Parallels Desktop Vulnerability Lets Non-Admin Mac Users Execute Code as Root

JFrog researchers disclosed CVE-2026-90894, a critical Parallels Desktop local privilege escalation letting non-admin Mac users execute code as root; fixed in 27.0.0.

JFrog researchers found that Parallels Desktop's privileged prl_disp_service daemon on macOS accepts unsigned local clients through a world-writable socket and allows argument injection into a tar command during appliance installation. Injecting the --use-compress-program option makes tar execute an attacker-controlled program as root, and a one-line proof of concept yielded a root shell without needing a running virtual machine. The flaw, dubbed ParaShells, was confirmed in Parallels Desktop 26.4.0 build 57513 on Apple Silicon and is fixed in version 27.0.0. No exploitation in the wild has been reported; administrators should inventory and upgrade affected installations and restrict local account access.

LiteSpeed Enterprise Flaw Could Let One Hosting Account Gain Root Access on a Shared Server

cPanel warns critical LiteSpeed Web Server Enterprise flaw (pre-6.3.7) lets shared-hosting account users gain root access.

A cPanel advisory published September 14 warns that a critical vulnerability in LiteSpeed Web Server Enterprise versions before 6.3.7 lets a low-privilege website user gain root access on shared-hosting servers, bypassing CageFS account isolation. LiteSpeed released version 6.3.7 on September 11, but auto-update may be delayed so admins should force the update manually. No CVE identifier, severity score, workaround, or exploitation information has been published. This is the third LiteSpeed root flaw since May, following CVE-2026-48172 and CVE-2026-54420 in the cPanel plugin, which were both actively exploited and added to CISA's KEV catalog.

AWS Console Private Access can block sign-ins to personal accounts

AWS Console Private Access goes GA, letting internet-isolated VPCs reach the console fully over PrivateLink and blocking personal account sign-ins.

AWS Console Private Access became generally available on August 28, allowing the AWS Management Console, sign-in flows, static assets, and console-only APIs to run entirely over PrivateLink endpoints from VPCs with no internet connectivity. Deployment requires three interface endpoints per Region, correct Private DNS and security group settings, and uses aws:PrincipalOrgID policies plus sign-in resource control policies to deny authentication from unexpected networks, which blocks corporate-network users from signing into personal AWS accounts. IAM Identity Center sign-in and consoles for services without PrivateLink support still need internet access, and a misconfigured policy can lock out the whole organization, so AWS recommends an excluded break-glass role; CLI and SDK SigV4 requests bypass these policies and serve as a recovery path.

VU#308749: Remote Code Execution and Arbitrary File Read Vulnerabilities in Kaltura Servers

Insecure deserialization in Kaltura's legacy HTML5 Player V2 (mwEmbed) allows arbitrary file read and remote code execution; Player V7 is unaffected.

CERT/CC issued VU#308749 for two flaws in Kaltura's HTML5 Player V2 library (mwEmbed/html5lib), both caused by the same insecure deserialization bug. The flaws enable arbitrary file read and remote code execution via the exposed mwEmbedLoader.php endpoint. Affected versions include html5lib v2.45, v2.103 and earlier, and other v2.x releases; the currently supported Player V7 is unaffected. No evidence of exploitation was cited.

cPanel LiteSpeed Web Server Vulnerability Allows Shared Server Users to Gain Root-Level Access

Critical LiteSpeed Enterprise flaw fixed in 6.3.7 lets low-privilege shared-hosting users escalate to root and bypass CageFS.

cPanel issued an urgent advisory for a critical privilege escalation in LiteSpeed Web Server Enterprise versions before 6.3.7, allowing a low-privilege shared-hosting account to gain root-level server control and bypass tenant isolation controls including CloudLinux CageFS. Root access would let attackers access other hosted sites, steal databases and credentials, deploy phishing pages, and install backdoors. Administrators are urged to upgrade to 6.3.7 immediately via lsup.sh and to review privileged account activity, cron jobs, SSH keys, and system binaries; no CVE identifier was published.

AsyncRAT Malware Abuses AutoIt and PowerShell to Hide Inside Legitimate Windows Process

Point Wild details a five-stage AsyncRAT campaign using AutoIt abuse and process injection to hide a .NET RAT inside Microsoft's signed charmap.exe.

Researchers at Point Wild Threat Intelligence analyzed a campaign starting from a lure batch file ('Right-click to open Invoice Details.bat') that launches hidden PowerShell to reconstruct a Base64/XOR-obfuscated payload. The stage drops a renamed signed AutoIt interpreter and loader script into %LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp and achieves persistence via a batch file in the user's Startup folder (T1547.001). The loader decrypts the payload in memory with single-byte XOR key 0x36 and injects it into SysWOW64\charmap.exe using OpenProcess/VirtualAllocEx/WriteProcessMemory/CreateRemoteThread, with PE-sieve confirming an in-memory implanted PE and patched AMSI modules. The final AsyncRAT payload performs screen capture and data theft, with observed C2 at 158[.]51[.]122[.]136:4944 over raw TCP.

Decade-old PostgreSQL flaw turns backup account into a backdoor

Cyera disclosed CVE-2026-6471, a decade-old PostgreSQL flaw letting REPLICATION-attribute accounts achieve RCE and superuser compromise, patched August 13.

Cyera Research's 'PostGREShell' flaw exists in PostgreSQL's logical replication output plugin loading, where the replication code path never called the library-path security check, allowing path traversal or UNC paths to load arbitrary code. A low-privilege backup account can achieve code execution on Windows, Linux, and macOS, then escalate to superuser with persistent backdoor access. CVE-2026-6471 affects versions back to PostgreSQL 9.4 (2014) and was patched in releases 18.6, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19, and 14.24 on August 13. CVSS is 7.2, and no exploitation of this specific CVE has been confirmed, though VirusTotal hunting found 114 malicious PostgreSQL plugins.

Impersonating IT support: how threat actors turn a remote session into enterprise-wide access

Microsoft details Teams IT-support impersonation campaigns deploying Node.js implants, AD reconnaissance, and WinRM lateral movement toward domain controllers.

Microsoft Threat Intelligence describes a human-operated campaign where attackers impersonate IT/helpdesk staff via Microsoft Teams external collaboration, talk users into granting remote sessions, and use RMM tools for interactive access. During the session they run PowerShell to silently install a malicious MSI that stages a portable Node.js runtime and obfuscated JavaScript implant for C2, executing follow-on payloads via rundll32. Operators then perform host and Active Directory reconnaissance, capture desktop screenshots, and pivot via WinRM on port 5985 to domain controllers and certificate authorities. The hands-on-keyboard chain, which can precede data theft and ransomware, blends into normal operations by relying on Teams, Quick Assist, msiexec, and Node.js; Microsoft shares hunting and mitigation guidance.
