Three JFrog Artifactory Flaws Exploited for Backdoor Deployment
Wiz reports multiple actors chaining three JFrog Artifactory auth flaws to gain admin and deploy backdoors; CISA added all three CVEs to KEV.
Wz reports threat actors exploiting CVE-2026-42018, CVE-2026-42016, and CVE-2026-82329 in self-hosted JFrog Artifactory instances to bypass authentication and gain administrative privileges. Between August 15 and September 8, 2026, multiple actors chained CVE-2026-42018 and CVE-2026-42016 to mint anonymous-user tokens, escalate privileges, create persistent admin accounts, install malicious plugins for code execution, and drop second-stage payloads. From early September, CVE-2026-82329 was exploited for configuration exfiltration, cluster key theft, token minting, and SSH key attachment to attacker-created accounts. CISA added all three CVEs to its KEV catalog, giving federal agencies two weeks under BOD 26-04 to patch to versions 7.161.20, 7.146.38, 7.133.29, 7.125.20, 7.117.28, or 7.111.21.

GitLab Vulnerability Exploited One Day After Disclosure
WatchTowr observed in-the-wild exploitation of critical GitLab path traversal CVE-2026-85706 one day after disclosure, letting unauthenticated attackers read arbitrary files.
WatchTowr detected the first in-the-wild probes for CVE-2026-85706 (CVSS 10.0), an unauthenticated path traversal in GitLab CE/EE that allows arbitrary file reads via a single HTTP request, and warns mass exploitation is likely. Affected versions include 18.7 before 19.1.8, 19.2 before 19.2.6, and 19.3 before 19.3.2. The fresh patches also fix 17 other vulnerabilities, including CVE-2026-87719 (CVSS 9.9), an insecure deserialization flaw in the GraphQL subscription serializer exposing Advanced Search credentials, plus six high-severity bugs enabling RCE, CI/CD variable access, XSS, and denial of service.

Check Point Patches Critical VPN Vulnerabilities
Check Point patches two critical unauthenticated RCE flaws (CVE-2026-85102, CVE-2026-85103) in VPN gateways and firewalls; no exploitation observed.
Check Point released patches for CVE-2026-85102 and CVE-2026-85103, two critical vulnerabilities (CVSS 9.8) enabling unauthenticated remote code execution in products using VPN functionality. CVE-2026-85102 involves improper validation of certificate data during VPN negotiation, while CVE-2026-85103 is a heap overflow in the VPN certificate ASN.1 decoding flow. Updates cover versions R82.10, R82, and R81.20; manually defining VPN rules is offered as a mitigation, though it does not apply to locally managed Spark Firewall instances. Check Point discovered both flaws internally and reports no evidence of exploitation in the wild.

PaperCut Flaws Exploited in AI-Powered Attacks
GreyNoise says a Russian-speaking actor used AI to build and deploy exploits hitting 440 PaperCut NG/MF deployments across 395 organizations in 48 countries.
Two PaperCut NG/MF zero-days, CVE-2026-82078 and CVE-2026-81578, disclosed August 27 and patched August 28, enable unauthenticated authentication bypass and remote code execution. GreyNoise observed a Russian-speaking threat actor using AI to orchestrate attacks against 440 deployments in 48 countries, including 204 education-sector organizations, achieving domain admin at 12 victims. Attack paths included harvesting LSASS memory and registry secrets, mounted NoPac attacks, and adding accounts to Domain Admins, with AI automation shortening compromises to minutes or seconds.

Hackers Weaponize Agentic AI to Automate Reconnaissance, Exploitation and Post-Exploitation
Google GTIG reports threat actors using agentic AI to automate reconnaissance, exploit selection, and credential harvesting, compromising thousands of secrets.
Google Threat Intelligence Group's Q3 2026 AI Threat Tracker documents threat actors operationalizing agentic AI: in one Mandiant investigation, a financially motivated actor built and executed a credential-harvesting operation in under six hours, with an exposed 'Recon' framework managing more than 23,800 harvested secrets including cloud and AI-service API keys. A Chinese-speaking actor tracked as knaithe used a DeepSeek-powered Hermes Agent for automated reconnaissance and vulnerability enumeration, pivoting from Langflow to n8n and enabling manual exploitation of exposed Citrix NetScaler, Marimo, Apache Tomcat, and VPN infrastructure. Operators harvested Citrix session cookies from process memory to bypass MFA, obtained AWS credentials from compromised Marimo instances, and deployed the Go-based NKAbuse backdoor, with reported RCE and data exfiltration. Google notes fully autonomous end-to-end AI attack pipelines have not yet been observed in the wild.

Risky Bulletin: BEC campaign steals €35 million from French notaries
Hackers stole over €35 million from 500+ French notary offices in a four-year BEC campaign; ANSSI spent two years helping evict the attackers.
A business email compromise campaign breached more than 500 French notary offices — about 7% of all French notaries per the Conseil Supérieur du Notariat — over four years, stealing more than €35 million by phishing initial access and silently modifying wire transfer details. France's cybersecurity agency ANSSI worked for two years behind the scenes to help notaries remove the persistent attackers, who had deep access; officials also feared hackers could issue fake notarized acts such as marriage certificates or forged real estate deals. No forged documents have been found so far, but notaries have added two-factor authentication and in-person requirements for banking details, and banks added extra checks in 2024. The newsletter also notes other incidents, including a $320 million Bitcoin extraction from Blockstream's Liquid Network and a JetBrains Cadence breach via TeamCity servers.
