SAP Commerce Cloud CVE-2026
Attackers actively exploit unauthenticated RCE CVE-2026-58231 (CVSS 10.0) in SAP Commerce Cloud days after patch release.
CVE-2026-58231, a maximum-severity flaw in SAP Commerce Cloud (CVSS 10.0), allows unauthenticated attackers to abuse a default authentication client and bypass insufficient validation, achieving arbitrary code execution and compromise of internal components. Defused Cyber researchers observed exploitation attempts against honeypots only three days after SAP released the patch. The flaw had no public PoC and was not previously known to be exploited. The attackers are unknown, though past critical SAP flaws have been exploited by China-linked groups UNC5221 and UNC5174 and ransomware gangs.
SAP Commerce Cloud CVE-2026-58231 Targeted in Exploitation Attempts Days After Patch
A maximum-severity (CVSS 10.0) unauthenticated RCE flaw in SAP Commerce Cloud, CVE-2026-58231, is under active exploitation days after patching.
CVE-2026-58231, rated 10.0 on CVSS, stems from insufficient authorization checks and input validation in SAP Commerce Cloud, enabling unauthenticated arbitrary code execution. Defused Cyber's honeypots detected exploitation attempts three days after the patch, and KEVIntel independently confirmed two attempts on August 14 from a US IP address. Onapsis urges customers to patch and rebuild, with an IP Filter Set offered as a temporary workaround. No actor attribution yet, though prior SAP NetWeaver flaw CVE-2025-31324 was exploited by China-nexus and criminal groups.
Attackers Exploit SharePoint Authentication Bypass After Public PoC Release
Attackers exploit SharePoint authentication bypass CVE-2026-55040 (CVSS 9.1) after Rapid7's PoC release, with 12 exploitation attempts recorded since July 19, 2026.
Microsoft patched CVE-2026-55040 in its July 2026 Patch Tuesday; the 9.1-severity flaw chains four weaknesses in SharePoint's JWT token validation pipeline, letting unauthenticated attackers forge valid JWTs and impersonate any SharePoint site user or administrator. Threat actors began exploiting the bug after Rapid7 released a Python PoC that forges tokens and enumerates domain users by SID. KEVIntel telemetry shows 12 exploitation attempts since July 19, 2026, eight of them on August 12-13 following the PoC release, originating from eight IPs across Hong Kong, Japan, the Netherlands, Taiwan, and the U.S. This is the fifth SharePoint vulnerability exploited this year, alongside CVE-2026-45659, CVE-2026-56164, CVE-2026-58644, and CVE-2026-50522.
Attackers Exploit VMware vCenter Vulnerability to Gain Persistent Remote Access
Attackers actively exploit critical VMware vCenter flaw CVE-2026-59310, installing reverse_ssh backdoors on 361 hosts across 47 countries.
QUIRSO observed active exploitation of CVE-2026-59310 (CVSS 9.8), a directory-traversal flaw in VMware vCenter allowing arbitrary code execution, patched by Broadcom in late July. Attack chains deploy a malicious cron job running the open-source reverse_ssh tool for persistence, with compromised systems phoning home starting August 3, five days after disclosure. Forensics show 361 unique victim IPs in 47 countries, mostly Germany, the U.S., Turkey, Iran, and France, with the actor suspected to be an APT. Separately, Defused Cyber reports rising scanning indicative of exploitation of related CVE-2026-59309, an unauthenticated auth bypass in vmdir.
