LiteLLM Flaws Let Attackers Execute Code as Root and Steal Cloud Credentials

Wiz disclosed LiteLLM flaws including CVE-2026-59822 MCP auth bypass, now in CISA KEV, enabling root RCE and AWS credential theft from exposed gateways.

Wiz researchers disclosed weaknesses in the open-source LiteLLM AI gateway: CVE-2026-59821 allows authenticated administrators to execute code as root via the Custom Code Guardrails feature, while CVE-2026-59822 is an MCP authentication bypass where a meaningless Bearer token establishes a valid session. The MCP bypass was observed in the wild through Wiz honeypots and added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on September 2. A scan of 3,074 internet-facing instances found 294 (9.6%) accepting the default master key sk-1234 or lacking authentication. Fixes shipped in LiteLLM 1.82.0 (guardrail hardening) and 1.84.0 (MCP bypass); exposed instances can leak provider API keys and temporary AWS IAM credentials via the pass-through feature and metadata service, with a related config-check issue tracked as CVE-2026-35029.

None of the vulnerabilities are listed as actively exploited.

Chrome 153 Fixes 230 Vulnerabilities, Including One 0-Day Exploited in the Wild

Google shipped Chrome 153 with 230 fixes, including CVE-2026-87491, a V8 out-of-bounds write zero-day exploited in the wild.

Chrome 153 (153.0.8010.36/.37) rolls out to Windows, Mac, and Linux with 230 security fixes, among the largest patch batches in recent Chrome history. The headline flaw is CVE-2026-87491, a Medium-severity out-of-bounds write in the V8 JavaScript and WebAssembly engine that Google confirmed is exploited in the wild; it was reported by Jihyeon Jeong of Compsec Lab at Seoul National University for a $2,500 bounty. The release also closes five Critical-rated flaws, including CVE-2026-87464, CVE-2026-87488, CVE-2026-87438, CVE-2026-87527, and CVE-2026-87628, mostly use-after-free and out-of-bounds write bugs in WebGL and Cast, plus 43 High-severity issues across ANGLE, PDFium, V8, DevTools, and Payments. Several bugs were surfaced with AI-assisted discovery tools, including OpenAI's Codex Security team, and top bounties reached $5,000 for CVE-2026-87504.

Four Nation-State Actors Used the Same Chrome Zero-Day Exploit Kit Within 12 Days

Proofpoint reports four nation-state actors, mostly China-nexus, adopted the BlueMoon Chrome and Windows zero-day exploit kit within 12 days, targeting US organizations.

Proofpoint tracked an exploit kit dubbed BlueMoon that chains CVE-2026-85046, a Chrome V8 type-confusion bug, with an unnamed V8 sandbox escape and CVE-2026-85880, a Windows kernel privilege escalation using ALPC and the Windows Notification Facility. The first observed use was by China-nexus TA412 (APT31, Violet Typhoon, JungleBamboo) on August 28, 2026 against US NGOs, mining companies, and commodity trading firms, followed by UNK_LateNight targeting US aerospace and defense companies on September 2. Both V8 bugs were patch-gap zero-days: the fix was committed to Chromium on August 7 but reached stable Chrome on September 3, enabling rapid weaponization from public patches. TA412's post-exploitation payload, GemStone, is a malicious browser extension posing as an AI-powered Google Gemini companion that captures keystrokes, cookies, screenshots, and browsing history via a Cloudflare Worker C2.
