Flextype v1.0.0-alpha.3 NULL access_token Authentication Bypass

Flextype CMS v1.0.0-alpha.3 API endpoints accept a NULL access_token because isset() validation lets requests bypass authentication.

Flextype CMS v1.0.0-alpha.3 API endpoints can declare access_token as a required parameter, but required-parameter validation only verifies the key exists in the request data. Authentication is then verified inside an isset($data['access_token']) condition, which in PHP treats a NULL value as absent. This allows requests supplying a NULL access_token to bypass authentication on affected endpoints. The flaw was disclosed on the Full Disclosure mailing list on September 3, 2026.

Muhstik Botnet Attacks Tomato Routers to Harvest New IoT Devices

Unit 42 found a Muhstik botnet variant brute-forcing Tomato router web authentication to harvest IoT devices for crypto mining and DDoS attacks.

Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 researchers in December 2019 identified a new Muhstik botnet variant scanning Tomato routers on TCP 8080 and brute-forcing default admin credentials, targeting roughly 4,600 exposed devices found via Shodan. The variant also scans WordPress and Webuzo installations and exploits the Oracle WebLogic deserialization flaw CVE-2019-2725 for unauthenticated remote code execution. Muhstik, active since March 2018, self-propagates like a worm and typically monetizes infections through cryptocurrency mining and DDoS attacks controlled via an IRC C2 channel.

Cisco UCS and UCS-Based Appliances UEFI Shell Secure Boot Bypass Vulnerability

Cisco disclosed a UEFI Secure Boot bypass in UCS servers and UCS-based appliances letting authenticated or physically present attackers execute unauthorized software.

Cisco published an advisory for a vulnerability in the UEFI Shell implementation of UCS servers and UCS-based appliances. Memory write commands remain available in the UEFI Shell while Secure Boot is enabled, allowing an attacker to modify UEFI memory and bypass validation checks to run unauthorized software. Exploitation requires either valid credentials for a user or admin account, or unauthenticated physical access to select the UEFI Shell boot option at boot time. The issue affects firmware boot integrity rather than the running operating system.
