Threat actors are exploiting a recently disclosed critical security flaw in Ghost CMS to inject malicious JavaScript code with an aim to fuel ClickFix attacks. According to QiAnXin XLab, the activity involves the exploitation of CVE-2026-26980 (CVSS score: 9.4), an SQL injection vulnerability in Ghost's Content API that could allow an unauthenticated attacker to read arbitrary data from the database. The security flaw was addressed in February 2026 in version 6.19.1. The vulnerability was discovered by Anthropic using Claude. What makes the vulnerability severe is that it allows an attacker to gain access to a site's admin API key without permission, granting them the ability to poison the site by injecting malicious code. The admin API key can be used to invoke the admin API and can directly modify articles published on the content management system. The threat actor leveraged the security flaw to "obtain the target site's Admin API Key without authorizati...

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has added a recently patched critical security flaw impacting Drupal Core to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities ( KEV ) catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation. The vulnerability in question is CVE-2026-9082 (CVSS score: 6.5), an SQL injection vulnerability affecting all supported versions of Drupal Core. "Drupal Core contains a SQL injection vulnerability that could allow for privilege escalation and remote code execution via specially crafted requests sent with the database abstraction API," CISA said. News of exploitation arrives less than two days after Drupal released fixes for the flaw. Patches are available for the following versions - Drupal 11.3.10 Drupal 11.2.12 Drupal 11.1.10 Drupal 10.6.9 Drupal 10.5.10 Drupal 10.4.10 Drupal 9.5 (Manual patching required) Drupal 8.9 (Manual patching required) In an update to its advisory on May 22, 2026, Drupal acknowl...

Ivanti, Fortinet, n8n, SAP, and VMware have released security fixes for various vulnerabilities that could be exploited by bad actors to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary code. Topping the list is a critical flaw impacting Ivanti Xtraction (CVE-2026-8043, CVSS score: 9.6) that could be exploited to achieve information disclosure or client-side attacks. "External control of a file name in Ivanti Xtraction before version 2026.2 allows a remote authenticated attacker to read sensitive files and write arbitrary HTML files to a web directory, leading to information disclosure and possible client-side attacks," Ivanti said in an advisory. Fortinet published advisories for two critical shortcomings affecting FortiAuthenticator and FortiSandbox, FortiSandbox Cloud, and FortiSandbox PaaS that could result in code execution - CVE-2026-44277 (CVSS score: 9.1) - An improper access control vulnerability in FortiAuthenticator that may allow an unauthenticated attacker to...
