CISA Adds Actively Exploited VMware Aria Operations Flaw CVE-2026-22719 to KEV Catalog

Mar 04, 2026 Vulnerability / Enterprise Security
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Tuesday added a recently disclosed security flaw impacting Broadcom VMware Aria Operations to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities ( KEV ) catalog, citing active exploitation in the wild. The high-severity vulnerability, CVE-2026-22719 (CVSS score: 8.1), has been described as a case of command injection that could allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands. "A malicious unauthenticated actor may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary commands, which may lead to remote code execution in VMware Aria Operations while support-assisted product migration is in progress," the company said in an advisory released late last month. The shortcoming was addressed, along withCVE-2026-22720, a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability, and CVE-2026-22721, a privilege escalation vulnerability that could result in administrative access. It impacts the following products - VMware Cloud Foundatio...
Open-Source CyberStrikeAI Deployed in AI-Driven FortiGate Attacks Across 55 Countries

Open-Source CyberStrikeAI Deployed in AI-Driven FortiGate Attacks Across 55 Countries

Mar 03, 2026 Vulnerability / Artificial Intelligence
The threat actor behind the recently disclosed artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted campaign targeting Fortinet FortiGate appliances leveraged an open-source, AI-native security testing platform called CyberStrikeAI to execute the attacks. The new findings come from Team Cymru, which detected its use following an analysis of the IP address ("212.11.64[.]250") that was used by the suspected Russian-speaking threat actor to conduct automated mass scanning for vulnerable appliances. CyberStrikeAI is an "open-source artificial intelligence (AI) offensive security tool (OST) developed by a China-based developer who we assess has some ties to the Chinese government," security researcher Will Thomas (aka @BushidoToken ) said . Details of the AI-powered activity came to light last month when Amazon Threat Intelligence said it detected the unknown attacker systematically targeting FortiGate devices using generative artificial intelligence (AI) services like Anthropic ...

New Chrome Vulnerability Let Malicious Extensions Escalate Privileges via Gemini Panel

Mar 02, 2026 Vulnerability / Artificial Intelligence
Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a now-patched security flaw in Google Chrome that could have permitted attackers to escalate privileges and gain access to local files on the system. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-0628 (CVSS score: 8.8), has been described as a case of insufficient policy enforcement in the WebView tag. It was patched by Google in early January 2026 in version 143.0.7499.192/.193 for Windows/Mac and 143.0.7499.192 for Linux. "Insufficient policy enforcement in WebView tag in Google Chrome prior to 143.0.7499.192 allowed an attacker who convinced a user to install a malicious extension to inject scripts or HTML into a privileged page via a crafted Chrome extension," according to a description on the NIST National Vulnerability Database (NVD). Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 researcher Gal Weizman, who discovered and reported the flaw on November 23, 2025, said the issue could have permitted malicious extensions with basic permissi...
