The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Wednesday added a high-severity flaw impacting Microsoft SharePoint Server to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, citing evidence of active exploitation. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-45659 (CVSS score: 8.8), is a case of remote code execution arising from the deserialization of untrusted data. The issue was addressed by Microsoft in May 2026 for SharePoint Server Subscription Edition, SharePoint Server 2019, and SharePoint Enterprise Server 2016. Microsoft noted that any authenticated attacker could trigger the vulnerability, and that it does not require admin or other elevated privileges. In a network-based attack, an authenticated attacker with a minimum of Site Member permissions (PR:L) could leverage it to execute code remotely on the SharePoint Server. "Microsoft SharePoint Server contains a deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability which allows an authorized attacker t...

Adobe has released patches for multiple maximum-severity security flaws impacting Adobe ColdFusion and Adobe Campaign Classic. The ColdFusion updates "resolves critical and important vulnerabilities that could lead to arbitrary code execution, privilege escalation, arbitrary file system read, and security feature bypass," Adobe said in an alert released Tuesday. The vulnerabilities are listed below - CVE-2026-48276, CVE-2026-48283 (CVSS scores: 10.0) - Unrestricted upload of file with dangerous type vulnerabilities that could lead to arbitrary code execution CVE-2026-48277, CVE-2026-48281, CVE-2026-48316 (CVSS scores: 10.0) - Improper input validation vulnerabilities that could lead to arbitrary code execution CVE-2026-48282 (CVSS score: 10.0) - A path traversal vulnerability that could lead to arbitrary code execution CVE-2026-48313 (CVSS score: 9.3) - A path traversal vulnerability that could lead to arbitrary file system read CVE-2026-48315 (CVS...

A recently disclosed critical security flaw impacting Progress Kemp LoadMaster is seeing active exploitation attempts, according to an advisory from eSentire's Threat Response Unit (TRU). The Canadian cybersecurity company said it identified exploitation attempts targeting CVE-2026-8037 (CVSS score: 9.6), an operating system (OS) command injection flaw that could be exploited to achieve arbitrary code execution on susceptible devices. The exploitation activity commenced on June 29, 2026. "OS Command Injection Remote Code Execution Vulnerability in API in Progress LoadMaster allows an unauthenticated attacker with permissions to execute arbitrary commands on the LoadMaster appliance by exploiting unsanitized input," Progress said in an advisory for the vulnerability released early last month. In an analysis published this week, watchTowr Labs described the flaw as rooted in a function named "escape_quotes()" within the load balancer application and tha...

Citrix on Tuesday released security updates to address multiple flaws in NetScaler ADC (formerly Citrix ADC) and NetScaler Gateway (formerly Citrix Gateway) that could be exploited by an attacker to facilitate arbitrary file reads or trigger a denial-of-service (DoS) condition. The vulnerabilities are listed below - CVE-2026-8451 (CVSS score: 8.8) - An insufficient input validation vulnerability leading to memory overread when NetScaler ADC or NetScaler Gateway is configured as a SAML IDP CVE-2026-8452 (CVSS score: 8.8) - A memory overflow vulnerability leading to unpredictable or erroneous behavior and denial-of-service when the appliance is configured as a Gateway or an AAA virtual server CVE-2026-8655 (CVSS score: 8.8) - Multiple memory overflow vulnerabilities leading to unpredictable or erroneous behavior and denial-of-service when NetScaler ADC is configured as an LB of type Oracle, a DNS Proxy, or a DNS recursive resolver deployment CVE-2026-10816 (CVSS sco...

A new two-stage malware family called RustDuck is hijacking home routers, IP cameras, Android boxes, and poorly secured servers, then stitching them into a network built to knock websites and online services offline. Researchers at QiAnXin's XLab have tracked it since February 2026, and say the real story is not how big it is today, but how fast it is changing. The end goal is a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack: flooding a target with junk traffic from the infected machines until it buckles. RustDuck is one more entrant in a crowded field, but it stands out for two reasons. It is being rewritten from the C programming language into Rust, and its newer versions go to unusual lengths to avoid being studied or shut down. How it spreads RustDuck does not lean on a single clever trick. It sprays a mix of old, well-known weaknesses and hopes one sticks. The first is the oldest in the book: devices left on the internet with weak or default passwords on their rem...
