A critical flaw in GitLab's AI Gateway could let a logged-in user with Duo Agent Platform access run commands on the gateway under certain conditions, GitLab  said in an advisory . The gateway is the service that connects a GitLab instance to AI models, and only organizations that host their own gateway need to act. The flaw is fixed in gateway versions 19.2.4, 19.3.2, and 19.4.1. The flaw is tracked as  CVE-2026-90970 . GitLab disclosed it on October 2 and rated it critical, with a CVSS score of 9.9 out of 10. GitLab runs AI Gateways for its customers and has already fixed them. Customers on GitLab.com, GitLab Dedicated, and self-managed instances that use a GitLab-hosted gateway do not need to act, the company said. Self-managed customers can instead  host their own gateway , an option GitLab offers for keeping AI request and response data inside the customer's own environment. GitLab strongly recommends that those customers update immediately. It sent that gui...

Dell has released security updates to address multiple critical security flaws in Dell Container Storage Modules (CSM) that could be exploited by bad actors to take over susceptible systems. The vulnerabilities are listed below - CVE-2026-63688 (CVSS score: 10.0) - A missing authentication for critical function vulnerability in the csm-authorization-storage gRPC server that an unauthenticated remote attacker could exploit to obtain unauthorized access to storage backend administrator credentials for all registered storage arrays. CVE-2026-63692 (CVSS score: 10.0) - A missing authentication for critical function vulnerability in the authorization proxy and tenant service that an unauthenticated network attacker could exploit to bypass authentication controls and gain administrative-level privileges. CVE-2026-67269 (CVSS score: 9.9) - An improper privilege management vulnerability in the ContainerStorageModule Custom Resource reconciler that a low-privilege remote attac...

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), on Thursday, added a critical security flaw impacting Fortinet FortiMail to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities ( KEV ) catalog, following reports of active exploitation. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-104286 (CVSS score: 9.8), allows unauthenticated attackers to write arbitrary files on the underlying system. "An improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory ('path traversal') [CWE-22] and improper neutralization of NULL byte or NULL character [CWE-158] vulnerability may allow an unauthenticated attacker to write arbitrary files on the underlying system via crafted HTTP or HTTPS requests," Fortinet said in an advisory. The vulnerability impacts the following versions - FortiMail 8.0.0 through 8.0.1 (Upgrade to upcoming 8.0.2 or above) FortiMail 7.6.0 through 7.6.6 (Upgrade to upcoming 7.6.7 or above) FortiMail 7.4.0 through 7.4.8 (Upgrade to upcoming 7.4.9 or a...

This week, the useful words are boring ones: inspect, cache, compile, store, trust. Each sounds harmless. Each can become an attack path when a system does a little more than people expect. A model check can run code. A cache can mix up requests. A public secret can stay useful for years. That is the lesson running through the list. Attackers do not always need a brilliant new trick. They can hide commands in public infrastructure, reuse old flaws, abuse weak defaults, or let automation stitch together a rough path that still works. Faster tools are changing the pace, but basic mistakes are still doing plenty of the work. So the interesting question this week is not “what broke?” It is “what did we assume was safe because it looked ordinary?” The full list has answers. The threats change every week.

Cybersecurity researchers have shed light on a WordPress compromise in which threat actors deployed multiple persistence mechanisms to ensure that the final payload kept returning without having to infect the site again. The backdoor has been codenamed SC after the "SC_" markers present in the injected content. Sucuri has described the malware as a "self-healing mesh" that's blockchain-controlled. "The payload lives in at least eight places at once, spread across files, the database, and shared memory, and every one of those places can rebuild all the others," security researcher Gabriel Barbosa said . "Delete the plugin and a drop-in rewrites it. Delete the drop-in and the theme rewrites it. Clean every file on disk, and the next page load restores the whole set from the database or from a shared-memory segment. The result is a circular system with no single point you can remove to stop it." According to Sucuri, the malware does no...
