Cisco has warned that a new critical vulnerability impacting AsyncOS Software for Cisco Secure Email Gateway has come under active exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-76461 , carries a CVSS score of 9.8 out of a maximum of 10.0. It has been described as a case of insufficient validation in the email parsing logic that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to run arbitrary commands with root privileges on the underlying operating system. "An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted email message that contains malicious SQL statements through an affected device," Cisco said in a Monday advisory. "A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary SQL statements, leading to command execution with root privileges on the underlying operating system." The shortcoming affects Cisco Secure Email Gateway, both physical and virtual, regardless of device configuration. However, the networkin...

SAP has released security updates to address multiple vulnerabilities, including a maximum-severity flaw in SAP Extended Passport (EPP) Processing that could have a severe impact on the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the application The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-44756 (CVSS score: 10.0), has been described as a case of memory corruption. Discovered and reported by SAP security company Onapsis, it has been codenamed OVERPASS . The flaw, which resides in the SAP kernel's processing of the Extended Passport (EPP), is exploitable remotely and without authentication, and allows bad actors to run arbitrary operating system commands on the SAP host with SAP administrative privileges, leading to a total compromise of the underlying SAP business data and processes. CVE-2026-44756 stems from a missing boundary validation during the deserialization of EPP data, leading to a memory safety violation when processing externally supplied length fields. An unauthe...

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Tuesday added a maximum-severity security flaw impacting N-able N-central to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities ( KEV ) catalog, requiring Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies to apply the fixes by September 11, 2026. The vulnerability in question is CVE-2026-86218 (CVSS score: 10.0), which has been described as a case of static code injection. It has been patched in N-central 2026.3 Hotfix 4 , released on September 5, 2026. "N-able N-central contains a static code injection vulnerability that could allow for pre-authentication remote code execution," CISA said. The development came shortly after Huntress said it commenced an investigation following the compromise of a customer's fully patched N-central production environment on September 4, 2026. However, it remains unclear if the intrusion involved CVE-2026-86218 or two other vulnerabilities ( CVE-2026-86206 and CVE-2026-86207 )...

Security researcher Olivier Laflamme has disclosed two independent root remote code execution (RCE) chains affecting the Unitree G1 EDU , including a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) path that can reach root on the robot's Locomotion PC. The flaws are tracked as  CVE-2026-76639  and  CVE-2026-76640 , with the first involving a network-adjacent path through chat_go and bashrunner and the second beginning from BLE proximity. An exact fixed firmware release has not been verified in any accessible Unitree guidance, leaving G1 EDU owners without a confirmed release target for either vulnerability. Laflamme said Unitree patched the cloud account-to-robot ownership check in July 2026, closing the cross-owner arbitrary-G1 path. As of the August 27 disclosure, a G1 owner could still use an account bound to their own robot to recover its Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) key. The underlying BLE issues, a write to 0xFFE2 that does not require pairing and the BSS buffer overflow,...

The CERT Coordination Center (CERT/CC) has disclosed two unpatched vulnerabilities in Kaltura's HTML5 video player library that allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to read arbitrary files from a server and execute code on it. The flaws, tracked as CVE-2026-19913 and CVE-2026-19912 , both stem from the same unsafe deserialization in the mwEmbedLoader.php endpoint of the mwEmbed player library, which Kaltura also distributes as html5lib. Neither requires authentication or a Kaltura session token, and network access to the endpoint is the only precondition CERT/CC states. No patch is available, and CERT/CC said it was "unable to reach Kaltura to coordinate these vulnerabilities." Administrators are advised to restrict or disable external access to the endpoint and to enforce a strict allow-list for the ServiceUrl parameter that permits only legitimate backend API URLs. No exploitation had been reported at the time of writing, and neither CVE appeared in CISA...
