Threat actors are beginning to probe for a newly patched critical vulnerability in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), according to threat intelligence firm Defused Cyber. The vulnerability in question is CVE-2026-101767 (CVSS score: 9.8) , a case of improper authentication in the Oracle Application Object Library of Oracle E-Business Suite. It was patched by Oracle last week as part of its Critical Patch Update . Security researchers Brandon Peterson, Jimi Sebree, and Noah King of Horizon3.ai have been credited with discovering and reporting the flaw to Oracle on July 24, 2026. "Our Oracle E-Business Suite decoys recorded exploratory exploits against CVE-2026-101767, an unauthenticated SQL injection in EBS's Thin Client Framework servlet that chains to remote code execution, this morning, October 27," Defused Cyber said in an X post. In an advisory for the vulnerability, Horizon3.ai described it as an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability that could be chaine...

A critical 16-year-old flaw in EDK II , the open-source code that most hardware makers use to build UEFI firmware, can allow an attacker to run code on a machine before its operating system loads, but only while the machine is booting over the network. UEFI firmware is the software that runs first when a computer is switched on, before the operating system. An attacker who can reach the machine with a crafted network message during such a network boot can hang the boot, or, with work tailored to the exact firmware build, run their own code before Secure Boot and other startup defenses load. An attacker needs no password and no existing access to the machine, but does need to reach it over the network during the short window when it is booting this way. Red Hat and SUSE, which both ship the affected code, rated the flaw as one an attacker exploits from an adjacent network position rather than across the open internet. TianoCore, the project behind EDK II,  published an advi...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become one of this decade's defining technologies. From healthcare and finance to manufacturing and education, organizations increasingly rely on AI to automate repetitive tasks, uncover patterns hidden within large datasets, and support faster decision-making. Cybersecurity has experienced a similar transformation. While attackers employ AI to automate cyberattacks and accelerate vulnerability discovery, defenders are adopting AI to improve threat detection and enhance incident response. Security Operations Centers (SOCs) receive a high volume of alerts from endpoints, cloud workloads, network devices, identity providers, and business applications. Although SIEM and XDR platforms provide visibility into these environments, analysts often spend considerable time correlating alerts, searching documentation, and determining the next investigative steps. AI offers a practical way to augment analysts by providing contextual explanations, summarizing ...

Adobe has released patches to address multiple critical security flaws in Campaign Classic that, if successfully exploited, could result in arbitrary code execution, security feature bypass, and privilege escalation. The list of eight vulnerabilities is as follows - CVE-2026-104351 (CVSS score: 9.9) - A code injection vulnerability that could lead to arbitrary code execution. CVE-2026-104353 (CVSS score: 9.9) - An operating system code injection vulnerability that could lead to arbitrary code execution. CVE-2026-105780 (CVSS score: 9.9) - An incorrect authorization vulnerability that could lead to arbitrary code execution. CVE-2026-105489 (CVSS score: 9.9) - An SQL injection vulnerability that could lead to security feature bypass. CVE-2026-105781 (CVSS score: 9.8) - An SQL injection vulnerability that could lead to security feature bypass. CVE-2026-104350 (CVSS score: 9.3) - A reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability that could lead to privilege escalation....

Modern phishing campaigns can compromise American businesses without relying on traditional credential theft. Attackers can abuse legitimate cloud services, authentication mechanisms, and trusted business workflows to gain access to corporate accounts while leaving fewer obvious signs behind. ANY.RUN 's analysis of Skyw4lker , a device code phishing campaign primarily targeting U.S. organizations, shows how this works in practice. The campaign has focused on manufacturing, technology, and healthcare , using business-themed documents, Google-hosted infrastructure, and Microsoft authentication flows to facilitate account compromise. For security teams, the investigation goes beyond identifying the initial lure. It requires tracing the authentication flow and supporting infrastructure, extracting reliable indicators, and turning those findings into detections that can protect the wider organization. Device Code Phishing: A Growing Challenge for U.S. Organizations The scale of...

An unreleased Anthropic AI model found security flaws in Chrome, Safari, Android, Windows, and Linux and chained them into working proof-of-concept exploits, the company said in its latest report. The exploits were built in the lab after the model was prompted, not seen in any real attack, and Anthropic reported every flaw to the vendor first, so all of them are already patched. One proof of concept opened the Calculator app on a stock Mac running Chrome within seconds of a page loading, with no further clicks. Anthropic's Frontier Red Team described five chains in a research post. The strongest claim is not any single bug, but that one model found several separate flaws and combined them into a working exploit, something the company says has until now been the work of a few specialist teams. That capability claim rests on Anthropic's own account. The patches and the fact that Apple and Google credit Anthropic and its Claude model for specific fixes can be verified with...

The U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) on Tuesday announced the seizure of a domain associated with a bulletproof hosting provider (BPH) named Virtualine . The move was in response to the service being used to commit and facilitate prolific criminal activity, including "the advertisement of sexually explicit images of minors, the intentional disclosure of nonconsensual intimate visual depictions of adults and minors, and international money laundering designed to conceal and promote criminal conduct," the DoJ said . Visitors to the "virtualine[.]net" domain are now greeted by a message that states it has been seized by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation as part of a coordinated operation between international law enforcement agencies and private sector entities, including the Hessen State Police, the National Police Corps of the Netherlands, the U.K. National Crime Agency, OverRIPE, and Lumen Technologies. According to court documents, Virtualine, which a...
