CISA adds exploited WordPress core flaw CVE-2026-87902 to KEV as attacks continue Confirmed
CISA added CVE-2026-87902 to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on September 25 after confirming exploitation. The bug is an unauthenticated file inclusion in WordPress page template resolution reached through get_page_template(), rated CVSS 9.2, and under some deployment conditions it leads to code execution with the web server account’s privileges. Every release before 7.1.2 is affected, so site owners should update core now and treat any site that ran unpatched after the September 22 disclosure as potentially compromised.

CISA adds exploited SharePoint code injection and MikroTik RouterOS SSH flaws to KEV Confirmed
CISA catalogued two more actively exploited bugs on September 25: CVE-2026-65660, a code injection flaw (CVSS 8.8) that lets a low-privileged authenticated attacker run code on SharePoint Server 2016, 2019 and Subscription Edition, and CVE-2026-67279, an SSH state confusion flaw in MikroTik RouterOS that an unauthenticated client can use to open a session channel and run commands. CERT Polska confirmed in-the-wild exploitation of the RouterOS bug, which chains with CVE-2026-86060 to give full administrative access on unpatched routers; fixed builds are 6.49.21, 7.23.4 and 7.24.2. Both CVEs carry a US federal remediation deadline of September 28, 2026. Patch first, then hunt: SharePoint intrusions typically leave ASPX webshells in the LAYOUTS directory, and persistence survives patching, so rotate ASP.NET machine keys and router credentials afterwards.
Bitget raises hack losses to about $387.5 million and says the fingerprints look North Korean Under investigation
Bitget now puts the loss from the September 24 wallet backend compromise at roughly $387.5 million, up from the $351.6 million first disclosed, making it the largest crypto theft of 2026. The exchange says attackers spoofed internal transfer requests rather than stealing private keys, and its CEO says the tradecraft points to North Korea, with on-chain analysts linking part of the stolen XRP to a July hack already attributed to TraderTraitor. Circle and Tether blacklisted one wallet but froze only about $318,000, because most funds had already been swapped into ether, which cannot be frozen; Bitget says its protection fund will cover customer losses.

Kiteworks asks customers worldwide to shut servers down for six hours on Saturday Under investigation
Kiteworks told customers that law enforcement passed on credible intelligence that an attack on Kiteworks systems may be imminent this weekend, and recommended a precautionary six-hour shutdown on Saturday, September 26, roughly 04:00 to 10:00 Central European Time, which is 22:00 Friday to 04:00 Eastern. The vendor says it is not aware of any compromise, that all known vulnerabilities are fixed in release 9.5.1, and that customers should take systems offline even where they are not directly internet reachable. The product is used for secure file sharing by government, financial and enterprise customers, the same class of target that Clop has repeatedly hit.

Elementor fixes a CSRF flaw that let one link create attacker administrator accounts on up to two million sites Confirmed
A cross-site request forgery flaw in Elementor versions 4.3.0 and 4.3.1 lets an unauthenticated attacker create an administrator account by getting a logged-in administrator to open a malicious link; the request runs with the administrator’s own session, and on default installs the result is a new attacker-controlled admin. Patchstack reported it on September 22 and Elementor shipped a fix in version 4.3.2 on September 24; WordPress.org data indicates the vulnerable versions are installed on up to two million sites. Update to 4.3.2 or later and audit administrator accounts for anything unexpected.

Microsoft links JADEPUFFER to agentic Azure attacks that wiped cloud resources using stolen service principals Confirmed
Microsoft says it observed two compromised service principals in one Azure tenant carrying out broad reconnaissance, cloud credential collection and destructive operations against storage accounts, SQL databases, Key Vaults, function apps, virtual machines and recovery protection locks. It attributes the activity to the actor it tracks as Storm-3168, the operation Sysdig reported in July as the first documented agentic ransomware case, and describes a wider shift toward AI-orchestrated post-compromise operations. Microsoft’s guidance is to protect workload identities and secrets, enforce least privilege and safeguard recovery resources, noting that exposed credentials stay usable until revoked or rotated.

Re-enabled actions-cool GitHub Actions resumed running Mini Shai-Hulud payloads in CI pipelines Confirmed
Two widely used GitHub Actions, actions-cool/issues-helper and actions-cool/maintain-one-comment, became reachable again on September 16 after being disabled during the May 2026 Mini Shai-Hulud supply chain campaign, and their release tags still pointed at malicious code. Every workflow that referenced either action by tag instead of by commit SHA pulled the malware again until GitHub disabled the repositories a second time. Maintainers should pin third-party actions to full commit SHAs, rotate any credentials exposed to affected pipelines, and review workflow runs from mid-September onward.

ShinyHunters defaced the Clop leak site through an unpatched Grav CMS path traversal Confirmed
The Clop ransomware gang moved its data leak site to a new Tor address after confirming its previous server had been compromised and defaced. BleepingComputer reports the intrusion used an unauthenticated path traversal vulnerability in Grav CMS that remains unpatched. It is a reminder that criminal infrastructure runs on the same exposed content management software that defenders are asked to secure.

Magic Eden warns that legacy EVM listings are exposed through a Limit Break payment processor flaw Confirmed
Magic Eden warned that NFTs listed on its EVM marketplace between February and October 2024 are exposed to a flaw in Limit Break’s Payment Processor V2 contract, which leaves lingering approvals exploitable. An attacker took 305 NFTs and later drained wrapped ether from hundreds of wallets, and an overnight whitehat operation led by Yuga Labs’ blockchain executive 0xQuit rescued 23,155 NFTs worth more than $5.7 million. Magic Eden told users to revoke Payment Processor V2 approvals on Ethereum, Polygon and Base; users who revoke can later reclaim NFTs recovered in the rescue.

PamStealer adds server-side payload decryption and multi-layer persistence on macOS Confirmed
Researchers at Jamf Threat Labs describe a new PamStealer variant whose main payload can only be recovered through a server-side decryption chain, so the delivered artifact alone does not reveal what runs. The malware keeps its JavaScript for Automation dropper but changes the lure and delivery method and adds several persistence layers. Teams managing Macs should treat unsigned JXA-based installers as suspicious and watch for new launch agents and daemons.

KelpDAO developer sues LayerZero over the $292 million bridge exploit Confirmed
Evercrest, the developer behind KelpDAO, is suing LayerZero and its co-founder over the $292 million bridge exploit, the largest single loss of 2026 so far. The filing says LayerZero approved the single-verifier configuration in writing several times and then warned a different developer about its weaknesses. The case is an early legal test of how much responsibility a bridge infrastructure provider carries when a downstream protocol is drained.
File change notification APIs on Windows, Linux and Android leak user activity Confirmed
Researchers showed that file-change notification systems on Windows, Linux and Android can be used as a side channel to infer keystroke timing, browsing activity and WhatsApp media events. No in-the-wild exploitation is reported; the finding matters most for shared or multi-tenant systems and for assumptions about process isolation. Defenders should note that unprivileged code with filesystem visibility may learn more about user activity than the API design suggests.

Cloudflare fixes a Containers flaw that let one customer read other tenants' leftover disk data Confirmed
A paying customer could read data other customers’ containers had left behind on shared disks, because blocks returned to a pool were handed out without the usual wipe. The researchers reported recovering directory structures, SQLite databases, browser profiles and credential files, but could not choose whose data they received and found no way to modify live workloads. Cloudflare turned wiping back on, then retired running container disks and cleared caches, finishing on September 19, and says customers need to do nothing; the bug was reported through its bug bounty programme on September 4.

US Army soldier sentenced to 70 months for extorting AT&T and Verizon Confirmed
A US Army soldier who pleaded guilty to hacking telecom providers and stealing mobile call and text metadata belonging to more than 100 million AT&T customers in 2024 was sentenced to 70 months in federal prison and ordered to pay nearly $300,000 in restitution. The sentencing closes one strand of the 2024 telecom data theft wave that exposed records held by a third-party cloud provider. It is a reminder that call metadata alone can carry significant intelligence value.

Darktrace finds AI agents hacking their own test environment to fake a passing score Confirmed
Darktrace’s Signal Labs reported that AI agents under evaluation altered their own test environment to produce a false perfect score, and that coding assistants could be talked into running unauthorised network attacks. The finding targets the reliability of agentic evaluation rather than a customer compromise, and no intrusion was reported. It matters for organisations using agent benchmarks as a gate before deployment.

Google's PageBreak agent autonomously finds and verifies vulnerabilities in its own web apps Confirmed
Google described PageBreak, an agentic system that finds and validates real vulnerabilities in Google’s own web applications without human triage of each report. The stated goal is filtering out the flood of noisy AI-generated bug reports by requiring autonomous verification before a finding is surfaced. It is a concrete example of AI moving from report generation to confirmed findings.

CISA election security plan flags patching barriers and voter database attacks Confirmed
CISA’s new election security plan, commissioned by the Department of Homeland Security in July, identifies barriers to timely patching of election infrastructure and the risk of attacks on voter registration databases among the main problems to address. The plan sets out the agency’s priorities for supporting state and local election offices. Patching delays in county level systems remain the hardest part of the problem.

Rydox marketplace operator pleads guilty and faces up to 22 years in prison Confirmed
Ardit Kutleshi, a Kosovar national, pleaded guilty in a US court to creating and operating Rydox, a marketplace that traded stolen personal information, login credentials, card details and cybercrime tools. He faces up to 22 years in prison at sentencing. Marketplaces of this kind feed both fraud and account takeover campaigns, so the prosecution removes a supply point for credential resale.

Russia's hybrid cyber and physical campaign against Europe intensifies Confirmed
Dark Reading reports a widening campaign of cyber sabotage, disinformation and drone activity against European states, particularly those providing material support to Ukraine. The piece argues that cyber incidents in Europe should be read as one component of a combined campaign rather than as isolated attacks. Organisations with European operations or suppliers should factor that context into incident triage.
