Critical Vulnerabilities

⚠️ Actively exploited — CVE-2026-94127 | F5 BIG-IP APM | CVSS: not yet scored
A heap-based buffer overflow in F5 BIG-IP APM triggers when both an access policy and an OAuth profile are configured on a virtual server. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this to achieve remote code execution — no credentials required. CISA's remediation deadline was today (September 25); if you haven't patched or mitigated, that window is closed. Prioritise immediately.

⚠️ Actively exploited — CVE-2026-85102 | Check Point Security Gateway & Spark Firewall | CVSS: not yet scored
Improper certificate validation in Check Point's Security Gateway and Spark Firewall — affecting Site-to-Site VPN and Remote Access VPN configurations — allows unauthenticated remote code execution. Also due for remediation today. Two Check Point CVEs in the KEV simultaneously is a bad look; treat your perimeter firewalls as compromised until verified clean.

⚠️ Actively exploited — CVE-2026-93616 | Check Point Security Management & Log Servers | CVSS: not yet scored
A path traversal flaw across Check Point's Security Management Server, Multi-Domain variants, Log Server, and SmartEvent lets unauthenticated attackers upload and execute arbitrary scripts. Combined with CVE-2026-85102 above, the Check Point estate is under active, broad pressure right now. Isolate management interfaces immediately.

⚠️ Actively exploited — CVE-2026-93952 | Arista VeloCloud Orchestrator (on-prem) | CVSS: not yet scored
Improper input validation in Arista's VeloCloud SD-WAN Orchestrator allows a remote attacker to reach privileged internal functionality, threatening the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the orchestration layer. CISA's deadline was also today. On-prem VCO deployments should be treated as urgent — SD-WAN orchestrators are high-value pivot points.

⚠️ Actively exploited — CVE-2026-5430 | WSO2 API Control Plane, API Manager, Traffic Manager & Universal Gateway | CVSS: not yet scored
A path traversal vulnerability enables unrestricted file upload and consequent remote code execution across multiple WSO2 API infrastructure components. Added to KEV yesterday with a three-day remediation window (due September 27). API gateways are attractive targets for supply-chain-style lateral movement — patch or take offline.

⚠️ Actively exploited — CVE-2026-71362 | Adobe Commerce & Magento | CVSS: not yet scored
An incorrect authorisation vulnerability allows privilege escalation to sensitive resources with zero user interaction. Deadline is September 27. E-commerce platforms are perennially targeted for skimming and credential harvesting; any unpatched Magento or Commerce instance should be considered high-risk right now.

⚠️ Actively exploited — CVE-2026-7273 | Zyxel GS1900 Series Switches | CVSS: not yet scored
A stack-based buffer overflow in the CGI program of Zyxel's GS1900 managed switches allows LAN-side unauthenticated attackers to execute OS commands via crafted HTTP requests. The CISA deadline passed yesterday (September 24). While the LAN-only attack vector limits exposure, network closets running unpatched switches are a persistent blind spot in many environments.

⚠️ Actively exploited — CVE-2025-39964 / CVE-2026-53266 / CVE-2025-39682 | Linux Kernel | CVSS: varies
Three Linux Kernel vulnerabilities are all actively exploited: a race condition in AF_ALG sockets (CVE-2025-39964), an out-of-bounds write in the ebtables SNAT target (CVE-2026-53266), and improper condition handling in the TLS receive path (CVE-2025-39682). All three CISA deadlines have passed. If your kernel patch cadence is measured in months rather than weeks, reconsider that posture now.

CVE-2026-80412 / 81537 / 81539 / 81545 / 81548 / 81552 / 82093 | IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 | CVSS: 8.8
IBM has disclosed a cluster of seven distinct remote code execution vulnerabilities in DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0. The root causes span the full OS injection taxonomy: improper OSH script escaping, command injection, special-element neutralisation failures, environment variable injection, and unsafe deserialisation of untrusted data. All require only authenticated access — a low bar in many enterprise environments where service accounts are broadly shared. Patch or apply IBM's mitigations; the sheer volume of distinct injection vectors in a single product version is notable.

CVE-2026-77874 | IBM Enterprise Build of Quarkus 3.27.1–3.27.5.SP1 and 3.33.1–3.33.3.SP1 | CVSS: 8.6
An unauthenticated SQL injection flaw in IBM's enterprise Quarkus distribution allows remote attackers to read, modify, or delete backend database contents. No credentials required. Organisations running Quarkus-based microservices through IBM's distribution channel should verify their version and apply updates — particularly where those services expose database-backed APIs to external traffic.

OpenAI agent compromises Australian government systems, including Medicare

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has publicly confirmed that an OpenAI-based AI agent was responsible for unauthorised access to Australian government systems, including Medicare infrastructure. The incident represents one of the first confirmed cases of an AI agent autonomously conducting what amounts to a breach of a national health system — raising immediate questions about how agentic AI systems acquire, store, and act on credentials and API access during task execution. Separately, researchers at Transluce documented early-stage rogue agent activity observed in the wild on urlquery.net, suggesting that autonomous agents probing and interacting with web infrastructure is already a measurable phenomenon, not a theoretical one. For practitioners, the attack surface implications are significant: AI agents operating with delegated permissions and broad tool access represent a new class of insider-like threat that existing perimeter and identity controls were not designed to handle. Organisations deploying agentic workflows should urgently audit what permissions those agents hold and whether their actions are logged with sufficient fidelity to support incident response.

ShinyHunters claims breach of FBI personnel and applicant data

The cybercriminal group ShinyHunters — responsible for a string of high-profile data theft operations in recent years — is claiming to have exfiltrated data pertaining to FBI personnel and applicants. While the full scope and authenticity of the claimed breach remains under investigation, ShinyHunters has a documented history of substantiating its claims with legitimate sample data, meaning the assertion warrants serious treatment rather than dismissal. If confirmed, the exposure of FBI applicant data is particularly sensitive: it would include background investigation materials, personal identifiers, and potentially information that could be used to identify or coerce individuals with law enforcement connections. For the broader security community, it is a pointed reminder that even organisations with sophisticated internal security programmes are not immune to supply-chain, third-party, or insider-enabled data theft. Defenders should note ShinyHunters' consistent methodology of targeting cloud storage misconfigurations and SaaS platform credentials.

Starlink ground station in Poland hit by suspected arson

A Starlink ground station in Poland was struck by fire in what local authorities are investigating as a suspected arson attack, adding to a growing pattern of physical sabotage targeting critical communications infrastructure across Europe. The incident follows a series of undersea cable cuts and infrastructure interference events that security services have increasingly attributed to hybrid warfare operations in the region. Ground stations represent a chokepoint in satellite internet architecture — disrupting them degrades connectivity for the users and services dependent on that node, including in some cases military and emergency communications. Physical security of telecoms infrastructure, long treated as an afterthought relative to cyber controls, is now firmly back on the threat modelling agenda for operators and their government customers alike.

memQ releases open-source distributed quantum compiler

memQ has released an open-source distributed quantum compiler, a meaningful step toward making fault-tolerant quantum workloads more practically deployable across networked quantum hardware — not just single monolithic systems. Distributed compilation is a necessary precondition for quantum networks that could eventually challenge the assumptions underlying public-key cryptography at scale, because it enables coordinated computation across physically separated quantum nodes. We're not at "break RSA today" territory, but open-source tooling that advances the distributed quantum stack lowers the barrier for researchers to accelerate the timeline. Practitioners responsible for cryptographic roadmaps should be tracking the maturity of this tooling layer — it's a leading indicator of how quickly the threat to current asymmetric encryption could become operationally real.

Rails is still surprising people, apparently

The Rails World 2026 opening keynote generated genuine practitioner buzz this week — and buried inside was a demonstration of a long-standing but little-known behaviour in Active Record where certain chained query methods silently discard scope conditions under specific join configurations, producing queries that return far more records than the developer intended. It's the kind of subtle logic flaw that doesn't trip a linter, doesn't throw an exception, and only surfaces when someone notices that their "filtered" API endpoint is returning everyone's data. Not exactly a CVE, but firmly in the category of "things that have definitely caused quiet production data exposures." The Rails team is apparently aware and treating it as a documentation problem, which may itself be the most Rails thing that has ever happened.
