F5 Labs Sensor Intel (11 September 2026; BleepingComputer 14 September) reports a sustained August 2026 mass-scanning campaign against internet-exposed Vite development servers harvesting cloud credentials and IaC state. Activity is anchored on CVE-2026-39364, an unauthenticated server.fs.deny / file-read bypass via query parameters such as ?raw, ?import&raw, or ?import&url&inline on /@fs/ requests (GitHub advisory GHSA-v2wj-q39q-566r, published 6–7 April 2026). GitHub rates CVSS 4.0 8.2 (CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N); F5 also cites CVSS 7.5 High for the same CVE. Affected: Vite 7.1.0–7.3.1 and 8.0.0–8.0.4 (also vite-plus ≤0.1.15). Patched: 7.3.2, 8.0.5, and current patched lines on older branches per vendor. F5 honeypots saw ~807 session-grouped attacks and ~32,000 raw events in August, wordlisting .env files, AWS/Azure credential paths, Terraform/serverless state, and /proc environ; scanners also reused older Vite bypasses CVE-2025-30208, CVE-2025-31125 (CISA KEV), and CVE-2024-45811. Exposure usually comes from --host / server.host or Docker port maps (often 5173). Mitigations: upgrade; do not expose dev ports; block /@fs/; rotate secrets if an unpatched Vite was reachable. Primary: F5 Labs; vendor: GitHub advisory; secondary: BleepingComputer.
Wordfence CNA (CVE published 12 September 2026; disclosed 11 Sep; vendor notified 23 Aug) documents CVE-2026-78175 in Themeum Tutor LMS (WordPress e-learning plugin): authenticated subscriber+ PHP object injection via the withdraw_method_field parameter of the tutor_save_withdraw_account AJAX handler (CWE-502). The handler relies on a nonce only (no capability/role check) and passes attacker-controlled values through esc_sql() before update_user_meta(); on retrieve, unserialize() over-reads into attacker-controlled bytes, enabling arbitrary object injection. Wordfence describes a GuzzleHttp\Cookie\FileCookieJar POP chain via the plugin's bundled PayPal Composer autoloader (TUTOR\RestAPI spl_autoload_register), writing attacker-controlled content to an attacker-chosen filename — remote code execution on the web server. CVSS 3.1 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). Affected: all versions ≤ 4.0.7; unauthenticated pathway when user registration is enabled (common for student/teacher sign-up) and monetization is enabled. CISA ADP SSVC (15 Sep): Exploitation none / Automatable no / Technical Impact total. No in-the-wild exploitation claimed in the CNA. Patch: Tutor LMS 4.0.8 (wire reporting: Themeum release ~10 Sep 2026). Credits: Chloe Chamberland / Wordfence Argus. Primary: Wordfence threat-intel / CVE record; wire: Cyber Security News 18 Sep.
ExPatch (Denis and Aleksander Rostilov; writeup 12 September 2026; The Hacker News 14 September) detail a stored XSS in Telegram Desktop’s HTML chat export: inline-keyboard button text was written into export HTML without escaping (message body and names were escaped). A bot could hide a script in button text; forwarded link-button messages keep the payload; opening an old export in a browser runs the script and can exfiltrate that file’s messages/metadata or rewrite the page (fake verification form demo). No in-the-wild use claimed. Reported to Telegram 3 June 2026. Affected stable: 4.15.1 (March 2024) through 6.9.3. Fixed: 6.9.4 beta (3 July 2026), 7.0.1 stable (14 July 2026) and later. App update does not scrub previously exported HTML. No CVE assigned as of THN’s 14 September check. Primary: ExPatch; vendor: tdesktop 7.0.1; secondary: THN.

GitHub advisory GHSA-3c86-2m5g-59q7 (published 28 August 2026; CVE-2026-90553) covers vLLM before 0.28.0. The LlavaOnevision2 processor loader calls transformers.dynamic_module_utils.get_class_from_dynamic_module with trust_remote_code=..., but that helper has no such parameter — the flag is swallowed into **kwargs and ignored — so attacker-supplied processing_llava_onevision2.py / video_processing_llava_onevision2.py top-level code runs even when the operator set trust_remote_code=False. Because LlavaOnevision2ForConditionalGeneration is a built-in vLLM architecture, model config load does not refuse the path. NVD: CVSS 3.1 7.8 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) and CVSS 4.0 8.5 High. Patch to vLLM 0.28.0 or later. Category tech (LLM inference stack, not a model-vendor guidance item). No Australian exploitation reports on this pass. Primary: GitHub advisory; also NVD.

WebPros Plesk security articles (updated 10 September 2026) cover two Critical Backup Manager flaws on Plesk for Linux. CVE-2026-68487 is path traversal via an unsigned backup header that lets an authenticated customer write arbitrary root-owned files on the host (full server compromise). CVE-2026-68488 is a TOCTOU symlink race during subscription-content restore that can change ownership of directories outside the attacker’s subscription, likewise enabling root. Both carry CVSS 3.0 9.9 (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) per the HackerOne CNA records. Affected: Plesk for Linux 18.0.80.6 and earlier, and 18.0.79.10 and earlier; Plesk for Windows not affected. Fixed: 18.0.80.7 and 18.0.79.11 or later. No interim mitigation listed — update is the remediation. Multi-tenant / shared-hosting boxes with customer Panel+FTP are the highest priority. Wire: Cyber Security News (13 Sep) on 68488.

Gen Digital Threat Labs (Alexandru-Cristian Bardaș, published 10 September 2026) details CVE-2026-51990 in Sogou Input Method for Windows: a one-click remote code execution chain combining unvalidated command-line argument injection in the sgbiz: custom protocol handler, unrestricted URL navigation in a CEF webview, and an outdated unsandboxed Chromium/CEF build (libcef.dll reported as CEF 80.1.16 / Chromium 80.0.3987.163). Gen observed UNC3569 exploiting the flaw in the wild via a crafted link to deploy the GRAYRABBIT backdoor. The issue was reported to Tencent on 9 April 2026 and fixed in Sogou Input Method version 16.3.0.3498 (released 21 April 2026): the patch validates URL arguments accepted through the protocol handler, permits only HTTPS, and restricts navigation to approved Sogou/Tencent domains — Gen and BleepingComputer (13 Sep 2026) still note the embedded Chromium remains outdated and unsandboxed.

Wiz Research (10 September 2026) documents in-the-wild chaining of CVE-2026-42018 and CVE-2026-42016 against self-hosted JFrog Artifactory between 15 August and 8 September 2026, often dropping a custom Rust C2 backdoor. CVE-2026-42018 is an authentication flaw that can return an internal anonymous-user token to an unauthenticated requester even when anonymous access is disabled. Alone it is not admin; chained with CVE-2026-42016 (token scope / privilege escalation) Wiz saw unauthenticated requests become admin-scoped tokens, with follow-on admin account creation, malicious Groovy plugins, and Rust backdoors. Remediated builds per Wiz table include 7.111.20+, 7.117.28, 7.125.20, 7.133.29, 7.146.9+ (and Wiz’s broader “upgrade to 7.111.21 / 7.117.28 / 7.125.20 / 7.133.29 / 7.146.38 / 7.161.20 or later” guidance for the chain). Distinct from desk card cve-2026-82329 (also abused). Primary: Wiz; also JFrog advisories. UPDATE 11 September 2026: CISA added CVE-2026-42018 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog (dateAdded 2026-09-11; catalogVersion 2026.09.11). Prioritise patching self-hosted Artifactory under BOD 26-04-style exploited-first triage; hunt anonymous/admin tokens, Groovy plugins, and Rust C2 per Wiz.
Wiz Research (10 September 2026) says CVE-2026-42016 is a privilege-escalation flaw from insufficient token scope enforcement: Artifactory validates signature/issuer but not intended scope, so a low-privileged token (including the anonymous token from CVE-2026-42018) can be escalated. Wiz observed the 42018→42016 chain in the wild 15 August–8 September 2026 alongside separate abuse of CVE-2026-82329; post-exploitation included persistent admin users, malicious Groovy plugins, and Rust C2 backdoors. Wiz lists CVE-2026-42016 impacted prior to 7.133.11 with remediated 7.133.11; for the overall campaign they urge upgrading to 7.111.21 / 7.117.28 / 7.125.20 / 7.133.29 / 7.146.38 / 7.161.20 or later and reviewing auth/admin activity. Primary: Wiz; vendor: JFrog advisories. UPDATE 11 September 2026: CISA added CVE-2026-42016 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog (dateAdded 2026-09-11; catalogVersion 2026.09.11). Prioritise patching self-hosted Artifactory under BOD 26-04-style exploited-first triage; hunt anonymous/admin tokens, Groovy plugins, and Rust C2 per Wiz.
WatchGuard PSIRT CVE-2025-14733 is an out-of-bounds write in the Fireware OS iked process that can let a remote unauthenticated attacker execute code. It affects mobile-user VPN with IKEv2 and branch-office VPN using IKEv2 with a dynamic gateway peer; boxes that previously had those configs may still be vulnerable if a branch-office VPN to a static gateway peer remains. WatchGuard rates it CVSS 4.0 9.3 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N) and has observed in-the-wild exploitation, including config exfiltration variants. Fixed builds include Fireware OS 2025.1.4, 12.11.6, 12.5.15 and 12.3.1-b728352 (plus rotate locally stored secrets after confirmed compromise). CISA had already flagged active exploitation; BleepingComputer (10 September 2026) reports CISA now also confirms ransomware gangs are exploiting the same CVE. Shadowserver previously saw >115k exposed Fireboxes in December and nearly 9k still unpatched months later. Distinct from desk card watchguard-fireware-iked-20260827 (August 2026 five-critical advisory set). Primary: WatchGuard PSIRT; wire: BleepingComputer; KEV: CISA catalog for CVE-2025-14733.
