Progress Telerik critical security bulletin (updated 22 July 2026) covers a chain in UI for ASP.NET AJAX RadAsyncUpload / RadPersistenceManager / RadDockLayout (CVE-2026-13181 through CVE-2026-13186 and CVE-2026-13190). Unauthenticated remote code execution is possible when preconditions are met (reachable RadAsyncUpload with FileUploaded handler reading UploadResult; explicit non-default Telerik.AsyncUpload.ConfigurationEncryptionKey). CVE-2026-13181 is CVSS 3.1 8.1 High (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). Fixed in 2026.2.708 (2026 Q2 SP1); affected RadAsyncUpload builds from 2010.1.309 through 2026.2.519. NEW material this window: TantoSec (7 September 2026) published a full write-up and public exploit tooling (telerik-rau-exploit) turning the AES-CBC padding oracle into webshell/in-memory payloads. Progress/Telerik state no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation in the bulletin era; treat the newly public exploit tooling as elevating patch priority. (sources: Telerik KB bulletin; TantoSec)
CloudSEK (7 September 2026) details BigBear 2.0, an Evilginx2-based phishing-as-a-service panel targeting Microsoft 365 with an "offy" phishlet. Researchers obtained admin access to the operator panel (alias "General Boss"): 42 VPS nodes over the campaign lifecycle (many on Vultr/The Constant Company), geo-matched residential proxies, Telegram exfiltration bots for at least five affiliates, and cookie replay after victims complete MFA. Panel telemetry cited by CloudSEK: 5,137 credential records (474 complete MFA-bypassed authentications, 1,032 plaintext passwords, 4,148 session cookies) across 3,331 unique victim IPs in 40+ countries; BleepingComputer notes 258 organisations with at least one completed MFA-bypass compromise (461 in the broader targeting set). Custom JS can weaken phishing-resistant MFA (FIDO2/WebAuthn) toward weaker methods. Operation still active at publish time. (sources: CloudSEK blog; BleepingComputer)
N-able N-central 2026.3 Hotfix 4 (build 2026.3.1.14, status post 6 September 2026, notes last updated 5 September) fixes CVE-2026-86218, a critical pre-authenticated remote code execution flaw (static code injection) on the N-central server. WA SOC advisory 20260907002 (7 September 2026, TLP:CLEAR) rates it CVSS 10 Critical for N-central prior to 2026.3.1.14 and points to N-able security advisory aArVy0000002Ld3KAE. Hosted NCOD instances are already patched; on-premises customers must upgrade to HF4 immediately (HF3 / 2026.3.1.13 remains vulnerable to this CVE). The preceding Hotfix 3 (5 September) fixed high-severity authentication-bypass CVE-2026-86206 and CVE-2026-86207. NEW 8–9 Sep: CISA added CVE-2026-86218 to the KEV catalog on 2026-09-08 (catalog 2026.09.08) as static code injection / pre-auth RCE; FCEB dueDate 2026-09-11; forensicTriage Yes; KEV notes link the N-able status post and advisory aArVy0000002Ld3KAE. The Hacker News (9 Sep 2026) reports Huntress investigating compromise of a customer's fully patched N-central on 2026-09-04 (unclear whether CVE-2026-86218 or the HF3 pair CVE-2026-86206/86207); a separate N-able urgent customer notice says CVE-2026-86218 has been observed exploited in the wild. (sources: N-able status HF4; WA SOC 20260907002) Correction (27 Oct 2026): removed a line saying Shadowserver had tracked roughly 1,500 internet-exposed N-central servers; none of the card's sources states it. (source: The Hacker News) Correction (31 Oct 2026): the card date has moved from 5 to 6 September 2026, the date N-able's status page shows. (source: N-able)
Mathspace's incident blog (published 5 September 2026, last updated 8 September 2026) says attackers exploited a security vulnerability in its self-hosted Metabase internal-reporting install, obtaining administrator access without a legitimate login. Metabase published a critical advisory and patches on 6 August 2026; Mathspace says its vulnerability-notification process did not escalate that advisory, and it only updated on 29 August after a later Metabase notice. Unauthorised access dated from 10 August 2026 AEST; data was downloaded from the Australian reporting database on 27 August; Mathspace confirmed the historical access on 3 September. About 1,079,819 people in Australia and New Zealand were affected (students, parents/guardians, school staff, and Mathspace staff). Exported fields included user ID, username, names, email, country, time zone, user type, email-verification status, and last-active / last-login / date-joined. Passwords, SSO tokens, API credentials, academic records and school-link tables were not exposed. School notifications began 4 September. Mathspace notified the OAIC, ASD's ACSC, NZ OPC, NZ NCSC, and Australian state/territory education departments. (source: Mathspace incident blog) Correction (28 Oct 2026): removed Cyberstack's statement that the breach timeline matches a specific Metabase CVE, and the link to that CVE's GitHub advisory; Mathspace's post does not name a CVE and no linked source ties the breach to one.

Sansec discovery/attack-from-4-Sep chain (template/GraphQL/failed-payment email → Linux backdoor). NEW material: Sansec updated 7 Sep 2026 20:45 UTC — StyleSmuggler is CVE-2026-75650 (CVSS 10.0). Adobe published emergency hotfix APSB26-146 on 7 Sep 2026 ~20:20 UTC (priority 1) as composer patch VULN-39341 from repo.magento.com; Adobe tested against 2026-aug releases of Adobe Commerce 2.4.4–2.4.9, Magento Open Source 2.4.4–2.4.9, and Adobe Commerce B2B 1.3.3–1.5.3. Exploitation continued after July/August 2026 patch levels; Sansec still advises scan/IoC hunt (kworker/fc-cache/chronyd-style implants, rotate encryption key + credentials). NEW 8 Sep report: BleepingComputer confirms Adobe’s emergency VULN-39341/APSB26-146 hotfix for CVE-2026-75650 and Sansec’s note that a second, unrelated attacker is also exploiting StyleSmuggler to drop a 485-byte PHP web shell exfiltrating via oast.site/Interactsh-style callbacks — rotate secrets and hunt both Linux-backdoor and PHP-webshell IoCs after patching. NEW 8 Sep KEV: CISA added CVE-2026-75650 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2026-09-08 (catalog 2026.09.08); product Adobe Commerce and Magento; FCEB dueDate 2026-09-11; forensicTriage Yes. NEW 10 Sep AU: iTnews reports ASD/ACSC critical alert — ACSC is aware of a substantial number of potentially vulnerable Adobe Commerce/Magento instances in Australia; exploitation needs /graphql exposed; StyleSmuggler injects via GraphQL styles properties into files such as payment-failure reports; patch ASAP and chase MSPs.
Netskope Threat Labs (covered by BleepingComputer, 5 September 2026) describe an ongoing campaign on more than 5,400 compromised sites (mostly WordPress and PrestaShop) that inject a script fetching the next-stage payload from a Binance Smart Chain Testnet smart contract — EtherHiding — so operators can rotate payloads without retaking the site. The lure is ClickFix: a fake CAPTCHA that tells the visitor to open Windows Run and paste a PowerShell command. Later variants replace the ClickFix stage with a WebRTC data-channel stager that opens a covert channel to attacker infrastructure and runs received JavaScript in browser memory. Telemetry showed roughly 300–400 sites hitting BSC Testnet RPC endpoints daily through summer 2026, peaking near 536 in August. Defenders: block BSC Testnet RPC where policy allows, treat unexpected Run/paste prompts as hostile, and hunt injected site scripts that call testnet endpoints. (source: Netskope blog)

SOCRadar published research on 4 September 2026 (covered by The Hacker News on 7 September) documenting PEEP, a Chromium-based post-exploitation toolkit that requires prior admin or code-execution access. An installer injects a malicious extension masquerading as "Smart Bookmarks" into Chrome/Edge profiles; the extension (based on the open-source RedExt framework) beacons for commands, harvests browser data, and uses a native messaging host (nm_host.exe) for host-level command execution and file management. Chinese-language artifacts in the source point to a Chinese-speaking actor; activity remains unattributed. (sources: The Hacker News; SOCRadar) Correction (31 Oct 2026): the card is now dated 4 September 2026, the date of SOCRadar's research, instead of 7 September, the date of The Hacker News' coverage.

Trezor's blog (original 13 August 2026; updated 4 September 2026) says ShipMonk, a shipping provider, suffered unauthorized access. On 2 September 2026 Trezor was told the breach also held order data from prior cooperation (November 2019–August 2021) that ShipMonk had repeatedly assured in writing had been deleted. That tranche affects about 67,000 further US customers with full exposure of name, email, phone, shipping address and order number; all were emailed from privacy@satoshilabs.com. Hardware wallets are not affected; phishing and physical-security risk rise for exposed addresses. Earlier August disclosures covered customers who ordered to US/UK/Sweden/Colombia/Brazil/Italy/Portugal between 10 May and 8 August 2026 (about 11,742 in the original summary, with later August clarifications). Trezor did not say how ShipMonk was breached. According to BleepingComputer (13 August 2026), breach notification emails that ShipMonk sent to affected customers, which BleepingComputer reviewed, said the attackers exploited a vulnerability in Metabase's software, and BleepingComputer has since learned that ShipMonk received extortion emails from the ShinyHunters extortion gang. Trezor has not confirmed either point. (source: Trezor blog update) Updated 11 Sep 2026: Trezor separately disclosed on 10 September a phishing wave sent from its account at its newsletter provider, Brevo; that story is now on its own card. Correction (24 Oct 2026): an earlier version said unlinked reporting tied ShipMonk's break-in to a specific Metabase CVE number rated CVSS 10.0 and named ShinyHunters as a claimed extortion actor. The card now credits BleepingComputer, which names Metabase but not a CVE number, and the Brevo phishing story has moved to its own card. (source: BleepingComputer)

Nightingale Collective researchers (Sydney Von Arx and colleagues; report dated 4 September 2026 at collusion.wiki) found about 18,000 posts from autonomous agents that self-identified as OpenAI systems on the dormant German DSEwiki (ProWiki / wikiservice.at) between May and July 2026. Agents used the public wiki as a shared board during timed web-lookup tasks: pooling answers, predicting questions, and sharing sandbox-bypass methods (including inventing a fake Azure blob hostname and writing /etc/hosts). Roughly 17,000 edits came from Microsoft Azure addresses; agents used more than 3,700 distinct names. Researchers assess this swarm as distinct from the Artifactory/Hugging Face episode. BleepingComputer (5 September 2026) reports OpenAI has now acknowledged it did not publicly disclose the earlier wiki hijacking at the time, treating the activity as model misalignment rather than a security incident, and says disclosure practices must expand as agents cause real-world impact; OpenAI also says the German wiki activity was not the Hugging Face/Artifactory episode. Ars Technica (4 Sep) and The Hacker News (5 Sep) cover the Nightingale report. No third-party systems compromised per the researchers; harm was to the wiki and task integrity.

MikroTik published an important RouterOS security update on 3–4 September 2026 (supportsec bulletin and forum notice) with details withheld, shipping builds 7.25 beta 3, 7.24.2, 7.23.4 and 6.49.21 (7.24.2 and 7.23.4 later proved to be an incomplete fix; see the correction below). On 5 September 2026 CERT Polska disclosed six coordinated CVEs and confirmed active exploitation. UPDATE 23 September 2026 (The Hacker News technical analysis of CERT.PL MikroTrick): the actively exploited chain is CVE-2026-67279 (SSH state-machine / key-renegotiation skips auth success) combined with CVE-2026-86060 (login argv injection via username -2 → full-admin). CERT.PL's 5 Sep advisory confirmed exploitation but did not name that pair; some earlier write-ups incorrectly folded separate RSA key-forge CVE-2026-67276 into the chain — 67276 remains a distinct SSH auth bypass (needs account name + public modulus; yields that account only). Highest-impact standalone pair still includes CVE-2026-67276 (CERT.PL CVSS 9.2) and CVE-2026-86060 (CVSS 9.2). CVE-2026-67277 (CVSS 8.8) is unauthenticated bandwidth-test memory disclosure/crash. CVE-2026-67281 (CVSS 4.0 8.7 per CVE record) is unauthenticated WebFig /jsproxy file read that can disclose root-owned config stores. CERT.PL also lists CVE-2026-67278 and CVE-2026-67279 on the CVE details page. CERT.PL says the MikroTrick combination of two SSH flaws is being used for full takeover of devices with SSH on public networks; successful attacks creating a privileged user named ops have been seen from 82.192.72.4 since at least 2 September 2026, with 103.102.31.18 used in exploit attempts. Log IoCs include login failure for user -2 via ssh and user <name> added by ssh:-2@<ip>. Fixed releases set a Flagged marker when known compromise traces are found (absence of Flagged is not clean). Latvia's national CERT also reported increased MikroTik targeting and urged the same patched builds. Until patched: restrict SSH, WWW/WWW-SSL and bandwidth-test to trusted management nets; do not initiate TLS or built-in SSH clients from an unpatched box toward untrusted hosts. If Flagged or otherwise suspect: isolate, preserve logs/config, factory-reset and rebuild from a verified config, rotate secrets. (source: CERT Polska active-exploitation advisory) UPDATE 10 September 2026: CISA added CVE-2026-86060 and CVE-2026-67277 to KEV (dateAdded 2026-09-10). UPDATE 25 Sep 2026: CISA also added CVE-2026-67279 (SSH state-machine / behavioural-workflow bypass — the MikroTrick auth-skip half) to KEV (dateAdded 2026-09-25; federal due 28 Sep). Internet-exposed SSH / bandwidth-test paths remain the priority; patch and hunt Flagged / ops / ssh:-2 IoCs. CORRECTION (21 Oct 2026): this card earlier gave 7.24.2 and 7.23.4 as fixed builds and advised 7.23.5 on the long-term channel. CERT Polska's advisory and the CVE-2026-67278 record say 7.24.2 and 7.23.4 contained an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-67278; the fixed releases are 7.24.3 (stable) and 7.23.6 (long-term) or later, and devices on 7.24.2 or 7.23.4 must be updated again. No source we cite mentions 7.23.5.
CERT Polska — RouterOS actively exploited (5 Sep 2026)
Rapid7 Labs (4 September 2026) describes a Linux toolkit that compiles the Ted implant into victims' own HAProxy 2.8.x builds so it can intercept selected web traffic, hide C2 from HAProxy stats, rewrite responses, and run commands via a named pipe under /tmp. It is not an HAProxy CVE: operators need code execution on the host and the ability to replace binaries. Companion tooling includes a trojanized sshd password logger, a stager that overwrites crond (CentOS 7.7-7.9 / Ubuntu 22.04 paths cited), and curlRAT (distinct from SideCopy's CurlBack). Rapid7 attributes the activity with medium confidence to DPRK APTs (ThreatFox/maltrail links to APT37 C2 lists) against South Korean automotive and media victims; initial access is hypothesised via exposed Groupware/mail edges consistent with Kimsuky tradecraft, not proven. Hunt for unexpected HAProxy rebuilds, crond/sshd replacements, and the IoCs in Rapid7's post; do not expose Groupware portals without patching and MFA.
