CISA adds exploited Ivanti Connect Secure auth bypass zero-day CVE-2026-104935 to KEV
CVE-2026-104935
CISA added actively exploited Ivanti Connect Secure zero-day CVE-2026-104935, an authentication bypass allowing remote unauthenticated command execution, to its KEV catalog.- Affects Ivanti Connect Secure versions 25.1.1.1 and prior, 25.1.2.2 and prior, and 22.8R2.4 and prior; fixed in 25.1.3.0.
- High-severity (CVSS 8.6) authentication bypass by spoofing (CWE-290) allowing remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands.
- Exploited as a zero-day before disclosure; attackers use it for credential theft and data exfiltration.
- CISA added it to the KEV Catalog on Oct 13, 2026, with federal patching due Oct 16, 2026.
- Volexity reports the threat actor also chained an as-yet unpatched privilege escalation vulnerability; commands execute in memory, so Ivanti's Integrity Checker Tool may miss exploitation.
CISA adds actively exploited Chrome V8 zero-day CVE-2026-85046 to KEV catalog
CVE-2026-85046
CISA has added actively exploited Chrome V8 type confusion zero-day CVE-2026-85046 to its KEV catalog.- Affects Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.82 and all Chromium-based browsers including Microsoft Edge and Opera
- V8 type confusion (CWE-843, CVSS 8.8) in Maglev/Turbofan inline Array.prototype.sort allows arbitrary code execution inside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page
- Exploitation requires user interaction, e.g. visiting a malicious or compromised page; Google confirmed exploitation in the wild but published no IOCs
- Fixed in Chrome 152.0.7977.82/.83 (Windows/macOS) and 152.0.7977.82 (Linux), released September 3, 2026; KEV patch deadline is 2026-09-18
- Reported by Salvatore Gulizia (Serotav); it is Chrome's sixth exploited zero-day of 2026
CISA adds exploited Chrome V8 zero-day CVE-2026-87491 to KEV catalog
CVE-2026-87491
CISA has added CVE-2026-87491, an actively exploited out-of-bounds write zero-day in Google Chrome's V8 engine, to its KEV catalog.- Affects Google Chrome versions prior to 153.0.8010.36 on Windows, macOS, and Linux, plus Chromium-based browsers like Microsoft Edge and Opera that embed the vulnerable V8 engine.
- The flaw (CWE-787, out-of-bounds write in V8) lets a remote attacker execute arbitrary code inside the browser sandbox via a crafted HTML page; CVSS 8.8.
- Exploitation requires no authentication β victims are lured via phishing links, compromised sites, or malicious ads into loading attacker-controlled JavaScript.
- Multiple China-linked actors (TA412/APT31, UTA0560, UNK_LateNight, UNK_DoubleCheck, UNK_QuietRacket, Violet Typhoon) have used a shared exploit kit called BlueMoon, chaining CVE-2026-85046, CVE-2026-87491, and Windows kernel zero-day CVE-2026-85880 for sandbox escape and privilege escalation.
- BlueMoon attacks since August 28, 2026 have targeted NGOs, aerospace/defense, mining, manufacturing, government, and finance in the US, China, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, and Hong Kong, delivering GRIMWEDGE, SUPERSTOMP, ShadowPad, and Rust-based loaders; CISA remediation deadline is September 23, 2026.
Citrix NetScaler zero-days CVE-2026-88771/88772 exploited; SAML flaw CVE-2026-88779 disclosed
CVE-2026-88771CVE-2026-88772CVE-2026-88779
Citrix confirmed and patched two actively exploited zero-day RCE vulnerabilities in NetScaler ADC and Gateway, with a third exploited SAML denial-of-service flaw disclosed days later.- Applies to customer-managed Citrix NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway appliances; roughly 40,000-50,000 instances were internet-exposed at disclosure.
- CVE-2026-88771 (unauthenticated RCE, CVSS 9.5) and CVE-2026-88772 (DTLS pre-auth memory overflow, RCE or DoS) were exploited in the wild before disclosure; Citrix patched both in bulletin CTX697096 on September 27, 2026.
- CVE-2026-88779, a buffer overflow affecting SAML SP or IdP configurations (config contains add authentication samlAction or add authentication samlIdPProfile), causes DoS, is exploited in targeted attacks, and requires newer fixed builds (14.1-73.41, 13.1-64.28) than the September patches.
- Exploitation of CVE-2026-88772 began by early September 2026, hitting government, financial services, education, and legal/professional services organizations in North America and Europe; custom malware WHIPSHOT (PHP webshell) and SLAPSHOT (Python tunneler) were deployed with lateral movement and data exfiltration observed.
- The incident was dubbed "PitScaler"; researchers at watchTowr and Kevin Beaumont confirmed the flaws, and CISA added all three CVEs to its KEV catalog.

CVE-2026-75650
A maximum-severity unauthenticated remote code execution zero-day in Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source, dubbed StyleSmuggler, has been actively exploited since September 4, 2026, three days before Adobe released a hotfix.- Affects Adobe Commerce 2.4.4β2.4.9, Adobe Commerce B2B 1.3.3β1.5.3, and Magento Open Source 2.4.6β2.4.9; CVSS 10.0, added to CISA's KEV catalog.
- Exploitation grants unauthenticated attackers arbitrary code execution; active attacks began September 4, 2026, with multiple victim stores confirmed across campaigns.
- Attackers inject PHP code via style properties in Magento's template engine; the code executes when a 'Payment Transaction Failed Reminder' transactional email renders, with no authentication required.
- A Rust backdoor implant is installed at ~/.local/share/.gvfsd/gvfsd-user, masquerading as [kworker/u:8:0], fc-cache, or chronyd, with cron-based persistence and x86-64/arm64 support.
- C2 traffic is disguised as NTP: UDP port 123 beacons to 99.84.67.186 and 185.157.160.251 (ntp.timesync.to and related domains); Adobe hotfix VULN-39341 shipped September 7 via APSB26-146.
