Critical pre-boot RCE in EDK2 PXE driver affects most server UEFI

A pre-boot RCE in EDK2's PXE driver threatens most servers worldwide, CISA adds Adobe Commerce flaw to KEV, and Magecart skimmers hit Brazilian e-commerce.

๐Ÿšจ ACTIVE EXPLOITATION

  • CISA adds exploited Adobe Commerce file-upload flaw CVE-2026-48356 to KEV catalog CVE-2026-48356
    CISA has added CVE-2026-48356, a critical unrestricted file upload flaw in Adobe Commerce and Magento, to its KEV catalog with a due date of 2026-11-10.
    • Affects Adobe Commerce 2.4.4โ€“2.4.9, Adobe Commerce B2B 1.3.3โ€“1.5.3, Magento Open Source 2.4.6โ€“2.4.9, and Adobe I/O Events for Commerce
    • Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type (CWE-434), CVSS 9.6, allows arbitrary code execution and privilege escalation without authentication
    • Exploitation requires user interaction: a victim visits a crafted URL or compromised page, letting uploaded script run in an authenticated user's context and reach admin sessions and back-end APIs
    • IOCs include executable files (.php, .phtml, .phar, .js, .html) under pub/media/ or pub/static/ and POSTs to upload endpoints followed by GETs of uploaded artifacts
    • Fixes shipped in Adobe advisory APSB26-73 (July 14, 2026); Adobe reports no exploits in the wild

๐Ÿ’ฅ BREACHES & INCIDENTS

  • Hackers hijack Convertr analytics script to steal payment card data at checkout
    A Magecart group compromised Convertr's self-hosted Plausible analytics script to skim payment card data from Brazilian e-commerce checkout pages.
    • Affects shoppers on Brazilian online stores using the Convertr e-commerce platform, which powers dozens of major fashion brands handling ~R$2 billion ($370M) in sales
    • Attackers injected a skimmer into the Plausible analytics tracker hosted on Convertr's own servers, loading on all merchants' checkout pages since October 24
    • Stolen data: card number, expiration date, CVV, cardholder name, and CPF taxpayer ID
    • Sansec suspects initial access via CVE-2026-8467, an unauthenticated command-execution flaw in Convertr's outdated Plausible Community Edition; the gang, active since July 2024, also targets Magento, OpenCart, and WooCommerce stores
    • A refined skimmer version pushed October 26 targets Convertr's exact payment API field names; Convertr has since removed the skimmer and patched Plausible

๐Ÿ•ต๏ธ RESEARCH & DEEP DIVES

  • SBOMs alone can't reveal scope of a supply chain attack, Shai-Hulud incident shows
    An Atlassian product security manager used a real Shai-Hulud worm incident to show SBOMs alone can't scope supply chain compromises without runtime visibility.
    • Applies to organizations relying on SBOMs and dependency inventories for software supply chain incident response, especially large SaaS environments.
    • A malicious transitive dependency named shai-hulud hid three layers deep in a legitimate-looking package with a matching SHA hash and 3,400+ GitHub stars, evading top-level dependency audits.
    • The environment's SBOM was two development sprints out of date and reported the environment as clean, while responders couldn't tell which services used the package.
    • Without runtime telemetry, responders manually correlated logs across more than 400 services and couldn't establish how far the compromise spread; attribution efforts hit dead ends due to fabricated publisher identities.
    • Some later Shai-Hulud attacks have been attributed to a threat actor tracked as TeamPCP.

๐Ÿ“‹ ADVISORIES

  • Critical pre-boot RCE flaw in EDK2 PXE driver (CVE-2026-97631) affects most server UEFI firmware
    A critical buffer overflow in TianoCore EDK2's PXE network driver allows unauthenticated attackers to execute code before the OS loads.

    • Affects EDK2-based UEFI firmware used by virtually all server vendors and cloud providers, including builds from AMI, Insyde, Phoenix, and Microsoft's Project Mu; EDK II master as of 2026-09-14 is affected and not yet patched.
    • CVE-2026-97631 (CVSS 9.5) is a 16-year-old buffer overflow in the PXE Base Code driver (NetworkPkg/UefiPxeBcDxe) that copies oversized ICMP error messages past a fixed 504-byte field in both IPv4 and IPv6 handlers.
    • During PXE boot, an unauthenticated attacker anywhere on the network can send a unicast ICMP error message to the client's IP to corrupt DXE-phase memory and execute ring-0 code before Secure Boot or measured boot verifies anything.
    • Exploitation can hang the boot (denial of OS provisioning) or, if the attacker knows the firmware build, plant a counterfeit event that dispatches attacker-supplied code via CoreSignalEvent().
    • The flaw was found by Alex Matrosov (Anthropic) and Dan Holmes (Google); a premature AMI pull request forced early public disclosure, and payloads run only once with no persistence.
