Marimo has addressed a high-severity security flaw in its notebook software that allowed an attacker to execute an attacker-supplied Model Context Protocol (MCP) command in a specially crafted notebook, according to VulnCheck’s CVE Numbering Authority (CNA) record.

The CNA record says the command can run as a local subprocess when the notebook is opened in edit mode.

The vulnerability, tracked

Thousands of companies have been affected by the Mirage2FA campaign from 2024 to 2026. The commercial phishing-as-a-service toolkit targets Microsoft 365 accounts by abusing legitimate login flows and bypassing two-factor authentication.

According to ANY.RUN research, 48% of targeted email addresses were potentially compromised. Most of the affected companies are US-based.

Mirage2FA Campaign

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a new campaign that uses a cluster of 24 npm packages as free phishing infrastructure for redirecting to ClickFix-style fake CAPTCHA pages.

“While the malware is simply a single HTML page inside the npm package, and while downloading it wouldn’t do harm, the threat actor’s use of npm isn’t to infect developers who install it, but to use the

Cybersecurity researchers are calling attention to a new campaign that employs FTP banners as dead drop resolvers (DDRs) to deliver two previously unreported remote access trojans (RATs) tracked as E4del and PINHOLE.

While threat actors are known to abuse legitimate services to point to additional command-and-control (C2) infrastructure and blend in with regular network traffic, the development

Vulnerability management has been a staple of security programs since the dawn of the cybersecurity discipline. The symbiotic relationship between vulnerability and patch management teams has also existed for that time and has gone through waves of contention and thankfulness. While this relationship required thoughtful care and feeding from both sides, both sides were aiming to work toward a

Bad actors are attempting to exploit two severe unauthenticated authentication bypasses in the Xecurify miniOrange SAML 2.0 Single Sign On plugin that make it possible for an attacker to sign in as any WordPress user, including administrators.

The vulnerabilities, as disclosed by Patchstack, are listed below –

CVE-2026-61979 (CVSS score: 8.1) – An unauthenticated privilege escalation

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Monday added a maximum-severity security flaw impacting Oracle HTTP Server and Oracle WebLogic Server to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, citing evidence of active exploitation.

The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-21962 (CVSS score: 10.0), allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to

A package gets installed. A login prompt opens. A box sits exposed to the internet. Nothing looks unusual yet.

That’s roughly the mood this week. Trusted tools turn hostile, old weak spots get fresh attention, AI makes exploit work cheaper, and researchers keep finding attacks that sound harder than they actually are.

Plenty to clean up. Here’s the short version.

U.S.

Cybersecurity researchers have flagged two new malware families called WordlistLoader and SynkLoader that’s used to deliver next-stage payloads and likely sell access to ransomware groups.

According to findings from Gen Digital, WordlistLoader is being used to deliver Amatera Stealer (aka ACR Stealer or AcridRain Stealer) via ClearFake campaigns, which employ the ClickFix (aka FakeCaptcha)

If your developers are using AI coding tools, you are probably already seeing the upside: faster development, more code, and less time spent on routine work.

The harder part is what comes after. AI can also introduce open-source packages at a pace your security team was never built to handle. More dependencies mean more vulnerabilities to review, more remediation work, and a backlog that can
