A suspected China-aligned threat activity cluster has been observed exploiting Roundcube webmail software belonging to physics and engineering departments of U.S. and Canadian universities as part of a new campaign.

The activity involves the exploitation of now-patched, critical security flaws in the open-source email solution, such as CVE-2024-42009 (CVSS score: 9.3), to siphon credentials,

Several versions of firmware released by Chinese network device manufacturer Tenda have been found to embed an undocumented authentication backdoor that enables administrative access to the devices’ web management interfaces, the CERT Coordination Center (CERT/CC) warned Monday.

“An attacker can exploit this vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-11405, to bypass the password verification process

BeyondTrust has released updates to address two critical security flaws affecting Remote Support (RS) and Privileged Remote Access (PRA) products that, if successfully exploited, could allow unauthenticated attackers to take control of susceptible devices.

The vulnerabilities are listed below –

CVE-2026-40138 (CVSS score: 9.2) – A pre-authentication vulnerability exists in the

An Iranian hacking group affiliated with Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) has been wielding a previously undocumented modular command-and-control (C2) framework dubbed Cavern (aka Cav3rn) targeting Israeli organizations.

The activity, which has primarily singled out IT providers and government sectors, has been attributed to a threat cluster tracked by Check Point Research

A use-after-free bug in Linux’s KVM hypervisor can be triggered from a guest virtual machine to corrupt the shadow-page state of the host kernel that runs it.

Dubbed ‘Januscape’ and tracked as CVE-2026-53359, the flaw sits in the shadow MMU code that KVM shares across both Intel and AMD. The public proof-of-concept panics the host; the researcher claims that a separate, unreleased exploit

Threat actors have been observed attempting to exploit a recently patched critical security flaw in Gitea Docker images, according to Sysdig.

The vulnerability in question is CVE-2026-20896 (CVSS score: 9.8), a vulnerability that stems from the DevOps platform trusting the “X-WEBAUTH-USER” header from any source IP address, effectively allowing an unauthenticated internet client to get elevated

A streaming box should not need a threat model. Neither should a username field, a demo repo, a reset flow, or a browser permission prompt. That is the irritating part this week: the risky pieces were ordinary.

Home devices became a routing cover. Clean code pulled dirt from a dependency. Identity shortcuts aged badly. AI systems trusted the wrong instructions. Same soft spot throughout: trust

Building a shortlist for an AI SOC evaluation can be tough. SIEM, SOAR, and pureplay AI SOC vendors are all saying the same thing. But behind the identical label sit very different products, from chat assistants bolted onto a legacy SIEM to agent platforms that run detection, triage, investigation, and response on their own data foundation.

Whether a platform will materially change outcomes for

A suspected China-nexus threat activity cluster has been observed targeting Indian taxpayers, tax professionals, and corporate finance teams to deliver a remote access trojan designed to steal sensitive data from compromised hosts.

The multi-stage campaign, codenamed Operation DragonReturn by Seqrite Labs, involves sending spear-phishing emails impersonating the Income Tax Department of India.

Researchers at Shandong University have shown a fast new way to pull data off computers that are cut off from every network. The technique, called TrojPix, tweaks on-screen pixels in ways the eye cannot see, so that the video cable carrying them radiates a faint radio signal a nearby receiver can decode.

But TrojPix works only once malware is already on the target machine, so it
