CVE-2026-6471 lets any account holding PostgreSQL's REPLICATION attribute load an arbitrary library as a logical decoding plugin and run code as the postgres user. It has been there since logical decoding shipped in 9.4 in 2014, and REPLICATION is the privilege every CDC pipeline in your estate already has.
CVE-2026-8452 was patched on 30 June with an advisory describing unpredictable behaviour and DoS. WatchTowr published proof it gives unauthenticated remote code execution, and attackers were dropping web shells within days. CISA added it to KEV on 26 August with a three-day deadline. The patch existed for two months.
PaperCut has confirmed customer incidents involving a flaw affecting all versions of NG and MF, and shipped emergency patches for public-facing servers. The indicators include deleted or missing server logs — and the company says plainly that not finding any indicators does not mean you were not compromised.
CVE-2026-21962 is a CVSS 10.0 flaw in Oracle's HTTP Server and WebLogic proxy plug-in. Oracle patched it on 20 January. Exploit code appeared on 22 January and a honeypot logged attacks the same day. CISA added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 24 August with a due date of 27 August — and under a directive nobody noticed replacing the old one, agencies now have to check whether they were already breached.
Broadcom shipped 91 vulnerability fixes for the Spring framework in one release, including a critical flaw in Spring Security's embedded LDAP server. The count went 22, then 16, then over 200. The jump is attributed to Broadcom putting AI on the problem, which is the same capability the attack stories run on, pointed the other way.
Nine vulnerabilities across Crosswork and Secure Workload, five of them scoring a maximum 10.0, including two separate authentication bypasses and a SQL injection. None are known to be exploited. All came out of Cisco's own internal review, which is the second such batch in a fortnight.
CVE-2026-19490 lets a remote unauthenticated attacker walk past authentication on NetScaler appliances configured as a gateway or AAA virtual server. Nothing has been seen in the wild. Rapid7's advice is to patch on an emergency basis anyway, and NetScaler's history is the argument.
watchTowr reproduced CVE-2026-19478 within minutes of disclosure and then saw it used against its own honeypots. Beyond deleting repositories, it lets an attacker fabricate merge records and ban maintainers — which means the log that says a security fix was applied can itself be the lie.
CVE-2026-32475 is a CVSS 9.0 in Elementor Pro's Forms module. Validation and file-moving run in separate loops that handle empty entries differently, so submitting two file parts for one field skips the extension blocklist entirely. All versions to 4.2.1 are affected; 4.2.2 fixes it.
CVE-2026-33824 is a double free in the Windows IKE Service Extensions, reachable by anyone who can send a UDP packet to port 500 or 4500. Microsoft fixed it in April without flagging exploitation. CISA added it to the exploited catalogue on 18 August and set a three-day patch deadline, which is not what that directive normally allows.
CVE-2026-19478 is a CVSS 9.4 in GitLab CE and EE: under certain conditions an unauthenticated user could modify or delete public projects and user data through a GraphQL directive. Patches landed on 17 August outside the normal release train. GitLab.com is already covered; self-hosted is not.
CVE-2026-64849 is an unauthenticated SSRF in MLflow's webhook test endpoint, CVSS 9.3, fixed in 3.15.0. The check on the destination was real; it just was not pinned, so a redirect or a second DNS answer walked straight past it into cloud metadata. watchTowr saw exploitation attempts the same day the CVE was assigned.
CVE-2026-69414 bypasses July's patch for RoguePlanet using a different technique entirely: a user-mode callback that swaps file contents mid-scan through the Cloud Filter API. Microsoft says a fix is coming. There is no patch, the proof of concept is public, and the only mitigation is turning off the thing doing the protecting.
CVE-2026-65400 bypasses credential validation on Apple's remote desktop service. The Dutch NCSC confirmed exploitation against internet-exposed Macs with port 5900 open, and what turned up was root access and a Monero miner.
The claim is everywhere and the argument behind it is good. The number is not a measurement. It comes from a single blog post in May 2026 describing a local experiment on React, and the industry statistics stacked around it come from different vendors counting different things.
CVE-2026-45659 was patched in May, flagged as exploited on 1 July with a three-day federal deadline, and marked as used in ransomware on 11 August. Of 8,500 SharePoint servers exposed online, 200-plus remain vulnerable.
The annotation feature opens a direct channel between viewers and the person sharing. A Security's 'Zoomsday' chain starts with a missing bound check in the text annotator and ends in remote code execution.
QUIRSO traced exploitation of CVE-2026-59310 across 47 countries, with victims first contacting attacker infrastructure on 3 August. The persistence mechanism is a cron job running an open-source reverse SSH tool.
Microsoft attributes StormEncryptor, a new C++ locker, to the China-linked group. Initial access was likely CVE-2026-18577 in N-able N-central, which is itself a bypass of the earlier fix. CISA has both flagged as exploited.
Unauthenticated SQL injection through the password-reset endpoint, every release from 1.58 onward affected, and confirmed victims already naming what was taken. It is tracked as a GitHub advisory, which means NVD-driven scanners will not see it.
