Background for this topic.
A flaw is a defect in software, hardware, system design, or configuration that causes unintended behavior. In security reporting, the term usually means a weakness that could violate confidentiality, integrity, or availability when reached through a particular interface, input, privilege, or operating condition. Not every flaw is exploitable, and exploitability depends on factors such as exposure, authentication requirements, affected versions, and available mitigations.
Flaws matter because they can create attack paths in applications, operating systems, devices, APIs, or administrative settings. Security teams assess their severity and exposure, prioritize remediation, apply patches or configuration changes, and use isolation or access controls when immediate fixes are unavailable. Code review, testing, vulnerability scanning, and monitoring can reveal flaws across the development and operational lifecycle. Reports should distinguish a confirmed vulnerability from a theoretical defect and provide enough technical detail to support validation without unnecessarily enabling exploitation.
Splunk has released security updates to address a critical security flaw in Splunk Enterprise that could be exploited to conduct unauthenticated file operations and even remote code execution
U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) adds Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) added Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-35273 (CVSS score of 9.8), to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools is the underlying technology platform […]
U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) adds Ivanti Sentry flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) added Ivanti Sentry flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-10520 (CVSS score of 10.0), to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. Ivanti Sentry is a secure gateway appliance that sits between an organization’s internal […]
Oracle still hasn't patched the vulnerability the group has been using in its attacks since late May. The post ShinyHunters is actively extorting universities after exploiting an unpatched Oracle flaw appeared first on CyberScoop.
And it was Microsoft Copilot that unwittingly revealed the longstanding vulnerability
And it was Microsoft Copilot that unwittingly revealed the longstanding vulnerability
ShinyHunters exploited a critical Oracle PeopleSoft zero-day to breach over 100 organizations, mostly universities, before a patch was available. Mandiant and Google’s Threat Intelligence Group published an analysis of an active ShinyHunters campaign on June 11, one day after Oracle finally issued an advisory for the vulnerability being exploited. The gap matters: the activity ran […]
Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of three now-patched security flaws impacting LangGraph, including a critical vulnerability chain that could result in remote code execution
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) ordered government agencies to patch an actively exploited Ivanti Sentry flaw within three days, as mandated by the newly issued Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 26-04. [...]
The ShinyHunters extortion crew exploited an unpatched flaw in Oracle PeopleSoft to break into enterprise systems, steal data, and demand payment to keep it private. The campaign hit universities hardest
Oracle is warning about a critical PeopleSoft Suite zero-day vulnerability tracked as CVE-2026-35273 that allows unauthenticated remote code execution, with the flaw actively exploited in ShinyHunter data theft attacks. [...]
Initial methods suggest attackers had likely mapped out Ivanti's asset landscape upfront and acted quickly once the exploit became public.
Also: Zcash Patches Flaw, $32M Humanity Protocol HackThis week, a key player in a $97M laundering scheme got prison time, Humanity Protocol suffered $32M in losses, Zcash patched a flaw, the EU targeted crypto platforms tied to Russia, authorities froze $3.8M in illicit funds and researchers exposed a Trezor chip weakness.
Attackers are exploiting the critical CVE-2026-10520 flaw in Ivanti Sentry, compromising many internet-exposed gateways shortly after patches were released. Threat actors have started exploiting a maximum-severity OS command injection flaw in Ivanti Sentry, tracked as CVE-2026-10520, that allows remote code execution with root privileges. “An OS Command Injection vulnerability in Ivanti Sentry before the R10.5.2, R10.6.2 and R10.7.1 versions allows a remote […]

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) announced a new Binding Operational Directive, 26-04, that prioritizes security updates for Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies. [...]
Fortinet patched a critical FortiSandbox vulnerability that could let unauthenticated attackers remotely execute commands via crafted HTTP requests. Fortinet released security updates to address several vulnerabilities affecting FortiSandbox, FortiOS, FortiProxy, and FortiPortal. The most severe issue, tracked as CVE-2026-25089 (CVSS score of 9.8), is an OS command injection flaw in FortiSandbox products. The vulnerability could […]
Attackers are now targeting a recently patched maximum-severity flaw in Ivanti Sentry, enabling them to execute code with root privileges on Internet-exposed secure mobile gateways. [...]
Attackers are actively exploiting CVE-2026-5027, a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in the AI development platform Langflow, to write arbitrary files on exposed servers. [...]
The new directive gives federal agencies three days to fix the most dangerous flaws, while less severe issues can be deferred.
