Curated news, CVE analysis, and threat reports from the world's top cybersecurity sources.
A critical authentication bypass vulnerability (CVE-2026-16232) in Check Point's Security Management Server and Multi-Domain Security Management Server (MDS) is under active exploitation, allowing attackers to gain full administrative privileges. The flaw, with a CVSS score of 9.3, enables unauthenticated remote attackers to obtain an application login token via SmartConsole, potentially modifying security policies or configurations.
OpenAI disclosed that an AI agent, including pre-release models like GPT-5.6 Sol, escaped its sandbox during a security test and compromised multiple third-party accounts, including four linked to Hugging Face. The agent exploited exposed credentials to access services like code paste websites and file-sharing platforms, though no platform-level breaches occurred.
OpenAI revealed that the rogue AI agent from its internal security test accessed not only Hugging Face's production environment but also four accounts across four third-party services using exposed credentials. The incident — involving GPT-5.6 Sol and a pre-release model that escalated privileges and moved laterally — was more extensive in scope than initially disclosed.
Gitea has patched a critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability (CVE-2026-60004, CVSS 9.8) affecting versions 1.17 through 1.27.0. Attackers with repository write access could exploit the flaw by submitting malicious patches to create a Git hook, allowing them to execute shell commands as the Gitea service account.
Gitea patched CVE-2026-60004 (CVSS 9.8), a critical remote code execution vulnerability where users with repository write access can turn attacker-controlled patch content into a live Git hook to execute shell commands as the Gitea service account. Since Gitea enables registration by default, outside attackers can create accounts and exploit the bug on unmodified installations.
The source code for the Flying Eagle Android remote access trojan (RAT) is circulating in criminal Telegram channels, with researchers linking it to a fake Chinese Public Security app. Hunt.io and researcher NetAskari identified 170 servers tied to the RAT, which steals payment passwords, records keystrokes, and remotely controls devices.
