Critical Linux kernel flaw allows remote root attacks on MPTCP servers

CVE-2026-98432 is a use-after-free race condition in the Linux kernel IPv4 TCP code (tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock, ireq_opt), affecting kernels back to 4.4 and rated 9.8 by the kernel CVE team (Red Hat rates it 5.9). Anthropic researchers say an unreleased Claude model built an exploit that bypassed KASLR and got remote root on an MPTCP listener in about 53 minutes. The article lists distro patch status and CIQ's nftables mitigation for IP options; disabling MPTCP alone does not help. No in-the-wild exploitation is reported.

4 real? Tracking exploitation and patching of eMudhra’s weak keys

Cloudflare's follow-up on eMudhra's eight trivially recoverable intermediate CA keys (such as 4, 56 and 66), disclosed 19 October 2026. Pingora logging showed about 22,000 handshakes with the weak keys, including about 160 forged certificates made within hours of disclosure. Probes on 50 million challenge pages show many bots, old browsers and Android WebView still trust the chain.

Ghost in the PHP2Shell: Why coordinated disclosure and patching will start moving faster

Aikido's analysis of the PHP2Shell disclosures (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619), published October 2026. It covers the timeline: the CVE IDs leaked on 20 October, PHP moved its release to 21 October, and Amazon reports exploitation attempts from 17 October. It cites Censys data (32.5 million services still affected on 27 October) and argues that AI-driven discovery and exploit building call for shorter embargoes and faster patching.

MalwareTech thread arguing that many public "php2shell" exploits for CVE-2026-109618/CVE-2026-109619 are LLM hallucinations. The code shown is PHP session poisoning used to exploit local file inclusion in PHP apps, not a PHP vulnerability. It shares only the PHP_SESSION_UPLOAD_PROGRESS feature with the CVEs. Honeypot traffic shows non-working attempts, and AI-assisted triage wrongly confirmed mass exploitation. The real bug works only on a few PHP versions with specific configurations. Mitigation is setting session.upload_progress.enabled to Off.

AWS Security Agent (now part of AWS Continuum) exploited 33 of 37 new real-world CVEs

AWS reports results for its autonomous pentesting agent, AWS Security Agent (now part of AWS Continuum), on an internal CTF-style benchmark of 37 recent 2025–2026 CVEs. Each CVE ran as a live docker-compose target with a hidden flag, and the agent started from an endpoint and a one-line hint with runtime CVE lookup disabled. It captured 35 flags, 33 (89.2%) through the intended vulnerability after an audit against canonical PoCs. The post describes the 7-stage pipeline (crawler, specialist agents, validator, exploitation agent, flag check, audit), three exploit walkthroughs (CMS upload-to-admin chain, AI workflow builder RCE, tRPC full-read SSRF), the two audit reclassifications caused by benchmark bugs, and two misses where the agent took the target down. It also argues that saturated public benchmarks like CVE-Bench and XBOW are contaminated.

An AI agent re-scored 9,967 high-severity findings from two commercial cloud security platforms across eight production environments and changed severity on 75.1% (58.5% downgraded, 16.6% upgraded). The cause is that 599 vendor rules each carry one fixed severity regardless of environment, and 49% of verdicts needed context beyond the flagged resource. Caveats: 92% of findings were AWS, and the study did not test whether the new severities predict real exploitation.

Alert summarizing XBOW's disclosure of a three-stage Chrome for Windows exploit chain: V8 Maglev memory corruption (CVE-2026-85045), Animated WebP decoder memory corruption (Chromium issue 548509153), then a Crashpad sandbox escape (CVE-2026-78952). Loading a crafted page was enough; no click or download needed. Human researchers working with GPT-5.6 Sol agents built it in six days, Google paid $250,000, all three bugs are fixed, and no in-the-wild exploitation is confirmed. It advises updating Chrome and restarting, and gives forensic triage pointers.

ThreatWire (@ThreatWire_) on X

ThreatWire post on CVE-2026-97229, an integer overflow in the GitLab CI/CD regex compiler. GitLab rates it CVSS 3.1 10.0 and says it can allow unauthenticated code execution under certain conditions, in both CE and EE. Fixes are in 19.2.8, 19.3.5 and 19.4.2 (not 19.3.4), released Oct 12; GitLab-hosted instances are already patched. The post credits joaxcar via HackerOne and says a Rapid7 researcher published a lab PoC on GitHub, which ThreatWire has not run or verified. It also says the CVE is not in CISA KEV and has no known exploitation.

curl HTTP/2 upload UAF turned RCE (CVE-2026-92392)

CVE-2026-92392 is a use-after-free in curl's HTTP/2 upload path, fixed in curl 8.23.0 and rated HIGH. After a server zeroes the window and resets the stream, a dangling easy-handle pointer survives. On multi handle cleanup, server data lands in the freed memory and can overwrite a function pointer, giving remote code execution. Daniel Stenberg lists why exploitation is hard (~135KB upload, ~23-byte payload, allocation-dependent) and says Luna Tong at Anthropic found it with an OSS Scanner.

Social post summarizing Docker's Oct 12, 2026 advisory for CVE-2026-105445, a Docker Hub flaw. Converting a personal account to an organization re-assigned the account's personal access tokens (PATs) to the named new owner without rotating the secret. An attacker could name a victim as owner and keep using the token as that victim to pull, push or delete images. The exposure window ran from Aug 26, 2024 to Sept 30, 2026. Docker fixed it the day it was reported by Peter Molnar and Krisztian Hozak, deactivated transferred PATs on Oct 8, and found no exploitation after reviewing about 304,000 pushes. The post advises reviewing PATs and using organization access tokens for automation.

Ivanti Zero-Day Chain Gave Attackers Root Access to Fully Patched VPN

Ivanti disclosed CVE-2026-104935, an authentication bypass plus RCE in Connect Secure VPN appliances, exploited in the wild; patched in ICS 22.8R2.5, 25.1.1.2, 25.1.3.0 and 25.1.3.1. Volexity found threat actor UTA0576 chained three zero-days, including a still-unpatched privilege escalation, to get unauthenticated root on a fully patched appliance. Post-exploitation focused on stealing domain credentials, Active Directory reconnaissance (LAPS passwords, BitLocker keys), password spraying, a custom Kerberos tool and log tampering. Volexity assesses with medium confidence that the actor uses LLMs for exploit development.

Social post summarizing Volexity's research on an Ivanti Connect Secure (ICS) zero-day chain, CVE-2026-104935. The chain pairs an auth bypass and a race-condition RCE with a separate privilege-escalation bug for root. Actor UTA0576 used it from Oct 3, 2026 against a fully patched 22.8R2.4 appliance, leaving no backdoor or web shell and deleting log entries. Post-exploitation included LDAP/AD credential theft, LAPS and BitLocker key searches, password spraying and packet capture. CISA added it to KEV with a due date of Oct 16. A clean Integrity Checker result does not rule out compromise because the chain patches code in memory only, so memory and network forensics are needed. The hunting lead is heavy requests to /dana-na/auth/url_default/welcome.cgi with a mismatched X-DSCGI-PATH header.

Zero to calc in six days: inside XBOW's Chrome full chain

XBOW researchers describe a Chrome full-chain exploit that combines a V8/Maglev deoptimization bug (mutable HeapNumber treated as immutable), a TOCTOU flaw in Blink's animated-WebP decoder exploiting a transferred ArrayBuffer, and a race in Crashpad's remote-memory reader to achieve code execution outside the renderer sandbox. The chain, built in six days largely by AI agents using OpenAI's gpt-5.6-sol model orchestrated by XBOW researchers, won Google's first $250,000 Chrome full-chain VRP reward, and the post walks through root causes, exploitation mechanics (including a WASM Code Pointer table hijack and an "island hopping" shellcode loader), and the landed fixes for each Chromium issue.

CVE-2026-97229: Critical Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution in GitLab

Rapid7 analysis of CVE-2026-97229, a CVSS 10.0 integer overflow (CWE-190) in the Onigmo regex compiler used by GitLab CE/EE's CI/CD regex handling. A crafted regex in a .gitlab-ci.yml passes validation as US-ASCII, then is recompiled for a UTF-8 repository path, producing invalid instructions that give code execution as the git user. Rapid7 reproduced it on GitLab CE 19.4.1 with ASLR (patched in 19.4.2); despite the vendor's "unauthenticated" rating, the attacker needs to commit a malicious config to a public project, which self-registration allows. No in-the-wild exploitation is confirmed, and Rapid7 recommends urgent upgrades.

XRP Ledger’s Payment Engine Had a Counterfeiting Bug Hiding Since 2015

XRP Ledger maintainers disclosed a critical integer overflow in the payment engine, reported via bug bounty in September. A payment consuming hundreds of crafted order-book offers made the buyer's owed sum wrap around to a tiny value while sellers were paid in full, minting XRP. The built-in "no XRP created" invariant check used the same flawed arithmetic and missed it. The fix shipped in 3.4.1 on Sept. 25, bypassing the usual amendment vote and two-week wait for the first time, so the open-source patch would not expose a live exploit. No exploitation evidence was found.

Bricksforge WordPress Plugin Vulnerability Exploited in the Wild

SecurityWeek reports that Patchstack has observed in-the-wild exploitation of CVE-2026-85097 (CVSS 9.8), an unauthenticated arbitrary file upload leading to code execution in the Bricksforge WordPress plugin (add-on for Bricks builder, ~6,000 sites). Versions 3.1.8.9 and earlier are affected and 3.1.8.10 fixes it. Exploitation began October 7; telemetry shows one cluster of 44 IPs sending 56 identical payloads and another of 3 IPs trying 25 PHP extension/encoding variations against the same temp file, consistent with automated exploitation over rotating proxies.

Why a bug that could have threatened XRP's 100 billion supply cap stayed hidden for years

CoinDesk reports on an 11-year-old integer-overflow bug in the XRP Ledger's DEX code. Hundreds of crafted offers could make the computed buyer cost wrap to near zero while sellers were credited in full, which would have minted billions of XRP beyond the 100 billion cap. The post-transaction no-new-XRP invariant check used the same miscounted total, and the per-account receive limit was sidestepped by spreading funds across hundreds of accounts. Researcher Cayden Liao and Veria AI reported it on Sept. 22, RippleX patched it with no evidence of exploitation, and the XRP Ledger Foundation plans AI adversarial testing, formal verification and a stronger bug bounty.
