    Researchers Demonstrate Node2Shell RCE Exploit on Node.js Build Using Crafted Brotli Data

    Security researchers at Imperva have demonstrated a remote code execution exploit called 'Node2Shell' targeting a vulnerability in Node.js's bundled Brotli decoder. The proof of concept successfully ran attacker-supplied code on the official Node.js 24.22.0 image for Linux arm64 without requiring a debugger or custom build. The attack works by feeding specially crafted Brotli data to the bundled Brotli decoder component. The vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2026-111497 and was disclosed by Node.js. The exploit requires no special configuration, making it particularly dangerous for any application running on an official Node.js build that processes Brotli-compressed data. The demonstration highlights a significant risk for production environments using standard Node.js deployments.

    PHP2Shell Exploit Attempts Hit Millions as Attackers Try to Deploy Mirai Malware

    Threat actors are actively attempting to exploit two newly disclosed PHP2Shell vulnerabilities, CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, both carrying a CVSS score of 9.2. The attacks aim to leverage unauthenticated remote code execution to compromise systems and enlist them into a Mirai botnet variant called Potassium. Despite the high volume of exploit attempts reaching millions, attackers have been largely unsuccessful, as weaponizing the flaws appears more difficult than initially anticipated. The vulnerabilities allow unauthenticated remote access, making them high-severity targets for botnet operators. The Mirai-based Potassium variant is the end payload intended for deployment on compromised systems. This campaign highlights the rapid exploitation attempts that follow public disclosure of critical vulnerabilities.

    How CVE-2026-73570 turns a Zimbra log file into remote code execution

    Elastic Security Labs analyzed CVE-2026-73570, a command injection vulnerability in Zimbra that can be exploited to achieve remote code execution. Researchers reproduced the vulnerability and discovered that several publicly available proof-of-concept (PoC) exploits are flawed, writing payloads that Swatchdog never matches. This means a failed exploit attempt may incorrectly appear as though the server is patched, leading to false confidence in security posture. The attack vector involves the manipulation of Zimbra log files, which are processed by Swatchdog, a log monitoring utility. The article provides technical detail on how the exploit chain works and highlights the pitfalls in existing public PoCs. Organizations running Zimbra should treat this as a high-severity issue requiring immediate patching and validation.

    EMudhra Intermediate CA Certificates Compromised

    Eight eMudhra intermediate Certificate Authority (CA) private keys were found to be compromised, posing significant risks to TLS certificate integrity. The compromise enables threat actors to perform unauthorized TLS certificate signing and man-in-the-middle (MitM) interception attacks. eMudhra is a licensed Certifying Authority, making this a high-impact PKI trust chain issue. Unit 42 published an analysis of the compromise along with a containment guide for affected organizations. The exposure of intermediate CA private keys can allow attackers to impersonate any domain covered under the affected CA hierarchy. This type of compromise undermines the foundational trust model of HTTPS and certificate-based authentication. Organizations relying on eMudhra-issued certificates are advised to review and revoke affected certificates immediately.

    Two CVSS 9.0 Linux KSMBD RCE Flaws Disclosed on Public Mailing Lists Before Kernel Fixes

    Two remote code execution vulnerabilities in Linux's built-in SMB server (KSMBD) have been publicly disclosed on mailing lists before mainline kernel patches are available. Both flaws carry a CVSS score of 9.0 and were reported by Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative. ZDI-CAN-33774 is particularly dangerous as it can be triggered pre-authentication over the network. ZDI-CAN-33549 requires SMB Direct transport and an RDMA-capable network interface. Linux servers with KSMBD enabled are currently exposed with no official fix in the mainline kernel. The public disclosure before patching increases the risk of exploitation by threat actors.

    Amazon says PHP2Shell exploitation began 4 days before patches

    Amazon Threat Intelligence researchers discovered that attackers began exploiting PHP2Shell vulnerabilities four days before security patches were made available. The exploitation predates the official patch release, indicating a zero-day or near-zero-day attack window. Amazon was involved in tracking and reporting this threat activity. The article highlights the risk of pre-patch exploitation, where threat actors may have had prior knowledge of the vulnerabilities. This type of activity underscores the importance of rapid patch deployment and proactive threat monitoring. The PHP2Shell flaws were patched on a Wednesday, meaning exploitation began the preceding Saturday. The early exploitation window could have allowed attackers significant time to compromise systems before defenders had any mitigation available.

    Kwetsbaarheden verholpen in Oracle Fusion Middleware

    Oracle has patched multiple vulnerabilities across several Fusion Middleware products including WebLogic Server, SOA Suite, Data Integrator, Identity Manager, Access Manager, WebCenter Content, Helidon, and HTTP Server. Vulnerabilities include unsafe deserialization, insufficient authentication and access controls, flaws in network protocols (HTTP, HTTP/2, SOAP, T3, IIOP, LDAP), and cryptographic library issues in Bouncy Castle and Jackson-databind. Attackers can exploit these to achieve arbitrary code execution, full system compromise, unauthorized data access, data manipulation, denial-of-service, privilege escalation, cross-site scripting, and spoofing. Exploitation is possible via network access, often without authentication, with some cases requiring user interaction. CVSS scores reach up to 10.0, indicating maximum severity. No proof-of-concept code is currently known, but NCSC anticipates increased scanning and exploitation activity due to the wide deployment of these products.

    LiteLLM Suspects GitHub Token Leak in AI Gateway Logs Behind Malicious Package Release

    On October 21, 2026, LiteLLM's release pipeline was compromised, resulting in a malicious version (1.107.0) being pushed to both Docker Hub and PyPI. Threat actors bypassed multiple independent security controls to inject a credential stealer and backdoor into the package. LiteLLM suspects that a GitHub token leaked via AI gateway logs may have been the initial attack vector. The incident occurred around 4:00 a.m. and represents a significant supply chain attack targeting AI/ML tooling infrastructure. Users who downloaded or used the compromised version may have had credentials stolen or systems backdoored.
