All 741 Vulnerability 286 Breach 129 Threat 319 Defense 7

Cisco breached through Trivy supply chain attack - source code and AWS keys stolen

The TeamPCP supply chain campaign has claimed its biggest victim yet. Attackers used credentials stolen from the Trivy vulnerability scanner compromise to breach Cisco's internal development environment, stealing source code belonging to both Cisco and its customers. Multiple AWS keys were also taken and used for unauthorized activity across Cisco's cloud accounts. The company expects continued fallout from the follow-on LiteLLM and Checkmarx compromises in the same campaign.

Check
If your CI/CD pipelines used Trivy, LiteLLM, or Checkmarx KICS between March 19-27, audit for unauthorized access immediately.
Affected
Any organization that ran compromised versions of Trivy (v0.69.4+), LiteLLM (1.82.7-1.82.8), or Checkmarx KICS GitHub Actions during the exposure windows.
Fix
Pin Trivy to v0.69.3, trivy-action to v0.35.0, setup-trivy to v0.2.6. Rotate all pipeline secrets, AWS keys, SSH keys, and tokens. Block scan.aquasecurtiy[.]org and 45.148.10.212. Search GitHub orgs for repositories named tpcp-docs - their presence means data was exfiltrated.

CareCloud confirms hackers accessed patient health records in 8-hour breach

Healthcare software company CareCloud disclosed to the SEC that hackers breached one of its six electronic health record environments on March 16, gaining access to patient medical data for approximately eight hours. The company serves over 40,000 healthcare providers. It's still investigating whether data was exfiltrated, but classified the incident as material on March 24 due to the sensitivity of the records. No ransomware group has claimed the attack.

Check
If your organization uses CareCloud Health for EHR, contact CareCloud for specifics on whether your environment was affected.
Affected
CareCloud Health EHR platform users. One of six EHR environments was compromised.
Fix
Monitor for CareCloud's breach notification updates. Review access logs for unusual activity around March 16. Ensure MFA is enforced on all EHR system access. Prepare for potential patient notification requirements.

Chinese hackers exploited TrueConf video conferencing zero-day to backdoor Southeast Asian governments (CVE-2026-3502)

Check Point uncovered Operation TrueChaos - a Chinese-nexus espionage campaign that turned a video conferencing platform's update mechanism into a malware delivery system. The attackers compromised a central on-premises TrueConf server used by a government IT department, then swapped the legitimate client update with a weaponized package that deployed the Havoc post-exploitation framework. Every connected government agency pulled the poisoned update automatically, no individual endpoint compromise needed.

Check
Check if your organization uses TrueConf for video conferencing, especially in on-premises deployments.
Affected
TrueConf Windows client versions 8.1.0 through 8.5.2. On-premises deployments are at highest risk since the attack requires control of the TrueConf server.
Fix
Update TrueConf Windows client to version 8.5.3 or later. Audit TrueConf servers for unauthorized modifications. Check endpoints for IOCs: unsigned trueconf_windows_update.exe, files named poweriso.exe or 7z-x64.dll, and connections to 43.134.90.60, 43.134.52.221, or 47.237.15.197.

Fortinet FortiClient EMS SQL injection actively exploited - no authentication required (CVE-2026-21643)

A CVSS 9.1 SQL injection flaw in Fortinet's FortiClient Endpoint Management Server is now being exploited in the wild - four days before anyone flagged it publicly. An attacker only needs one crafted HTTP request with a malicious Site header to execute arbitrary SQL against the backing PostgreSQL database, no credentials required. Roughly 1,000 to 2,400 FortiClient EMS instances are exposed to the internet, mostly in the US and Europe.

Check
Check if you run FortiClient EMS with its web interface exposed to the internet.
Affected
FortiClient EMS 7.4.4 with multi-tenant mode enabled. Single-site deployments are not affected.
Fix
Upgrade to FortiClient EMS 7.4.5 or later. Restrict access to the EMS administrative interface immediately.

Citrix NetScaler exploitation confirmed - CISA adds to KEV with April 2 deadline (CVE-2026-3055)

The Citrix NetScaler flaw we reported under active recon two days ago has escalated fast. Attackers are now sending crafted SAMLRequest payloads that trigger memory leaks exposing sensitive data through session cookies. CISA added CVE-2026-3055 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on March 30 with an unusually tight April 2 remediation deadline - just three days for federal agencies.

Check
Check if you run NetScaler ADC or Gateway configured as a SAML identity provider.
Affected
NetScaler ADC/Gateway 14.1 < 14.1-66.59, 13.1 < 13.1-62.23, 13.1-FIPS/NDcPP < 13.1-37.262.
Fix
Update to 14.1-66.59, 13.1-62.23, or 13.1-37.262 respectively. CISA deadline is April 2, 2026.

New Russian CTRL toolkit spreads via fake private key folders - hijacks RDP and steals credentials

Researchers at Censys discovered a previously undocumented Russian-origin toolkit called CTRL, distributed through Windows shortcut files disguised as private key folders. Once a victim double-clicks the LNK file, a multi-stage chain deploys credential harvesting through a fake Windows Hello PIN prompt, a keylogger, RDP session hijacking, and reverse proxy tunneling. All stolen data exits through the RDP tunnel, leaving minimal forensic traces compared to traditional command-and-control patterns.

Check
Warn staff about Windows shortcut files received via email or messaging, especially any labeled as private keys or credentials.
Affected
Any Windows system where a user opens the malicious LNK file. The toolkit targets .NET Framework 4.7.2 environments.
Fix
Block the domains hui228[.]ru and IPs 146.19.213.155, 194.33.61.36, 109.107.168.18. Train staff to never open shortcut files from untrusted sources. Monitor for unusual FRP tunnel traffic on port 7000.

New RoadK1ll implant turns compromised hosts into silent network relays via WebSocket tunneling

Blackpoint discovered a new Node.js-based implant called RoadK1ll during an incident response engagement. It's not a traditional RAT - it carries no large command set. Instead, it does one thing well: turn a compromised machine into a controllable relay point that lets attackers pivot to internal systems that would normally be unreachable from outside. It communicates over WebSocket, blends into normal web traffic, supports multiple concurrent connections, and auto-reconnects if disrupted.

Check
Monitor endpoints for unexpected Node.js processes maintaining persistent outbound WebSocket connections to unfamiliar addresses.
Affected
Any Windows or Linux system where an attacker has achieved initial access. RoadK1ll is a post-compromise tool deployed after initial entry.
Fix
Validate network segmentation controls to ensure compromised hosts cannot freely reach sensitive internal services. Block outbound WebSocket traffic to unknown IPs on non-standard ports. Check for the IOCs published by Blackpoint.

macOS Tahoe 26.4 blocks ClickFix paste attacks in Terminal - update your Mac fleet now

Apple shipped an undocumented security feature in macOS Tahoe 26.4 that directly targets ClickFix attacks - the social engineering technique behind the Infinity Stealer campaign we covered last week. When a user tries to paste a potentially harmful command into Terminal, macOS now intercepts it with a warning before anything executes. The feature only covers Apple's built-in Terminal app, not third-party alternatives like iTerm2. A 'Paste Anyway' option remains for power users.

Check
Check if your Mac fleet is running macOS Tahoe 26.4 or later.
Affected
Any macOS user on versions prior to 26.4 who may encounter ClickFix social engineering attacks via fake CAPTCHA pages or tech support sites.
Fix
Update to macOS Tahoe 26.4. Push the update via MDM for managed fleets. Train staff to never paste commands from websites into Terminal regardless of the prompt - the protection only covers Terminal.app, not third-party terminals.

Smart Slider 3 WordPress plugin exposes 800,000+ sites to file theft (CVE-2026-3098)

A flaw in Smart Slider 3 - one of WordPress's most popular slider plugins with over 800,000 active installations - lets anyone with a basic subscriber account download arbitrary files from the server. That includes wp-config.php, which contains database credentials, encryption keys, and salt data. An attacker only needs the lowest level of authenticated access to trigger the vulnerable export function and package sensitive files into a downloadable ZIP.

Check
Check if you run Smart Slider 3 on any WordPress site, especially sites with open registration.
Affected
Smart Slider 3 versions up to and including 3.5.1.33.
Fix
Update to Smart Slider 3 version 3.5.1.34. Rotate database credentials and salts if you suspect the vulnerability was exploited.

F5 BIG-IP APM flaw reclassified from DoS to pre-auth RCE - now actively exploited (CVE-2025-53521)

Remember that F5 BIG-IP APM bug from last year everyone treated as a denial-of-service issue? Turns out it's pre-auth remote code execution - CVSS 9.3. F5 quietly reclassified it after new findings in March 2026 and confirmed exploitation in the wild. CISA added it to the KEV catalog with a March 30 patch deadline. That's tomorrow.

Check
Check if you run F5 BIG-IP with APM access policies enabled.
Affected
BIG-IP APM 17.5.0-17.5.1, 17.1.0-17.1.2, 16.1.0-16.1.6, 15.1.0-15.1.10.
Fix
Update to 17.5.2, 17.1.3, 16.1.7, or 15.1.11 respectively. CISA deadline is March 30, 2026.
