GitHub issue title let an AI agent hijack Snowflake CI and steal a token

Researchers at Wiz found that a public Snowflake code repository could be hijacked through nothing more than a crafted GitHub issue title. A workflow that ran when issues were opened dropped the attacker-controlled title straight into a command, so an unauthenticated user could run code on the GitHub Actions runner and steal a Jira API token used by the automation. The notable twist is how the bug arrived: it was introduced days earlier by an AI tool meant to fix security issues, and an AI code reviewer approved the change. Snowflake fixed it by passing the title safely as an argument rather than expanding it into a command.

Check
Audit GitHub Actions workflows that run on untrusted input like issue titles or pull requests, and never interpolate that input directly into shell commands; pass it as environment variables or arguments.
Affected
Repositories whose workflows trigger on issues or pull requests and interpolate attacker-controlled text into commands; an unauthenticated user can run code on the runner and steal the secrets the workflow holds.
Fix
Sanitize untrusted workflow input, minimize the secrets and permissions each workflow can access, and do not assume AI-generated or AI-reviewed code is safe, since automated fixes and reviews miss injection flaws.

Adobe patches ColdFusion command injection flaw scored a perfect ten

Adobe released Priority 1 updates for ColdFusion and Campaign Classic, led by a critical operating-system command injection flaw in ColdFusion scored 10.0 that could give an attacker arbitrary code execution. Tracked as CVE-2026-48362, it is accompanied by an eval-injection flaw scored 9.9 and an authorization flaw that can cause a denial of service. ColdFusion application servers are a long-standing target for attackers because they are widely internet-exposed and often run with broad access. Adobe is not aware of exploitation yet but urges installation within 72 hours given the priority rating. The Campaign Classic updates apply only to on-premises and hybrid on-premises deployments.

Check
Update ColdFusion to the fixed 2025 and 2023 releases within Adobe's 72-hour window, and confirm internet-facing ColdFusion servers are not running with unnecessary privileges or exposure.
Affected
Organizations running affected Adobe ColdFusion (CVE-2026-48362); an attacker could achieve arbitrary code execution through operating-system command injection, and ColdFusion servers are frequently exposed and targeted.
Fix
Apply the Priority 1 updates quickly, restrict and monitor ColdFusion server access, run it with least privilege, and watch for unexpected process execution, since command-injection flaws are attractive and often weaponized fast.

Progress Kemp LoadMaster command injection flaw added to KEV after active exploitation

CISA added a critical Progress Kemp LoadMaster flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog after reports of active exploitation. Tracked as CVE-2026-8037 and scored 9.6, it is a command injection bug that lets an unauthenticated attacker run arbitrary commands on the load balancer appliance through unsanitized input in several command endpoints. watchTowr traced it to improper handling of user input in a quote-escaping function. Telemetry recorded 792 exploitation attempts over 41 days from 65 addresses across 18 countries, with activity as recent as early August. Federal agencies were directed to patch by August 10, a useful signal of urgency for everyone else.

Check
Patch Progress Kemp LoadMaster appliances to the fixed release now, and because the appliance sits inline with traffic, review it for signs of command execution and unexpected configuration changes.
Affected
Organizations running unpatched Progress Kemp LoadMaster (CVE-2026-8037); an unauthenticated attacker can execute arbitrary commands on an appliance that sits inline with network traffic, and exploitation is ongoing.
Fix
Apply the vendor patch, restrict management access to the appliance, hunt for unauthorized commands and configuration changes, and rotate any credentials the load balancer stored or handled.

Cisco patches critical SD-WAN and IOS XE flaws with no available workarounds

Cisco released fixes for twelve flaws in Catalyst SD-WAN and IOS XE software, including three rated 9.9 and a command-injection issue rated 9.8. The three critical SD-WAN flaws, CVE-2026-20303, CVE-2026-20304, and CVE-2026-20310, stem from improper input validation, access control, and file-path handling in software that centrally controls a network. Cisco found them through internal testing that included frontier AI models and is not aware of exploitation, but there are no workarounds, so patching is the only remediation. Cisco also patched a management-controller flaw with public exploit code that lets a low-privileged user reach root.

Check
Upgrade Catalyst SD-WAN and IOS XE to the fixed releases Cisco lists, since there are no workarounds, and prioritize the management-controller flaw that already has public exploit code.
Affected
Organizations running affected Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN or IOS XE (CVE-2026-20303, CVE-2026-20304, CVE-2026-20310); the flaws affect software that centrally controls the network, and no workarounds exist.
Fix
Apply Cisco's fixed software, restrict access to network management interfaces, and treat the management-controller flaw with public proof-of-concept code as a priority since it reaches root.

Critical Arista VeloCloud Orchestrator flaw exploited in attacks

Arista patched a critical vulnerability in on-premises VeloCloud Orchestrator, the console that configures and manages VeloCloud SD-WAN deployments, that is already being exploited. Tracked as CVE-2026-16812 and scored 10.0, it is an unauthenticated operating-system command injection that lets a remote attacker reach privileged functionality meant only for internal use. Arista warns successful exploitation can compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the orchestrator and everything it manages. There is no configuration that prevents exposure, since the web interface is reachable by default. CISA added it to its exploited-vulnerabilities catalog. Hosted and Dedicated deployments were fixed before the advisory and are not affected.

Check
Identify on-premises VeloCloud Orchestrator instances, upgrade to the fixed 5.2.3.14, 6.1.3.4, 6.4.2.4, or 7.x releases immediately, and restrict the web interface to trusted administrative networks.
Affected
Organizations running on-premises VeloCloud Orchestrator (CVE-2026-16812); the web interface is exposed by default, needs no credentials, and active exploitation gives attackers command execution over the orchestrator and managed devices.
Fix
Upgrade to the fixed VCO versions, limit web interface access to trusted networks, and review VCO web access logs for unusual path components, encoded characters, or high request rates.

CISA orders agencies to patch two exploited Fortinet FortiSandbox flaws

CISA has added two critical Fortinet FortiSandbox vulnerabilities to its exploited-vulnerabilities catalog and ordered federal agencies to patch them by July 19. Tracked as CVE-2026-39808 and CVE-2026-25089, both are operating-system command injection flaws that let an unauthenticated attacker run commands remotely with low complexity and no user interaction. Fortinet disclosed and fixed them in April and June, and threat intelligence firm Defused reported in-the-wild abuse of FortiSandbox flaws in June. FortiSandbox is a threat-detection appliance, and Fortinet gear sits at many network edges, so these devices are a recurring target in espionage and ransomware campaigns, making prompt patching important.

Check
Identify Fortinet FortiSandbox appliances in your environment, check their versions against Fortinet's advisories for these flaws, and upgrade to the fixed releases, prioritizing any internet-reachable or edge-facing devices.
Affected
Organizations running affected Fortinet FortiSandbox versions (CVE-2026-39808, CVE-2026-25089); unauthenticated attackers can run commands remotely, and active exploitation of FortiSandbox flaws has been reported, making unpatched appliances a real risk.
Fix
Upgrade FortiSandbox to the fixed versions, such as 4.4.9 for the April flaw, restrict and monitor management access to these appliances, and review logs and configurations for unauthorized commands or changes.

Ubiquiti patches 25 UniFi flaws, including unauthenticated command injection on devices

Ubiquiti has released fixes for 25 vulnerabilities across its UniFi ecosystem, including several critical flaws that let a network-based attacker fully compromise devices. The most severe, CVE-2026-50746 rated 10.0, is an improper access-control bug in the UniFi Connect application that allows unauthenticated command injection on the host. Others rated 9.9, spanning UniFi Talk, Access, Protect, and UniFi OS, include SQL injection, command injection, and server-side request forgery that lead to privilege escalation, and some can be chained to bypass authentication requirements. The flaws affect widely deployed gateways and consoles like the UDM family. Ubiquiti lists no interim workarounds, so updating each affected product to its fixed version is the only mitigation.

Check
Inventory UniFi Connect, Talk, Access, Protect, Network Application, and UniFi OS devices, including UDM gateways and consoles, confirm their versions against Ubiquiti's advisory, and check which are reachable by untrusted users.
Affected
UniFi Connect, Talk, Access, Protect, and UniFi OS devices on affected versions (CVE-2026-50746 and others); network-based attackers can inject commands, escalate privileges, or bypass authentication, with no workarounds available.
Fix
Update each affected UniFi product to the fixed version in Ubiquiti's advisory, prioritize devices reachable by untrusted networks, and review UniFi logs for unexpected configuration changes, new accounts, or unusual outbound traffic.

Critical FortiSandbox flaw lets unauthenticated attackers run commands

Fortinet has patched a critical flaw in FortiSandbox, the appliance that detonates suspicious files and feeds malware verdicts to the rest of a Fortinet security deployment. The bug (CVE-2026-25089, rated 9.8) is an OS command injection in the web interface that lets a remote, unauthenticated attacker run arbitrary commands by sending crafted HTTP requests. Compromising a sandbox is especially dangerous because attackers can both pivot deeper into the network and blind the very system meant to catch malware. Fixed versions are FortiSandbox 5.0.6 and 4.4.9, with matching updates for the Cloud and PaaS editions.

Check
Identify FortiSandbox appliances and their version and whether the web interface is reachable from untrusted networks, and review HTTP and admin logs for unexpected command execution.
Affected
FortiSandbox, FortiSandbox Cloud, and FortiSandbox PaaS web interfaces before the fixed releases (CVE-2026-25089), reachable by remote unauthenticated attackers over HTTP.
Fix
Upgrade FortiSandbox to 5.0.6 or 4.4.9 (and the matching Cloud and PaaS releases) now, and restrict management-interface access to trusted networks until patched.

Ubiquiti patches three max-severity UniFi OS flaws (CVE-2026-34908/34909/34910) plus two more - ~100K endpoints exposed online

Ubiquiti has shipped patches for five UniFi OS vulnerabilities, three of which are CVSS-maximum and exploitable by remote unauthenticated attackers. CVE-2026-34908 is an improper access control that lets attackers make unauthorized changes; CVE-2026-34909 is a path traversal that reaches an underlying system account; CVE-2026-34910 is an unauthenticated command injection. Two additional flaws (CVE-2026-33000, a critical command injection, and CVE-2026-34911, a high-severity info disclosure) were also patched. All five came through Ubiquiti's HackerOne program. Censys is tracking close to 100,000 internet-exposed UniFi OS endpoints, around 50,000 of them in the US. Ubiquiti products were previously hijacked into the GRU-operated Moobot botnet.

Check
Inventory UniFi OS devices (Dream Machine, Cloud Key, UNVR, UCG) and their firmware version. Censys-check your egress IPs for exposed UniFi web interfaces and management ports.
Affected
All UniFi OS Consoles (Dream Machine, Cloud Key, UNVR, UCG) before the May 22 patches. Roughly 100,000 internet-exposed endpoints worldwide, with about 50,000 in the United States.
Fix
Apply Ubiquiti's UniFi OS updates immediately via the Network app or controller. Move management interfaces off the public internet. Restrict admin access to a management VLAN behind VPN.

Atlassian Bamboo Data Center hit with critical OS command injection (CVE-2026-21571, CVSS 9.4) - patch your CI/CD before someone uses it as a supply-chain pivot

Atlassian's April 21 security bulletin disclosed CVE-2026-21571, a critical OS command injection in Bamboo Data Center and Server with CVSS 9.4. An authenticated attacker can execute arbitrary commands on the underlying server, leading to full system compromise and lateral movement. Affected branches: 9.6, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 11.0, 11.1, 12.0, 12.1. The same bulletin patches CVE-2026-33871 (CVSS 8.7) - a Netty HTTP/2 DoS that can knock CI/CD pipelines offline. Bamboo sits at the heart of build pipelines, giving attackers a clean path to tamper with artifacts and harvest pipeline secrets.

Check
Inventory every Bamboo Data Center and Server instance you run and upgrade to 12.1.6 LTS, 10.2.18 LTS, or 9.6.25 today.
Affected
Atlassian Bamboo Data Center and Server versions 9.6.0 through 12.1.3 inclusive against CVE-2026-21571 (CVSS 9.4 OS command injection, authenticated). Also exposed to CVE-2026-33871 (CVSS 8.7 DoS via Netty HTTP/2). The authenticated requirement is small comfort - any leaked or shared technician credential is enough.
Fix
Upgrade to Bamboo 12.1.6 LTS, 10.2.18 LTS, or 9.6.25. Audit Bamboo accounts and disable shared logins; require MFA on every Bamboo auth path. Alert on shell interpreters or curl/wget spawning from the Bamboo Java process. Restrict the admin UI to internal networks. Rotate every credential stored in build configurations - they could have been read during the vulnerable window.
