CrowdStrike disclosed two cybercrime groups - Cordial Spider and Snarky Spider - running fast SaaS extortion attacks that stay almost entirely inside legitimate SaaS environments. The pattern: call employees pretending to be IT support, walk them through an 'MFA reset' that's actually a credential-harvesting site that mimics their company's branding, capture the password and MFA code, then immediately log into SSO and pivot through Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and other SaaS apps. The attackers register their own device for MFA and exfiltrate data within hours. Both groups overlap with the broader ShinyHunters ecosystem (UNC6240/UNC6661/UNC6671).
Anthropic launched Claude Security in public beta yesterday, an enterprise tool that scans code repositories for vulnerabilities, rates each finding's severity and confidence, and generates patch instructions that engineers can apply through Claude Code. The launch is direct response to Mythos and similar AI-driven offensive tools that have been compressing the time between vulnerability disclosure and active exploitation - LiteLLM was exploited 36 hours after disclosure last week, LMDeploy in 13 hours the week before. CrowdStrike, Microsoft Security, Palo Alto Networks, SentinelOne, Trend, and Wiz are integrating Claude Opus 4.7 into their platforms.
SonicWall released emergency firmware updates for Gen 6, Gen 7, and Gen 8 firewalls after CrowdStrike's research team disclosed three SonicOS flaws on April 29. The worst is CVE-2026-0204 (CVSS 8.0), a weak authentication bug in the management interface that lets an attacker on an adjacent network reach management functions without logging in - and from there change firewall rules, disable security protections, or open new holes. The other two are post-authentication: CVE-2026-0205 is a path traversal that breaks out of restricted directories, and CVE-2026-0206 is a buffer overflow that crashes the firewall. No public exploits yet.
CrowdStrike disclosed CVE-2026-40050 on April 21, a critical unauthenticated path traversal in a specific cluster API endpoint of self-hosted LogScale (formerly Humio). CVSS 9.8. A remote attacker who can reach the endpoint can read arbitrary files from disk - including config files, certificates, embedded credentials, and the very logs the platform was deployed to protect. CrowdStrike found the bug through internal product testing and applied network-layer blocks across all SaaS clusters on April 7. Self-hosted customers must patch themselves. There is no evidence of in-the-wild exploitation yet.
