Cisco has patched a flaw in Secure Firewall Management Center that attackers were already exploiting to log into devices. Tracked as CVE-2026-20316, it stems from static credentials for a low-privilege account built into the software, letting an unauthenticated remote attacker sign in and read sensitive data. Cisco scored it 5.3 but rated it High because the access can be chained with other flaws to escalate privileges. In the same cycle it patched CVE-2026-20079, a separate critical authentication bypass that reaches root, and shipped one set of hot fixes with a shared indicator suggesting the two could be combined. There are no workarounds.
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.
Progress Software has told ShareFile customers to immediately shut down the on-premises Windows servers running Storage Zone Controllers, citing a "credible external security threat" against its enterprise file-sharing platform. The company has temporarily disabled access to affected accounts and says it has no sign of unauthorized access yet, but it has not disclosed what the threat is or whether a vulnerability is involved. Ordering a full shutdown rather than a patch strongly suggests there is no fix available. Only self-hosted Storage Zone Controllers, which typically sit internet-facing at the network edge, are affected, not cloud-only ShareFile. Progress also makes MOVEit, whose 2023 zero-day was mass-exploited by the Clop group.
Microsoft has flipped its position on Edge keeping saved passwords decrypted in memory the moment the browser launches. After originally telling the researcher who reported it that the behavior was 'by design' and not a security issue, Microsoft now says future Edge builds will stop loading the password store into memory at startup. The fix is already live in the Canary channel and will reach Stable, Beta, Dev, and Extended Stable in build 148. The original disclosure came with a working tool that lets an administrator on a shared Windows machine dump other users' Edge passwords by reading process memory.
