Ivanti disclosed Wednesday that attackers are exploiting a zero-day in Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM) to gain admin-level remote code execution on enterprise MDM servers. CVE-2026-6973. Successful exploitation gives the attacker control over the MDM platform that pushes apps and configurations to managed mobile fleets - a foothold that can pivot into managed devices and the corporate identity layer. CISA added the flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog the same day with a federal patch deadline next week. Ivanti products have a long history of zero-day exploitation.
Update on the cPanel ransomware wave covered May 3: attackers have shifted focus and are now targeting governments and managed service providers exploiting CVE-2026-41940. Security Affairs reports the operation is no longer just opportunistic mass-encryption of small business websites - the actors are deliberately looking for hosting accounts owned by government agencies and IT firms that manage downstream customers. CISA added the cPanel flaw to its KEV catalog Friday with a federal patch deadline of May 21. With 44,000 cPanel hosts already compromised in the initial wave, the secondary phase targeting MSPs has the potential to multiply impact through customer-tenant relationships - much like the 2023 Kaseya VSA campaign.
