Ghost CMS CVE-2026-26980 SQL injection exploited at scale - 700+ sites including Harvard, Oxford, DuckDuckGo serve ClickFix lures

Qianxin XLab has documented a large-scale ClickFix campaign exploiting CVE-2026-26980, an SQL injection in Ghost CMS that was disclosed and patched on February 19. The vulnerability lets unauthenticated attackers read arbitrary database content including admin API keys, which are then used to inject malicious JavaScript into articles. More than 700 domains are confirmed compromised, including Harvard, Oxford, and Auburn universities and DuckDuckGo. Victim browsers receive a fingerprinted iframe overlay impersonating a Cloudflare prompt that instructs users to paste a command into the Windows command prompt, dropping DLL loaders, JS droppers, or the UtilifySetup.exe Electron-based payload. Two distinct activity clusters compete for compromised sites.

Check
Inventory Ghost CMS sites by version. Search article HTML for unexpected inline JavaScript, iframe overlays, or fake Cloudflare prompts since February 19, 2026. Check admin-API audit logs for suspicious reads.
Affected
Ghost CMS versions 3.24.0 through 6.19.0 with the admin API exposed (default). More than 700 sites confirmed compromised, including major universities and tech companies.
Fix
Upgrade Ghost CMS to 6.19.1 or later. Rotate all admin API keys regardless of compromise status. Apply XLab IoCs and review articles for injected JavaScript. Train editors against ClickFix prompts.

Drupal critical SQL injection CVE-2026-9082 now actively exploited in PostgreSQL sites, added to CISA KEV - patch immediately

Drupal has issued an update to its highly critical PSA-2026-05-18 advisory confirming that exploit attempts for CVE-2026-9082 are now being detected in the wild. The bug is an SQL injection in Drupal's database abstraction API that lets unauthenticated requests trigger arbitrary SQL on sites running PostgreSQL, with possible escalation to RCE, privilege escalation, and information disclosure. Drupal rates it 23 out of 25 internally though NIST's CVSS v3 score is a mismatched 6.5. CISA added it to KEV on May 22. Affected versions cover Drupal 8.9.x and all 10.x and 11.x branches up to 10.4.10, 10.5.10, 10.6.9, 11.1.10, 11.2.12, and 11.3.10.

Check
Inventory Drupal sites, confirm core version, and identify PostgreSQL deployments (highest impact). Search web access logs for unusual database errors or SQL-pattern requests since 2026-05-20.
Affected
Drupal core 8.9.x, 10.4.x before 10.4.10, 10.5.x before 10.5.10, 10.6.x before 10.6.9, and all 11.x before 11.1.10/11.2.12/11.3.10. PostgreSQL backends face RCE; MySQL still needs the upgrade for Symfony/Twig.
Fix
Upgrade to the patched branch immediately. FCEB agencies must remediate by June 12 per CISA KEV. Apply WAF rules blocking suspicious SQL injection patterns until the patch lands.

Three WordPress plugins under active exploitation: Funnel Builder, Avada Builder, and Burst Statistics (1.2M+ sites at risk)

Three concurrent WordPress plugin issues are putting millions of sites at risk. Funnel Builder, used on 40,000+ WooCommerce sites, is being actively exploited: an unauthenticated attacker hits an unprotected checkout endpoint, modifies global plugin settings, and injects JavaScript skimmers into checkout pages. Avada Builder, with 1 million installs and bundled with the Avada theme, ships fixes in 3.15.3 for CVE-2026-4782 (CVSS 6.5 arbitrary file read by Subscriber-level users, exposes wp-config.php) and CVE-2026-4798 (CVSS 7.5 unauthenticated time-based blind SQL injection when WooCommerce was used then deactivated). Burst Statistics CVE-2026-8181 is an auth bypass already being exploited on 200,000 sites.

Check
Inventory WordPress sites you operate or manage for clients; check installed versions of Funnel Builder, Avada Builder (and the Avada theme), and Burst Statistics; pull web access logs for the affected checkout and Fusion shortcode endpoints.
Affected
WordPress sites running Funnel Builder before the latest patch, Avada Builder up to 3.15.2 (1M sites bundled with the Avada theme), and Burst Statistics 3.4.0 or 3.4.1 (200K sites). WooCommerce checkout integrations face highest impact.
Fix
Update Avada Builder to 3.15.3 (released May 12), update Burst Statistics to the patched release, apply the Funnel Builder fix, then rotate WordPress salts and database passwords on any site that ran a vulnerable Avada Builder version.

SAP patches two critical CVSS 9.6 flaws in Commerce Cloud and S/4HANA - the ERP and e-commerce platforms behind most large retailers and global enterprises (CVE-2026-34263, CVE-2026-34260)

SAP's May Patch Day included two CVSS 9.6 critical flaws. CVE-2026-34263 in Commerce Cloud is a missing authentication check from improperly ordered Spring Security rules - unauthenticated attackers can upload configurations and inject code. CVE-2026-34260 in S/4HANA is a SQL injection in the ABAP Enterprise Search component that lets low-privilege authenticated users steal sensitive database records. Both land less than two weeks after four SAP npm packages were hit in the Mini Shai-Hulud attack, putting SAP customers under compounding patch pressure.

Check
Inventory SAP Commerce Cloud and S/4HANA instances. Check note application status in Solution Manager or SAP Support Portal. Search application logs for unusual configuration upload attempts.
Affected
SAP Commerce Cloud (all on-prem before patch) - CVE-2026-34263, CVSS 9.6. S/4HANA with ABAP Enterprise Search enabled - CVE-2026-34260, CVSS 9.6. Internet-facing Commerce Cloud is at acute risk.
Fix
Apply SAP Security Notes 3733064 (Commerce Cloud) and 3724838 (S/4HANA). Restrict Commerce Cloud admin endpoints to trusted IPs. Audit Enterprise Search query logs for SQL injection signatures.

AI security tool finds 38 previously unknown bugs in OpenEMR, the open-source health records system used by 100,000 healthcare providers - two of them rated maximum severity

Aisle, an AI-driven application security firm, ran its analyzer over OpenEMR's source code and found 38 previously unknown vulnerabilities, including two with maximum severity (CVSS 10.0). OpenEMR is the open-source electronic health records system used by 100,000 healthcare providers serving 200 million patients. The two critical bugs let attackers reach into patient databases without logging in: CVE-2026-24898 lets any unauthenticated visitor receive the medical practice's API tokens by sending a single POST request, and CVE-2026-24908 is a SQL injection in the patient REST API. OpenEMR has now patched all 38.

Check
If your organization runs OpenEMR, upgrade to the latest patched build today and audit access logs for unauthenticated POST requests to MedEx recall/reminder endpoints.
Affected
OpenEMR deployments before the April 2026 security update. Particularly acute for any internet-reachable instance because CVE-2026-24898 is unauthenticated. The 100,000 OpenEMR healthcare providers are typically smaller US clinics and under-resourced settings worldwide - the segments least likely to have a fast patching process.
Fix
Upgrade OpenEMR to the latest 8.x patched release. Audit application logs for any POST to the MedEx recall/reminder endpoint and for unusual _sort parameter values in the patient REST API - those are the exploit signatures. Restrict OpenEMR's admin and API endpoints to internal management networks. Rotate API tokens issued before the patch was applied since they may have been exposed via CVE-2026-24898.

Hackers raced to exploit a critical LiteLLM flaw 36 hours after disclosure - any attacker who could reach the proxy could read all stored AI API keys (CVE-2026-42208)

LiteLLM, the popular open-source gateway used to centralize API access for OpenAI, Anthropic, and other AI providers, has a critical pre-authentication SQL injection bug that attackers started exploiting just 36 hours after the security advisory went public. The flaw lets anyone who can reach the proxy port read all the API keys stored inside - including master keys, virtual keys, and provider credentials. The bug was in the bearer-token check: the token was concatenated into a SQL query instead of passed as a parameter. Sysdig saw the first attack at 04:24 UTC on April 26, hitting three tables that hold the most valuable secrets.

Check
If you run any internet-facing LiteLLM proxy, patch to v1.83.7-stable today and treat every API key, virtual key, and stored provider credential as compromised.
Affected
LiteLLM versions 1.81.16 through 1.83.6, internet-reachable on the default proxy port. CVE-2026-42208, CVSS 9.3, pre-auth SQL injection. Blast radius is closer to a full cloud account compromise than a typical web app bug because LiteLLM holds OpenAI, Anthropic, and AWS Bedrock credentials.
Fix
Patch to LiteLLM v1.83.7-stable. If you can't upgrade, set 'disable_error_logs: true' under 'general_settings' as a workaround. Rotate every virtual key, master key, and upstream provider credential. Audit upstream provider billing for unexpected API calls since April 24. Block traffic from 65.111.27.132 and 65.111.25.67 (AS200373).

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.
