Palo Alto Networks PSIRT CVE-2026-0307 (published 9 September 2026, updated 23 September 2026): multiple local privilege-escalation vulnerabilities in the GlobalProtect app (CWE-426 untrusted search path) let a local low-privileged user reach NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM on Windows and root on macOS and Linux, then run arbitrary commands with administrative privileges. iOS, Android and ChromeOS are not impacted. No special configuration required. Vendor CVSS-BT 5.9 MEDIUM (CVSS 4.0); CVSS-B 8.5; exploit maturity UNREPORTED; urgency MODERATE. Palo Alto Networks says it is not aware of malicious exploitation. 23 Sep advisory refresh: GlobalProtect 6.3.3-h15 fixed builds for Linux/macOS/Windows all show ETA 09/28 (Linux ETA previously ~17 Sep on the 16 Sep desk card); 6.2.8-h14 Win/macOS ETA 09/28; 6.0.15 Linux/macOS ETA 09/28, Windows ETA 10/29. NGFW customers must also upgrade PAN-OS / Prisma Access — Solution table now cites e.g. PAN-OS 12.2.3; 12.1.10 / 12.1.7-h6 / 12.1.4-h11; and listed 11.2/11.1/10.2 hotfixes (hotfix minor revs bumped vs 16 Sep card). Prisma Access via scheduled maintenance or on-demand Support upgrade. Distinct from desk cards cve-2026-0299 and cve-2026-0251. Primary: Palo Alto Networks PSIRT. UPDATE 30 Sep–3 Oct 2026 (desk 04:00 Perth 3 Oct): Palo Alto PSIRT advisory refresh dated 30 September 2026 slips GlobalProtect fixed-build ETAs — 6.3.3-h15 (Linux/macOS/Windows) and 6.2.8-h14 (macOS/Windows) now show ETA 10/06 (was 09/28 on the 23 Sep desk card); 6.0.15 remains ETA 10/29 across Linux/macOS/Windows. Severity still CVSS-BT 5.9 MEDIUM / CVSS-B 8.5; exploit maturity UNREPORTED; vendor still not aware of malicious exploitation. NGFW/Prisma Access PAN-OS upgrade requirement unchanged. Primary: Palo Alto PSIRT CVE-2026-0307. UPDATE 17 Oct 2026: Palo Alto Networks revised the advisory on 17 October 2026 (timeline: 'Update versions and add build numbers for 6.2.8 and 6.3.3'), and the Solution table no longer shows any ETA, so the fixed GlobalProtect builds are now listed as available. The fix target moved on Windows and macOS: 6.3.0 through 6.3.3-h15 is affected and the fix is 6.3.3-h16 (build 6.3.3-1199) or later, and 6.2.0 through 6.2.8-h14 is affected with the fix in 6.2.8-h15 (build 6.2.8-1084) or later. Anyone who installed 6.3.3-h15 on Windows or macOS expecting it to be the fix still needs to move to 6.3.3-h16. On Linux, 6.2.0 through 6.3.3-h14 is fixed in 6.3.3-h15 (build 6.3.3-c63). On all three desktop platforms, 6.0.0 through 6.0.14 is fixed in 6.0.15. iOS, Android and ChromeOS still need no action. Severity is unchanged (CVSS-B 8.5, CVSS-BT 5.9, exploit maturity unreported), there is no workaround, and Palo Alto Networks is still not aware of malicious exploitation. The PAN-OS and Prisma Access rows of the Solution table are unchanged.

UPDATE 23–24 Sep 2026: Check Point blog advisory and BleepingComputer confirm active exploitation of CVE-2026-85102 (pre-auth RCE in Security Gateway / Spark VPN certificate handling) beginning 12 September 2026 against Spark customers (anonymized VPN/proxy infra; observed cert subjects include CN=vpn / CN=vpn-user / CN=vpnuser under OU=users,O=global — list not exhaustive). CISA added CVE-2026-85102 to KEV on 22 Sep 2026 (due 25 Sep). Vendor disclosed + shipped fixes 9 Sep with no then-known exploitation; Dutch NCSC 12 Sep had assessed exploitation as imminent. Remediation: LivePatch Take 26 on supported R81.20/R82/R82.10 gateways, or Jumbo R81.20 Take 166 / R82 Take 126 / R82.10 Take 44 / R81.10 Take 190 or later; Spark R82.00.10 Build 2325 or R81.10.17 Build 4968+. Same advisory wave also covers Management CVE-2026-93616 (separate desk card; KEV 22 Sep). Primary: Check Point sk1000117; vendor blog 23 Sep; wire: BleepingComputer 23 Sep 2026.

CERT/CC and BleepingComputer (9 September 2026) warn that Skullcandy Dime 3 earbuds (model S2DCW) on firmware 1.0.0.28 accept Bluetooth pairing from nearby unpaired devices without user interaction, PIN, or case access. Issue tracked as CVE-2025-20701 in the Airoha Bluetooth Audio SDK. Skullcandy says fixed in firmware 1.0.0.30, but end users have no supported update path via the Skullcandy app. Nearby attacker can hijack the audio link. Broader Airoha-based headset class affected per ERNW/TROOPERS research. Primary wire: BleepingComputer citing CERT/CC.
Wiz Research (Amitai Cohen & Yaara Shriki, 9 September 2026; also THN same day) scanned ~3,074 internet-facing LiteLLM AI gateways: 294 (9.6%) accepted the docs/Docker default master key sk-1234 or required no authentication (191 of those had no key at all). Default/missing master key grants admin and exposes every configured LLM provider API key (LLMjacking), and can chain to post-auth custom-code-guardrail RCE CVE-2026-59821 (fixed v1.82.0) for root-in-container when still on vulnerable builds. Same research covers MCP auth bypass CVE-2026-59822 (already on this desk; CISA KEV; Wiz honeypot exploitation). LiteLLM still ships sk-1234 as the example/default in common install paths. Mitigate: set a unique strong master key immediately; upgrade past 1.82.0/1.84.0; review custom guardrails and pass-through endpoints. Category tech (AI gateway stack). Primary: Wiz; wire: THN. Distinct card from cve-2026-59822.
The Hacker News (9 September 2026) reports Alby warned of a critical flaw in self-hosted Alby Hub (Lightning bitcoin wallet) that could let an attacker take over a wallet and send funds — only where the Hub management interface was reachable from the internet. Affected: v1.7.0 through v1.18.5 (pre-August 2025 builds); fixed from v1.19.0 (first fixed release 29 August 2025); current recommended v1.24.0. Alby says one user affected so far; technical details withheld pending responsible disclosure. Guidance: remove external reachability first (e.g. bind 127.0.0.1), then upgrade; if exposed on an affected build, change unlock password after update and contact security@getalby.com. Primary wire: THN citing Alby; releases: GitHub getAlby/hub.
BleepingComputer (9 September 2026) reports anonymous researcher Nightmare Eclipse released a ShieldCrash proof-of-concept against Microsoft Defender immediately after September 2026 Patch Tuesday. The researcher claims ShieldCrash bypasses the ShieldBreak elevation issue patched as CVE-2026-69414 and demonstrates arbitrary file read as SYSTEM on fully patched Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server, without write access to the compromised system. ShieldBreak itself followed RoguePlanet (disclosed June, patched July). Microsoft had not commented to BleepingComputer at publish. Treat as a local privilege-escalation research drop / incomplete patch claim — not a remote wormable CVE. No Australian exploitation signal on this pass. Primary: BleepingComputer.
SecurityWeek (9 September 2026) summarises Fortinet's Tuesday patch set of ten vulnerabilities. Critical CVE-2026-84390 (CVSS 9.6) is inclusion of sensitive information in source code on the FortiMonitorOnSight web portal — a remote unauthenticated attacker can bypass authentication via a forged or reused JWT. Critical CVE-2026-84388 (CVSS 9.1) is improper authentication in the Fortinet Privileged Access Agent Chrome extension — a remote unauthenticated attacker can proxy a victim's browser traffic if the user visits a malicious site. Fortinet says full remediation needs FortiPAM 1.9.1 or 1.8.4 plus Chrome extension 8.0.1.123 or newer. Same batch includes high issues in FortiSandbox (CVE-2026-26084) and FortiOS/FortiProxy. Primary wire: SecurityWeek; confirm builds on FortiGuard PSIRT.
Cisco PSIRT advisory cisco-sa-onprem-fmc-authbypass-5JPp45V2 covers CVE-2026-20079, a maximum-severity (CVSS 10.0) authentication-bypass in Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC) and related management paths. Improper process creation at boot lets an unauthenticated remote attacker send crafted HTTP requests to the web interface and execute scripts/commands as root. Cisco updated the advisory on 9 September 2026 to state PSIRT became aware of active exploitation in August 2026 (no public attribution or start date). Cloud-hosted Security Cloud Control is already patched per Cisco; on-prem FMC has no workaround — upgrade to a fixed release. BleepingComputer (9 Sep) notes CISA added CVE-2026-20079 to the KEV catalog with FCEB remediation due 12 September 2026. Hunt guidance from related July FMC coverage includes /var/log/messages activity around /var/tmp/license.tmp. Distinct from desk cards cisco-esa-iosxr-20260902 and cisco-sd-wan-2026. Primary: Cisco PSIRT; wire: BleepingComputer. NEW 10 September 2026 (Cisco Talos “Active exploitation of Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center vulnerabilities”; BleepingComputer same day): Talos tracks three post-compromise clusters on FMC — UAT-11988 (high confidence Qilin ransomware affiliates), UAT-11823 (high confidence APT tooling overlap with Sandworm / Cyclops Blink deployment), and UAT-12197 (state-sponsored/crimeware mix). Actors abused CVE-2026-20079 and companion CVE-2026-20316 (static low-privileged credentials; CVSS 5.3 per wire, Cisco High because it chains with other FMC bugs) to plant web shells, steal AD/MySQL credentials, stand up SOCKS5/SSH tunnels, and in one cluster deploy Qilin ransomware. At the time, Talos advised installing Cisco's hot fixes for both CVEs and said a comprehensive hardening package was forthcoming. Distinct companion CVE covered here rather than a sibling card. UPDATE (26 Oct 2026): Cisco's advisory (version 2.6, 16 September 2026) replaced the hot fixes with security hardening releases that fix this flaw and other internally found ones: first fixed releases are 7.0.10 (for 7.0 and earlier), 7.2.12, 7.4.8, 7.6.6, 7.7.13, 10.0.2 and 10.1.0. Cisco recommends upgrading to the hardening release for your train. (source: Cisco Security Advisory cisco-sa-onprem-fmc-authbypass-5JPp45V2)
Palo Alto Networks security advisory CVE-2026-0310 (published 9 September 2026): buffer overflow in PAN-OS XML processing lets an unauthenticated network attacker with access to the management web or dataplane interface cause DoS on VM-Series firewalls or execute arbitrary code as root on PA-Series. Vendor severity 7.2 HIGH; urgency HIGHEST; exploit maturity UNREPORTED. Panorama is impacted. Risk is reduced when management is restricted to trusted internal IPs per Palo Alto best practice. Fixed builds include PAN-OS 12.2.3; 12.1.4-h10 / 12.1.7-h5 / 12.1.10; 11.2.4-h21 / 11.2.7-h20 / 11.2.10-h14 / 11.2.13-h2; 11.1.4-h36 / 11.1.6-h38 / 11.1.7-h10 / 11.1.10-h33 / 11.1.13-h12 / 11.1.16-h2; 10.2.7-h37 / 10.2.10-h40 / 10.2.13-h24 / 10.2.16-h10 / 10.2.18-h10 (confirm against the live advisory for your branch). Prisma Access / Cloud NGFW called medium severity on the same advisory and are scheduled for maintenance upgrades. Primary: Palo Alto Networks advisory.
SecurityWeek (9 September 2026) reports Schneider Electric, Siemens, AVEVA, and Rockwell September ICS Patch Tuesday advisories. Schneider published four new advisories and updated four older ones: most severe new issue is critical authentication vulnerability CVE-2026-3869 (CVSS 9.2) in Modicon M580 and Modicon M580 Safety controllers; also high-severity fixes in PowerLogic T300 / Easergy T300 RTU and EcoStruxure IT Data Center Expert, and a medium issue in SCADAPack x70; MC80 patches added to older advisories. Siemens issued nine new advisories (seven on 8 Sep) including critical issues in Reyrolle 7SR5, Open Interface Services, Industrial Edge Management, and SIMOVE Fleetmanager/SIPLANT, plus Copy Fail Linux kernel CVE-2026-31431 (CVSS 7.8) updates. AVEVA PIMBoards/Enterprise SCADA and Rockwell RSLinx/FactoryTalk/CompactLogix advisories also in the same window. Schneider Electric's notifications index returned HTTP 403 from this desk pass — wire URL is primary until the SEVD pages are reachable. OT/ICS operators should pull vendor bulletins and patch by asset criticality.
OX Research (8 September 2026): CVE-2026-82533 (CWE-807) in DeepSeek Harness (dsh) before 0.1.2-alpha.1. The local agent-control HTTP API trusted only the client-supplied Host header, not the TCP peer. The OS sandbox confined file writes but left loopback networking open, so a sandboxed agent could curl the API, set danger-full-access / approval never, and run unconfined — on shipped defaults, with no credentials. If the port was reachable via tunnel/proxy/SSH forward, an unauthenticated remote attacker could control the agent and export stored conversations. CVSS 4.0 9.4 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H) and CVSS 3.1 9.6, per the CVE record. Reported 24 Aug; fixed in 0.1.2-alpha.1 (27 Aug); CVE published 8 Sep. npm package @deepseek-ai/dsh — install 0.1.2-alpha.2+ / current rc. Primary: OX Research; also the CVE record and THN.
