• Ransomware Gangs Go After EMEA Healthcare’s Supply Chain
  "A ransomware attack against a hospital makes headlines, while attacks on the rest of the ecosystem around it tend to stay quiet despite doing damage that can be just as bad. Flare researcher Assaf Morag analyzed ransomware leak-site activity tied to healthcare organizations in the EMEA region between 2024 and 2026, and found that ransomware groups are going after the entire healthcare supply chain."

Vulnerabilities

• Fastjson RCE (≤1.2.83): Active Exploitation Detected — Detection & Mitigation
  "A remote code execution vulnerability in Fastjson affects every version up to and including 1.2.83. A remote attacker can run arbitrary code on a vulnerable server by sending it specially crafted JSON — no user privileges, no victim interaction, and no third-party libraries required. ThreatBook TDP (Threat Detection Platform) has already captured this vulnerability being exploited in the wild, so if you run an affected version without SafeMode enabled, treat remediation as urgent."

• Default Azure Automation Setting Enables Cross-Tenant Identity Takeover
  "A critical vulnerability in Microsoft's Azure Automation service could have exposed accounts to cross-tenant identity takeovers due to a default setting that had the potential to make account identities become public. Azure Automation is widely used by Microsoft internally and by enterprises running Azure for DevOps, resource deployment, patching, and secrets rotation using scripted runbooks tied to embedded managed identities. Shay Shavit, a senior security researcher on Microsoft's Azure Networking Security Research team, discovered the vulnerability last year and reported it to the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC), which issued an advisory."

• Tego AI Discloses Second Claude Flaw In a Week: Hidden Link Silently Sends Files To Attackers
  "One week after disclosing that Anthropic’s Claude Tag Slack integration could be driven by plain “@Claude” text, Tego AI today published a second piece of research on the Claude ecosystem. This one focuses on Claude Code, Anthropic’s agentic command-line coding tool. Cloning an ordinary repository and starting Claude Code can cause the tool to read a file from outside the project and include it in the model’s first request, without a warning or approval prompt the user would recognize."

• Certighost Exploit Lets Low-Privileged Active Directory Users Impersonate a Domain Controller
  "Researchers H0j3n and Aniq Fakhrul published a working exploit on July 24 that lets a low-privileged Active Directory user obtain a certificate for a Domain Controller and authenticate as that machine. They codenamed the flaw Certighost. Because Domain Controller accounts carry directory replication rights, the resulting Kerberos credential can retrieve the krbtgt secret through DCSync. Microsoft patched the Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) issue ten days earlier as CVE-2026-54121. Microsoft classed the flaw as improper authorization and assigned it a CVSS score of 8.8."

  "A crafted SVG submitted to Bing's image search ran commands as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM on Microsoft's production image-processing workers, and as root on the Linux machines in the same fleet. XBOW's testing got the same result on workers across different hosts and network ranges, so the problem sat in Bing's image tier, not on one bad machine. Microsoft issued two critical CVEs, CVE-2026-32194 and CVE-2026-32191, and rated both 9.8 on the CVSS scale."

• Finding Eight High-Severity Vulnerabilities In NodeBB In Six Hours
  "While improving our AI Pentest, we ran a whitebox assessment on NodeBB, a forum software powered by NodeJS. The result? Eight high-severity vulnerabilities that would all be exploitable on default instances of NodeBB. This includes Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), two of which require interaction with a custom Federation server that the AI agent had to set up itself. Another affects practically every input on NodeBB due to a template injection. Apart from these issues, there were clever authorization bypasses to hijack and read various data that shouldn't be public. We've explained all of the interesting technical details below."

  "Redis shipped seven security releases on July 23 after researchers published authenticated RCE PoCs for stock Redis 6.2.22, 7.4.9, 8.6.4, and 8.8.0. All four chains require RESTORE. The Streams chains also need EVAL and XGROUP; the 8.8.0 chain needs EVAL and the bundled RedisBloom module. Redis says the underlying memory flaws may lead to remote code execution."

• Researcher Publishes GitLab RCE PoC Letting Authenticated Users Run Commands As Git
  "Security researchers depthfirst published working exploit code on July 24 for a GitLab flaw that GitLab patched six weeks earlier, on June 10. It runs commands as git on any self-managed 18.11.3 server that has not taken the update. Any authenticated user who can push to a project can run it. The attacker commits a crafted Jupyter notebook and opens its commit diff, which leaks a heap pointer. Enough of those and an automated probe can locate the libraries in memory. Two more notebooks then fire the payload. No administrator rights, no CI or runner access, no victim interaction, no access to anyone else's project."

• Clop Ransomware Targets Windchill, FlexPLM In Data Theft Attacks
  "The Clop ransomware gang (also tracked as Cl0p) is targeting Internet-exposed PTC Windchill and FlexPLM instances in a new data theft extortion campaign. Clop has reportedly been exploiting a critical improper input validation vulnerability tracked as CVE-2026-12569, which allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable Windchill and FlexPLM instances. As cybersecurity company ReliaQuest reported on Thursday, Clop operators have been deploying JSP webshells that allow them to exfiltrate sensitive data from targeted companies' compromised PLM platforms."

  "Adversaries have been compromising public Wi-Fi gateways at hotels, conference centers, and other shared venues to hijack the accounts of traveling corporate employees. Once they control the Wi-Fi gateway, they quietly redirect users to attacker-controlled infrastructure to steal credentials, in activity ongoing since at least June 2026. ReliaQuest assesses this tradecraft is similar to that of “APT28” (also known as “Fancy Bear” and “Forest Blizzard”), a Russian military intelligence group that was previously linked to similar router-based campaigns compromising Microsoft 365 accounts."

• Operation RoundPress Rolls On With More Half-Click Webmail Zero-Days From TA458
  "TA458 is an espionage threat actor with prolific access to “half-click” cross-site scripting (XSS) exploits in webmail software. TA458 is likely aligned with Russia’s General Staff Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU). In March 2026, Proofpoint discovered TA458 exploiting a zero-day vulnerability in the SOGo webmail platform, which we reported to the vendor, Alinto; it was patched as CVE-2026-8496 in version 5.12.8. TA458 primarily targets Ukrainian government and Eastern European military and government entities across Albania, Greece, Moldova, and Türkiye, with occasional targeting of chemical, telecommunications, and technology firms. TA458 continues to use SpyPress - an obfuscated JavaScript-based malware seen in Operation RoundPress - which the adversary modifies based on the targeted mailserver."

• The Signs Were There: What The First Autonomous Ransomware Case Confirms
  "Ransomware has always had a person behind it. Someone picks the target, buys or builds the access, runs the tools, and extorts the victim for a payout. However, in an intrusion documented this month by the security firm Sysdig and dubbed JADEPUFFER, no one did. By their account, a large language model (LLM) agent broke into a live production system, harvested credentials, moved deeper, encrypted a database, destroyed the originals, and left a ransom note. It was choosing and sequencing every step itself in near real time, with no human at the keyboard between the break-in and the damage."

  "SourTrade is a malvertising operation that has been running ads since late 2024, impersonating TradingView, Solana, and Luno to reach retail traders and crypto investors across 12 countries in 25 languages. It is built to separate real targets from analysts and bots. Security researchers see a blank page, legitimate victims see a convincing replica of a platform they trust. What makes SourTrade technically distinct is what happens on its landing page. It does not distribute finished malware. Instead, it delivers assembly instructions to the victim’s browser, retrieves a clean legitimate file from separate infrastructure, and directs the browser to build the final malware in memory on the victim’s machine. No finished malware ever exists on the network."

• The KEV Gap: How Fast Do Exploited Bugs Get Flagged?
  "The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) keeps a public list called the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, or KEV: the security bugs it has confirmed attackers are actually using. U.S. federal agencies must patch everything on the list by a deadline, and many private security teams use it as their top fix-first queue. Each bug on the list has two dates: the day it was first published as a Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE), and the day CISA added it to KEV. The days between those two dates are the “KEV gap.” A common worry is that the gap is growing; that it takes longer and longer to flag a dangerous bug. It doesn’t. For new bugs, CISA is fast: the typical gap is about nine days, and nearly half are flagged within a week. The long delays you see in the raw numbers come from a separate group: old bugs, published years ago, that attackers have started using again."
