Key Findings: Chinese-speaking threat actors leveraged a compromised SonicWall VPN appliance as an initial access vector to deploy a VMware ESXi exploit toolkit. The toolkit targeted up to 155 ESXi builds and enabled virtual machine (VM) escape via disabled VMCI drivers and unsigned kernel drivers, potentially paving the way for a ransomware attack. The exploit chain included a sophisticated VM escape and appears to have been developed more than a year before the related VMwa

The vulnerability is due to improper parsing of XML that is processed by the web-based management

Key Findings A critical vulnerability (CVE-2026-21858, CVSS score of 10.0) has been discovered in the n8n workflow automation platform, dubbed "Ni8mare" by researchers. The flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to fully compromise affected n8n instances, exposing sensitive data and potentially leading to further system compromise. The vulnerability affects all versions of n8n prior to and including 1.65.0, and it was fixed in n8n version 1.121.0 in November 2025. Background n

Key Findings: Veeam has released security updates to address critical vulnerabilities in its Backup & Replication software, including a flaw with a CVSS score of 9.0 that could allow remote code execution (RCE). The most severe vulnerability, CVE-2025-59470 (CVSS 9.0), enables a Backup or Tape Operator to achieve RCE as the postgres user by sending a malicious interval or order parameter. Three other vulnerabilities, CVE-2025-55125 (CVSS 7.2), CVE-2025-59469 (CVSS 7.2), and C

Key Findings Threat actors are exploiting misconfigured email routing and spoof protection to impersonate organizations' internal domains and distribute phishing emails. These phishing campaigns leverage phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) platforms like Tycoon 2FA, delivering a variety of lures related to voicemails, shared documents, HR communications, and password resets. The attack vector is not new, but Microsoft has observed a surge in its usage since May 2025, targeting a wi

Key Findings Hackers are actively exploiting a critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability, CVE-2026-0625 (CVSS score: 9.3), in legacy D-Link DSL routers. The flaw is an improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS Command, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands. The vulnerable endpoint, dnscfg.cgi, is also associated with unauthenticated DNS modification ("DNSChanger") behavior documented by D-Link. Exploi
