CVE-2026-45659 in Microsoft SharePoint Server is under active exploitation, and CISA has added the critical deserialization RCE to its known-exploited catalog with a July 4, 2026 federal patch deadline. The same threat surface now includes targeted Android privilege-escalation attacks, open-source package poisoning, agentic ransomware, and credential-theft campaigns against government and power-sector targets.
Rescana links the SharePoint exploitation to financially motivated and ransomware activity including Storm-2603. Observed follow-on activity includes Velociraptor, Cloudflare Tunnels, Zoho Assist, SSH through Visual Studio Code, custom malware, and attempts to disable security tools, making exposed SharePoint systems a priority for patching, hunting, and incident review.
North Korean operators are pushing malicious packages and browser extensions into developer ecosystems, JADEPUFFER is using Langflow exploitation to steal cloud credentials and deploy ransomware, and Armored Likho is delivering BusySnake Stealer against government and electric power targets. The pressure points are familiar: exposed enterprise software, trusted developer workflows, mobile platforms, and identity stores.

Editorial: Recommended Actions

01
PRIORITY
Patch Microsoft SharePoint Server against CVE-2026-45659 immediately and treat exposed servers as potentially compromised until reviewed. CISA added the critical unsafe-deserialization RCE to KEV and ordered federal remediation by July 4, 2026, while exploitation is already linked to financially motivated and ransomware activity including Storm-2603. Hunt for post-exploitation signs involving Velociraptor, Cloudflare Tunnels, Zoho Assist, SSH via Visual Studio Code, custom malware, and attempts to disable security tools.
02
PRIORITY
Remove internet-exposed Langflow systems from direct access and remediate CVE-2025-3248 before restoring service. JADEPUFFER reportedly used the unauthenticated Langflow RCE for initial access, stole API keys and cloud credentials, pivoted into exposed infrastructure, accessed MinIO storage with default credentials, abused CVE-2021-29441 in Alibaba Nacos to create rogue admin accounts, and encrypted 1,342 Nacos configuration items. Rotate credentials from affected environments and review Nacos, MinIO, MySQL, and cloud access paths for unauthorized changes.
03
PRIORITY
Audit developer workstations, CI/CD pipelines, GitHub repositories, npm, Packagist, Go module dependencies, and Chrome extensions for exposure to the North Korean PolinRider campaign. Rescana reports at least 108 malicious packages and browser extensions tied to Lazarus Group and APT37 activity, with compromised maintainer accounts, fake polyfill/Rollup-related tooling, force-pushed obfuscated loaders, and anti-dated commits. Developers and cryptocurrency workers should verify package provenance, review recent repository history, and rotate credentials where maintainer accounts or build systems may have been touched.
04
PRIORITY
Deploy Google’s June 2026 Android security update quickly, especially for managed fleets, executives, journalists, and other targeted users. The update fixes 124 Android vulnerabilities, including CVE-2025-48595 in the Android framework, which reportedly allows privilege escalation without user interaction and is being exploited in limited targeted attacks. Organizations should verify patch levels on Android 14, Android 15, and Android 16 QPR2 devices and prioritize devices using affected MediaTek and Qualcomm components where applicable.
05
PRIORITY
Government agencies and electric power operators in Russia, Kazakhstan, and Brazil should prioritize hunting for Armored Likho spear-phishing and BusySnake Stealer activity. Kaspersky attributes the active campaign to Armored Likho and says malicious archives deliver malware that harvests passwords, session cookies, OTP codes, and Telegram data. Patch CVE-2025-9491 where present, review scheduled tasks for persistence, and tighten handling of archive attachments in targeted mailboxes used by operational and administrative staff.
