Cisco disclosed active exploitation of CVE-2026-76461 in Secure Email Gateway, while UTA0560 used a Chrome-Windows exploit chain against NGOs and attackers exploited TeamCity to reach AWS data. CISA also added five exploited flaws affecting JFrog Artifactory, ConnectWise ScreenConnect and MikroTik RouterOS to its catalog.
CVE-2026-76461 allows unauthenticated root command execution in Cisco AsyncOS. Cisco has released fixed versions, and CISA set a September 17, 2026 remediation deadline for federal agencies after adding the vulnerability to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
Attackers are converting infrastructure flaws into privileged access and sensitive data. The TeamCity breach exposed AWS IAM credentials and S3 data, Artifactory attacks extracted credentials and CI/CD secrets, and exploitation of a VPN flaw may have exposed roughly 246,000 Japanese government personnel records.

Editorial: Recommended Actions

01
PRIORITY
Upgrade Cisco Secure Email Gateway appliances to a fixed AsyncOS release immediately. CVE-2026-76461 is under active exploitation and allows unauthenticated root command execution; CISA has added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog and set a September 17, 2026 federal remediation deadline.
02
PRIORITY
Update Google Chrome on Windows and verify managed endpoints received the fix for CVE-2026-85046. UTA0560 used the BlueMoon browser-to-kernel chain against NGOs to deploy GRIMWEDGE, while APT31 reportedly used the same chain to install LONGTALE; multiple espionage groups are sharing or rapidly acquiring this capability.
03
PRIORITY
Patch TeamCity on-premises and the affected plugin, then rotate AWS IAM credentials accessible through TeamCity or its backups. CVE-2026-63077 is a CVSS 9.8 unauthenticated remote-code-execution flaw that attackers exploited to access JetBrains Cadence backup data, AWS credentials and Amazon S3 content.
04
PRIORITY
Remove Vite development servers from public exposure and upgrade affected installations to Vite 8.0.5 or later. Attackers are exploiting CVE-2026-39364 through the @fs endpoint to obtain sensitive files; F5 observed more than 800 attacks and roughly 32,000 events in one month, with AWS, Azure, Terraform and Serverless secrets at risk.
05
PRIORITY
Take programmable logic controllers off the public internet and review exposed ICS and OT systems for changed credentials, altered addresses, disabled devices or valve manipulation. An active global campaign is targeting internet-exposed PLCs, and observed incidents have caused device lockouts, boil-water advisories, manual operations and limited municipal water-distribution effects.
