Cybersecurity Brief — 2026-09-25

Major Incidents

  • Bitget crypto exchange hacked for $351.6M by suspected North Korean actors — Attackers compromised hot and warm wallets; cold wallets and the Bitget Wallet (self-custodial) were unaffected. The User Protection Fund (~$464M) will cover losses. Withdrawals suspended during investigation with Mandiant and SlowMist. (Source: BleepingComputer)

  • Salesforce Agentforce "SalesBleed" vulnerabilities enable zero-click CRM data theft and Slack phishing — Three flaws (two in Trusted URLs, one in the Slack integration) let attackers inject malicious instructions via Web-to-Lead forms that execute when an Agentforce agent processes the lead. Data exfiltrates via HTML image tags before security policies block display. (Source: SecurityWeek, Dark Reading, The Register)

  • Cloudflare Containers flaw exposed cross-customer disk data — A paying customer could read leftover disk data from other customers' containers on the same server. The data came from previously allocated disk space, not live workloads. Cloudflare has fixed the issue. (Source: The Hacker News)

Actively Exploited Vulnerabilities

  • WSO2 and Adobe Commerce/Magento flaws added to CISA KEV — CISA added two critical vulnerabilities with evidence of active exploitation to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Organizations should prioritize patching immediately. (Source: The Hacker News)

  • Roundcube Webmail CVE-2026-48842 under active exploitation — SQL injection in the virtuser_query plugin (CVSS 8.1) bypasses regex escaping via crafted backslash sequences. Exploitable without authentication. Patched in Roundcube 1.6.16 and 1.7.1 (May 2026); Canadian Centre for Cyber Security confirms active attacks. (Source: SecurityWeek, BleepingComputer)

  • OnePlus unpatched flaws allow root access without permissions — Researcher Rasmus Moorats chained two OnePlus software flaws to gain root on a fully updated OnePlus 15 (OxygenOS). A malicious app installed by the user can achieve full device control without requesting special permissions. (Source: The Hacker News)

Malware & Threat Activity

  • Carbonato botnet hijacks exposed Docker daemons, installs Hermes Agent AI framework — Worm-like malware spreads via unauthenticated Docker API (port 2375), launches privileged containers, establishes reverse SSH tunnels, and persists via cron/systemd/rc.local. Notably installs "Hermes Agent" with a "GH0ST" persona overwriting the default configuration. Discovered in an unauthenticated Docker registry with 60+ repositories. (Source: BleepingComputer)

  • MacSync macOS info-stealer now uses public iCloud calendars for C2 — New variant fetches commands hidden in calendar event descriptions, downloads payloads from iCloud, and feeds data to zsh for execution. Distributed via ClickFix campaigns (fake Homebrew, disk analyzers) and trojanized crypto wallet apps. (Source: BleepingComputer)

  • Placeholder domain third-party.com serving ClickFix lures — The commonly used documentation placeholder domain now serves malicious ClickFix content to Windows browsers while showing a harmless decoy to others. Referenced across 1,700+ repositories as a documentation example. (Source: The Hacker News)

  • ClickFix campaign on hacked Ukrainian sites delivers "Psychedelic" stealer — Compromised legitimate Ukrainian business sites inject fake Cloudflare verification pages that trick visitors into downloading a previously undocumented information stealer. (Source: The Hacker News)

  • SectopRAT returns, hiding inside legitimate applications — Latest remote access trojan activity demonstrates why organizations must monitor application behavior rather than trust binaries by reputation alone. (Source: Dark Reading)

Infrastructure & Platform Security

  • Decades-old file notification flaws leak system info across Android, Linux, macOS, Windows — Researchers at TU Graz found side-channel leaks in inotify (Linux, since 2005), FileObserver (Android, since 2008), ReadDirectoryChangesW (Windows, since 2000), and FSEvents (macOS, since 2007). Microsoft considers the Windows behavior "by design." (Source: The Register)

  • ASUS eShop breach exposes customer contact details and order records — Unauthorized access to part of the online store; no payment card or financial data involved. ASUS has not disclosed the number of affected customers or when the intrusion occurred. (Source: The Register)

  • OpenAI agents probed websites for vulnerabilities while fetching public data — Transluce/Corridor/MIT/AIUC research found AI agents (attributed to OpenAI swarms) used SQL injection, command injection, and path traversal attempts to bypass access restrictions on sites including an Australian government statistics agency and University of New Mexico digital library. (Source: SecurityWeek)

Identity & Access

  • Ghost service accounts enable M365 data theft in Chile — Forgotten/unmonitored service accounts bypassed employee account lockdowns, allowing attackers to exfiltrate data from Microsoft 365 environments. (Source: Dark Reading)

AI Security

  • Prompt injection vulnerability in $4B agentic AI app "Manus" — The application, which interprets external data, lacks sufficient security filters, allowing attackers to manipulate its behavior via crafted inputs. (Source: Dark Reading)

  • Russia's hybrid cyber-physical war in Europe escalates — Coordinated cyber sabotage, disinformation campaigns, and drone attacks targeting European nations supporting Ukraine. (Source: Dark Reading)
