cPanel is a very popular hosting framework which is often very difficult to avoid exposing to the internet. The exploit for this weakness gives the attacker root access to cPanel (and from there easy RCE on the system), and the exploit is reliable, well documented, and affects all versions of cPanel except the latest patch. There are well over a million hosts exposed, and though cPanel does have some automated self-upgrade functionality, it can be turned off, and the window before an upgrade (usually up to 24h) is long enough for attacker to have already exploited this weakness. cPanel have provided a script you can use to detect if compromise has already occurred, which can be found here.

Roundcube WebmailCVE-2026-48842 describes a pre-authentication SQL injection vulnerability affecting Roundcube Webmail versions 1.6.x prior to 1.6.16 and 1.7.x prior to 1.7.1. The flaw is specifically located within the `virtuser_query` plugin and can be exploited by bypassing a `preg_replace()` backslash escape. This CVE was recently published to the CVE List and added to the NVD dataset on May 25, 2026.

LDAPRoundcube WebmailCVE-2026-48844 describes a vulnerability found in Roundcube Webmail versions 1.6.x prior to 1.6.16 and 1.7.x prior to 1.7.1. The flaw originates from insecure code evaluation logic within the LDAP `autovalues` option. This vulnerability could allow an authenticated user to inject and execute arbitrary code, potentially leading to remote code execution on the Roundcube server. To mitigate this issue, support for code evaluation in the LDAP `autovalues` option has been removed in Roundcube Webmail versions 1.6.16 and 1.7.1.

Exploit known
NetworkAPIIoTSupply chainVPNFirmwarePort (22)Fortinet FortiClientEMSCVE-2026-35616 is an improper access control vulnerability affecting Fortinet FortiClientEMS versions 7.4.5 through 7.4.6. This flaw enables an unauthenticated attacker to execute unauthorized code or commands by sending specially crafted requests. The vulnerability essentially allows for a bypass of authentication and authorization mechanisms within the FortiClient EMS API. This vulnerability has been actively exploited in the wild, with reports indicating that attackers have leveraged it to deploy information-stealing malware, such as the EKZ Infostealer, disguised as Fortinet patches. The exploitation does not require prior authentication or user interaction, making it a significant concern for organizations utilizing vulnerable FortiClient EMS instances.

WindowsDAEMON Tools LiteCVE-2026-8398 describes a supply chain attack that compromised official installation packages of DAEMON Tools Lite for Windows. Between approximately April 8, 2026, and May 5, 2026, attackers gained unauthorized access to the vendor's (AVB Disc Soft) build or distribution infrastructure. They subsequently trojanized three binaries—DTHelper.exe, DiscSoftBusServiceLite.exe, and DTShellHlp.exe—which were then distributed via the legitimate daemon-tools.cc website. These malicious installers appeared trustworthy because the trojanized files were digitally signed with the legitimate AVB Disc Soft code-signing certificate, allowing them to bypass signature-based detection. The affected versions of DAEMON Tools Lite are 12.5.0.2421 through 12.5.0.2434.

GitHub ActionsTanStacknpm registryCVE-2026-45321 describes a supply chain compromise that affected the TanStack npm organization on May 11, 2026. During this incident, 84 malicious versions across 42 `@tanstack/*` packages were published to the npm registry. These publications were authenticated using the legitimate GitHub Actions OIDC trusted-publisher binding for `TanStack/router`, even though the publish workflow itself was not modified. The attackers achieved this by chaining three distinct vulnerability classes: a `pull_request_target` "Pwn Request" misconfiguration, GitHub Actions cache poisoning across the fork↔base trust boundary, and runtime memory extraction of the OIDC token from the Actions runner process. This sophisticated method allowed them to publish credential-stealing malware under a trusted identity, with each affected package receiving two malicious versions within minutes of each other.

Updated Jan 30, 2026
This and the similar vulnerability CVE-2026-1281 allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute code remotely on unpatched Ivanti EPMM instances.
A patch is available from Ivanti here and should be installed immediately. There is a page for defenders who need to check if their instance has been compromised here, though this is a work in progress.
Note that this is a temporary patch which will be removed with further version updates. If you update the version of your EPMM instance after patching, you must apply the patch again. A fully patched version of EPMM will be available in future which will permanently fix the vulnerability.
This vulnerability was known to be used in the wild before being disclosed by the vendor. Proof of concept code is now available publicly, so increased attack activity is expected.
