  • SAP Kernel — Memory Corruption → RCE (unauthenticated) — SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP / ABAP Platform, CVE-2026-27671, CVSS 9.8 🔴
    Unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted RFC request exploiting memory-management logic errors → stack-based buffer overflow → crash, data access, or arbitrary code execution. Restrict RFC exposure and patch.

  • Windows Kernel — Use-After-Free RCE — Windows 11 / Server, CVE-2026-45657, CVSS 9.8 🔴
    Critical network-reachable RCE in the Windows Kernel (use-after-free); fixed in the June updates. Prioritize deployment to endpoints and servers.
    Windows Forum

  • Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager — Path Traversal (in the wild) — Cisco, CVE-2026-20262 🔴🔥⚠️
    Directory/path-traversal added to CISA KEV on 06-15 amid active exploitation. Patch and audit SD-WAN Manager appliances.
    CISA KEV (6/15)

  • Apache Flink — Code-Gen Engine SQL Injection → RCE — Apache Flink, CVE-2026-35194 🔴
    High-severity SQL injection in Flink's code-generation engine can expose distributed data-processing clusters to remote code execution. Patch and restrict job-submission surfaces.

AI Security

  • OWASP GenAI v2.01 — "State of Agentic AI Security and Governance"(June 11) — documents multiple critical agentic flaws, including CVE-2026-2256, a command-injection in ModelScope's MS-Agent whose shell tool fails to sanitize commands.
    arXiv survey
  • Prompt injection framed as a permanent, architectural flaw— LLMs have no built-in way to separate trusted commands from untrusted data (both arrive as the same token stream); newer models (GPT-5.x, Gemini, Claude, Grok) remain susceptible. Resource-amplification lets one injected instruction trigger thousands of agent actions.
    TechTimes
  • AI-integrated malware enters the mainstream (Mandiant)— PROMPTFLUX and PROMPTSTEAL query LLMs at runtime; PROMPTFLUX (VBScript dropper) uses the Gemini API to rewrite its own source hourly; PROMPTSTEAL attributed to APT28.
    Google Cloud / M-Trends 2026

Threat Intelligence

  • Mandiant M-Trends 2026— built on 500,000+ hours of frontline IR. Malware roles: backdoors 36%, downloaders 11%, ransomware 10%, droppers 10%, credential stealers 9%; 714 new malware familiestracked in 2025 (up from 632). Adversary pacing diverges — criminals optimize for speed, espionage groups for persistence.
    Google Cloud
  • DragonForce — 'Backdoor.Turn'— custom malware hides command-and-control traffic inside Microsoft Teams relay infrastructure to blend with trusted traffic.
    BleepingComputer
  • "The Gentlemen" ransomware— now the second-most-active gang by victim count; aggressive affiliate recruitment (90% ransom cut); claims 478 victims(analysis 06-11).
    BleepingComputer
  • ShinyHunters → 7-Eleven— breached a 7-Eleven system holding franchise data; over 600,000 Salesforce records and franchise PII reportedly stolen.
