Hackers Target Critical Oracle E-Business Suite RCE Flaw Days After Security Patch
Threat intelligence providers report immediate exploitation probes targeting a freshly patched critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) flaw within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS). Because enterprise ERP architectures sit at the core of business logic and maintain high privileges over internal databases, the speed at which threat actors weaponize these advisories highlights the failure of traditional remediation timelines. Adversaries are heavily utilizing automated scanning frameworks to discover unpatched instances.
Critical 16-Year-Old UEFI Flaw Can Run Code Before Secure Boot on Network-Booting Servers
A profound architectural weakness spanning 16 years within EDK II—the foundational open-source UEFI firmware codebase used ubiquitously by hardware manufacturers—has been exposed. The flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to execute malicious code prior to the initialization of the operating system's Secure Boot checks, effectively subverting the hardware root of trust on network-booting enterprise servers.
Widespread PHP Flaw May Cause Many Site Outages Today
Nearly 70 percent of global websites running core PHP configurations face immediate operational disruptions and security risks following the disclosure of a severe pair of vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, dubbed 'PHP2Shell'). The flaw allows remote code execution directly via web entry points, forcing site administrators into emergency patching cycles that risk widespread configuration-induced outages.
MythicRatatoskr: An Yggdrasil-enabled backdoor deployed in a UAC-0099-Sandworm collaboration
ESET researchers have detailed a joint cyberattack operation involving state-sponsored entities UAC-0099 and Sandworm against critical infrastructure in Ukraine. The attack featured a novel Go-based backdoor, 'MythicRatatoskr', which ingeniously hides its Command and Control (C2) infrastructure inside the decentralized Yggdrasil encrypted mesh network, severely complicating traditional perimeter network monitoring and sinkholing efforts.
The phone was compromised before the user turned it on: the rise of Midnight Mimosa
Bitdefender analysts exposed a supply chain threat vector dubbed 'Midnight Mimosa', where low-cost, multi-brand Android hardware running on MediaTek chipsets arrived pre-infected with persistence mechanisms and unauthorized malware packages straight out of the box, illustrating deep-tier manufacturing and distribution supply chain compromises.
