R-Vision VM 6.6 Adds Container Scanning, Web Application Audits and Mobile Scanner for Isolated Networks
R-Vision has released version 6.6 of its R-Vision VM vulnerability management system, significantly expanding the product’s ability to discover vulnerabilities in web applications, container environments and previously inaccessible network segments.
The new web-audit module automatically detects and inventories web resources before searching for related vulnerabilities. While the company acknowledges that these capabilities remain basic and do not aim to replace specialized DAST tools, all discovered issues are now consolidated within the single R-Vision VM console alongside results from other scanning methods.
Container auditing now covers Docker and Kubernetes environments, including runtime analysis. The system collects data on the composition and current state of container infrastructure, identifies security issues and displays findings directly in the corresponding host card.
The standout feature of the release is a mobile scanner designed for closed network segments that the central R-Vision VM instance cannot reach. The component is installed on a standard laptop and operates without any additional servers. A specialist can travel to an isolated site, perform an audit and later upload the results to the main system.
The mobile scanner supports White Box, Black Box, Compliance and web-audit modes, performs full inventory and is rated for environments containing up to 2000 hosts. Primary use cases include critical information infrastructure facilities, remote branches, air-gapped networks, on-site audits and temporary projects.
Version 6.6 also extends inventory capabilities for ESXi, vCenter and network equipment, updates compliance checks, dashboards, automation policies and data export functions. Agents can now be updated directly from the web interface, and initial deployment is simplified by an installation wizard.

Unbound 1.26.1 Patches Critical DNSSEC Validator Flaw CVE-2026-81642 Enabling Remote Code Execution
NLnet Labs has released Unbound 1.26.1 to address CVE-2026-81642, a critical vulnerability in the DNSSEC validator that can cause service crashes and potential remote code execution. The flaw affects all versions up to and including 1.26.0 and is triggered when validating a malicious DNS zone. It resides in the handling of DNSKEY records, where a buffer overflow can occur during DNS response processing. The vulnerability carries a CVSS 4.0 score of 9.1 with a network attack vector, no privileges required, and no user interaction needed. Exploitation requires an attacker to control a malicious DNS zone that the resolver queries, which can lead to denial of service or RCE in the worst case. The update also includes fixes for eight additional security issues, including CVE-2026-82717 and CVE-2026-81634, both involving heap corruption.
BIND DNS Servers Receive Patches for 14 Vulnerabilities Including High-Severity DoS Flaws
The Internet Systems Consortium has released BIND 9 updates that address 14 vulnerabilities across multiple versions of the widely used DNS server software. Seven of the issues received a CVSS score of 7.5 and were rated high severity, while the remaining seven scored between 5.3 and 6.5. The most critical flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to crash the named process with a single malformed SIG(0) request over DNS over HTTPS. Additional vulnerabilities enable cache poisoning through forged NXDOMAIN responses, downgraded secure delegations, and acceptance of unsigned answers, as well as resource exhaustion via uncontrolled cache growth and excessive CPU consumption. Affected releases span BIND 9.11.0 through 9.18.50, 9.20.0 through 9.20.27, and 9.21.0 through 9.21.25. No workarounds exist, making immediate upgrades to versions 9.20.29, 9.21.26, or 9.20.29-S1 the only mitigation. The ISC reports no known exploitation in the wild and none of the flaws appear in CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
Cisco Patches 29 Vulnerabilities in Secure Firewall ASA, FTD and FMC Products
Cisco Systems has disclosed multiple vulnerabilities affecting its Cisco Secure Firewall product line and released corresponding security updates. The advisory covers 14 security bulletins addressing 29 CVEs across Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA), Threat Defense (FTD), and Management Center (FMC) software. Five of the advisories are rated Critical, covering 18 CVEs that include remote code execution without authentication and privilege escalation to administrator level. Several issues have already been confirmed as exploited in the wild. The company also consolidated related weaknesses under single CVE identifiers where appropriate and provided CVSS v3.1 base scores ranging up to 9.9. Affected products include the Secure Firewall 3100 and 4200 Series along with multiple software hardening releases issued on 16 September 2026.
pgAdmin 4 Database Management Tool Patches Multiple Vulnerabilities in Version 9.18
The development team behind pgAdmin 4, the popular management tool for PostgreSQL databases, has released version 9.18 to address multiple security issues. The update, published on September 17, 2026, includes fixes for four CVEs along with 29 total changes covering new features and bug resolutions. One vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-86863, stems from insufficient web server authentication that trusts external HTTP headers, enabling attackers to bypass login and impersonate administrators without passwords. A second issue, CVE-2026-86864, allows command injection through the backup feature when database names are passed as arguments, potentially leading to unauthorized file writes or exfiltration of connection passwords. The update is available now from the official pgAdmin repository.
