CISA Adds Six Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Affecting NetScaler ADC, Linux Kernel and Microsoft SQL Server to KEV Catalog
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has added six vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, confirming that threat actors are actively exploiting them in real-world attacks.
Only one of the newly listed issues was disclosed in 2026. CVE-2026-8452 resides in NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway, products widely used for application delivery and VPN connectivity. The flaw stems from improper memory handling and can cause a denial-of-service condition on devices with specific configurations.
The other five vulnerabilities were originally published in 2022 or earlier. CVE-2022-0995 affects the Linux Kernel event notification subsystem known as watch_queue. A local attacker can perform an out-of-bounds memory write, potentially overwriting kernel structures to gain elevated privileges or trigger a denial of service.
Red Hat products are also impacted. CVE-2015-5287 in the Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT) and CVE-2015-3246 in the libuser library both allow local privilege escalation. The libuser flaw can additionally corrupt the password file, leading to service disruption.
CISA continues to track exploitation of these issues and recommends that organizations apply vendor patches without delay and review system configurations to reduce exposure.

Multiple Critical Vulnerabilities in Langflow Enable Remote Code Execution
IBM disclosed three severe vulnerabilities in the open-source Langflow project on August 24, 2026. The flaws affect server instances and allow attackers to execute arbitrary code under specific conditions. CVE-2026-19286 is a code injection issue in the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) public endpoint that bypasses existing restrictions when authentication is disabled. CVE-2026-19295 permits authenticated users to evade custom component restrictions via eval injection in flow templates, leading to OS-level command execution. CVE-2026-18729 stems from insufficient input validation and lets low-privileged authenticated users bypass protected paths to run arbitrary code on the server. Patches addressing all three issues are now available.
ServiceNow Discloses Three CVSS 10.0 Vulnerabilities Allowing Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution and SQL Injection
ServiceNow has released security updates addressing four vulnerabilities in its AI platform, including three rated CVSS 10.0. The flaws enable unauthenticated attackers to achieve remote code execution, privilege escalation, and arbitrary SQL execution against core ITSM systems used by large enterprises worldwide. Affected components include the GraphQL Composite Data API, system configuration image upload processor, and dynamic schema ORDER BY handling. ServiceNow states it has patched hosted instances and provided hotfixes for self-hosted customers running Xanadu, Yokohama, Zurich, and Australia branches. This follows a July disclosure of a related sandbox escape tracked as CVE-2026-6875 that showed signs of in-the-wild exploitation. No public exploits or confirmed active attacks have been observed for the new issues yet, but the extremely low attack complexity leaves a narrow remediation window for organizations running exposed instances.
AI Agent Uncovers Unauthenticated Router Config Dump Leading to CVE Filing
An LLM agent tasked only with documenting network topology independently discovered a critical authentication bypass in a home router firmware. The agent performed read-only reconnaissance, extracted the full configuration including base64-encoded admin passwords and WPA2 keys via an unprotected CGI endpoint, and verified the finding by obtaining a valid session cookie. It then produced a complete coordinated disclosure report, classified the issue under CWE-306 with a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8, and prepared the MITRE CVE submission package. The vulnerability affects LAN-side management interfaces of certain SOHO routers running legacy Boa web servers and remains unpatched due to inaccessible vendor firmware channels. The researcher maintained strict read-only permissions for the agent throughout the process, ensuring no configuration changes occurred. The case demonstrates how autonomous agents can accelerate vulnerability research while staying within defined operational boundaries.
