A supply chain attack dubbed 'megalodon' compromises GitHub Action YAML configurations by injecting base64-encoded malicious scripts to exfiltrate repository data. Analysis of the C2 infrastructure, identified as the NEXUS Listener framework, links this activity to a prior campaign that exploited CVE-2026-41940 in cPanel servers to deploy cryptominers and steal high-value cloud credentials.

The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security issued a daily digest highlighting recent security advisories for GitLab and GNU InetUtils. Critical vulnerabilities were addressed in GitLab CE/EE (patched in 18.11.2 and 18.10.5) and GNU InetUtils (patched in version 2.8, fixing two CVEs), requiring immediate patching by administrators.

CISA has added CVE-2026-41940, a missing authentication vulnerability affecting WebPros cPanel, WHM, and WP2, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog based on evidence of active exploitation. The flaw allows malicious actors to access critical functions without authentication, posing a significant risk to affected enterprises.

cPanel and WHM are vulnerable to a critical authentication bypass (CVE-2026-41940) that allows unauthenticated attackers to gain root-level access. The flaw stems from a CRLF injection vulnerability in session file handling, enabling attackers to forge session attributes and bypass password validation mechanisms by manipulating the whostmgrsession cookie and Basic Authentication headers.

The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security issued an advisory highlighting unspecified vulnerabilities in Google Chrome for Desktop. Administrators are urged to update Windows, Mac, and Linux clients to the latest stable channel releases to mitigate potential exploitation.

AI Weaponization Collapses Trust as Identity Becomes the Perimeter Attackers are using artificial intelligence to make phishing and social engineering dramatically cheaper and more convincing, as seen in BlueNoroff's AI-generated deepfake meetings targeting Web3 executives and the Bluekit phishing platform's built-in AI assistant that crafts lures on demand. Because these AI tools can generate convincing scams and steal session cookies to bypass multi-factor authentication, traditional email filters and basic MFA are no longer sufficient barriers. In parallel, attackers are shifting from hacking infrastructure to hijacking identity and trust systems—installing legitimate remote-access tools via phishing, exploiting API authentication flaws like BOLA, and harvesting credentials through malicious AI browser extensions that spy on users in real time. This identity-focused shift compounds with the persistent exploitation of older vulnerabilities; groups like SHADOW-EARTH-053 still use years-old ProxyLogon flaws on unpatched Exchange servers, while CISA confirms CVE-2026-32202 (Microsoft Windows) and CVE-2026-41940 (cPanel) are already being exploited in the wild. Because AI models like Claude Mythos can now autonomously chain these vulnerabilities into working exploits at machine speed, defenders cannot rely on manual patching cadences to stay safe. These trends together suggest that the real perimeter is no longer the firewall but the identity layer, and defending it requires phishing-resistant authentication, automated response, and rigorous vetting of developer pipelines and third-party trust. Watch for AI-accelerated exploitation of unpatched systems and invest in identity-centric, machine-speed defenses before the next wave of automated attacks outpaces your team's response.
