SQL Injection

2026-07-218 minAkamaicritical

A critical vulnerability chain in WordPress Core (CVE-2026-63030 and CVE-2026-60137) allows unauthenticated attackers to exploit a handler-alignment desynchronization flaw in the REST Batch API to bypass parameter sanitization and perform SQL injection. This injection can be chained through WordPress's object caching and post-processing behavior to escalate privileges, assume an administrative context, install a malicious plugin, and achieve full remote code execution on default installations. Patches are available upstream but many environments remain unpatched.

The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security published three security advisories on 2026-07-17 covering critical vulnerabilities in FreePBX (unauthenticated RCE and SQL injection), VMware Avi Load Balancer (seven CVEs under VMSA-2026-0005), and Google Chrome for Desktop. All advisories urge immediate patching to the latest versions.

The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security published 7 security advisories on July 16, 2026, covering Zoom, Splunk, JetBrains, Grafana, Microsoft, and Fortinet products. The most critical items are three Microsoft CVEs (CVE-2026-56164, CVE-2026-56155, CVE-2026-58644) and three Fortinet FortiSandbox CVEs (CVE-2026-25089, CVE-2026-39813, CVE-2026-39808) that have been confirmed as actively exploited and added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities database. Splunk Enterprise also has critical vulnerabilities including a CSRF-based SPL command bypass and a path traversal in the App Install REST endpoint.

A threat actor exploited an SQL injection vulnerability in an IIS web application to gain initial access to a Windows endpoint running MSSQL. After access, the attacker performed extensive environment modifications including reconnaissance via tasklist, exfiltration to an OAST domain, creation of a new local administrator account, enabling Terminal Services, disabling Windows Defender, installing BadIIS modules, deploying an XMRig cryptocurrency miner with persistence, and adding CnCrypt Protect for defense evasion. The breadth of modifications on a single endpoint was notable compared to similar incidents.

AI Attacked and Abused While Perimeter Authentication Collapses The month's defining shift was the emergence of AI as a two-sided battlefield: organizations deployed AI tools faster than they secured them, while attackers weaponized the same technology against defenders. Critical flaws in LangGraph allowed SQL injection chained to remote code execution, M365 Copilot could be turned into a one-click data exfiltration weapon via SearchLeak, and Langflow was exploited to deploy cryptominers. Meanwhile, the ongoing Shai-Hulud campaign injected prompts to blind AI malware scanners, macOS.Gaslight turned prompt injection against human analysts, and Russia's APT28 began experimenting with LLM-integrated malware. At the same time, perimeter authentication collapsed at scale: FortiBleed exposed credentials for over 73,000 FortiGate firewalls, CVE-2026-50751 let attackers bypass Check Point VPN authentication entirely, and ShinyHunters exploited an Oracle PeopleSoft zero-day across over 100 organizations. Supply chain attackers followed developers to their new AI tools, compromising the ecosystems where code is written and built. The Shai-Hulud/Miasma worm expanded from npm into PyPI and injected persistent backdoors into AI coding assistant configurations, while North Korea's Sapphire Sleet compromised over 140 Mastra npm packages to steal cryptocurrency wallets, and the ongoing GlassWorm campaign pivoted to WebAssembly malware in VS Code extensions using the Solana blockchain as command-and-control. Social engineering also industrialized: the ErrTraffic framework turned ClickFix deception into a Malware-as-a-Service operation with blockchain dead drops, and EvilTokens hid phishing flows inside browser-side encryption to defeat network scanners while hijacking Microsoft device-code authentication. Organizations should treat AI deployments as untrusted perimeter assets—restrict their network access, audit third-party skills and extensions, and assume prompt-injection attacks will target both automated scanners and human analysts. Every internet-facing VPN, firewall, and edge appliance should be patched immediately, with credentials rotated and phishing-resistant MFA enforced, because perimeter authentication failures now cascade directly into internal network compromise.

Check Point Research discovered critical vulnerabilities in LangGraph's SQLite and Redis checkpointers that allow attackers to chain SQL injection with unsafe msgpack deserialization to achieve Remote Code Execution (RCE). The flaws occur when user-controlled input is passed to the getstatehistory() filter, enabling attackers to inject malicious serialized payloads that execute arbitrary OS commands upon deserialization.

Siemens KACO Blueplanet Inverters contain two vulnerabilities, including a hard-coded cryptographic key issue (CVE-2025-40946) that allows attackers to derive device credentials from serial numbers, and an SQL injection (CVE-2026-41125) in the KACO Meteor server enabling privilege escalation. Siemens has released firmware updates for select models and recommends network isolation for affected devices.

CISA and partner agencies have observed unattributed malicious cyber activity targeting internet-exposed Automatic Tank Gauge (ATG) systems across multiple U.S. critical infrastructure sectors. Threat actors are leveraging authentication bypass, hardcoded credentials, and command execution vulnerabilities to gain administrative control, enabling them to manipulate tank parameters, disable safety alerts, and create denial-of-view conditions.

This threat intelligence bulletin highlights a surge in data breaches driven by social engineering, alongside the increasing weaponization of AI tools for phishing, malware development, and supply chain attacks. Active exploitation of vulnerabilities in PAN-OS GlobalProtect and Ghost CMS has been observed, while a critical unpatched RCE in Gogs remains a significant risk. Additionally, targeted campaigns like Grandoreiro and JINX-0164 continue to threaten the financial and cryptocurrency sectors using platform-specific malware and DLL side-loading.

A critical SQL injection vulnerability (CVE-2026-9082) in Drupal core allows unauthenticated attackers to exfiltrate sensitive data or bypass authentication. The flaw specifically affects Drupal environments utilizing a PostgreSQL database backend alongside the JSON:API, Views, or Entity autocomplete modules, stemming from the improper sanitization of PHP array keys before they reach the database abstraction layer.
