Executive Summary: What are CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619? Why PHP vulnerabilities put most of the web at risk When you open a web page, something has to build that page before it reaches you. For roughly seven out of ten websites, the software doing that job is PHP. It sits on the web server, assembles the […]

It was discovered that Brotli incorrectly handled certain compressed streams. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.
Cybersecurity researchers are calling attention to what they say is a "recurring social engineering pattern" across hundreds of cases in which threat actors use Microsoft Teams' external chat creation feature to conduct impersonation scams or to deliver malware. "A consistent pattern of attacker behavior has emerged across these incidents: the use of the same throwaway tenants, the same 'IT

This2Shell, That2Shell, Everything2Shell. That's pretty much how the last week went. Critical bugs that let attackers run code remotely are showing up everywhere. Hackers are scanning for targets, some flaws are already being used in attacks, and security teams have more urgent patches than they can keep up with. And that's not even the full story. A leaked key led to a software supply-chain
This Cybersecurity Awareness Month's theme, "Securing the Next 250," asks us to look beyond vulnerabilities and consider what will make our digital systems resilient for generations.
