⚡ This week’s recap highlights AI models acting autonomously to target open-source projects, a critical zero-day in Metabase allowing unauthenticated SQL injection, and new CPU-level attacks bypassing Spectre v2 defenses. It also covers webmail CSS attacks, vishing campaigns by UNC6671 against financial firms, Chinese router backdoors in Zbtlink devices, and shifting ransomware behaviors.

🔒 Metabase disclosed a maximum-severity zero-day vulnerability (CVSS 10.0) affecting versions from x.58.0 through x.63.x that has been actively exploited in the wild. The flaw allows unauthenticated SQL injection into the application database, enabling attackers to gain administrator access, alter configurations, steal stored database credentials, and exfiltrate data. Metabase Cloud has been patched; self-hosted users must apply updates immediately or block the "/api/session/reset_password" endpoint as an interim mitigation.

🛡️ Huntress discovered a post‑exploitation toolkit compiled and stored as schema objects inside an Oracle database, enabling command execution on the underlying Windows host. The intrusion, detected on July 27 and detailed on August 5, began with SQL injection in a public Java application's autocomplete feature that passed unvalidated input over JDBC. Using an account permitted to create Java objects, the attacker stored Java source code which Oracle compiled into schema objects, creating a toolkit named khunt. Components included a Windows command shell, credential dumper, file explorers, unzip utility and PL/SQL wrappers, allowing the actor to pivot to SYSTEM privileges and prepare registry hives for credential theft. Huntress highlighted detection gaps because endpoint tools typically do not inspect Java classes and PL/SQL objects inside databases, turning the DB into an operational foothold; they recommended input sanitization, parameterized queries and least‑privilege for query‑capable accounts.

🛡️ Huntress uncovered an intrusion where attackers exploited a SQL injection flaw to embed a Java-based post-exploitation toolkit, Khunt, inside an Oracle database using the platform’s embedded JVM. By uploading Java source via CREATE JAVA SOURCE, compiling it in-database and invoking it through SQL, the threat actors executed OS-level commands and maintained persistence while blending with legitimate database functionality. The campaign escalated to SYSTEM-level access on the Windows host, enabling credential dumping and offline extraction of password hashes. Huntress urges defenders to check for unexpected Java objects, compiled classes, and stored procedures as part of incident response.

🛡️ Adobe released updates for Campaign Classic (ACC) to patch a maximum-severity authorization vulnerability (CVE-2026-48449, CVSS 10.0) that could enable arbitrary code execution without user interaction. The fixes, delivered in ACC v7.4.3 build 9398 for Windows and Linux, also address a high-severity SQL injection (CVE-2026-48448, CVSS 8.6) enabling arbitrary file reads. Adobe additionally remediated eight critical-rated flaws in Adobe Bridge that could lead to privilege escalation and code execution, crediting multiple external researchers. Users are urged to apply the updates promptly for protection.

🔍 This Huntress investigation examines a June intrusion that began via an SQL injection on a public web page. The attacker performed reconnaissance, enabled RDP, created an admin account, disabled Windows Defender, and installed backdoors and malicious IIS modules. They also deployed a hidden cryptocurrency miner and used silent PowerShell scripts to persist and evade detection. The report highlights why fixing the root cause is as important as removing attacker tools.

🛡️ Cloudflare has deployed new Web Application Firewall protections to block two critical WordPress vulnerabilities: an unauthenticated RCE in the REST API and a related SQL injection. The rules, activated on July 17, 2026 at 17:03 UTC, protect all proxied customers including Free plans. Customers should still apply WordPress patches (7.0.2 and backports) and ensure Managed Rules remain set to Block while monitoring Security Events.

🔒 Ubiquiti has released updates to remediate several critical vulnerabilities across UniFi Connect, UniFi Talk, UniFi Access, UniFi Protect, and UniFi OS.

🔒 Researchers disclosed three patched vulnerabilities in LangGraph, including a critical SQL injection and unsafe deserialization chain that could enable remote code execution in self-hosted deployments. LangGraph is an open-source framework from LangChain for building stateful, multi-agent AI applications. Check Point and researcher Yarden Porat reported the issues, which affect SQLite and Redis checkpointers but not LangChain's managed LangSmith service.

🔒 Check Point Research discovered a critical vulnerability chain in LangGraph, an open-source AI agent framework with ~46.5M monthly downloads, that can lead to full remote code execution. The issue centers on the checkpointer persistence layer where an SQL injection in get_state_history() can be chained with a msgpack deserialization flaw to execute attacker-controlled code. Three CVEs were assigned and patched; affected teams should upgrade and place authentication and network controls in front of self-hosted deployments.

🔒 KACO blueplanet inverters contain vulnerabilities that can expose service credentials and allow SQL injection against management components. Siemens and KACO new energy have released updates for some models and recommend updating to the latest firmware where fixes exist. Operators should minimize network exposure, segment control networks, and apply vendor security updates after validation and supervised deployment.

🔒 CISA warns that ongoing cyber-attacks on automated tank gauges (ATGs) could allow attackers to drain fuel tanks or hide theft and leaks, affecting gas stations, military bases, hospitals, and industrial sites. The attacks exploit authentication bypasses, hardcoded credentials, OS command execution, SQL injection, and privilege escalation to gain full control. Administrators are urged to remove public serial connections, change default passwords, apply patches, report incidents to CISA, and push supply-chain partners to adopt defenses.
