⚠️ Festo SE & Co. KG and CISA report that numerous Festo firmware products contain undocumented remote-accessible functions and missing port/protocol documentation, tracked as CVE-2022-3270 with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8. An unauthenticated remote attacker could leverage these undocumented protocol functions to cause full loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Festo intends to address the issue by updating technical user manuals in the next product versions; operators should meanwhile reduce network exposure, enforce firewalls, and use VPNs and encrypted links.

🔒 Microsoft released updates addressing over 100 CVEs on the first Patch Tuesday of 2026, including three zero-day vulnerabilities. CVE-2026-20805 is an actively exploited information-disclosure flaw in the Desktop Window Manager that can undermine ASLR; CVE-2026-21265 concerns a secure-boot certificate-expiration bypass affecting many devices; CVE-2023-31096 is an elevation-of-privilege in legacy Agere modem drivers that Microsoft is removing. Administrators should prioritize patching, review firmware and UEFI certificates, and audit hardware where updates may require manual acceptance.

🔒 Microsoft released its first security update of 2026 addressing 114 vulnerabilities across Windows, including one actively exploited in the wild. The set includes eight Critical and 106 Important flaws, spanning privilege escalation, information disclosure, and remote code execution issues. Administrators are urged to prioritize the exploited CVE-2026-20805 and VBS-related fixes, and to follow guidance for Secure Boot certificate updates to avoid disruption.

⚠️ Node.js has released critical updates to address a bug that can force the runtime to exit rather than throw a catchable error when a stack overflow occurs with async_hooks enabled. The defect causes Node.js to terminate with exit code 7, creating a potential Denial-of-Service vector for applications whose recursion is controlled by unsanitized input. A fix is available in Node.js 20.20.0, 22.22.0, 24.13.0, and 25.3.0; older, EOL releases remain vulnerable. Users and maintainers are urged to update promptly.

🔴 On Dec. 19, 2025, MongoDB disclosed MongoBleed (CVE-2025-14847), a critical unauthenticated memory-disclosure in MongoDB Server stemming from handling of zlib-compressed wire messages. An attacker with network access to TCP/27017 can cause the server to return heap memory that may include cleartext credentials, API keys, session tokens, and PII. A public PoC and active exploitation were observed; MongoDB Atlas was auto-patched while self-hosted deployments require immediate manual updates and mitigations such as disabling zlib compression and restricting inbound access.

🔒 Multiple current and former Target employees confirmed that source code and documentation shared by a threat actor match the company's internal systems. The leaked sample contains real system names (e.g., BigRED, TAP [Provisioning]), proprietary codenames and tooling references, including Vela-based CI/CD and JFrog Artifactory. Target enacted an "accelerated" change restricting access to its on-prem Git server to the corporate network and VPN after the disclosure.

🔔 CISA has added one new vulnerability to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog: CVE-2026-20805, a Microsoft Windows information disclosure issue identified as being actively exploited. This vulnerability type is a common attack vector and presents significant risks to the federal enterprise. Under BOD 22-01, Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies are required to remediate KEV entries by prescribed due dates, and CISA strongly urges all organizations to prioritize timely remediation. CISA will continue to update the KEV Catalog as new exploited CVEs meet its criteria.

🔒 ServiceNow has released fixes for a critical flaw in its ServiceNow AI Platform that could allow an unauthenticated actor to impersonate other users and perform arbitrary actions. Tracked as CVE-2025-12420 with a CVSS score of 9.3, the issue was addressed on October 30, 2025 and deployed to the majority of hosted instances. Patches were also shared with partners and self-hosted customers; administrators are advised to apply updates promptly to mitigate risk.

🔓 A leaked MySQL archive containing 323,986 BreachForums user records surfaced in January, revealing hashed passwords, private messages, forum posts, and registration metadata. Security firm Resecurity reported the leak also included a password-protected PGP private key and a 4,400-word manifesto titled 'Doomsday' attributed to an individual calling themselves James. Have I Been Pwned traced the breach to August, months before multiple law enforcement takedowns and arrests weakened the platform's ecosystem. Observers say the exposure further erodes trust in large public crime forums and may push sophisticated actors to smaller, invite-only communities.

🔒 Researchers showed that tapping what looks like a Telegram username can trigger the app to auto-connect to a proxy and reveal your real IP address. The issue arises from how MTProto proxy links (t.me/proxy?...) are parsed on Android and iOS: the client performs an automatic test connection before the proxy is added. Attackers can host malicious proxies and disguise links as benign usernames or URLs to log IPs for location, profiling, or DDoS. Telegram says IP visibility is not unique to its platform and will add warnings for proxy links; users should be cautious with unfamiliar t.me links.

⚠️ A maximum-severity flaw dubbed Ni8mare (CVE-2026-21858) affects n8n and can allow unauthenticated remote attackers to take control of local instances by exploiting improper input validation in Form Submission triggers. Researchers say the bug enables secret exfiltration, session forgery, file injection, and command execution. Administrators should upgrade to n8n 1.121.0 immediately or restrict public webhook/form endpoints as a temporary mitigation.

🛡️ Trend Micro has released a security update for Apex Central after vulnerability management vendor Tenable identified multiple serious flaws affecting all on-premises builds earlier than 7190. The most severe is a 9.8-rated LoadLibraryEX issue that can allow an unauthenticated attacker to force the server to load and execute an attacker-controlled DLL as SYSTEM. Two additional high-severity, unauthenticated flaws can cause denial-of-service. Trend Micro urges customers to apply build 7190 and review remote access controls immediately.

⚠️ Security researchers at Cyera disclosed a critical vulnerability dubbed Ni8mare in the workflow automation platform n8n, enabling remote code execution and potential full environment compromise. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-21858, carries a CVSS score of 10.0 and impacts roughly 100,000 servers. The root cause is a Content-Type confusion in webhook processing that lets attackers overwrite internal variables, read arbitrary files and inject malicious payloads. n8n released a patched build (1.121.0); administrators should upgrade immediately and rotate any exposed credentials and tokens.

🔒 Cisco has disclosed a vulnerability (CVE-2026-20029) in Cisco ISE and ISE-PIC that could allow an authenticated administrator to read arbitrary files on the server due to improper XML parsing. Proof-of-concept exploit code exists though no active attacks are reported. Cisco assigns CVSS 4.9 (medium). Administrators should rotate credentials, limit who and what can reach ISE, and install the vendor patch as soon as service downtime allows.

🛡️ This week's ThreatsDay highlights a critical RustFS gRPC authentication flaw with a hard-coded token (CVSS 9.8) that allowed network attackers to perform privileged operations and was patched in 1.0.0-alpha.78. Other notable stories include GeoServer-based XMRig miners, an evolution in Iran-linked MuddyWater custom backdoors, a surge in Taiwanese infrastructure attacks, and CISA's KEV catalog expansion. Organizations should apply patches, enable MFA, and monitor credentials and exposed services.

⚠️ Hitachi Energy has disclosed a critical remote code execution vulnerability in Asset Suite, caused by a Java deserialization flaw in the Jaspersoft library (CVE-2025-10492). The issue affects Asset Suite versions 9.7 and earlier and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 — allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable systems. Hitachi Energy advises upgrading to version 9.8 to remediate the defect. Until patched, administrators should restrict loading of external custom reports, segment networks, and deny internet exposure for control system devices.
