Vulnerabilities
CVE-2026-8732, a CVSS 9.8 flaw in the WP Maps Pro WordPress plugin, lets any unauthenticated attacker mint an administrator account on 15,000 affected sites. Wordfence blocked 2,858 exploitation attempts in a single 24-hour window. Patch is in v6.1.1.
Nation-State Cyber Threats
Sekoia documented an FSB-linked Gamaredon campaign whose GammaWorm hides fileless VBScript modules inside NTFS Alternate Data Streams to spy on Ukrainian government, military, and critical-infrastructure targets while leaving almost no trace on disk.
Supply Chain Attack
The npm package codexui-android, a remote web UI for OpenAI Codex with 29,000 weekly downloads, has been exfiltrating users' Codex authentication tokens to an attacker server for the past month. The package is still live on npm.
Password Security
Dashlane confirmed that an external party brute-forced the token check on its new-device-registration flow, and the company's automatic protections suspended targeted accounts. The lockout is the protection working — the news is what attackers went after.
Vulnerabilities
Rapid7's Stephen Fewer disclosed CVE-2026-0826 on June 1 — an unauthenticated stack-based overflow in HP Poly VVX and Trio enterprise VoIP phones with a CVSSv4 of 9.2 — alongside HP firmware fixes released the same morning after a five-month coordinated disclosure cycle.
Cybersecurity 101
An exploit is the code or technique that turns a vulnerability into a real intrusion. What an exploit is, how it differs from a vulnerability and a payload, the main types, where they come from, and how to defend.
Supply Chain Attack
Microsoft Threat Intelligence has named a new npm supply-chain wave the Mini Shai-Hulud campaign. A single maintainer alias, vpmdhaj, published 14 typosquatted packages in four hours that harvest AWS, HashiCorp Vault, npm, and GitHub Actions secrets from CI/CD runners.
Cyber Attacks
Dutch Politie and NCSC-NL took down 200 Netherlands-based servers running Asocks, a residential proxy service built from at least 17 million infected consumer devices. The takedown weakens the IP-reputation assumptions every defender relies on.

Vulnerabilities
Obsidian Security published proof-of-concept code on May 30, 2026 for CVE-2026-40933, a CVSS 10.0 remote code execution flaw in Flowise. A malicious chatflow import owns the server. Patch 3.1.0 contains the fix.
Nation-State Cyber Threats
Three senior European intelligence officials told The Associated Press that Russian services are building fake companies, recruiting middlemen, and deploying cyber spies to take Western technology — and treating the cyber and human lines as one operation.
Vulnerabilities
Palo Alto Networks has confirmed that attackers are actively exploiting CVE-2026-0257, an authentication-bypass flaw in PAN-OS GlobalProtect that lets them set up VPN sessions on internet-facing firewalls with no credentials. Rapid7 has observed successful intrusions.
