In environments studied for the 2026 State of Agent Security Report, roughly 1,280 third-party products now embed AI. About 282 of them sit behind single sign-on. The other thousand are invisible to identity infrastructure by default, not because anyone hid them, but because an identity stack can only govern what authenticates through it, and most agents never do. That gap is the clearest
Four more U.S. states sued router maker TP-Link Systems on October 6, bringing the total to five, with Texas filing a suit in February. Florida, Iowa, Montana and Nebraska allege the California company misled buyers about how secure its routers are and how separate it is from China. TP-Link denies the claims and says it will fight them in court. TP-Link Systems is based in
SonicWall has released hotfixes for four flaws in its SMA1000 appliances, the gateways that give remote workers access to a company's network and applications. The most serious could allow an attacker without a login to send requests through the appliance and reach internal functions. SonicWall rates it 10.0 on the CVSS scale and says it has no evidence that any of the four flaws is being
A critical vulnerability in LMCache, open-source software that speeds up large language model (LLM) servers such as vLLM, lets an attacker run code on the cache server without logging in, and no fixed version is available. The flaw is in LMCache's multiprocess mode, where the cache runs as a standalone server that LLM workers reach over the ZeroMQ messaging library. A single network

Google has now suspended submissions to its Open Source Software Vulnerability Rewards Program (OSS VRP) after being flooded by AI-generated reports. The company's OSS VRP incentivizes security researchers to responsibly disclose security flaws across open-source projects maintained by Google, including Golang, Angular, Bazel, Protocol Buffers, Fuchsia, and critical third-party dependencies, as well as repository settings like GitHub actions, application configurations, and access control rules. Google launched the OSS VRP in August 2022 with rewards ranging from $100 to $31,337, and noted that the program would focus on security flaws with the most significant impact on the software supply chain. "We are temporarily no longer accepting OSS VRP product vulnerability submissions. This does not impact OSS VRP supply chain reports, or any outstanding reports," the company said. "Why is this happening? This pause is due to a significant rise in automated submissions, the vast majority of which are not valid."
The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) says information belonging to up to 200,000 users may have been exposed after hackers accessed its identity and access management system and downloaded a large amount of data. The university says the attacker used compromised credentials to log into DTUBasen, its identity and access management (IAM) system, allowing access to more than two decades of user data. In a disclosure on Friday, DTU confirmed that it cannot “determine precisely what information was downloaded or how many people have been affected.” However, the Danish university notes that DTUBasen stores information for nearly 40,000 active users and around 160,000 former users. Potentially exposed information for current users includes Danish civil registration numbers (CPR), full names, home addresses, and profile pictures, as well as work email addresses, job titles, office locations, and other employment-related details.
U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) adds Fortinet FortiMail flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) added a Fortinet FortiMail flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-104286 (CVSS score of 9.8), to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. The flaw is a path traversal vulnerability that can be triggered through specially crafted HTTP or HTTPS requests. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit the issue to bypass restrictions on file paths and write arbitrary files to the underlying system. The vulnerability also involves improper handling of NULL characters, which can help the attacker bypass security checks. The flaw is reportedly being exploited in the wild, so affected customers are urged to apply the recommended workaround. “An Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory (‘Path Traversal’) [CWE-22] and Improper Neutralization of NULL Byte or NULL Character [CWE-158] vulnerability may allow an unauthenticated attacker to write arbitrary files on the underlying system via crafted HTTP or HTTPS requests.” reads the advisory. “This has been reported to be exploited in the wild” The company did not disclose how many customers were affected, when the attacks started, who was behind them, or technical details of the attacks. Below are the affected versions and the released updates: VersionAffectedSolutionFortiMail 8.08.0.0 through 8.0.1Upgrade to upcoming 8.0.2 or aboveFortiMail 7.67.6.0 through 7.6.6Upgrade to upcoming 7.6.7 or aboveFortiMail 7.47.4.0 through 7.4.8Upgrade to upcoming 7.4.9 or aboveFortiMail 7.27.2.0 through 7.2.9Upgrade to branch 7.4 or above As a temporary workaround, customers should disable the IBE (Identity-Based Encryption) feature using the recommended CLI command. Alternatively, access to the FortiMail management interface should be blocked from the internet or limited to trusted private networks. According to Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01: Reducing the Significant Risk of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities, FCEB agencies have to address the identified vulnerabilities by the due date to protect their networks against attacks exploiting the flaws in the catalog. Experts also recommend that private organizations review the Catalog and address the vulnerabilities in their infrastructure. CISA orders federal agencies to fix the flaw by October 3rd, 2026.

Government and policy organizations across Asia have become the target of a new campaign orchestrated by a China-nexus threat actor. The activity, which has targeted government and policy organizations in Taiwan, India, the Philippines, Cambodia, Pakistan, Thailand, and Myanmar, involves the deployment of a previously undocumented backdoor codenamed Antino. Cisco Talos is tracking the cluster
The quarterly board meeting is two weeks out. The security team is pulling exports from the identity provider, the cloud posture tool, the vulnerability scanner, the SIEM and the EDR console. Someone is building a spreadsheet to reconcile them. Someone else is turning that spreadsheet into slides. Then a board member asks three questions: How secure is the organization, overall? What is
