What happened
Qualys security intelligence covering AWS Lambda vulnerability scanning, rapid cloud takeovers involving exposed IAM credentials and misconfiguration, major July 2026 patch releases, compliance remediation, identity-based attacks, and two Linux local privilege-escalation vulnerabilities: CVE-2026-64600 in the XFS filesystem and CVE-2026-8933 in Ubuntu snap-confine. The kernel XFS flaw and snap-confine race condition allow unprivileged local users to obtain root privileges on affected systems.
