What happened
Qualys security blog RSS content highlights BlueHammer (CVE-2026-33825), an eight-stage Windows Defender local privilege-escalation chain requiring prior standard-user execution and potentially leading to SYSTEM access, LSASS credential theft, and pass-the-hash lateral movement. It also covers PHP2Shell (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619), two critical unauthenticated remote-code-execution flaws in PHP with demonstrated worker-memory disclosure and reported attack traffic. Additional entries discuss Microsoft patching, vulnerability prioritization, container runtime reachability, autonomous/
