What happened
SANS ISC diary feed (23 Jul 2026) covering multiple security observations: most notably active exploitation of a WordPress Core SQL injection vulnerability now assigned CVE-2026-63030 ("wp2shell") that can lead to unauthenticated remote code execution. Other entries discuss disclosures about an "autonomous attacker" involving an AI model, an observed Rondo/GeoServer interaction, captive-portal detection traffic (false-positive style), and internet-wide scans targeting Hikvision device APIs detected by honeypots. The feed also includes regular ISC Stormcast podcast entries.
