What happened
Multiple high‑impact security developments: a Palo Alto PAN‑OS zero‑day (CVE‑2026‑0300, CVSS 9.3) was actively exploited by suspected nation‑state actors for weeks to gain root on exposed firewalls (attackers used tunneling tools such as EarthWorm and ReverseSocks5); CISA added CVE‑2026‑0300 and Ivanti EPMM CVE‑2026‑6973 (CVSS 7.1) to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Cisco released patches for high‑severity flaws (including CVE‑2026‑20034 and CVE‑2026‑20035) enabling SSRF and potential code execution. Apache fixed a critical HTTP/2 double‑free RCE (CVE‑2026‑23918, CVSS 8.8). Threat
