What happened
A broad surge in high-impact cyber activity: multiple actively exploited vulnerabilities and fast-moving supply-chain and AI-assisted campaigns are being observed. Notable events include active exploitation of the Linux local privilege escalation ("Copy Fail") vulnerability and rapid exploitation of LiteLLM SQLi, a critical cPanel authentication flaw weaponized against governments and MSPs, and CISA KEV additions for ConnectWise/Windows. Supply-chain compromises (PyTorch Lightning, SAP-related npm, poisoned Ruby gems and Go modules), credential-stealing backdoors (DEEP#DOOR, EtherRAT), large‑(
