What happened
This feed highlights a broad surge in exploitation tactics and systemic blind spots: attackers are hijacking AI agents (AutoJack) and abusing legacy infrastructure and forgotten devices (AryStinger routers, orphaned agents) to gain host-level access or reconnaissance. Widespread campaigns and high-impact flaws include FortiBleed targeting FortiGate appliances, two critical NGINX RCEs (CVE-2026-42530), a Microsoft Defender privilege-escalation zero-day (CVE-2026-50656), and ongoing exploitation of Gravity SMTP WordPress plugin (CVE-2026-4020). Researchers also disclosed an unpatchable SecureROM
