Cloudflare Fixes Flaw That Let One Container Read Another Customer's Leftover Disk Data

A flaw in Cloudflare Containers let a paying customer read data that other customers' containers had left behind on the same server, Cloudflare and the researchers who found it said on Thursday. The data came from disk space that earlier containers had used and given up, not from any live workload, and an attacker could not choose whose data they got,  according to Cloudflare . The company has fixed the flaw across its service and says customers need to do nothing. Cloudflare Containers runs customers' programs inside containers on servers shared by many accounts, and Cloudflare, not the customer, picks the server. Cloudflare Sandboxes, which runs on Containers and is sold as a safe place to run untrusted code, including code written by AI agents, was affected too. The flaw was reported on September 4 by Oren Yomtov of the security firm Accomplish , through Cloudflare's bug bounty program. The problem was in how the shared disks were set up. Each container gets a ...

WSO2 and Adobe Commerce Flaws Exploited in Attacks, Added to CISA KEV

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), on Thursday, added two critical security flaws impacting WSO2 and Adobe Commerce and Magento to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities ( KEV ) catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation. The vulnerabilities are listed below - CVE-2026-5430 (CVS score: 9.8) - A path traversal vulnerability in  WSO2 API Control Plane, API Manager, Traffic Manager and Universal Gateway that could allow unrestricted file upload and lead to remote code execution. CVE-2026-71362 (CVSS score: 9.1) - An incorrect authorization vulnerability in  Adobe Commerce and Magento that could allow an attacker to leverage this vulnerability to gain elevated access to sensitive resources without any user interaction. The addition of CVE-2026-5430 to the KEV comes a little over a week after watchTowr said it's seeing in-the-wild exploitation efforts against its honeypots since at least September 13, 2026. As for CVE-2026-71362 ...

Unpatched OnePlus Flaws Let Installed Android Apps Gain Root Without Permissions

A OnePlus 15 running the latest OxygenOS can be rooted by a malicious app the owner installs, one that asks for no special permissions. A researcher, Rasmus Moorats,  chained two flaws in OnePlus's own software  to gain root access, the highest level of control over an Android phone. OnePlus told him the same flaws affect many more of its own devices and those of OPPO, though it has not said which. OnePlus confirmed both flaws in May. In the same reply, the company told Moorats that it alone decides when to make a flaw public and warned that publishing without its permission could result in legal liability. He published on September 24 anyway, when OnePlus had released no fix. OnePlus set out its position in the reply,  which Moorats published in full . It said a fix was scheduled, but claimed "the exclusive final right of vulnerability disclosure," and told him that even after a fix ships, researchers may not publish full technical details on their own. The comp...

ThreatsDay: AI Search Poisoning, AI Coding Tool Leaking Repos, One-Click Code Execution and 13 More Stories

This week, the dangerous stuff keeps arriving dressed as something boring. An update. A login box. A search answer. A coding tool. A link you have clicked a hundred times before. That is the thread running through the pile. Trusted paths get poisoned. Old bugs find new jobs. AI tools leak more than expected. Fake prompts look real enough. And some attacks barely need an exploit at all — just one weak setting or one person doing what the screen tells them. Nothing here looks especially dramatic. That is what makes it useful. The threats change every week. Subscribe, and we’ll alert you when each new ThreatsDay Bulletin is out.

Placeholder third-party[.]com Referenced Across 1,700+ Repositories Now Serves Malicious Content

The "third-party[.]com" domain, commonly used as a documentation placeholder, has been observed serving a ClickFix lure to Windows browsers while displaying a harmless decoy to other users. "third-party[.]com has been a generic documentation placeholder for years, the same role example.com plays," Manifold Security's Head of Research, Ax Sharma, said . "Unlike 'example[.]com,' third-party[.]com is not IANA-reserved . Anyone could register it, and someone did. Every doc, test, and skill that hard-coded it now points readers at attacker infrastructure." As of writing, the domain has been marked as malicious and unsafe on both VirusTotal and Google's Safe Browsing list . ClickFix is a social engineering attack technique in which either malicious or legitimate-but-compromised websites display error messages, browser alerts, or CAPTCHA verification prompts, tricking users into copying and executing hidden commands via the Windows Run d...

Hacked Ukrainian Sites Serve Fake Cloudflare ClickFix Lures for Psychedelic Stealer

An active ClickFix campaign has been observed compromising legitimate Ukrainian business websites to inject bogus Cloudflare verification pages and trick victims into downloading a previously undocumented information stealer called Psychedelic . "When a visitor interacts with the page, the lure copies a Windows Installer command to the clipboard and instructs the visitor to paste it into the Windows Run dialog," Arctic Wolf Labs said in a technical report shared with The Hacker News. The ClickFix chain uses an "msiexec.exe" command to fetch a Windows MSI installer that's used to deliver the stealer malware. The malicious tool is designed to harvest browser passwords, account tokens, and cryptocurrency-wallet data, set up scheduled-task persistence, and contact a command-and-control (C2) server for additional tasking. Some of the compromised websites include a hair-treatment clinic, a scale-model manufacturer, a specialist bookseller and publisher, a psy...

Corp MDM Spyware Targets Logistics Firms, Steals New SMS and Redirects Calls

The logistics sector has become the target of a new malicious cyber campaign that distributes an Android spyware codenamed Corp MDM . According to Have I Been Squatted, the campaign uses fake Google Play pages branded as CEVA and TKW Logistics to distribute an Android Package Kit (APK) file that's dressed up as a system service. The delivered app has the package name "com.corp.mdm" Corp MDM is a "compact surveillance implant designed to exfiltrate newly received SMS content, divert calls, and maintain a hidden foreground service," security researcher Ben Folland said . The malware has been described as narrow by design, lacking in spyware functions typically observed in commercial Android spyware. It's suspected that the threat actor behind the campaign used artificial intelligence (AI) during the development phase, given the presence of bugs that interfere with its capabilities. In addition, the activity is said to be part of a broader campaign t...

Secrets Sprawl Is an Identity Problem That AI Just Made Impossible to Ignore

AI coding agents are changing how quickly developers can build and ship software as well as how quickly credentials can become exposed. According to GitGuardian’s 2026 State of Secrets Sprawl Report , commits identified as AI-assisted are leaking secrets at approximately twice the rate of human-written ones. Most of the fastest-growing categories of leaked credentials are now connected to AI services, meaning the tools meant to advance development are also accelerating the exposure of the keys development relies on. This isn’t a new vulnerability; what is new is AI changing the scale and pace at which those mistakes can happen. A coding agent can read an entire project, modify files, generate configurations and interact with external services in the time a developer might take to review a single pull request. The main issue isn’t that AI agents sometimes encounter secrets but that many of those secrets were never designed for an environment in which software can act autonomously. A...
