VU#141367: AT&T's Arris BGW210-700 gateway contains authentication bypass vulnerability in LAN-side management interface
Overview Firmware versions 2.7.7 and earlier of the Arris BGW210-700 residential gateway contain an authentication bypass vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-16771, that allows any unauthenticated LAN-side user to read sensitive configuration data and modify device settings through web management endpoints. Although this vulnerability was recently discovered, the majority of in-service gateways are not expected to be running the affected version. Only devices that have not received automated ISP-managed firmware updates since version 2.7.7 in 2020 are vulnerable. Description The Arris BGW210-700 is a residential gateway used widely in AT&T deployments to provide routing, wireless networking, and wide-area network (WAN) connectivity for home users. The device exposes a browser-based management interface on the local-area network (LAN) side that allows users to configure WiFi settings, check diagnostics, and run system operations. Several CGI (Common Gateway Interface) handlers within the BGW210-700's web interface do not enforce any server-side authentication checks. Although the interface presents an "Access Code" prompt to users, this restriction is entirely implemented through client-side HTML and JavaScript and is not validated by the server before processing requests. As a result, any HTTP client that ignores client-side code can directly access and interact with the underlying CGI endpoints. The lack of server-side authentication affects multiple configuration and diagnostic pages. The wconfig_unified.ha endpoint returns the plaintext WiFi pre-shared key for all configured SSIDs to any unauthenticated requester. The broadbandconfig.ha endpoint accepts unauthenticated POST requests that directly modify WAN configuration parameters, including settings that persist acr

Cybersecurity researchers have sounded an alert after finding more than 36,000 Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) management interfaces exposing Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) protocol to the public internet. Of the 36,872 internet-exposed server-management interfaces running IPMI, 24,650 have been found to disclose password-derived authentication hashes before login due to
TL;DR: We identified 36,872 internet-exposed BMCs, and 24,650 of them disclosed password-derived authentication hashes before login because of CVE-2013-4786. More than 30% of the returned hashes were linked to passwords that could be recovered using common wordlists or predictable factory password formats. The exposure affected modern Supermicro and HPE servers, including systems operated by GPU providers. The bigger risk is that a compromised BMC gives an attacker highly privileged access below the operating system. Because BMC management networks are often poorly segmented and lightly monitored, one exposed interface can become a foothold into broader data center infrastructure. We also created an interactive map where you can explore the exposed systems: https://lavahq.io/bmcradar
Like most infrastructure, the Internet's fragility is easy to overlook — as long as it's working. When it fails, its complexity comes into full view. Cloudflare is in a unique position to detect and document the moments when one of the interrelated systems the Internet depends on breaks down and connectivity suffers as a result. Each quarter, we summarize the disruptions we detect and annotate on Cloudflare Radar . In Q2 2026, Super Typhoon Sinlaku just north of Guam caused the longest outage, while government-mandated shutdowns during exam periods in Sudan were the most frequent. Iran restored national Internet access, reconnecting its citizens to the global network after an 88-day blackout, even as damage from drone strikes continued to disrupt AWS infrastructure elsewhere in the region. Finally, a cable cut in Saint Lucia and the distribution of faulty DNSSEC signatures in Germany underscored the fragility of Internet infrastructure, but also the remarkable stability these regional and global systems maintain when operating normally. Here we will walk through the most significant Internet disruptions we observed in the second quarter of 2026, drawing on traffic data from Cloudflare Radar to show how each unfolded and what it meant for users on the ground. As always, this is a summary of notable, confirmed disruptions rather than an exhaustive list; a fuller view of detected traffic anomalies is available in the Cloudflare Radar Outage Center .

Codex’s /goal feature amplifies bug hunting, but getting good results requires the right prompt, the right scope, and the right number of outcomes per run. For Patch the Planet , our joint initiative with OpenAI to find and fix bugs in open-source software, we pointed Codex at some of the most widely used, heavily audited codebases in the world, like Rust, curl, and zlib. One tool came up again and again in our internal bug-report channels: /goal , which hands Codex an open-ended objective and lets it work independently toward a success condition. Here are a few highlights: /goal found every Rust bug we submitted, including a soundness hole and a miscompilation now patched in Rust 1.98, from a single variant-analysis pipeline. It turned every project’s past CVEs into Semgrep rules that had to fire on the vulnerable version and stay silent on the patched one, then flagged 11 variant hits across multiple projects. It uncovered two potential high-severity privilege-escalation bugs in Keycloak’s SAML component during a discovery run. Over the first few weeks of Patch the Planet, our engineers independently converged on three techniques for using /goal . We found that getting the most out of /goal means treating the prompt as a set of specific success criteria, not a set of instructions. (Note that this blog post uses /goal to refer to goal-based prompting in general. Codex can also set goals for itself through a tool call, and that’s how we recommend everyone use it; we rarely type the slash command ourselves.) 1. Let Codex write the goal The art o

We CI-gate our detection rules against dormancy, then found the gate itself wasn't enough — a rule can pass every satisfiability check and still be dead
Background for context: FENGARDE (open-source SIEM I maintain) has had an anti-dormancy CI gate for a while — every rule has to prove it's satisfiable by real parser output (a real producer fixture, run through the real parser, checked against the rule's own field requirements). `make attack-scorecard` runs it. Caught real dead rules before. What it doesn't catch: a rule can be perfectly satisfiable — every field it needs gets populated correctly — and still never fire, because the *condition* itself is wrong (off-by-one in a count threshold, wrong window, bad field comparison). Satisfiable ≠ fires. So I built a second layer: `eval/attack/fire_check.py` replays every MITRE-tagged rule's own fixture through the actual live detection engine (not a mock, the real `Detector`/`Rule.evaluate()` path) and checks it actually produces an alert. Declared-tagged vs. proven-fired, tracked as two separate numbers now. 26/26 currently fire — but building the tool itself caught a real bug in the tool, not the rules: my synthetic stateful-rule repetitions were timestamped forward from "now," and the engine's own anti-clock-skew guard (rejects events too far in the future — a real security control, working correctly) silently ate the later repetitions, making two genuinely fine rules look dead. Fixed by anchoring timestamps backward from now instead. Worth mentioning because it's the kind of bug that looks like "the rule is broken" until you actually read the failure and realize your test harness is lying to you. Second thing, actual detection-engineering bug this sub might appreciate: during a dedicated adversarial re-review of a multi-tenancy fix (not the original PR review — a second, harder pass specifically hunting for what the first review missed), found that a stateful correlation rule's window *counter* was correctly tenant-namespaced, but the function computing the actual `alert_id` persisted to storage wasn't. Two tenants firing the same rule in the same time bucket on a matching group_by value got an identical alert_id, and the tenant-scoped alert lookup could return the wrong tenant's document. Passed the first review clean — needed a second pass specifically adversarial to the first fix to catch it. Fixed, regression-tested via revert/run/restore on the fix's own diff. Repo: https://github.com/supermhel/fengarde Curious if others doing rule-content CI have hit the satisfiable-vs-fires gap, or the "test harness accidentally trips a real security guard" flavor of bug — feels like it'd generalize past this one project.

Debugging privacy-preserving protocols is hard. Oblivious HTTP has several different steps across four different parties, not to mention binary HTTP encoding and details spread across many draft RFCs. We've taken what we've learned operating protocols like Oblivious HTTP at the scale of millions of requests per second, and wrapped it up in a nice, clean CLI tool — that we are open-sourcing today. We call it our privacy-client , or pvcli . We’re releasing it under the Apache-2.0 License, and it is open for contributions . Here’s a single line of code that executes a full Oblivious HTTP request with a relay, gateway and origin. Don't worry if you don't know what that means, we'll cover it below. We’ll explain why we built this tool, and show just how handy it can be. Why privacy protocols can be hard to debug Let’s take a closer look at our motivation for creating pvcli. Over time, the Privacy team’s product suite and customer base grew. We added products like Privacy Proxy and Privacy Gateway, which power Apple’s Private Relay , Microsoft’s Edge Secure Network VPN , Flo Health’s Anonymous Mode , and more. With it came an increasing amount of special customer requirements, domain knowledge, and complexity. As a result, we saw increased friction in development and incident response. To see this in action, let’s look at how one of our products implements

Maybe money was paid, or maybe Origin made some promises to restrain the hounds if commitments about data deletion were made.

Border Gateway Protocol ( BGP ) is the de facto routing protocol of the Internet. It offers built-in mechanisms to allow entities, represented by Autonomous Systems (ASes), to express how they want to send and receive traffic on the Internet. One such mechanism is path attributes , which carry essential routing information and metadata for their associated route. The path selection algorithm processes some of these path attributes in a deterministic sequence to calculate the best path for this specific prefix. Using our unique position on the Internet, we took an investigative look at one of the well-known mandatory attributes in BGP, the ORIGIN attribute. ORIGIN must be present in every BGP prefix announcement and should not be modified by any router after being set by the originating one. What we found through our own experiments was a dramatic ~70% of observed paths in numerous vantage points have a different ORIGIN value compared to what was set by the originating Autonomous System. This ORIGIN attribute manipulation has a significant impact on the way traffic is forwarded on the Internet, as we’ll explore in this post. BGP ORIGIN and its operational history The ORIGIN attribute indicates how a route was injected into BGP — not to be confused with the origin AS that ind

Today we’re excited to announce Cache Response Rules. These are a new rule type that runs after an origin server replies but before Cloudflare caches the content. If you've ever been irked watching something that should easily sail out of cache get dragged back to the origin by a stray Set-Cookie or wrong Cache-Control , headers that are sometimes hard or impossible to strip or change on the origin itself, then Cache Response Rules is that fix, applied at exactly the right moment. When and how caching decisions are made A CDN cache and an origin server work as a pair. Their goal is to answer from the cache whenever possible and only go back to the origin when the edge can’t respond. Every point of cache hit ratio comes from getting that division of labor right. Check the cache when we shouldn't, and we waste a lookup that was always going to miss. Check it too rarely, the origin serves traffic the edge should have absorbed, and the performance win evaporates. Importantly, the origin guides the cache. When it returns a cacheable asset, its response headers tell Cloudflare how long it’s OK to serve it, when and how to revalidate, and even whether to cache it at all. The cache is only ever as efficient as the origin allows. If the origin gets it wrong, cache becomes decoration while the origin infrastructure costs skyrocket. Most cache eligibility problems are not decided at request time. They manifest after the origin replies. A visitor asks for /static/app.js . Cloudflare checks cache, it misses, and forwards the request to the origin. The origin returns the file. Somewhere in those response headers, quietly, is a Set-Cookie header. The asset that should have been cached at every Cloudflare data center is now uncacheable. Multiply that by every visitor, on every site, with the same accidental header, and you have a

VU#492466: Logto Identity Platform has authentication and authorization failures in core protocol handling
Overview The Logto platform contains multiple vulnerabilities affecting the identity‑processing pipeline. These flaws reduce the reliability of authentication and authorization decisions and may allow attackers to bypass account‑ownership checks, skip MFA, replay externally issued SSO responses, or submit identity assertions without proper cryptographic or validity checks. Collectively, the issues create several paths for unauthorized access across both local and federated sign‑in flows. Description Developed by Silverhand Inc., Logto is an identity and access management system for software as a service (SaaS) and AI applications. It provides multi‑tenant authentication, single sign-on (SSO), role-based access control (RBAC), support for openId connect (OIDC), open authorization (OAuth) 2.1, and Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) authentication. Several vulnerabilities have been identified in Logto's authentication and SSO components that weaken core identity‑security protections across these protocols. CVE-2026-15611 Logto allows unverified email-based SSO account linking. If a new SSO login arrives and no existing (issuer, identityId) account is found, Logto searches for a local user by the email address supplied by the identity provider (IdP) and links the SSO identity to that account. Logto does not require the IdP to confirm email_verified before linking, so an attacker who registers the victim's email at a permissive upstream IdP can take over the victim's existing account on first login. CVE-2026-15612 Logto stores a nonce in the connector session at authorization request time and expects the returned id_token to echo it back. The valida

VU#847406: Duplicati backup software v2.3.0.1 is vulnerable to an incorrect permission assignment vulnerability
Overview Duplicati v2.3.0.1 is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution when installed outside the default C:\Program Files\Duplicati 2\ directory. An attacker with local user privileges who can write files to the Duplicati installation directory can execute arbitrary code by placing malicious files, such as DLLs, in that directory. To mitigate this vulnerability, install Duplicati in the default C:\Program Files\ directory or update to the latest fixed version. Description Duplicati is a free, open-source backup solution that stores data across cloud and local storage platforms. On Windows, Duplicati is distributed as an MSI installer. By default, the installer deploys the application to C:\Program Files\Duplicati 2\ , where the directory inherits the standard protected ACLs provided by Windows. The following vulnerability affects Duplicati v2.3.0.1: CVE-2026-16157 During installation, the MSI registers a LocalSystem service that executes binaries from the Duplicati installation directory. When the default installation path under C:\Program Files\ is used, the directory is protected by the appropriate ACLs. However, if Duplicati is installed to a non-default location, the installer does not apply equivalent permissions to the installation directory. As a result, standard local users may have write access to files within the installation directory, allowing an attacker to place malicious files, such as DLLs, that may be loaded by the LocalSystem service, resulting in arbitrary code execution with elevated privileges. Impact A local attacker with write access to a non-default Duplica
Without the right tools, no security operations centre (SOC) can do its job properly. A SOC platform brings together a range of security technologies that let your analysts rapidly identify threats, investigate them and implement fixes. There are many cybersecurity tools that an SOC can use, and there are many vendors selling comparable products. The […] The post Top 4 Best SOC Platforms 2026 – Provider Comparison appeared first on Heimdal Security Blog .
I found and reported an authentication failure in the WPForms PayPal Commerce webhook, the webhook route being public was not the vulnerability as webhooks have to be publicly reachable so that PayPal can deliver events. The problem was what happened after the request arrived. In affected versions, the handler could process a supported event before establishing that PayPal was actually the sender. In my local lab, a forged event could change the state of a matching payment record. The expected order is: 1. Authenticate the sender 2. Validate the event 3. Change payment state The affected flow effectively performed steps 2 and 3 without first completing step 1. The issue was fixed in WPForms [1.10.0.5](http://1.10.0.5) and is tracked as CVE-2026-4986. Then came the part I found more interesting: triage told me I was reporter #11. That number does not prove exploitation, and it does not tell us the total number of people who found the vulnerability. It does establish a lower bound: at least eleven researchers independently converged on the same trust failure. The write up covers: \- the vulnerable code path \- my local reproduction \- why payload validation was not sender authentication \- the fallback listener \- the patch \- why duplicate reports may be useful rediscovery intelligence Full write-up: [https://blog.himanshuanand.com/2026/07/reporter-11-10-people-found-the-wpforms-paypal-bug-before-me-cve-2026-4986/](https://blog.himanshuanand.com/2026/07/reporter-11-10-people-found-the-wpforms-paypal-bug-before-me-cve-2026-4986/) Testing was limited to my own local environment. I am not claiming original CVE credit; I independently rediscovered and reported the issue. Disclosure: I wrote and performed the research, code review and local reproduction. I used an AI to help copy edit and organize the final article. Should duplicate report volume affect how urgently a vendor treats a vulnerability?
In a recent security assessment, we were unable to intercept the traffic originating from a WebView from an Android application. The application wasn’t using certificate pinning, nor was it configured in any special way that would prevent normal interception. When testing that same application on a different device, the traffic could be intercepted directly, confirming our belief that the issue was the device, not the application. TL;DR: Chromium now enforces
Federal lawyers say anti-mask laws would endanger immigration agents, citing an ICE face-recognition art project that doesn’t actually work.
