NetScaler vulnerability exploited, AdaptHealth suffers breach, new Android malware

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) warned of a critical vulnerability in NetScaler, identified as CVE-2026-19490, with a CVSS score of 9.3, which has been exploited and affects all NetScaler ADC and Gateway appliances. Citrix has patched this vulnerability as of August 19. AdaptHealth reported a data breach affecting over 4.1 million individuals, compromising personal, health, and insurance information, but not Social Security numbers or financial data. A new strain of Android malware, MantaxOtax, attributed to Indonesian threat actors, combines ransomware and spyware, stealing sensitive information and affecting older Android versions. The Gigabud banking trojan has evolved to evade detection by installing a secondary app that hides the malicious application. CISA acting director Nick Andersen emphasized the need for swift adaptation to cybersecurity threats and highlighted staffing improvements within CISA. Russian e-commerce giant Wildberries experienced disruptions from a DDoS attack affecting payments to sellers, following claims of a cyber operation by Ukraine's military intelligence. McKesson faced a cyberattack exposing sensitive data of 6.4 million individuals, with the ShinyHunters group releasing this data after a failed extortion attempt. IDScan confirmed a data breach affecting 150 million individuals, resulting in the theft of personally identifiable information and government-issued documents.

ReProgman – The Windows 3.1 interface on PC and Mac

Developer Mayuki Sawatari has created ReProgman, a modern homage to the Windows 3.1 Program Manager, which operates on both Windows 11 and macOS. The application mimics the early '90s interface, scanning the Start menu on Windows or the Applications folder on Mac to organize programs into groups without altering actual shortcuts. Users can drag and drop icons, utilize classic window arrangements, and experience a recreated exit dialog box. The project was initially developed in just an hour, with a detailed specification document available in its git repository. ReProgman is released under the MIT license and is available as a standalone binary, though Mac users need to adjust permissions to run it. Currently, it supports only Windows 11 on x64 and Arm architectures and macOS on Apple Silicon, excluding Windows 10 and Intel Macs.

U.S. CISA adds Microsoft Windows, N-able N-central, and Adobe flaws to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has expanded its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, adding critical vulnerabilities that need immediate attention. 1. CVE-2026-75650: A vulnerability in Adobe Commerce and Magento with a CVSS score of 10.0, allowing unauthenticated remote code execution. Affected versions include Magento Open Source releases 2.4.7, 2.4.8, and 2.4.9. It has been actively exploited since September 4. 2. CVE-2026-81963: A Microsoft Windows vulnerability with a CVSS score of 7.8, related to a link-following issue within the Update Stack, allowing local attackers to escalate privileges. It is currently being exploited. 3. CVE-2026-85880: Another Microsoft Windows vulnerability rated at 7.8, involving a heap-based buffer overflow in the ALPC component, permitting local privilege escalation. This flaw is also actively exploited. 4. CVE-2026-86218: A N-able N-central vulnerability with a CVSS score of 10.0, allowing pre-authenticated remote code execution. N-able has released an emergency hotfix for this issue. Federal agencies must address these vulnerabilities by specified deadlines: Windows flaws by September 22 and other vulnerabilities by September 11, 2026, in accordance with Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01. Private organizations are advised to review the KEV catalog and take necessary actions to strengthen their infrastructure against these vulnerabilities.

8 Antivirus (Endpoint Protection) Software for Business: Our Top Picks by Use Case (2026)

If you hold Microsoft 365 E5, you have access to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, which provides enterprise-grade endpoint protection at no additional cost. For organizations without a dedicated security specialist, Sophos is recommended for its user-friendly platform. CrowdStrike is suggested for those with a mature Security Operations Center (SOC) and sufficient budget. Other options include SentinelOne for mid-sized organizations needing automation, ESET for older hardware and virtual desktops, Avast Business for very small businesses, VIPRE for budget-conscious mixed estates, and Expel for tool-agnostic managed detection and response. Antivirus and EDR are now unified under a single agent, and organizations should inquire about update staging processes to avoid issues like those experienced in July 2024 with a major vendor's faulty content update. Independent tests from organizations like AV-Comparatives and AV-TEST are crucial for evaluating protection rates and false positives. Linux servers require attention as they are often targeted by ransomware. When deploying endpoint protection, avoid running two real-time agents simultaneously, activate prevention features promptly, and test deployments on critical applications first. Organizations should confirm their Microsoft licensing covers necessary features and ensure there is a plan for responding to alerts. Common pitfalls include neglecting identity management and failing to test response workflows before incidents occur.

CVE-2026-85880 and CVE-2026-81963: Microsoft Patches Two Actively Exploited Windows Zero-Days

Microsoft's Patch Tuesday on September 8, 2026, addressed two critical Windows privilege escalation vulnerabilities: CVE-2026-85880 and CVE-2026-81963, both with a CVSS score of 7.8. CVE-2026-85880 is a heap-based buffer overflow in the Windows Advanced Local Procedure Call (ALPC), allowing attackers with low-privilege local access to escalate privileges to SYSTEM. CVE-2026-81963 involves improper link resolution in the Windows Update Stack, enabling similar privilege escalation. Both vulnerabilities require no user interaction and have been actively exploited prior to the patch release. CISA added them to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on September 8, 2026, with a remediation deadline of September 22 for U.S. federal agencies. CVE-2026-85880 affects various Windows 10 and Server versions but excludes Windows 11 and Windows Server 2025. CVE-2026-81963 impacts newer Windows platforms, including Windows 11 and Windows Server 2025. Microsoft released security updates for both vulnerabilities on September 8, 2026, and organizations are advised to prioritize these updates. Security teams should monitor for signs of privilege escalation and unusual SYSTEM-level activities related to these vulnerabilities.
