1. Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect Authentication Bypass (CVE-2026-0257) Under Active Exploitation
Published: Early June 2026 (advisory May 13, exploitation noted mid-May onward)
Attackers are actively exploiting a critical authentication bypass vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS GlobalProtect portal and gateway, allowing unauthorized VPN access without valid credentials. The flaw affects specific configurations with authentication override cookies enabled. CISA added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, urging immediate patching. Limited but ongoing exploit attempts have been observed across environments.
2. DentaQuest Data Breach Exposes 2.6 Million Accounts via ShinyHunters
Published: June 2026 (incident in May)
Dental benefits administrator DentaQuest confirmed a cybersecurity incident involving unauthorized access. ShinyHunters claimed responsibility, leaking data including names, addresses, emails, phone numbers, dates of birth, and health/insurance details for approximately 2.6 million accounts. The group used extortion tactics common in their 2026 campaigns.
3. Cisco Patches Critical Unified CM Flaw (CVE-2026-20230) with Public Exploit Code
Published: June 4, 2026
Cisco addressed a server-side request forgery vulnerability in Unified Communications Manager that allows unauthenticated network attackers to write arbitrary files, potentially leading to root privileges. Proof-of-concept exploit code is now public, increasing urgency for patching despite no confirmed in-the-wild attacks yet.
4. China-Linked TA4922 Group Expands Phishing with New RATs to Europe and Beyond
Published: June 4, 2026
The financially motivated TA4922 (overlapping with Silver Fox) has broadened operations to the UK, Germany, Italy, and South Africa using ValleyRAT, Atlas RAT, and new loaders like RomulusLoader and SilentRunLoader. Proofpoint highlights the group’s rapid evolution and focus on remote access for data theft and fraud.
5. New HTTP/2 Bomb DoS Attack Crashes Web Servers in Seconds
Published: June 3, 2026
A novel denial-of-service technique dubbed “HTTP/2 Bomb” can take down vulnerable web servers from a single machine in under a minute by exploiting protocol weaknesses. CISA and others are alerting organizations to mitigate this emerging availability threat.
6. Supply Chain and Open-Source Attacks Continue: IronWorm npm Malware and More
Published: June 4, 2026
A supply-chain attack infected 36 npm packages with IronWorm infostealer malware. Broader trends show ongoing compromises of tools like Trivy, Bitwarden, and others, impacting downstream users including major tech firms. Attackers leverage these for credential theft and further breaches.
7. CISA Warns of Attacks on Fuel Tank Monitoring Systems and Active Android/Linux Exploits
Published: June 3, 2026
CISA, FBI, and partners issued alerts on hackers targeting internet-exposed automatic tank gauge (ATG) systems in critical infrastructure. Separate warnings cover active exploitation of vulnerabilities in Android and Linux kernels.
8. Claude Code GitHub Action Flaw Enables Repository Hijacking via Malicious Issues
Published: June 4, 2026
A vulnerability in Anthropic’s Claude Code GitHub Action allowed attackers to hijack repositories with a single malicious issue. Fixed in v1.0.94, it underscores risks in AI-integrated CI/CD pipelines with broad permissions.
