Cyber Threat Briefing
THREAT LEVEL ASSESSMENT
The current threat landscape is elevated to CRITICAL due to the emergence of four critical-severity CVEs (CVSS ≥9.6) and 11 high-severity vulnerabilities within the past 24–12 hours. Key vulnerabilities in OpenS100, Glory RBG-100, and WordPress plugins enable remote code execution, privilege escalation, and credential exposure. Additionally, CISA has added 10 new Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) with imminent remediation deadlines (≤28 days), including critical flaws in Microsoft Windows, BeyondTrust, and Apple products. Active C2 infrastructure for QakBot and the rapid spread of the Kimwolf IoT botnet (2M+ devices) further heighten risk. Organizations must prioritize patching and monitoring for actively exploited threats.
CRITICAL VULNERABILITIES
| CVE | Product | CVSS | Status | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2026-22208 | OpenS100 S-100 Viewer | 9.6 | No active exploitation confirmed | Remote code execution via unrestricted Lua interpreter |
| CVE-2026-23647 | Glory RBG-100 Recycler | 9.8 | No active exploitation confirmed | Hard-coded credentials enable remote Linux system authentication |
| CVE-2026-1937 | YayMail WordPress Plugin | 9.8 | No active exploitation confirmed | Missing capability check allows privilege escalation via AJAX actions |
ACTIVE EXPLOITS & KEV
| CVE | Product | Deadline |
|---|---|---|
| CVE-2026-1731 | BeyondTrust Remote Support (RS) and Privileged Remote Access (PRA) | 2026-02-16 |
| CVE-2026-2441 | Google Chromium | 2026-03-10 |
| CVE-2026-20700 | Apple Multiple Products | 2026-03-05 |

MALWARE & THREAT ACTORS
Feodo Tracker identifies active C2 infrastructure for QakBot (178.62.3.223:443), currently offline. The Kimwolf IoT botnet (2M+ devices) is actively conducting DDoS attacks and data exfiltration, with CISA and Krebs reporting corporate/government network infiltration. Keenadu Android firmware backdoors (CVE-2025-40536) are being exploited for persistent data harvesting. Aisuru and Kimwolf botnets are prioritized targets under CISA’s KEV remediation mandates.
