Microsoft assesses that Storm-0940, a group it calls China-state aligned, was behind the ConnectWise Cloud Backup supply-chain compromise. Microsoft says the group used the open-source agentic AI framework ARTEX to abuse already-consented app identities to sign in to Microsoft 365 tenants, with follow-on Microsoft Graph activity in some of them.
CISA added CVE-2026-48356, an unrestricted file-upload flaw in Adobe Commerce and Magento, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on Oct 27, citing evidence of active exploitation. Adobe patched the flaw in APSB26-73 on July 14; federal civilian agencies must remediate by Nov 10.

A newly published CVE (CVE-2026-116199, assigned by VulnCheck on Oct 25) covers a flaw in Snipe-IT's Google SSO login. Versions before 8.6.3 didn't check whether an account was deactivated, so a former user whose Google account was still active could sign back in with their old permissions, including admin. It only applies when Google SSO is on and usernames are email addresses, and Snipe-IT says default installs aren't affected. The fix shipped in v8.6.3 on June 15, and the latest release is v8.8.3. VulnCheck scores it 9.2 Critical (CVSS 4.0) and 8.1 High (CVSS 3.1), while Snipe-IT's advisory rates it Moderate. It isn't in CISA's KEV catalog, and no public exploit or attacks have been reported.
