On April 28, 2026, cPanel issued a security update to fix a critical vulnerability affecting the cPanel & WHM and WP Squared products. In the cPanel release notes, the bug was described as "an issue with session loading and saving." CVE-2026-41940, the identifier subsequently assigned on April 29, 2026, has a CVSS score of 9.8 and allows unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass authentication and gain unauthorized administrative access to the affected systems. First-party cPanel & WHM and WP Squared vendor advisories are available.
cPanel & WHM is web hosting control panel software used to manage websites and servers. WHM provides root-level administration, while cPanel acts as the user-facing interface. Successful exploitation of CVE-2026-41940 grants an attacker control over the cPanel host system, its configurations and databases, and websites it manages. A naive Shodan query for potential targets returns approximately 1.5 million cPanel instances exposed to the internet that may be vulnerable.
A managed cPanel host, KnownHost, stated that CVE-2026-41940 is actively being exploited in the wild, with speculation of targeted zero-day exploitation happening as early as February 23, 2026, prior to the vulnerability’s public disclosure. Security firm watchTowr has published a technical analysis and proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2026-41940. As such, widespread exploitation in the wild is expected to be imminent.
Technical overview
Systems exposing the affected web service software are vulnerable by default.
As of April 29, 2026, a technical analysis and proof-of-concept exploit have been published by security firm watchTowr. CVE-2026-41940 is an authentication bypass caused by a Carriage Return Line Feed (CRLF) injection in the login and session loading processes of cPanel & WHM.
Before authentication occurs, `cpsrvd` (the cPanel service daemon) writes a new session file to the disk. The vulnerability allows an attacker to manipulate the `whostmgrsession` cookie by omitting an expected segment of the cookie value, avoiding the encryption process typically applied to an attacker-provided value. Attackers can inject raw `\r\n` characters via a malicious basic authorization header, and the system subsequently writes the session file without sanitizing the data. As a result, the attacker can insert arbitrary properties, such as `user=root`, into their session file. After triggering a reload of the session from the file, the attacker establishes administrator-level access for their token.
Mitigation guidance
Organizations running on-premise instances of cPanel & WHM or WP Squared should prioritize upgrading to a fixed version on an emergency basis. Some hosting providers have opted to temporarily institute workaround TCP port blocks for cPanel & WHM web services on ports 2083 and 2087. However, defenders are strongly advised to patch, rather than implement workarounds.

April 30, 2026: Update mitigation guidance with additional fixed version numbers and change wording to reflect availability of vulnerability checks.
On March 30, 2026, a security advisory was published for a critical vulnerability affecting Nginx UI. Nginx UI is an open-source web interface to centralize the management of Nginx configurations and SSL certificates. The critical vulnerability, CVE-2026-33032, was reported in early March by Pluto Security researcher Yotam Perkal and subsequently patched on March 15, 2026. That same day, Pluto Security published a technical blog post with some vulnerability details.
CVE-2026-33032 is a missing authentication bug with a CVSS score of 9.8; as a result of missing authentication controls, an unauthenticated attacker who exploits CVE-2026-27944 to leak information can access a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that can perform privileged operations on managed Nginx web servers. Systems are vulnerable in the default IP allowlist configuration, which allows any remote IP to access MCP functionality. Exploitation results in full attacker control of the managed Nginx service.
According to a Recorded Future report published on April 13, 2026, exploitation of CVE-2026-33032 in the wild has begun. A PurpleOps report published on April 16, 2026 associated exploitation of CVE-2026-33032 in the wild with the information leak vulnerability CVE-2026-27944, indicating that these two vulnerabilities are being exploited as a chain.
Mitigation guidance
Organizations running Nginx UI should prioritize updating on an urgent basis to remediate CVE-2026-33032. Additionally, to reduce exposure to future vulnerabilities affecting Nginx UI, defenders should ensure that network access to the Nginx UI management interface is strictly limited to those who must have it.
Affected versions:
According to the finder’s blog post, version 2.3.3 and prior are affected, and the fix is presentin version 2.3.4 and later. However the official CVE record states that versions 2.3.5 and below are affected. The information leak vulnerability being exploited in the wild with CVE-2026-33032, CVE-2026-27944, was patched in version 2.3.3. This discrepancy in affected version numbers introduces confusion as to the correct version required to remediate CVE-2026-33032. To avoid this version number discrepancy, users are advised to update to the very latest version (2.3.6).
Please read the vendor advisory for the latest guidance.

Rapid7’s Incident Response (IR) team was engaged to investigate an incident involving exploitation of CVE-2025-59718 against a vulnerable FortiGate appliance. In December 2025, Fortinet disclosed this improper verification of cryptographic signature vulnerability that facilitates an SSO login bypass on affected appliances. After the initial exploitation, the attackers maintained a low-profile posture, systematically compromising additional firewalls before moving to internal network hosts. Ultimately, this grace period allowed responders to contain the threat before further impact could occur within the environment. This blog details exploitation insights, attack progression, and practical detection opportunities for defenders handling their own environments.
Investigative methodology: Tracing the initial access vector in FortiGate appliances
Identifying the Initial Access Vector (IAV) is a cornerstone of any incident response engagement. However, when the source of compromise is not immediately obvious, particularly when edge device exploitation is involved, responders often need to take a broader investigative approach. Rather than starting with a clear point of entry, investigators must analyze the available telemetry, reconstruct attacker activity, and work backwards to determine how access was first obtained.
This process often involves multiple investigative workstreams running in parallel, each designed to answer different questions about the intrusion. As many IR responders and enthusiasts know, the first suspicious event observed during an investigation is rarely the first action taken by the attacker. Instead, it typically represents a point somewhere in the middle of a larger attack chain.
A key step in incident response investigations is reconstructing the attacker timeline. Responders often take an “inside out” approach where they move outward from the initial alert to the full scope of the malicious activity (IAV), correlating multiple data sources to map the unfolding of the event. This process involves examining authentication logs, endpoint telemetry, firewall events, and records of system changes, rather than depending on just one log source. It also typically requires frequent pivoting between artifacts as investigations rarely ever unfold in a linear fashion. By aligning these findings and events chronologically, investigators often identify activity that predates the initial alert.
The first activity that drew attention was enumeration and credential discovery within the internal environment. This basic enumeration included gathering information about users, systems, and accessible resources within common user directories. This activity eventually expanded to SMB-based file scraping and network share access, allowing attackers to review files stored across the environment. While this behavior resembled routine administration, the chronological sequence of file scraping and network share access painted a clear picture of an attacker’s initial discovery phase.
Digging deeper into the credential discovery activity, the popular tool Mimikatz was utilized to harvest credentials from various sources within the impacted environment. The attacker’s objective was to obtain valid credentials to an elevated admin account with the goal to blend in.
With credentials in hand and mimicking admin activity to disguise their actions, the attacker was then enabled to move laterally throughout the environment using common administrative tools and access methods. PsExec and Microsoft Remote Desktop (RDP) were two tools utilized for lateral movement while standard web browsers facilitated application access.
Attackers appeared particularly interested in systems that could provide broader access to the environment, including virtualization platforms, domain controllers, and servers supporting backup infrastructure. These systems often represent high-value targets for attackers seeking to escalate privileges, access sensitive data, or disrupt recovery capabilities.
Responders were working simultaneously to contain the attacker while building the narrative to cut them off at the source. With the current understanding of the narrative, the IAV puzzle began to unravel as more information came to light. Strangely, the first authentication into the Windows environment originated from an internal IP address that did not align with the known internal IP address ranges. It turns out, this internal IP address fell within the DHCP lease range of the FortiGate device. At first glance, this could be written off as legitimate VPN activity. However, to create even more questions, it was revealed that the FortiGate SSL VPN was never turned on within this environment. This revelation made the FortiGate device a prime suspect for IAV.
Taking a closer look at the FortiGate device, specifically system logs and configuration data, revealed early indications that the device had been modified to support continued access. The SSL VPN component had been enabled, and multiple configuration changes were identified, including edits to VPN settings, the creation of new firewall policies, and adjustments to configuration parameters. These changes appeared in FortiGate system logs as configuration updates similar to the following:
While these types of changes may seem routine in isolation, it is the combination and timing of these actions that raises concerns from a responder's perspective. The investigation's next key clue was identified when the source of these changes was traced back to a newly created account.
Following this thread further, investigators identified that multiple accounts had been created on the device, including SSO administrator, system administrator, and local accounts. Several of these accounts were associated with email domains attributed to Namecheap-hosted infrastructure, including domains such as openmail[.]pro. Notably, some of the newly created SSO administrator accounts were linked to forticloud.com domains as reflected in log entries such as:
For responders, the creation of multiple new administrative accounts is often a strong indicator of persistence being established. Continuing to work backwards through the timeline, investigators identified that prior to these account creation events, the device’s configuration file was downloaded through the FortiGate UI. From an investigative perspective, configuration exports are highly valuable to attackers because they effectively serve as a blueprint of the environment, exposing network architecture, authentication mechanisms/settings, device relationships, and occasionally, sensitive credentials.
logid="0100032095" type="event" subtype="system" level="warning"
vd="root" logdesc="Admin performed an action from GUI" user="admin"
ui="GUI(104.28.227[.]105)" action="download" status="success"
msg="System config file has been downloaded by user admin via GUI(104.28.227[.]105)"
⠀
The session associated with the configuration download was established from an external IP address flagged as “malicious” by security vendors with a local account already present on the device. All of these new findings from the attacker’s actions can now be utilized as IOCs to scope available FortiGate logs to determine any other leads.
By correlating activity with the known malicious IP addresses, investigators identified the true entry point: administrative SSO logins to the FortiGate appliance with valid accounts. Another important detail was that there was no evidence of brute-forcing activity for these local accounts. The initial access was established approximately two weeks before any subsequent malicious activity, indicating the attacker used this time to secure consistent access to the environment via the FortiGate device.
Actions such as changing configurations, creating accounts, and downloading configurations might seem harmless individually. However, when viewed together, these activities established a clear pattern consistent with the exploitation of CVE-2025-59718 that facilitated authentication bypass.
Once this groundwork was established through persistence mechanisms and discovery, attackers began authenticating into the environment with their newly created accounts via the SSL VPN connections that led us to investigate the FortiGate device in the first place. These sessions effectively transformed the firewall into an ingress point into the internal network, allowing attackers to move beyond the edge device.
This investigation highlights a common reality in incident response where the first indicator of suspicious activity is rarely the beginning of the story. Instead, responders are often working from a point somewhere in the middle, tasked with reconstructing attacker behavior and peeling back layers of activity to uncover how access was first obtained.
By following the digital breadcrumbs left behind within available evidence sources, investigators were able to trace the intrusion back to its origin. This process emphasizes the importance of working backward through artifacts and telemetry, recognizing that each piece of data may lead to an earlier stage of attacker activity.
Network edge devices such as firewalls and VPN appliances are often the main vectors of initial access. Despite being critical infrastructure in modern environments, full visibility is rarely achieved in comparison to monitored endpoints. These edge devices can provide valuable evidence during investigations and reveal how initial access went unnoticed.
Conclusion: Key takeaways for defenders
The human element of investigation is crucial. Effective investigations demand a mindset of curiosity; on one side the willingness to dig deeper, and on the other, the ability to look at the big picture. At face value these can seem contradictory, but each facilitates a specific role within an incident response investigation.
Curiosity is what drives responders to grapple with the initial evidence, question assumptions, and identify which threads are worth pulling. It allows responders to move beyond surface-level observations and begin forming hypotheses about what may have occurred. The willingness to dive deeper is what turns those hypotheses into answers. Rather than stopping at the first suspicious event, responders must continue pivoting across logs, correlating activity, and tracing actions further back in time. At the same time, maintaining a big-picture perspective is critical. Individual artifacts or events may appear benign in isolation but when viewed chronologically the attacker behavior emerges.
Looking past any specific incident response methodology, visibility into the environment is essential. Even the strongest investigative approach is limited without access to the right telemetry, thus preventing responders from fully reconstructing an intrusion. In particular, as seen within this investigation, visibility into edge device activity can play a crucial role in unraveling IAV. The network edge is a hostile environment yet is frequently less monitored.
As is often the case with externally facing services and devices, the network edge is constantly targeted. Due to the sheer volume of persistent targeting, this environment can prove difficult to monitor for successful malicious intrusions. Implementing centralized syslog monitoring across these edge devices can close these visibility gaps. It can provide a real-time audit trail of connection attempts, configuration changes, and potential exploit signatures that occur before a threat reaches the internal network.
By effectively pulling on each investigative thread and ensuring visibility across both internal systems and edge devices, defenders can uncover compromises that might otherwise remain hidden. Often, the path to the beginning of the intrusion is already present; it simply requires knowing where, and how, to look.

In 2025, high-impact vulnerabilities weren’t quietly accumulating risk. They were operationalized, and often within days.
Today, Rapid7 Labs released the 2026 Global Threat Landscape Report, an in-depth analysis of how attacker behavior is evolving across vulnerability exploitation, ransomware operations, identity abuse, and AI-driven tradecraft. The data shows a clear pattern: exposure is being identified and weaponized faster than most organizations are set up to defend.
From disclosure to exploitation in days, not weeks
In 2025, confirmed exploitation of newly disclosed CVSS 7–10 vulnerabilities increased 105% year over year, rising from 71 to 146. The median time from publication to inclusion in CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities list fell from 8.5 days to 5.0 days.
At the same time, the number of high-probability vulnerabilities that remained unexploited dropped sharply. The buffer that once allowed teams to triage and schedule remediation is shrinking to the point where some severe flaws were seen to have been exploited almost immediately.
The broader trend is unmistakable: vulnerability management programs built around reactive remediation cycles are struggling to keep pace with adversaries operating at machine speed.
Cybercrime as a structured market
Cybercrime in 2025 no longer resembles chaotic hacking. It resembles platform capitalism.
The report highlights how the underground economy now mirrors legitimate SaaS ecosystems. Initial Access Brokers obtain and validate network footholds. Ransomware operators focus on encryption and extortion. Infostealer operators sell subscription-style access to fresh credential logs.
This specialization lowers barriers to entry and increases scale creating a supply chain in which access is acquired, packaged, priced, and sold to anyone who wants it.
Ransomware is a good example of this business maturity. It was present in 42% of Rapid7 MDR investigations in 2025 with leak posts increasing 46.4% year over year, and the number of active groups growing from 102 to 140. That kind of growth is anything but random or coincidental: it is an indication of systemic changes to the ransomware ecosystem indicating growing sophistication, specialization, and, ultimately, risk.
Logging in, not breaking in
Authentication-based attacks remain incredibly common as the lack of consistency across organizations can lead to easy exploitation. Valid accounts without multi-factor authentication (MFA) were responsible for 43.9% of incidents over that year. Rather than forcing their way past defenses, attackers increasingly authenticate with stolen credentials, hijacked sessions, or abused tokens. This is where the increase in AI-driven attacks is particularly acute with the benefits generative AI can play in improving the maturity and sophistication of social engineering attacks.
As enterprises extend trust across cloud platforms, SaaS ecosystems, APIs, and remote work environments, authentication systems have become the backbone of operational control. This represents a structural shift with the control layer of cyber risk moving away from network perimeters toward authentication flows.
Attacks are using reliable vectors, just at alarming speeds
One hallmark of the attack landscape in 2025 was the use of tried and true attack vectors rather than novel exploits and zero-day vulnerabilities. CVE disclosures continued to climb last year, but confirmed exploitation clustered around dependable weakness types like deserialization, authentication bypass, and memory corruption vulnerabilities.
Attackers are targeting flaws that enable pre-authentication access, repeatable execution, and rapid data theft. They are not, necessarily, chasing every vulnerability. Just the ones they deem reliable. This pattern reinforces a key theme of the report: exploitability and context matter more than raw volume.
AI as an accelerant
AI is serving as a force multiplier and an expanding attack surface at the same time.
Generative AI is accelerating established attack methods by reducing the time, skill, and coordination previously required to execute them at scale. Rather than introducing entirely new categories of exploitation, threat actors are integrating AI into existing workflows to industrialize phishing, automate reconnaissance, and refine malicious scripts with greater speed and precision.
AI-assisted phishing campaigns were more polished and tailored to specific industries or executive roles, reflecting a measurable improvement in personalization and believability. They accelerated open-source intelligence collection to create details from fragmented data. AI was used to troubleshoot malware development in near real time, effectively compressing the cycle between initial research and malware deployment. The result is not radical technical innovation, but efficiency, speed, and fewer missed opportunities.
Meanwhile, AI platforms themselves are emerging as targets with model servers, orchestration frameworks, and token-based integrations, inheriting familiar weaknesses such as unsafe deserialization and weak authentication. As organizations operationalize AI quickly, governance gaps create new high-impact pathways to risk.
The geography of attacks
When it comes to targeted regions, no area of the globe represents a better convergence of exposure and financial opportunity than North America. Organizations on this continent accounted for 82.04% of observed incidents, with the United States representing roughly 70% of leak posts on ransomware leak sites. Manufacturing, business services, and retail were among the most targeted industries as these sectors often combine operational dependence, sensitive data, and financial leverage making them fat targets for attackers looking for reliability not only in their attack vectors, but in gains available from their chosen targets.
Across criminal and state-aligned activity, attackers are converging on identity systems, edge infrastructure, collaboration platforms, and cloud control planes where trust, scale, and business continuity intersect.
What this means for security leaders
There is a sobering reality in this year’s data: the underlying weaknesses remain familiar. Weak credentials. Social engineering. Exposed services. Unpatched edge infrastructure.
What has changed is the speed.
Security programs can no longer rely on moving slightly faster than attackers. The model must shift toward reducing exposure before it is operationalized.
That means:
Continuous exposure visibility with contextual prioritization
Strong MFA enforcement and hardened identity controls
Protected and monitored edge infrastructure
Governance around AI systems and integrations
AI-enabled security workflows capable of matching attacker velocity
The organizations that maintain clear, continuous insight into their exposure - and reduce it before it is monetized - will be best positioned to manage risk in this accelerated cycle.
The question is no longer whether exposure exists. It is whether you can reduce it before attackers capitalize on it.
If you spend your days building, shipping, defending, or fixing systems, you already know how this goes. A new technique shows up in a research thread, someone drops a “has anyone checked if we’re exposed?” comment, and suddenly you’re juggling risk, patches, logging gaps, and whatever tool is in the blast radius this week.
That day-to-day reality is why Rapid7 Labs is launching Hacktics and Telemetry, a bi-weekly video and audio podcast with episodes built to fit into a lunch break or a commute. It’s hosted by Rapid7's Douglas McKee, bringing to the pod years of deep technical and leadership experience, then co-hosted by Jonah ‘CryptoCat’ Burgess – a strong researcher with a solid pulse on the cybersecurity community.
The format stays consistent on purpose. Each episode starts with a scan of what’s emerging, shifts into a guest conversation, then closes with a short segment that ties the story back to mitigation and tooling. The goal is simple: move past theory, show what’s happening with real examples, and leave you with something you can act on.
Episode 1: OpenClaw Risks, RCEs, and Metasploit Pro Updates
Doug and Jonah open by digging into two AI-centric stories from the past week. The first is PhoneLeak, described as data exfiltration in Gemini via phone call. It’s the kind of uncomfortable example that forces practical questions: how do you defend against mobile clickjacking when it's disguised as a routine CAPTCHA? When an AI assistant has deep extensions into a user's workspace, how do you prevent malicious prompts from quietly accessing sensitive data like 2FA codes? And perhaps most importantly, how do defenders anticipate and monitor for bizarre, out-of-the-box exfiltration methods—like an AI bypassing SMS confirmations to leak data via DTMF tones on a phone call?
The second story comes from the other side of the AI conversation: an AI agent reportedly identifying an RCE in BeyondTrust remote support, plus discussion of older privileged remote access versions. More automation can mean faster discovery, which shrinks the window between “interesting finding” and “you need to patch this.” That changes how defenders think about exposure, patch prioritization, and what “good enough” means (and looks like) when it comes to monitoring.
In the guest segment, Greg Richardson (Global Advisory CISO & AI Thought Leader, 6 Levers AI) walks through how he uses AI agents in his workflow while keeping control tight. He talks about setting tasks while he sleeps, but the constraints are the point: access is locked down, the agent only touches files he explicitly provides, communication is limited, and token limits help cap the size of any mistake. He also makes a strong case for starting small, with one task at a time, instead of trying to automate dozens of things on day one.
To close out this inaugural episode, the team hits on a SolarWinds Help Desk vulnerability, then shares a quick look at Metasploit Pro 5.0 updates – including more granular payload selection and a walkthrough of the new UI.
If your idea of useful content includes threat trade-offs, concrete mitigations, and a bit of candid “how this actually plays out,” you’re in the right place.
