Security news from the last 24 hours at The Hacker News:
⚡ Weekly Recap: WordPress RCE, SonicWall 0-Days, AI Service Attacks, SharePoint 0-Day and More
A single request should not be able to do this much. But this week, small inputs led to code execution, memory loss, stolen keys, and disabled security tools.
The paths were often simple: exposed systems, weak checks, old drivers, fake prompts, and public code used for malware delivery. Some bugs were new. Others were already being used before defenders had time to patch.
Here is the full [...].
Russian Intelligence Hacks IP Cameras to Spy on Military Logistics Across NATO States and Ukraine
At least one Russian intelligence service is systematically hijacking internet-connected security cameras across Europe and Ukraine, using the feeds to watch military transport routes, weapons shipments bound for Kyiv, and the locations of Ukrainian troops.
That is the finding of a cybersecurity advisory published July 10 by the AIVD and MIVD, the Netherlands' civilian and military intelligence [...].
Mythos Didn't Break Your Security Program. Your Exposure Window Could.
The industry spent the initial months after Anthropic's April 7 Mythos reveal focused on volume. How many new CVEs would Mythos add to an already overloaded pipeline? How quickly would the flood of AI-driven discovery overwhelm triage capabilities? How long would it take adversaries to weaponize Mythos findings at scale? Those questions were and remain valid. Yet they all stop short of [...].
New 7-Zip Vulnerability Could Let Crafted XZ Archives Run Code During Extraction
Opening a crafted XZ archive in 7-Zip could let an attacker run code on the machine. The flaw, CVE-2026-14266, is a heap-based buffer overflow in how the archiver processes XZ chunked data, and Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) detailed it on July 15. A fix shipped on June 25 in 7-Zip 26.02.
The overflow lets an attacker "execute code in the context of the current process," per the [...].
Russian-Speaking Hacker Uses Google Gemini CLI to Control Botnet of Eight Dental Clinic PCs
A solo Russian-speaking threat actor known as "bandcampro" outsourced a chunk of their operations to Google's open-source Gemini CLI artificial intelligence (AI) and commandeered a live botnet.
The findings come from an analysis of 200 Gemini CLI session logs between March 19 and April 21, 2026, which found the threat actor using AI, among other things, to crack passwords, set up a residential [...].
World's Largest AI Model Repository Hugging Face Breached by Autonomous AI Agent
In an ironic twist, open-source artificial intelligence (AI) platform Hugging Face revealed that it was the victim of a hack perpetrated by an autonomous AI agent system.
The company said it detected and responded to the incident targeting its production infrastructure earlier last week.
"We identified unauthorized access to a limited set of internal datasets and to several credentials used by [...].
SleeperGem Uses Three Malicious RubyGems Packages to Target Developer Machines
Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a new software supply chain attack codenamed SleeperGem targeting the Ruby ecosystem after three malicious gems were published to RubyGems with the end goal of serving additional payloads.
The rogue gems are listed below -
git_credential_manager (versions 2.8.0, 2.8.1, 2.8.2, 2.8.3) - Published on July 18, 2026
Dendreo (versions 1.1.3, 1.1.4) - [...].
Critical NGINX Vulnerability Can Crash Workers and May Allow Remote Code Execution
F5 has shipped fixes for a critical nginx flaw that lets a remote, unauthenticated attacker trigger a heap buffer overflow in the worker process with crafted HTTP requests. CVE-2026-42533 was patched on July 15 in nginx 1.30.4 (stable) and 1.31.3 (mainline), and in NGINX Plus 37.0.3.1; anyone on an earlier build should upgrade.
Triggering it can crash or restart the worker, causing a denial of [...].
