OpenSSH Password Authentication Bypass on Alpine Linux
CVE-2026-123158 was publicly disclosed on 5 November 2026.
An attacker reaching SSH on certain musl-based Linux systems, including Alpine Linux, may log in to accounts that should not accept passwords.
Exploitation requires OpenSSH without PAM, SSH password authentication enabled, a passwordless account and another account with a stored password hash.
Ordinary glibc-based Linux installations are not affected by this issue.
Update to the applicable fixed OpenSSH or Alpine package, then restart sshd. If patching is delayed, disable SSH password authentication after confirming key-based access works.

SecPoint MPTCP Scanner: Review Protocol Exposure
Which of your reachable services negotiate Multipath TCP?
SecPoint's standalone MPTCP scanner identifies this capability on authorized IPv4 services, helping teams review unexpected protocol exposure and confirm whether it is required.
Published research for CVE-2026-98432 included an MPTCP listener.
The scanner's result supports that exposure review.
Use the findings to identify service owners, review network access and prioritize vendor patch verification on potentially affected systems.

Ivanti Connect Secure: Exploited VPN Vulnerability Chain
Already patched your VPN in October? Check the later fixes too.
Ivanti updated its advisory on 29 October 2026 to include CVE-2026-111357 and CVE-2026-118527 alongside CVE-2026-104935.
The chain has been used to gain unauthenticated root-level access to affected VPN appliances.
The newer flaws individually require authenticated access; they are not standalone unauthenticated takeovers.
Potentially affected systems need the correct branch-specific updates and a separate review for compromise. Patching does not undo credential theft.

WordPress Core: Exploited Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
WordPress disclosed an upgrade-process vulnerability on 28 October 2026, now tracked as CVE-2026-119977. Linux and Windows installations can be affected.
During full-package core updates, an unauthenticated attacker who wins a timing race could execute code through a web-accessible temporary installer. Exploitation requires the vulnerable upgrade window, not simply an exposed website.
Protect potentially affected systems by blocking web access to the temporary upgrade directory before updating to WordPress 7.1.4 or the applicable fixed release for your branch.

Cyprus is a beautiful country, and it was a great pleasure to visit Nicosia for The Future of Cybersecurity 2026, organized by Data Ally on 23 September.
During my speaking engagement, I had the opportunity to showcase the latest SecPoint Penetrator Vulnerability Scanner and demonstrate how organizations can identify security vulnerabilities across networks, servers, web applications, and exposed services.
SecPoint Penetrator combines advanced CVE detection, authenticated Windows vulnerability and patch scanning, automated network security assessments, full 65,535 TCP port scanning, CIDR network scanning, SSL/TLS security checks, Dark Web Search, and visual network mapping.
With customizable white-label reporting, CVSS risk scoring, XLS exports, and detailed vulnerability reports, Penetrator also provides a powerful solution for IT security providers, MSPs, and cybersecurity partners looking to deliver professional vulnerability assessment services under their own brand.
With new vulnerabilities constantly being discovered and cyber threats evolving, proactive vulnerability scanning is more important than ever.
Outside the conference, I also had some time to explore the beautiful city of Nicosia with my cybersecurity book, "How They Hack You?!"
I visited the impressive Eleftheria Square, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, the historic Faneromeni Church, and the lively Ledra Street in the old town.
Nicosia is a fascinating combination of modern architecture, history, and culture. Cyprus is definitely a wonderful country to visit, with welcoming people and a great atmosphere.
Many thanks to Data Ally for organizing the event and bringing cybersecurity professionals together to exchange knowledge and discuss the future of cybersecurity.

eMudhra Certificate Trust Incident: Remote TLS Checks in SecPoint Penetrator
On 20 October 2026, Mozilla and Google disclosed weak private keys affecting eight eMudhra intermediate CAs, including six TLS issuers.
The affected intermediates issued no customer certificates, but browser vendors have blocked them and are removing trust in the related G3 root hierarchy.
SecPoint Penetrator's new remote checks inspect server-presented TLS certificate chains for exact affected eMudhra fingerprints and potential G3 certificate-trust failures.
These findings identify observable certificate exposure, not whether a server's outbound applications trust compromised CAs.
Review affected HTTPS services and migrate certificates to a trusted hierarchy where needed. Chrome's G3 root removal reaches its stable rollout from 27 October 2026.
