CISA Adds Two Ivanti Connect Secure Flaws to KEV Catalog After Confirmed Exploitation
US cybersecurity authorities have warned that two vulnerabilities in Ivanti Connect Secure (ICS) are being actively exploited in the wild. The CISA added the issues to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog on October 30, 2026.
The two flaws are identified as CVE-2026-111357 and CVE-2026-118527. Both affect the remote-access product Ivanti Connect Secure. Security researchers have also observed attacks that chain three vulnerabilities together.
CVE-2026-111357 stems from missing authentication checks in a critical function. When an attacker already possesses local credentials, the flaw permits privilege escalation to higher access levels.
CVE-2026-118527 arises from the generation of predictable numeric values or identifiers. Although authentication is required, the weakness allows an attacker to upload arbitrary file content to the server disk from a remote location.
The listing of CVE-2026-111357 was first announced on October 29, then briefly removed before being reinstated the following day, creating temporary confusion in vulnerability tracking records.

WordPress 7.1.4 Addresses RCE in Update Process and Multiple Stored XSS Vulnerabilities
The WordPress development team released version 7.1.4 on October 28, 2026, as a security update to resolve several vulnerabilities. The most severe issue allows remote code execution during the software upgrade process. Multiple stored cross-site scripting flaws were also fixed, including those triggered by specially crafted block markup and manipulated privacy data deletion requests. No CVE identifiers were disclosed in the advisory. Site administrators are strongly urged to apply the update immediately to prevent potential exploitation. The announcement was reported by Security NEXT on November 2, 2026.
Enodia: Open-Source Go Tool Automates Service Inventory, EOL Tracking and CVE Correlation
A DevOps engineer has released enodia, a single-binary Go CLI that discovers real versions of services across large heterogeneous environments and correlates them with end-of-life calendars and vulnerability databases. The tool was built after manual Ansible-based inventories and existing solutions such as endoflife.date, nvchecker, Renovate and Uptime Kuma proved insufficient for covering both infrastructure and application services while also providing actionable lifecycle, patch and branch status. Enodia uses product-specific probes for 123 technologies including PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, VMware vCenter, ESXi, pfSense and multiple Linux distributions, falling back to a generic URL-plus-regex probe when needed. Data collection is deliberately separated from evaluation so that inventory.jsonl files can be generated inside air-gapped networks and later analysed where CVE feeds are available. The project also contributed dozens of missing products and corrected EOL dates to the endoflife.date project and integrates both NVD and Russia’s FSTEC BDU vulnerability databases. Special handling was added for MySQL/MariaDB connection-error counters, version-string masquerading, and vendor-specific update nomenclature to avoid false reports.
Telegram Voice Call Flaw Allows Remote Code Execution on Android Devices
Security researchers disclosed a vulnerability in Telegram for Android that enables remote code execution on a victim's device simply by answering a voice call. The attacker requires only a standard account, and the flaw was present in versions 8.6.2 through 12.10.3 released between March 2022 and September 2026. Telegram addressed the issue in version 12.10.4, released at the end of September 2026. The root cause lies in improper handling of the MediaState message exchanged during calls, specifically when processing rotation values and missing video state fields, leading to out-of-bounds memory reads. The same underlying fix was deployed earlier to shared call libraries, iOS, and desktop clients, but reached Android later. Researchers confirmed the impact only on private calls running on ARM64 Android devices, with no evidence of exploitation in the wild or public CVE assignment as of October 29, 2026.
360 Security Cloud Opens PHP2Shell Vulnerability Self-Check Platform to Government and Enterprise Users
360 Security Cloud has launched a dedicated self-assessment platform that allows organizations to scan their PHP-based websites and systems for the PHP2Shell vulnerability. The service is now available to government agencies, large enterprises, and small-to-medium businesses. Users can apply by scanning a provided QR code to determine how many of their assets run PHP, identify affected versions, and check whether any systems have already been compromised. The platform addresses key questions about exposure: the number of PHP-powered sites and systems, the presence of vulnerable versions, and signs of prior intrusion. The announcement emphasizes that the tool helps organizations proactively assess risk without requiring external assistance. The original Chinese report was published on October 30, 2026, and the service is positioned as a practical response to ongoing PHP-related security concerns.
