CISA Adds Progress Kemp LoadMaster Command Injection Flaw CVE-2026-8037 to KEV Catalog After Confirmed Exploitation
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has added a known command injection vulnerability in Progress Software's Kemp LoadMaster application delivery product to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-8037, allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands on affected devices because input values are not properly sanitized. CISA issued the addition on August 7, 2026, and directed federal agencies to apply mitigations by August 10, 2026. The same product was previously targeted through another flaw, CVE-2024-1212, which was also added to the KEV list after exploitation. Security researchers note that the vulnerability poses a broad risk because it requires no authentication and can be leveraged to compromise load balancers and related infrastructure. Organizations using Progress Kemp LoadMaster are urged to review vendor advisories and implement available patches without delay.
RCE Vulnerability in AI Code Editors Cursor, VS Code and Google Antigravity Threatens 50 Million Developers
Researchers at AISLE discovered a critical remote code execution vulnerability affecting the AI-powered code editors Cursor, Microsoft Visual Studio Code and Google Antigravity. The flaw allowed attackers to achieve RCE simply by tricking a developer into opening a specially crafted link embedded in a Git commit message. Successful exploitation granted full access to API keys, local files, and the ability to install persistent malware without any visible indicators. The issue stemmed from shared architectural components inherited from the Visual Studio Code codebase, which Cursor and Google Antigravity both adopted. All three vendors have released patches, yet the incident highlights systemic supply-chain risks in the rapidly growing AI-IDE ecosystem. Approximately 50 million developers were potentially exposed before fixes were deployed.
