One prompt to one exposed AgentCore agent reached every agent in the region, Zenity Labs found

Zenity Labs showed that one prompt to one exposed Bedrock AgentCore agent could take over every AgentCore agent in the same AWS account and region. The reach came from a broad default execution role, and narrowing it is the step teams control.

Next.js next/og passed unescaped input into the SVG that libvips, librsvg and libxml2 parse

Satori, the JSX-to-SVG step behind Next.js next/og, put external input into SVG unescaped, per a dev.to explainer of CVE-2026-94545. The explainer says code execution would need the injected SVG to corrupt memory in a native parser, while SSRF needs only the injection.

Honeypots log exploitation attempts against SonicWall SMA1000 flaw three days after patch

Attackers began targeting SonicWall's maximum-severity SMA1000 flaw CVE-2026-102255 within three days of its patch, Previdian's honeypots show. SonicWall's advisory had not called it exploited by Friday, so owners waiting on that label are patching behind the attackers.

SonicWall patches a CVSS 10 pre-login SSRF flaw in its SMA1000 appliances

SonicWall patched four SMA1000 flaws, led by CVE-2026-102255, a CVSS 10 request-forgery bug that an attacker can use without logging in. The company says none of the four is being exploited, so owners who update now are ahead of any known attack.

Google, JPMorgan, Weaviate and two governments shipped the same SSRF flaw in their MCP servers

Syed Anas Mohiuddin found the same SSRF flaw in MCP servers from five unrelated organisations, including Google, JPMorgan and two governments. Each server turned an address supplied through an agent into an outbound request without checking where it resolved, and any team running its own tool servers can check for the same gap.

Chaining a 10.0 portal SSRF to a 7.8 console injection gets OS execution on SonicWall's SMA1000

SonicWall confirmed both SMA1000 flaws were exploited before disclosure, and CISA gave federal agencies three days to remediate. The lower-scored console bug is the step that reaches the operating system.

The image proxy fetches 169.254.169.254 as readily as it fetches a cat photo

Webhooks, image proxies, link unfurlers and PDF renderers all pass a user's string to an HTTP client that sits inside your private network, where the cloud metadata endpoint answers an unauthenticated GET and hands back IAM credentials.

An MV3 extension pushes scoped cookies into a headless Lightpanda over a loopback CDP relay

The human still taps the security key, and what crosses to the agent is one origin's cookies, normalized and pushed over 127.0.0.1. The identity provider sits on the relay's blocklist, which is the part worth copying.
