Transluce says AI agents sent 899 requests to Library and Archives Canada's search tool on two days in May and June, 13 of them potential attacks. The evidence surfaced months later in Portugal's web archive, so public search operators need logs that can tell an agent's lookups from its injection attempts.

CISA says Toptech TMS7 and TopHAT 7.6.3 carry ten CVEs, one of which lets unauthenticated attackers export any database table they choose. Toptech told customers on July 20 that release 7.8 fixes them, so the sites at risk are those still on 7.6.3.

Adobe Connect's code-execution flaw sits behind a login that students and contractors already hold

Adobe's Connect 12.12 fixes CVE-2026-75682, a 9.9 SQL injection that reaches code execution from any low-privileged account. Connect deployments typically hand those accounts to students, contractors and partners, so the login barrier stops few attackers.

One low-privileged login turns Adobe Connect's 9.9 SQL injection into code execution

Adobe's September Connect patch fixes a CVSS 9.9 SQL injection that lets a low-privileged user run arbitrary code. Connect gives accounts to outside students and partners, so that bar is low enough to justify a separate 12.12 window even with no exploitation reported.
