Microsoft patches RoguePlanet zero-day in Defender with engine update

Microsoft released a fix for the RoguePlanet Defender zero-day (CVE-2026-50656) via the Malware Protection Engine update 1.1.26060.3008, following disclosure by Nightmare Eclipse. The race-condition flaw could spawn a SYSTEM-level command prompt on fully patched Windows 10/11, with a PoC claiming success regardless of real-time protection. Microsoft began patching on June 16 and has previously warned of legal action against researchers; this resolution follows a pattern of addressing multiple Windows zero-days disclosed by Nightmare Eclipse, including GreenPlasma, MiniPlasma, and YellowKey.

RoguePlanet Privilege Escalation in Defender Finally Patched, No Action Needed

The fix arrives in Defender engine version 1.1.26060.3008 with defense-in-depth hardening. Disclosed by Chaotic Eclipse, RoguePlanet can be exploited on Windows systems with the June 2026 Patch Tuesday and works regardless of real-time protection. Microsoft says no customer action is required beyond automatic updates.

GreatXML Bypass Unlocks BitLocker via WinRE XML Files

Security researcher Chaotic Eclipse unveiled GreatXML, a new Windows BitLocker bypass that places crafted unattend.xml and Recovery/WindowsRE/ReAgent.xml on the recovery partition and, after rebooting into WinRE, spawns a shell with unrestricted access to the BitLocker volume. It builds on a recent Defender-related exploit and is the second BitLocker bypass from the researcher, with Microsoft having patched a prior bypass (YellowKey CVE-2026-45585) this Patch Tuesday.

Microsoft patches Defender zero-days actively exploited in the wild

Microsoft released patches for two Defender zero-days—CVE-2026-41091 (privilege escalation in Malware Protection Engine) and CVE-2026-45498 (DoS in Antimalware Platform)—to stop active exploits. The updates install automatically by default, but admins should verify the Malware Protection Engine and Antimalware Platform versions are current. CISA added these flaws to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog and ordered federal agencies to patch by June 3 under BOD 22-01. The piece also notes mitigations for a Windows BitLocker flaw nicknamed YellowKey.

GWM Tank Surprises in Aussie Off-Road Test, Outpacing Lexus GX and Land Cruiser

In an Australian CarExpert off-road comparison of three-row SUVs, the Land Rover Defender claimed the top spot, with the Lexus LX 600 and Prado/Land Cruiser close behind. The Lexus GX and the J300 Land Cruiser struggled on the roller section, while the Chinese GWM Tank breezed through that test and, across the rest of the evaluation, matched or beat the Toyotas in overall scoring—outscoring both GX and the J300—though the host rated the Tank at the bottom due to traction-control quirks, leaving some questions about long-term durability.

Divers discover wreckage of early 1900s submarine in Long Island Sound.

Divers in Connecticut have discovered the wreckage of an experimental submarine, the Defender, that was built in 1907 and later scuttled in Long Island Sound. The 92-foot-long boat was found more than 150 feet beneath the water's surface, off the coast of Old Saybrook. The Defender was originally named the Lake and built by millionaire Simon Lake and his Bridgeport-based Lake Torpedo Boat Company in hopes of winning a U.S. Navy contract. The company lost that competition and Lake then tried refitting the boat for minesweeping, salvage and rescue work, renaming it the Defender.

Microsoft Defender misidentifies legitimate URLs as malware

Microsoft Defender is causing headaches for IT admins by flagging legitimate URLs, such as Zoom and Google, as potentially dangerous, triggering a flood of alerts. The Defender portal is also experiencing issues, making it difficult to investigate the alerts. Microsoft is aware of the problem and investigating the issue, which is affecting hundreds of accounts and tenants worldwide. The root cause is being isolated by poring over service monitoring. The false alerts were caused by recent additions to the SafeLinks feature, which have since been reverted to fix the issue.
