Ubiquiti rolls out fixes for critical UniFi vulnerabilities across core apps

Ubiquiti released patches across UniFi Connect, Talk, Access, Protect, and UniFi OS to fix several critical flaws that could allow privilege escalation or remote command execution. The updates address multiple CVEs (e.g., CVE-2026-50746 for Connect; CVE-2026-50747 for Talk; CVE-2026-50748 and CVE-2026-54400 for Access; CVE-2026-55115 for Protect; CVE-2026-54402 and CVE-2026-55116 for OS) with fixed versions listed for each product. While there’s no confirmed exploitation in the wild, the U.S. CISA has flagged some UniFi OS flaws as weaponized, and historical activity like the MooBot botnet operation involved compromised Edge OS routers. Admins should upgrade to the patched releases to mitigate risk.

AI-Assisted Discovery Reveals Flaw in US Festival Ticketing Network

Security researcher Ian Carroll used Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.7 to uncover a vulnerability in Front Gate Tickets’ system that could grant a super-admin the ability to issue any festival tickets and access millions of customer and staff records. The flaw was patched within 24 hours, and there’s no evidence of exploitation, illustrating both AI’s potential to uncover web vulnerabilities and the risks of centralized festival-ticketing platforms.

Global Ghost CMS flaw exploited to steal admin keys and push ClickFix scam

A widespread campaign abused a critical Ghost CMS SQL injection (CVE-2026-26980) affecting versions 3.24.0–6.19.0 to read database data and steal admin API keys, then injects malicious JavaScript into articles. The loader fetches a second-stage payload that triggers a fake Cloudflare prompt and a ClickFix lure, leading victims to a Windows command prompt instruction and subsequent malware downloads. High-profile targets (Harvard, Oxford, Auburn, DuckDuckGo) were affected. Ghost released fix 6.19.1 on Feb 19, but many sites have not updated. Action items: upgrade to 6.19.1+, rotate all exposed keys, and review up to 30 days of admin API call logs to identify IoCs and remove injected scripts.
