Week in review: Exploited Check Point VPN zero-day, Oracle PeopleSoft servers under attack

Recent cybersecurity reports highlight a surge in active exploits targeting enterprise software, including critical vulnerabilities in Check Point VPN, Oracle PeopleSoft, and the LiteLLM open-source AI gateway.

Key Points

  • Attackers are actively exploiting a zero-day authentication bypass vulnerability (CVE-2026-50751) in Check Point Remote Access VPNs.
  • A critical zero-day flaw (CVE-2026-35273) in Oracle PeopleSoft PeopleTools is currently being leveraged by threat actors in the wild.
  • CISA confirmed active exploitation of a command injection vulnerability (CVE-2026-42271) within the LiteLLM open-source AI gateway.
  • Microsoft released its largest-ever Patch Tuesday, addressing nearly 200 vulnerabilities, while researchers identified a new "RoguePlanet" zero-day affecting Windows Defender.
  • Meta reported that hackers hijacked over 20,000 Instagram accounts by exploiting a flaw in the company's AI-assisted account recovery system.

Why it Matters

The rapid weaponization of zero-day vulnerabilities across both legacy enterprise software and modern AI infrastructure significantly shortens the window for organizations to implement defensive patches. This trend forces security teams to move beyond traditional update cycles toward more aggressive, real-time vulnerability management to prevent widespread data breaches.
