Ivanti Issues Emergency Patches for Two Critical, Actively Exploited RCE Vulnerabilities in Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM)

Ivanti has released urgent security patches for two critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerabilities, CVE-2026-1281 and CVE-2026-1340, affecting its Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM) solution, formerly MobileIron Core. Both flaws are rated 9.8 out of 10 on the CVSS scale and are confirmed to be actively exploited in the wild as zero-days. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code on an affected appliance, granting them access to sensitive mobile device management data. Given the active exploitation, administrators are urged to apply the temporary RPM script patches immediately while awaiting a permanent fix in the upcoming version 12.8.0.0.

Novel Phishing Attack Abuses Vercel and Telegram to Deliver RATs

MEDIUM

Phishing Campaign Abuses Trusted Vercel Domains and Telegram for Evasive RAT Delivery

A novel phishing campaign, observed between November 2025 and January 2026, is abusing trusted `*.vercel.app` domains to bypass email security filters and deliver malware. The attack, detailed by Cloudflare, uses financial lures like fake invoices to trick victims into clicking. A unique feature is its Telegram-gated payload delivery, which requires interaction with a Telegram bot to receive the final payload. This technique effectively filters out automated sandboxes and security researchers, ensuring the malware is only delivered to genuine targets. The campaign's ultimate goal is to install GoTo Resolve, a legitimate remote access tool, which is then abused by attackers for persistent access and control.

New 'Sicarii Ransomware' RaaS Emerges, Targeting U.S. Manufacturing

HIGH

New 'Sicarii Ransomware' Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) Operation Identified

A new ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) operation named 'Sicarii Ransomware' has been discovered by researchers at CYFIRMA. Active since late 2025, the group is targeting the manufacturing sector in the United States. The malware encrypts victim files using AES-GCM and appends a '.sicarii' extension to them. In addition to encryption, the malware is capable of collecting system information and credentials from infected hosts, suggesting a double-extortion tactic may be part of their playbook. Tactical recommendations to defend against this threat include enhanced monitoring, maintaining offline backups, and strengthening network segmentation.

Widespread Phishing Campaign Impersonates Employers with Fake Job Offers to Steal Credentials

A multi-lingual phishing campaign is targeting job seekers across the United States, United Kingdom, France, Italy, and Spain. According to research from Bitdefender, attackers are impersonating well-known employers and staffing companies, sending emails with fake job offers that promise easy work and fast interviews.

Apple Boosts Privacy in iOS 26.3 with 'Limit Precise Location' Feature

Apple Enhances Location Privacy in iOS 26.3 Update with 'Limit Precise Location' Setting

Apple has introduced a new privacy feature called 'limit precise location' in its iOS 26.3 update. This setting is designed to give users more control over their data by reducing the precision of location information shared with cellular networks. While carriers still receive location data for operational purposes, the feature prevents them from obtaining a user's exact, fine-grained location, making it more difficult to track their precise movements. This update is part of a broader industry trend toward providing users with more granular privacy controls and addressing concerns about location tracking by mobile carriers.
