SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer was found to be affected by a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability, which when exploited, can lead to unintended script execution.
A vulnerability in which an attacker can provide a crafted external URL that may redirect a user to an unintended website.
Hello all! Since the post last week seemed to be helpful to some folks, I figured I'd make another post this week.
The big, bad, scary one is the Netlogon RCE because it targets domain controllers and is now confirmed exploited. After that, I’d be looking at Palo Alto GlobalProtect, SolarWinds Serv-U, Cisco SD-WAN Manager, and any Linux container hosts that might still be exposed to the old cgroups v1 escape.
Here's the order I’d work them:
1. CVE-2026-41089: Microsoft Windows Netlogon
Stack-based buffer overflow in Netlogon. An unauthenticated attacker can hit a domain controller over the network and get code execution.
Affected: Windows Server 2012 R2 through 2025.
Why it matters: CVSS 9.8. Active exploitation has been confirmed by Belgium’s CCB.
Action: If your DCs got May’s cumulative update, you should be covered. If you deferred May updates on domain controllers, I’d move this to the top of the queue. Find your rollup patches here for your Server version.
2. CVE-2026-0257: Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS GlobalProtect
Authentication bypass in the GlobalProtect portal and gateway. The short version is that forged cookies can give an attacker an unauthorized VPN session.
Affected: PAN-OS firewalls with a GlobalProtect portal or gateway where authentication override cookies are enabled.
Why it matters: CVSS 9.1. Exploited in the wild and on CISA KEV.
Action: Patch to a fixed PAN-OS release. If you can’t patch immediately, disable authentication override or use a dedicated certificate only for that feature.
3. CVE-2026-28318: SolarWinds Serv-U
Unauthenticated denial of service. A crafted POST request with a Content-Encoding: deflate header can crash the Serv-U service.
Affected: Serv-U file transfer versions before 15.5.4, and 15.5.4 without Hotfix 1.
Why it matters: CVSS 7.5. Exploited in the wild. Added to CISA KEV on June 5 with a federal deadline of June 19.
Action: Update to Serv-U 15.5.4 Hotfix 1. If you need an interim move, restrict access to known IPs and block POST requests carrying a Content-Encoding header.
4. CVE-2026-20245: Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager
Command injection in Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager. A crafted file upload can run arbitrary commands as root.
Affected: Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager, formerly vManage.
Why it matters: CVSS 7.8. Exploited as a zero-day. No patch available yet.
Action: This one does require netadmin privileges, so it is not the same kind of emergency as an unauthenticated internet-facing RCE. But with no fix available, I’d still lock down who can reach SD-WAN Manager, audit netadmin accounts, make sure MFA is solid, and watch Cisco’s advisory for the patch. You can see Cisco's additional recommendations here.
5. CVE-2022-0492: Linux kernel cgroups v1 container escape
Old bug, but newly relevant again because CISA added it to KEV last week. The cgroups v1 releaseagent issue can let a low-privileged local user escape a container and escalate to root.
Affected: Linux hosts running containers on unpatched kernels or with overly permissive container configs.
Why it matters: CVSS 7.8. Added to CISA KEV on June 2 based on evidence of active exploitation.
Action: Check your container hosts. Make sure kernels are patched, containers are not running with CAPSYSADMIN, and AppArmor/SELinux/Seccomp profiles are actually enforced.
Three of these are on CISA KEV: Palo Alto, Serv-U, and the Linux cgroups bug.
If I only had time to clear one, I’d start with Netlogon. Unauthenticated RCE against domain controllers is not something I’d want sitting around, especially now that exploitation has been confirmed.
Serv-U would be next if it is internet-facing, then Palo Alto GlobalProtect if authentication override is enabled.
Also worth noting: Check Point Remote Access VPN CVE-2026-50751 and LiteLLM CVE-2026-42271 both landed on KEV after this window, so they’ll probably be in next week’s batch.
