InfraTrust Report Warns of Exploited Flaws in Critical Network Infrastructure

· Original article ↗

Summary

Eclypsium’s October InfraTrust Pulse tracked 2,813 vulnerabilities across 133 advisories. It highlights actively exploited network-appliance flaws and warns that PHP2Shell vulnerabilities may affect embedded management interfaces awaiting vendor firmware updates.

Key points

  • InfraTrust tracked 133 new advisories across 18 vendors from September 18 to October 14, covering 2,813 vulnerabilities; 16 advisories included flaws listed in CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
  • The report says 58 vulnerabilities could be exploited remotely without authentication; 37 advisories were rated critical and five vulnerabilities had a maximum CVSS score of 10.0.
  • The report highlights active exploitation affecting network infrastructure products from Citrix, Ivanti, Check Point, Cisco, Arista, Fortinet, F5, and Palo Alto Networks.
  • PHP2Shell flaws CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619 allow unauthenticated remote code execution. Appliances embedding PHP in management interfaces may require vendor firmware updates to receive fixes.
  • Palo Alto Networks, F5, NetScaler, Check Point, and QNAP said some products were affected while fixes were still in development.
  • InfraTrust recommends keeping PHP-backed management interfaces off the Internet while awaiting patches and prioritizing updates for exposed remote-access gateways and other listed products.
  • The report says Linux kernel privilege-escalation flaw Copy Fail (CVE-2026-31431) appeared in 29 advisories across eight vendors, up from 19 advisories across six vendors the previous month.
