Veeam CVE-2026-29849 Exploited by Ransomware
Critical Veeam Backup flaw lets attackers delete backup repos without credentials. Ransomware gangs exploiting CVE-2026-29849 to eliminate recovery options.
Stay ahead of emerging threats with expert analysis from 137 published security articles, vulnerability reports, and cybersecurity insights — updated daily with the latest CVEs, threat actor campaigns, and security advisories. As of Tuesday, June 9, 2026, the most urgent items for production stacks: the "Miasma" worm has detonated across 73 Microsoft-owned GitHub repositories in an npm supply-chain cascade — a software supply-chain attack means malicious code is planted in a trusted package your developers already install, so it spreads automatically into everything that depends on it — making any team that pulls JavaScript packages from npm a potential downstream victim; audit your dependencies and pin trusted versions now. The Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager zero-day CVE-2026-20245 remains under active exploitation with no patch available yet — restrict management-interface access and watch Cisco's advisory for the fix. Cisco Unified Communications Manager flaw CVE-2026-20230 hands attackers root through a server-side request forgery (SSRF) bug — a server tricked into making attacker-controlled requests — and a working proof-of-concept exploit is already public, so patch now. The Mirasvit Cache Warmer bug CVE-2026-45247 is being used for active remote code execution (RCE — running attacker code on your server) against Magento e-commerce stores. Still carrying forward: the HTTP/2 "Bomb" CVE-2026-49975 lets a single home connection knock NGINX, Apache, IIS, and Cloudflare web servers offline; Palo Alto GlobalProtect authentication-bypass CVE-2026-0257 remains on the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog under active exploitation; and the WP Maps Pro WordPress flaw CVE-2026-8732 is still spawning rogue administrator accounts across roughly 15,000 sites. If your business pulls npm packages, or runs Cisco SD-WAN or Unified CM, Magento, a public web server, Palo Alto GlobalProtect, or WordPress with WP Maps Pro, these advisories require action now — start with the article-level remediation steps below.
