io_uring Reads Your Files and Opens Sockets Without Calling the Syscalls Your auditd Rules Watch

A process on a Linux host where io_uring is enabled can read files, connect out, and write to disk without issuing any of the file and network syscalls your auditd rules and EDR hooks watch. Here is the creation-time syscall that still fires, what to alert on, and why the real fix is a sysctl (already the default on RHEL 9).

kvm_mmu_get_child_sp(), the Shadow-Page Reuse Check That Skipped role.word

CVE-2026-53359 is a 16-year-old use-after-free in KVM’s shadow MMU that lets a guest-root attacker on a vulnerable nested-virt KVM/x86 host crash the box or, with a separate withheld exploit, run as root on the hypervisor. The clearest detection is a kernel oops in journald; the real control is patching plus turning off nested virt you never used.

Passkey Enrollment: The Most Direct Signal Is the Registration Event

O-UNC-066 appears built to walk a victim through a fake passkey enrollment while the operator registers an attacker-controlled passkey in the real Entra tenant. It survives the password reset, and the most direct durable evidence is the authentication-method registration audit trail — written from a session your controls let through because the registration action was protected only by relayable MFA.

ClickFix Payloads Now Ship From an On-Demand API

A researcher pulled roughly 3,000 live ClickFix payloads and found the delivery running like a metered API — request 100, get 100 different builds. That breaks detection built on the pasted command, the encoded blob, or a string IOC. Here’s the content-blind detection that survives, and why the registry rule was never the durable part.

msDS-SupersededManagedAccountLink, the Target-Side Write That Forges a dMSA Migration

Microsoft’s August 2025 fix for BadSuccessor (CVE-2025-53779) works — but an attacker who controls a dMSA and can write a target’s migration-link attributes can forge the mutual pairing the KDC now demands and pull that account’s Kerberos key material out of the dMSA key package. The detection has to move from watching one attribute to watching the pairing on the target object.

valueRenderOption=FORMULA, the Read Mode Legitimate Sheets Clients Rarely Use

UNC2814’s GRIDTIDE backdoor runs command-and-control through an attacker-controlled Google Sheet — reached via the attacker’s own service account and Cloud project, not the victim’s Workspace tenant — so the victim’s Workspace audit logs never see it. The detection has to come from egress and the host, and the real fix is default-deny outbound from your server tiers.

Smart Install on TCP 4786: Zero-Touch Provisioning Nobody Turned Off

FSB Center 16’s Static Tundra crew is still working a 2018 Cisco Smart Install bug to steal startup-configs from end-of-life gear, then modifying TACACS+ so the box stops narrating the theft. The detection has to live off the device.

UAT-7810 Conscripts Unpatched Ruckus APs Into Relay Nodes for Other APTs

A China-nexus actor is compromising unpatched Ruckus edge gear (and, via associated infrastructure, ASUS AiCloud) to build relay meshes for other APTs — and the published network IOCs can rot in as little as a month. The durable defense is edge-device hygiene and relay-behavior detection over blocklists.

subjectFromWebIdentityToken, the CloudTrail Field That Names the Calling Repo

GitHub-to-AWS keyless auth moved secrets out of your CI, but the sub-claim wildcard most trust policies ship with trusts far more than the author intended. Here is what the detection actually looks like in CloudTrail, and why your allowlist breaks in July 2026.

CVE-2026-3055: Appliance Logs Are Not Evidence of Non-Exploitation

The NetScaler memory-overread class has a third sequel. CVE-2026-3055 leaks session tokens through an endpoint the appliance barely logs — so its own logs won’t prove you’re clean, and the detection has to move upstream to the response size and downstream to the reused token, while patching does nothing to the sessions already bled.
