    Active Exploitation

    This week in GreyNoise data, rented crawlers probed for credentials and configuration secrets across widely deployed web software. A matched pair of crawlers sharing one client fingerprint probed NGINX UI (CVE-2026-27944) and LiteSpeed Cache (CVE-2024-44000), two CVSS 9.8 flaws that leak credentials, private keys, or session material, from two different hosting providers. Alongside them, an RDP brute force cohort spread across three networks under one transport fingerprint. WordPress core SQL injection CVE-2026-60137 also entered the CISA KEV catalog this week. The rented hosts rotate; the fingerprints persist. Customers get the full weekly brief. Our public At The Edge Clear one-pager 👉https://www.greynoise.io/resources/at-the-edge-clear-072026

    Post summary

    GreyNoise reports that multiple high‑severity CVEs are being actively exploited, evidenced by probing and inclusion in CISA’s KEV catalog, with no PoC or patch information provided.
