Analyst Guidance

Two CVEs with active exploitation corroborated across multiple sources demand immediate attention this week. CVE-2026-35273 (Oracle PeopleSoft) is being weaponized by ShinyHunters using WAF-bypass techniques to achieve unauthenticated remote code execution across multiple sectors. Additionally, a high-severity CSRF flaw in Elementor WordPress plugin (CVSS 8.8) allows unauthenticated account takeover, though it lacks a CVE identifier.
