The Daily CVE Update

On 11 October 2026, three critical vulnerabilities were published to the National Vulnerability Database, exposing fundamental authentication failures in HR and AI platforms used by UK small businesses. CVE-2026-108707 (CVSS 9.8) allows unauthenticated attackers to access all HR data in Wukong HRM by simply omitting the authentication token header, exposing payslips, salary history, and employee records without any credential check. The vendor was contacted and did not respond. Two further vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-108753, CVSS 9.4, and CVE-2026-108860, CVSS 9.1) affect AI chat platforms Agnaistic and BotSharp, both shipping with hard-coded admin credentials and publicly known JWT signing secrets that allow attackers to forge administrative tokens. For UK businesses, these failures carry direct GDPR obligations: salary and employment data are personal data, and authentication bypass vulnerabilities undermine the requirement for appropriate technical measures under UK GDPR. This episode provides specific audit steps for small business owners, including how to check the NVD for vendor disclosures, how to query IT providers about hard-coded credentials, and why vendor responsiveness to security research is a procurement signal worth evaluating before deployment.

On 22 September 2026, CISA added three vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue, confirming active exploitation in the wild. Two affect Check Point firewall management infrastructure (CVE-2026-93616 and CVE-2026-85102), allowing unauthenticated remote code execution. The third, CVE-2026-87902, is a critical path traversal flaw in WordPress core affecting approximately 43% of all websites globally. For UK small businesses, the primary risk lies not in direct exploitation but in unverified patching by managed service providers, web developers, and hosting agencies. This episode provides specific guidance on verifying patch status with third-party providers, checking WordPress version numbers, and establishing documented response processes for CISA KEV additions. The common thread across all three disclosures is infrastructure typically assumed to be someone else’s responsibility to maintain, creating a verification gap that attackers are actively exploiting. Businesses are advised to contact their MSPs immediately with specific CVE numbers, audit their technology supply chain for patching accountability, and review cyber insurance terms regarding timely vulnerability remediation.
