Let’s set the record straight: @lcfr_hax was the first to discover php2shell and develop a working exploit. See his August 5 tweet: xitter.cf/lcfr_hax/status/208503… His work convinced the PHP Foundation to invest in fixing this entire bug class. He then worked around the clock to review, test, and retest the patches.

.@Volexity has published the third and final installment of its Mind the (Patch) Gap series. Parts 1 and 2 detailed Volexity’s discovery of multiple Chinese threat actors chaining zero-day exploits in Google Chrome and Microsoft Windows to deploy malware. This post takes a closer look at Volexity Volcano, one of the most advanced tools behind those findings. The blog post also showcases Volcano’s new MCP server for AI-assisted incident response, threat hunting, and digital forensics. Volexity analysts used it to triage a compromised system, automatically annotate related artifacts, create new IOCs for future detection, and schedule targeted collections across endpoints.

Always excellent work from @Volexity. The adversary using 108.165.147[.]64 interacted with some of our @GreyNoiseIO sensors including Ivanti Connect Secure VPN between 30 September (earliest) and 6 October.
.@Volexity has discovered in-the-wild exploitation of a #zeroday exploit chain targeting Ivanti Connect Secure VPN appliances (CVE-2026-104935). Beginning October 3, a previously unknown threat actor, UTA0576, chained three vulnerabilities to gain unauthenticated root-level code execution on a fully patched device. Notably, UTA0576 deployed no malware or web shell. Instead, the threat actor re-exploited the device for every command it ran and tampered with logs to cover its tracks, evading Ivanti’s Integrity Checker Tool. Using its #Volcano memory analysis platform, Volexity analyzed the compromised device’s memory to uncover the full exploit chain and the attacker’s post-exploitation activity, which focused on credential theft, Active Directory reconnaissance, and data exfiltration. Volexity reported these findings to Ivanti through coordinated disclosure. Read the full analysis, including detection guidance and IOCs, in our blog post here: volexity.com/blog/2026/10/13… #DFIR #threatintel #memoryforensics

Following @Volexity's September 9 blog post on two Chinese APT actors chaining 0-days in Chrome (CVE-2026-85046, CVE-2026-87491) & Windows (CVE-2026-85880), Volexity discovered another threat actor, UTA0565, had been using the same exploits on Sept 3-4, 2026, while they were still unpatched. UTA0565 used multiple fake websites, posing as media organizations and an NGO, to run a more customized version of the exploit framework than previously documented instances. The payload delivered was a new custom malware family, CLEANGULP, obfuscated using control flow flattening. Full details and IOCs can be found here: volexity.com/blog/2026/09/21… #DFIR #threatintel

Earlier this month, @Volexity detected multiple Chinese threat actors launching attacks against its customers using chained 0-day exploits in Google Chrome (CVE-2026-85046 & CVE-2026-87491) and Microsoft Windows (CVE-2026-85880). Volexity observed threat actors it tracks as UTA0560 and JungleBamboo using variations of the same exploits to deliver different malware implants. These implants ranged from a JScript backdoor (GRIMWEDGE) to a fake Google Gemini Chrome extension (LONGTALE).

@Volexity has published details on a recent incident response investigation involving the exploitation of multiple #0day vulnerabilities in SonicWall SMA 1000 series appliances. Volexity attributes this activity to a #threatactor it tracks as UTA0533, with the earliest signs of compromise dating back to June 22, 2026. SonicWall has released patches (versions 12.4.3-03453 and 12.5.0-02835) following their July 14 public disclosure. Organizations using affected SMA 1000 series devices should upgrade immediately.

Quick update. I am now with @Volexity :) super excited! Last few months were not the easiest but thankfully I have great friends in the field and was able to stay afloat and find the right place. I got lucky in this current job market. Back to reversing malware and drifting :)

APT meets GPT: @Volexity #threatintel is tracking #UTA0388's spear phishing campaigns against targets in North America, Europe & Asia, that appear to use LLMs to assist the #threatactor’s ops. Letting #AI run your espionage operations? What could go wrong? [1/2]

Nice work, lots of good info in this blog by @_xDeJesus!
Did a write-up on OAuth phishing (offense and defense). It's based on phishing campaign's reported by @Volexity earlier this year. - What are OAuth phishing links; what is the workflows behind them - How to emulate (examples) and use ROADtools for further compromise - Approaches to writing detections and key telemetry I do believe we are likely to see more of these campaigns over time - I hope this blog serves y'all well. Happy hunting folks! #azure #cloudsecurity #phishing elastic.co/security-labs/ent…
