PatchDay Alert DAILY BRIEF · JUNE 2, 2026

TODAY'S CALL

Nothing's on fire, but two of today's five deserve your attention before lunch. A SharePoint deserialization bug (CVE-2026-47294, CVSS 8.0) lets any authenticated user run code on your server, and an OpenShift Route validation failure (CVE-2026-1784, CVSS 8.8) lets attackers inject arbitrary HAProxy config into your ingress router. Neither is exploited in the wild yet, so you've got a window to patch cleanly.

DO FIRST

Apply the latest SharePoint security update from Microsoft's patch Tuesday release via Windows Update or manual CU installation  (CVE-2026-47294)
Remove or deactivate the WP AutoSuggest plugin immediately  (CVE-2018-25434)
Upgrade FlexRIC beyond v2.0.0 when a fix is available  (CVE-2026-37227)
Upgrade FlexRIC when a patched version ships  (CVE-2026-37222)
Apply the latest OpenShift Container Platform update from Red Hat  (CVE-2026-1784)

TOP THREAT TODAY

CVE-2026-47294

HIGH

8.0

CVSS

An authenticated attacker can exploit a deserialization bug in SharePoint to run arbitrary code over the network. The attacker needs valid credentials, but once authenticated, no special privileges or user interaction are required. If you host on-prem SharePoint, this is a serious remote code execution risk from any authorized user.

Who's affected: SharePoint on-prem admins running any currently supported version of Microsoft Office SharePoint

 

Patch within 24 hours if internet-facing or otherwise exposed. Apply the latest SharePoint security update from Microsoft's patch Tuesday release via Windows Update or manual CU installation.

Exposure: Network-reachable systems  ·  Op impact: Endpoint reboot

CVE-2018-25434 CVSS 8.2 HIGH

WP AutoSuggest 0.24 has an unauthenticated SQL injection bug in its autosuggest.php file. An attacker can send a crafted GET request with a malicious wpas_keys parameter and pull data straight out of your WordPress database, including posts, user tables, and anything else stored there. No login required.

Affects: WordPress site owners or developers running the WP AutoSuggest plugin version 0.24

 

Patch immediately for internet-facing systems. Remove or deactivate the WP AutoSuggest plugin immediately. This plugin appears abandoned. Switch to a maintained search suggestion plugin and audit your database for signs of exfiltration.

Exposure: Internet-facing systems

ONE UPDATE · 24 CVEs 1 CRITICAL

NVD Ref 1 Ref 2

CVE-2026-37227 CVSS 7.5 HIGH

FlexRIC v2.0.0's near-RT RIC process crashes when it receives certain valid but unimplemented E2AP message types. The message passes the whitelist check, but the handler calls assert(0) unconditionally, killing the process with SIGABRT. A remote unauthenticated attacker can take down the RIC by sending a single crafted E2AP PDU to port 36421.

Affects: Telecom engineers and researchers running FlexRIC v2.0.0 near-RT RIC in lab or production O-RAN environments

 

Patch this week. Upgrade FlexRIC beyond v2.0.0 when a fix is available. In the meantime, restrict network access to port 36421 so only trusted E2 nodes can reach the RIC.

Exposure: Internet-facing systems

ONE UPDATE · 12 CVEs

NVD Ref 1 Ref 2

CVE-2026-37222 CVSS 7.5 HIGH

FlexRIC v2.0.0 crashes when it receives an E2AP message with more Information Elements than it expects. The code uses hardcoded assertions on exact IE counts instead of checking valid ranges, so a legitimate-looking PDU with extra optional fields triggers SIGABRT. This affects both the near-RT RIC (port 36421) and iApp (port 36422), and requires no authentication.

Affects: Telecom engineers and researchers running FlexRIC v2.0.0 near-RT RIC or iApp components in O-RAN deployments

 

Patch this week. Upgrade FlexRIC when a patched version ships. Until then, restrict access to ports 36421 and 36422 to trusted E2 nodes and xApps only.

Exposure: Internet-facing systems

NVD Ref 1 Ref 2

CVE-2026-1784 CVSS 8.8 HIGH

OpenShift's Route resource doesn't properly validate the spec.path field, letting an attacker inject arbitrary HAProxy configuration. If someone can create or modify Route objects in your cluster, they can tamper with the router's behavior, potentially intercepting or redirecting traffic for other routes. This is a high-impact bug because HAProxy config injection can affect all traffic flowing through the ingress router.

Affects: OpenShift cluster admins running affected versions of OpenShift Container Platform with HAProxy-based ingress routers

 

Patch within 24 hours if internet-facing or otherwise exposed. Apply the latest OpenShift Container Platform update from Red Hat. Review existing Route objects for suspicious spec.path values and restrict who can create or edit Route resources using RBAC.

Exposure: Estate exposure

PAN-OS GlobalProtect auth bypass (CVE-2026-0257) now exploited in the wild

Palo Alto bumped CVE-2026-0257 from medium to high after attackers started exploiting it across multiple customer environments. The bug lets an unauthenticated attacker bypass GlobalProtect authentication cookies and spin up unauthorized VPN sessions into your network. If you run GlobalProtect, patch PAN-OS now.

Windows Netlogon RCE (CVE-2026-41089) actively exploited, hits domain controllers

Belgium's CCB confirmed attackers are exploiting CVE-2026-41089, a stack-based buffer overflow in Windows Netlogon, to run code as SYSTEM on domain controllers with no authentication required. This is about as bad as it sounds. Patch every DC you own tonight.

Microsoft Defender privilege escalation and DoS bugs exploited in the wild

Three Defender bugs are exploited in the wild: CVE-2026-41091 (CVSS 7.8, local privilege escalation to SYSTEM), CVE-2026-45498 (CVSS 4.0, Defender DoS), and CVE-2026-33825 (BlueHammer). Huntress confirmed all three in targeted intrusions where attackers staged files in user directories and escalated manually. CISA added them to KEV with a June 3 deadline, so don't wait.
