Kentucky Cyber Threat Dashboard
Monitor current cybersecurity threats affecting Kentucky's infrastructure. Updated daily with data from CISA, the National Vulnerability Database, and AI-powered threat analysis.
Cyber News
A significant cyberattack in France this week targeted supermarket refrigeration systems, manipulating them to cause fires and food spoilage. This incident highlights a growing trend of attacks intended to create physical disruption by targeting operational technology (OT) and industrial control systems (ICS). Kentucky utilities and infrastructure operators should review the security of any internet-connected control systems, as this attack demonstrates that even seemingly benign systems can be leveraged to cause real-world damage. Ensure that OT networks are properly segmented from IT networks and that remote access is strictly controlled.
Known Exploited Vulnerabilities
CISA added several actively exploited vulnerabilities to its catalog this week, notably affecting Ivanti Connect Secure (CVE-2026-104935) and Microsoft Windows (CVE-2026-96951). The Ivanti flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to bypass authentication and execute commands, posing a severe risk to any organization using this common remote access solution. The Windows vulnerability is a command injection flaw that can also be exploited over the network. Given that these products are widespread in government environments, immediate patching is critical to prevent system compromise.
New Vulnerabilities
Within the last 24 hours, multiple critical vulnerabilities were published affecting software commonly used in government and enterprise environments. Several critical flaws in the Wazuh security platform (e.g., CVE-2026-74040, CVE-2026-74041) could allow for remote code execution on security managers and agents. Additionally, numerous critical vulnerabilities were disclosed for Adobe Commerce, Adobe Experience Manager, and a wide range of popular WordPress plugins, many allowing for remote code execution or full account takeover. IT staff should immediately identify any systems running this software and apply vendor patches as they become available.

Relevant CVEs for Kentucky Infrastructure
Wazuh Cluster Worker Remote Code Execution
This vulnerability affects the Wazuh security monitoring platform, which may be used to protect your networks. An attacker could exploit this flaw to take complete control of your central security manager and all connected agents. This would render your security monitoring useless and give the attacker a foothold to access other critical systems. Action: Immediately update your Wazuh manager and agents to version 4.14.8 or later to patch this vulnerability.
Wazuh Remote Command Injection
This vulnerability affects the Wazuh security monitoring platform. It allows an authenticated user to bypass security checks and run commands with the highest privileges on the central manager. An attacker could use this to take over the security system and potentially pivot to other systems on the network. Action: Immediately update your Wazuh manager to version 4.14.8 or later to fix this issue.
Adobe Commerce Stored Cross-Site Scripting
This affects Adobe Commerce, a platform potentially used for online bill payment or other public services. An attacker could inject malicious code into your website. When a citizen or employee visits the compromised page, the attacker could steal their login credentials, personal information, or take over their account. Action: Immediately apply the security patches released by Adobe for your version of Adobe Commerce.
Adobe Commerce Arbitrary Code Execution
This affects Adobe Commerce, a platform potentially used for online bill payment or other public services. This severe vulnerability could allow an attacker to run any code they want on your server, leading to a complete system takeover, theft of citizen payment and personal data, and disruption of services. Action: This is a critical risk. Immediately apply the security patches released by Adobe for your version of Adobe Commerce.

Action: Immediately apply the security patches released by Adobe for your version of Adobe Commerce.
Adobe Commerce Arbitrary Code Execution
This affects Adobe Commerce, a platform potentially used for online bill payment or other public services. This flaw could allow a privileged attacker to run their own code on your server, leading to a complete system takeover, theft of citizen payment and personal data, and disruption of services. Action: This is a critical risk. Immediately apply the security patches released by Adobe for your version of Adobe Commerce.
Adobe Commerce Arbitrary Code Execution
This affects Adobe Commerce, a platform potentially used for online bill payment or other public services. This vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on your server, leading to a complete system takeover, theft of citizen payment and personal data, and disruption of services. Action: This is a critical risk. Immediately apply the security patches released by Adobe for your version of Adobe Commerce.
Adobe Experience Manager Stored Cross-Site Scripting
This affects Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), a system used to manage official county or utility websites. An attacker could inject malicious code into your website. When a citizen or employee visits the compromised page, the attacker could steal login information or data submitted through forms, deface the website, or spread misinformation. Action: Immediately apply the security patches released by Adobe for your version of AEM.
