Citrix NetScaler Zero-Days Exploited, Kiteworks Shutdown Warning, ShinyHunters WAF Bypass, FBI Medical Files Leak, OpenAI Medicare "Hack" Reframed

Citrix confirms two actively exploited NetScaler zero-days (CVE-2026-88771 and CVE-2026-88772) with 9.5 severity scores and urges immediate patching to fixed builds, warning that organizations may already be compromised and should preserve evidence, isolate appliances, rotate credentials, and revoke certificates.

Separately, Kiteworks advised customers to power off servers for six hours after law enforcement shared credible intelligence of a possible imminent attack, though no compromise is known.

Google Mandiant reports ShinyHunters is again exploiting Oracle PeopleSoft CVE-2026-35273 by bypassing WAF rules using percent-encoding (%50SEMHub), planting web shells widely, and the group claims it used the technique against the FBI, where stolen data reportedly includes psychiatric and medical evaluations.

Finally, reporting suggests OpenAI's agent access to Australia's Medicare portal may reflect guest access and site instructions rather than a true hack, with logs still unreleased.
