CISA Orders Emergency Drupal Patch | Microsoft Server Bug | Google Fights Canada Surveillance Bill

Author: Jim Love May 27, 2026 Duration: 10:32

CISA has ordered U.S. federal civilian agencies to urgently patch an actively exploited critical Drupal SQL injection vulnerability (CVE-2026-9082) affecting PostgreSQL-backed Drupal deployments, after Imperva reported more than 15,000 attack attempts across 65 countries. Microsoft has confirmed a strange Windows Server 2016 update issue where KB5087537 can break domain controller discovery when server hostnames are exactly 15 characters long, raising more questions about patch reliability as update complexity grows.

Google has joined a coalition opposing Canada's proposed lawful access legislation, Bill C-22, warning that secret ministerial orders, possible encryption risks, and mandatory metadata retention could weaken security rather than improve it. Critics point to the Salt Typhoon telecom espionage campaign as evidence that lawful intercept systems themselves can become prime targets.

Also in this episode: Check Point says Iran-linked threat group Nimbus Manticore has deployed new malware tools including MiniFast and MiniJunk V2, with researchers noting signs that MiniFast may have been developed with AI-assisted coding techniques. The campaign used SEO poisoning and fake Oracle SQL Developer downloads to lure victims.
