    "Icepick" leak exposes records on 41,000 DHS employees, including undercover ICE agents

    Distributed Denial of Secrets published "Icepick" on Oct 28 2026, an archive covering more than 41,000 employees and contractors of the US Department of Homeland Security and seven component agencies, including ICE and CBP. The records, last updated Aug 19 2026, include work email addresses, cellphone numbers, office addresses, supervisors and more than 55,000 permission-group names, some referencing undercover operations, wiretap programs and tools such as Palantir and PenLink. DDoSecrets says the data came from DHS's Okta login system via a group calling itself the Department of Peace; Okta says it has no evidence its own systems were compromised.

    Okta Access Gateway: admin-console command execution and an auth-source bypass to the Admin Console (CVE-2026-115547, CVE-2026-115546)

    Okta fixed two Okta Access Gateway (OAG) bugs on Oct 22. CVE-2026-115547 (CVSS 9.1) lets an authenticated administrator run system commands as the OAG service account through specially formatted configuration values. CVE-2026-115546 (CVSS 8.1) lets any user with a valid session change the authentication-source parameter during sign-on and get a SAML assertion for the Admin Console. Combined, a regular gateway user could potentially reach command execution. Both are fixed in 2026.10.2. OAG also bundles a PHP runtime hit by PHP2Shell, fixed in 2026.44.0 (released Oct 23). Okta's cloud services are not affected.

    PHP2Shell: critical unauthenticated RCE in PHP core

    Two critical remote-code-execution flaws in PHP core (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, aka “PHP2Shell”) were disclosed early after an embargo leak. Both score CVSS 9.2 and can let an unauthenticated attacker run code on servers serving PHP web requests, especially Apache mod_php. Patches shipped Oct 21 2026 (QNAP shipped NAS firmware fixes Oct 24; other appliance vendors are still preparing fixes); exploitation attempts were observed before and after the patch, and watchTowr / AWS report active scanning.

    Okta support system breach: HAR files with session tokens stolen

    An attacker used a stolen service account to get into Okta's customer support system and download files from 134 customers. Some were HAR files with live session tokens, which were used to hijack the Okta sessions of 5 customers, including BeyondTrust, Cloudflare and 1Password. Okta later found the attacker also downloaded the names and emails of all support system users.
