Security NEXT has released its list of the ten most-read articles for the week of September 27 to October 3, 2026, reflecting strong reader interest in active vulnerability exploitation and confirmed security incidents.
Leading the ranking is a report on US authorities warning about the exploitation of five vulnerabilities in SharePoint and WordPress. Second place went to advisories covering multiple flaws in Citrix NetScaler, including two vulnerabilities already confirmed as exploited, prompting organizations to conduct compromise investigations.
Third on the list is Apple's release of iOS 26.7.1, which patches vulnerabilities that may have been used in targeted attacks against specific individuals. Fourth place covered a data breach at car-sharing service Times Car that exposed member personal information.
Further down the ranking, WordPress received another critical vulnerability disclosure requiring an update within just five days. A ransomware incident affecting some group company sales systems at Keio Electric Railway also drew significant attention.
Additional stories included a Chrome security update fixing 32 vulnerabilities, a suspected unauthorized access incident at Japan Post servers still under investigation, a zero-day flaw in Catalyst SD-WAN Manager requiring immediate updates and compromise checks, and multiple vulnerabilities addressed in PHP through newly released security updates.
