AhsayCBS Critical Flaws Enable Cryptojacking Through Incomplete Patches
In October 2026, threat actors exploited two critical vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-105133 and CVE-2026-105134) in Ahsay's AhsayCBS backup software to deploy web shells and XMRig cryptocurrency miners. The flaws allowed attackers to chain authentication bypass with remote code execution capabilities on exposed systems. Initial patches released in August 2026 were incomplete, prompting Ahsay to issue emergency hotfixes in versions 10.3.4.45 and 9.15.2.70. The active exploitation led CISA to add both vulnerabilities to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog with a mandatory October 17, 2026 remediation deadline for federal agencies. This incident highlights the growing trend of cryptojacking attacks targeting enterprise backup infrastructure and the challenges of incomplete vulnerability remediation in critical business systems.
