Two new exploits, KittyStager and SearchOrg, have been reported on September 17, 2026. KittyStager is a zero-stage command and control (C2) tool designed for stealthy payload deployment and information gathering, lacking command execution capabilities. It includes a client and API for task management and is intended for educational purposes. SearchOrg allows users to gather information about a company's email domain using DNS, NMAP, and Shodan, requiring specific tools and API access. Both tools highlight the increasing sophistication of cyber threats and the need for organizations to remain vigilant. The current status of these exploits is not fully clear, as they are newly introduced without confirmed widespread exploitation.
