10 JUN 2026 | FOR: SENIOR SRE/INFRASTRUCTURE — LOS ANGELES BLUF: June 2026 Patch Tuesday is record-breaking at 206 CVEs with one zero-day (RoguePlanet) already exploited in the wild; Ivanti Sentry carries a max-severity unauthenticated RCE; ServiceNow is actively being exploited against customer instances — patch or mitigate all three today. CYBER PATCH TUESDAY — IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED Microsoft patched 206 vulnerabilities 09 JUN, largest single Patch Tuesday on record. Three publicly disclosed zero-days: YellowKey, GreenPlasma, MiniPlasma. [BleepingComputer, CrowdStrike] [HIGH CONFIDENCE] RoguePlanet (CVE unconfirmed at time of writing): race condition in Microsoft Defender exploited in the wild, achieves LPE to SYSTEM on fully-patched Windows. Public exploit code released. Patch deployment blocked on some endpoints due to separate Windows Update installation failure — verify patch status manually. [SecurityWeek, BleepingComputer, Rapid7] [HIGH CONFIDENCE] Ivanti Sentry (formerly MobileIron Sentry): two critical vulnerabilities disclosed 09 JUN, at least one rated max severity. Unauthenticated OS command injection → remote code execution as root. Ivanti has prior exploitation history; treat as actively targeted until confirmed otherwise. [Rapid7, BleepingComputer] [HIGH CONFIDENCE] ServiceNow: vulnerability known internally since 07 APR 2026 patched only after confirmed exploitation against customer instances. Unauthorized access to customer data confirmed. If your org uses ServiceNow SaaS, verify your instance is on current patch level and audit access logs from 07 APR forward. [SecurityWeek, The Hacker News, BleepingComputer] [HIGH CONFIDENCE] Arista EOS: actively exploited vulnerability, no patch planned. Vendor advises mitigations or device retirement. Relevant if your network stack includes Arista switching/routing. [SecurityWeek] [HIGH CONFIDENCE] SAP NetWeaver and Commerce Cloud: critical flaws patched 09-10 JUN. NetWeaver has been a high-value target for Chinese APT activity in prior cycles. [BleepingComputer] [MODERATE CONFIDENCE] OpenSSL: high-severity vulnerability patched in latest release; 18 total CVEs addressed, several AI-assisted discoveries. Update OpenSSL across all services and container base images. [SecurityWeek] [HIGH CONFIDENCE] ICS/OT — DATA CENTER PHYSICAL SYSTEMS ...
