Multiple security flaws have been exposed in recent software updates and data breaches, affecting various companies and software. Microsoft's May 2026 Patch Tuesday updates addressed 120 vulnerabilities, including 17 critical flaws, but did not include any zero-day exploits. Meanwhile, Fortinet disclosed two critical vulnerabilities in its FortiSandbox and FortiAuthenticator products, which could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code on unpatched systems.

In other news, Škoda Auto reported a data breach after attackers hacked its online shop and stole customer data. The company has fixed the security flaw and notified the relevant authorities.
