The original headline is: "Australian Cyber Security Centre Issues Alert on Mass Exploitation of CMS Vulnerabilities"

Short summary

The Australian Cyber Security Centre issued a critical alert about a global campaign exploiting 17 known CMS vulnerabilities in WordPress, Joomla, and Craft CMS to install webshells. Attackers mass-scan for unpatched plugins, achieve initial access, and deploy backdoors for data theft, defacement, and network pivoting. The ACSC notes AI may be accelerating threat actors' ability to weaponize new vulnerabilities and urges immediate patching.
