Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Active Directory Federation Services cracked wide open
CVE-2026-56155, the access gate is broken
An authorized insider climbs the privilege ladder
Microsoft's own gatekeeper growing sadder, madder
Insufficient granularity — the lock has too much slack
One approved user slipping through the back

[Chorus]
July fifteen, twenty-twenty-six, patch your walls tonight
Three critical CVEs burning red, not yellow, not white
SharePoint bleeding, SonicWall redirected, AD climbing rungs
These aren't hypotheticals — the exploit's in their lungs
Check the KEV catalog, emergency protocol
One unpatched server and the dominoes will fall

[Verse 2]
CVE-2026-56164, SharePoint's missing bouncer
No authentication guarding critical functions — no announcer
Unauthenticated attacker sails across the network wire
Elevates their privilege, sets the permission higher
No password, no credential, no badge required at all
Just a crafted network packet and they're walking through the hall

[Chorus]
July fifteen, twenty-twenty-six, patch your walls tonight
Three critical CVEs burning red, not yellow, not white
SharePoint bleeding, SonicWall redirected, AD climbing rungs
These aren't hypotheticals — the exploit's in their lungs
Check the KEV catalog, emergency protocol
One unpatched server and the dominoes will fall

[Bridge]
SonicWall's SMA1000 — server-side request forgery
CVE-2026-15409, remote and unauthorized, see
The appliance becomes a puppet, pointing where you tell it
Unintended locations getting traffic — can you smell it?
No credentials needed, fully unauthenticated reach
The perimeter you trusted just became a leaky breach

[Verse 3]
Three vendors, three vectors, three reasons to move fast
Microsoft twice over, SonicWall rounding out the cast
Privilege escalation local, privilege escalation remote
SSRF hijacking your appliance like a commandeered boat
Beginner or not — the lesson here is blunt and clear
Unpatched critical vulnerabilities cost more than fear

[Verse 4]
Your SOC team is watching but the window closes quick
Threat actors love a Tuesday when the patching makes them sick
They scan the advisories same hour that you do
Racing to exploitation before your change control comes through
Document your assets, know your exposure map
One forgotten legacy box becomes the adversary's trap

[Outro]
CVE-2026-56155 — granularity gone wrong
CVE-2026-56164 — authentication missing all along
CVE-2026-15409 — SonicWall redirected, compromised
July fifteen, twenty-twenty-six — log in and prioritize

[Chorus]
July fifteen, twenty-twenty-six, patch your walls tonight
Three critical CVEs burning red, not yellow, not white
SharePoint bleeding, SonicWall redirected, AD climbing rungs
These aren't hypotheticals — the exploit's in their lungs
Check the KEV catalog, emergency protocol
One unpatched server and the dominoes will fall
