CyberSIXT Evidence Panel

**Critical Vulnerabilities Detected:** Four active exploits have been reported today: 1) CVE-2026-33824 (Microsoft IKE Service Extensions Double Free Vulnerability), 2) CVE-2026-59310 (Broadcom VMware vCenter Path Traversal Vulnerability), 3) CVE-2026-55040 (Microsoft SharePoint Weak Authentication Vulnerability), and 4) CVE-2026-65400 (Apple macOS Improper Authentication Vulnerability).
