▶ Listen to this briefingCVE-2026-52297
FFmpeg before 9.0 has an out-of-bounds read because there is insufficiently padded extradata in the MOV parsing path in mov_read_iacb in libavformat/mov.c.
CVE-2026-90561
Strapi versions 4.x through 4.26.2 and 5.x before 5.48.1 contain a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the content manager WYSIWYG preview component that fails to strip script tags from rich text. An Author-role user can store malicious script tags in rich text fields that execute in an Editor or Super Admin's session when the preview pane is expanded, enabling account takeover.
CVE-2026-90678
An issue was discovered in HAProxy 3.3.0 through 3.4.4 and in 3.5-dev1 through 3.5-dev5. Exploitation requires an HTTP/3 frontend: HAProxy must be built with QUIC support and configured with a QUIC bind listener, and the affected traffic must reach a backend over HTTP/1.1 using chunked transfer coding on a reused connection. Under those conditions, when an HTTP/3 request carries no Content-Length header, the HTTP/3 multiplexer credits the length declared in a DATA frame header to the stream endpoint's known-input-payload estimate at the moment the frame header is decoded, before the payload has been received, and that declared length is emitted verbatim as the HTTP/1.1 chunk size. A remote unauthenticated client that declares more payload than it delivers and then ends the stream causes HAProxy to announce a chunk larger than the bytes it writes and to return the connection to the idle pool in a desynchronized state. The result is potential HTTP request smuggling on reused backend connections: an attacker can place a request past a frontend rule such as a path-based http-request deny, so that the smuggled request is never seen by HAProxy's HTTP analysis, and can cause concurrent clients' requests, including their request lines and Authorization headers, to be consumed as the attacker's request body and lost. Exploitation is not deterministic; it depends on a race with backend connection pooling, succeeding in a majority of but not all trials during testing, and can be retried freely. The mechanism was introduced in 3.3-dev10; releases 3.2.x and earlier are unaffected.
CVE-2026-90772
Amundsen frontend through 4.3.0 renders table, dashboard, and feature descriptions with dangerouslySetInnerHTML without HTML sanitization in ResourceListItem components. Attackers can inject malicious markup like img elements with onerror handlers into descriptions via the metadata service or Elasticsearch, executing JavaScript in every user's browser that views search results.
CVE-2026-90775
PostGIS address_standardizer through 3.7.0 fails to validate the Weight parameter from caller-supplied rules tables before using it as an array index. Attackers can craft malicious rule rows with out-of-range Weight values to trigger out-of-bounds reads in the load_value array, causing the PostgreSQL backend process to crash and terminate all cluster sessions.
