CVE-2026-14529

critical · CVSS 9.4 · IBM WebSphere Application Server

IBM WebSphere Application Server 9.0, and 8.5 and IBM WebSphere Application Server - Liberty 17.0.0.3 through 26.0.0.8 traditional is vulnerable to server-side request forgery (SSRF) when the SIP container feature (sipServlet-1.1) is enabled.

CVE-2026-41939

critical · CVSS 9.8 · Epic Care Everywhere Gateway

Care Everywhere Gateway 14.3.10 contains a hard-coded credentials vulnerability in the bundled WildFly 8.2.0.Final management interface that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to gain administrative access by using default credentials identical across all installations. Attackers can authenticate to the exposed WildFly management console on port 20990 and deploy a malicious Web Application Archive file through the Deployments interface to achieve remote code execution as the Windows machine account. Version 14.x.x was declared end-of-life (EOL) in 2017 and future releases have addressed the vulnerable finding.

CVE-2026-59309

critical · CVSS 9.8 · VMware vCenter

VMware vCenter contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the VMware Directory Service. A malicious actor with network access to vCenter may exploit this issue to bypass authentication and gain unauthorized access to the system.

CVE-2026-66803

critical · CVSS 10 · Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB

Improper access control in Azure Cosmos DB allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.

CVE-2026-7849

critical · CVSS 9.8 · Unknown

Due to improper neutralization of special elements, an unauthenticated remote attacker is able to inject a command into the system configuration which is subsequently executed as root.

CVE-2026-17566

critical · CVSS 9.9 · pgAdmin 4

pgAdmin 4's Import/Export Data tool builds a psql \copy (...) command line by interpolating a user-supplied SQL query into a Jinja template and passing the rendered line to psql via --command. To stop an attacker from breaking out of the (...) wrapper, create_import_export_job() (route POST /import_export/job/<sid>, gated only by the ordinary, commonly-granted tools_import_export_data permission) validated the query with a hand-written parenthesis-balance checker, _is_query_parens_balanced(). That checker always treated a backslash before a single quote (\') as escaping the quote, i.e. as if standard_conforming_strings were off. PostgreSQL has defaulted standard_conforming_strings to on since 9.1 (2010), the default on every PostgreSQL version pgAdmin 4 currently supports (13-18); under that default psql's own \copy tokenizer treats \ as an ordinary character, so a single quote immediately after it closes the string literal. A query such as SELECT 'a\') TO PROGRAM 'echo pwned' x' was therefore accepted as "balanced" by pgAdmin's checker (which believed the ) was still inside the string), while psql, run through the actual rendered command line, closes the string at that point and treats the following ) as the end of the wrapping \copy (...) subquery, exposing an attacker-chosen TO PROGRAM '<command>' clause that psql executes via popen() -- independent of a subsequent syntax error later on the same line. This is the same class of bug as CVE-2025-12762/CVE-2025-13780 (RCE via psql meta-command/COPY injection during PLAIN-format dump restore), reached through an independently written defense in a different module (Import/Export Data rather than Restore) that had its own, different logic bug (inverted backslash-escape semantics rather than a BOM-defeated regex anchor). The fix rejects any backslash inside a single-quoted string in the query outright, rather than picking one of the two possible psql interpretations. This is intentionally conservative: because the corr…

CVE-2026-67308

critical · CVSS 10 · Wazuh

Wazuh workflows before 44bf114 contain a shell injection vulnerability in GitHub Actions that allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands by submitting pull requests with crafted VERSION.json files. Attackers can inject shell metacharacters into environment variables that are directly interpolated into run steps, enabling command execution and exfiltration of secrets including GITHUB_TOKEN and AWS credentials on self-hosted runners.

CVE-2026-67324

critical · CVSS 9.8 · GitPython

GitPython 3.1.50 fails to recognize joined short-option forms such as -u<value> (the short form of --upload-pack=<value>) when enforcing its default unsafe-option gate. When an application passes attacker-influenced clone options into Repo.clone_from(..., multi_options=..., allow_unsafe_options=False), an attacker can supply -u<helper> to bypass the gate that blocks --upload-pack/-u, causing Git to execute the specified helper command during clone. Fixed in 3.1.51.

CVE-2026-67330

critical · CVSS 9.9 · better-auth

@better-auth/scim (a better-auth plugin) versions >= 1.4.0-beta.27 through <= 1.6.21 and >= 1.7.0-beta.0 through <= 1.7.0-beta.9 contain an authorization bypass. SCIM token issuance did not reject provider IDs already used by existing SSO, SAML, OIDC, generic OAuth, or social account providers, and the same logical provider ID was used for both SCIM provider configuration and account ownership. An authenticated user could mint a SCIM token whose provider ID collided with an existing provider namespace, causing SCIM user routes to resolve account rows the token never provisioned. This allowed listing, reading, updating (including rewriting global profile/email fields without uniqueness checks), and deleting global user accounts and sessions, resulting in account takeover and unauthorized deprovisioning. Fixed in 1.6.22 and 1.7.0-beta.10 (1.7.0-rc.0).

CVE-2026-67341

critical · CVSS 9.8 · ArcadeDB

ArcadeDB versions before 26.7.2 fail to enforce scripting authorization checks on the SQL DEFINE FUNCTION statement with LANGUAGE js. Attackers with database access can execute arbitrary JavaScript code by submitting DEFINE FUNCTION statements, bypassing security controls intended to restrict scripting to administrators.
