▶ Listen to this briefingCVE-2026-72898
Metabase allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to inject arbitrary SQL via the '/reset_password' database endpoint and gain administrator access to the connected Metabase instance.
CVE-2026-58231
SAP Commerce Cloud allows an unauthenticated attacker to abuse a default authentication client and submit specially crafted input to certain functions lacking sufficient validation. Successful exploitation could enable arbitrary code execution and compromise internal components, resulting in high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the application.
CVE-2026-62878
Stack-based buffer overflow in Windows DNS allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.
CVE-2026-71398
Adobe Campaign Classic (ACC) is affected by an Incorrect Authorization vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction. Scope is changed.
CVE-2026-17218
IBM i 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, and 7.3 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code due to an out-of-bounds write.
CVE-2026-66898
A path traversal vulnerability in LXD allows an attacker to manipulate file system paths during backup import and restore operations. When importing or restoring a backup archive, LXD fails to validate instance and storage volume names contained within the archive metadata. An attacker can exploit this flaw by supplying a crafted backup archive with malicious instance or volume names containing path traversal sequences, potentially allowing file access or overwriting outside the designated restore directory.
CVE-2026-73269
A flaw was found in the cluster-curator-controller component. A local user, by creating a ClusterCurator resource with a specific naming convention, can trigger the creation of a cluster-scoped ClusterRoleBinding. This allows the user to escalate their privileges from namespace-local access to cluster-wide control. This privilege escalation grants broad permissions, including the ability to access and manipulate secrets, manage cluster actions, and delete hosted clusters or node pools.
CVE-2026-73296
Microsoft UFO open-source framework for intelligent automation across devices and platforms. Prior to 3.0.8, create_mobile_data_collection_server and create_mobile_action_server in ufo/client/mcp/http_servers/mobile_mcp_server.py exposed Streamable HTTP MCP services on TCP ports 8020 and 8021 without authentication, allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to invoke capture_screenshot, get_ui_tree, tap, swipe, type_text, launch_app, press_key, and click_control against an ADB-connected Android device, disclose screen and device data, and modify device state. This issue is fixed in version 3.0.8.
CVE-2026-17184
IBM Db2 Mirror for i 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code due to external control of file name or path.
CVE-2026-19682
A command injection vulnerability exists in Security Center where a remote, unauthenticated attacker could exploit this issue to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system with the privileges of the service account.
