What's getting pwned right now

Arista VeloCloud Orchestrator (VCO) On-Prem

Arista patched an actively exploited critical SQL injection flaw (CVE-2026-114625, CVSS 9.9) in on-prem VeloCloud Orchestrator that lets any authenticated user gain operator privileges and masquerade as the local 'superuser operator'. Hosted VCO is already patched; on-prem admins need to upgrade.

x402 SDKs (TypeScript @x402/*, Python x402, Go)

V12 disclosed 25 flaws in the x402 agent-payment SDKs, three rated critical: the default client had no spending limit (a hostile API could ask for an agent's whole token balance), the TypeScript Solana facilitator accepted token approvals as payments, and the SIWx login helper signed messages for other websites. All three were fixed in the August 18 releases, but no advisory was published, so npm audit and PyPI don't warn. Update @x402/fetch, @x402/axios, @x402/extensions and @x402/svm to 2.23.0 or later.

GitLab CE/EE (self-managed)

GitLab released a critical patch on Oct 21 2026 for CVE-2026-110264: an integer overflow in the bundled Onigmo / regex compiler that can allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute code on self-managed GitLab. CVSS 10.0; every CE/EE version from 7.0 (2014) is in range. Instances that only applied the Oct 12 regex fix remain vulnerable and must upgrade again.

Keycloak / Red Hat Build of Keycloak (keycloak-services)

A flaw in Keycloak's reset-credentials flow (keycloak-services) lets an unauthenticated attacker force a password reset for any user without clicking the emailed verification link, then set new credentials and take over the account. Red Hat rates it CVSS 9.1. Fixes shipped in August (26.4.15, 26.6.6, 26.7.2); on Oct 21 a full proof-of-concept with check and takeover modes was published on Exploit-DB, so unpatched Keycloak instances should be upgraded now.

Node.js

Node2Shell (CVE-2026-111497, also written Node 2 Shell) is a Brotli decoder out-of-bounds write in Node.js that can let an attacker run code when an app decompresses attacker-controlled Brotli data: Express 5 / body-parser 2.x request bodies sent with Content-Encoding: br, Brotli responses read by fetch(), or node:zlib on untrusted input. OpenAI Codex Security (Khai Tran and Sylvie Mayer) reported it; Node.js fixed it on Oct 21 2026 in 26.12.1, 24.22.1 and 22.23.4, alongside nine other CVEs (TLS hostname/IP bypasses, DNS NUL truncation) and a CA store refresh for the eMudhra incident. On Oct 22 Imperva Red Team, which coined the name Node2Shell, ran code on the official Node.js 24.22.0 image. NVD lists CVSS 4.0 9.2 (critical); Node.js rates it High. End-of-life lines (Node.js 20, 23, 25 and older) get no fix: upgrade to 26.12.1, 24.22.1 or 22.23.4. Bun is fixed in 1.4.4.

Apple iOS (Safari/WebKit) on out-of-date iPhones

Report URI and iVerify found criminals using 660+ re-registered expired analytics and ad-tag domains (DeadTag), hacked PrestaShop stores and a malicious Instagram ad to silently serve the Coruna (iOS 13 to 17.2.1) and P7 DarkSword (iOS 18.4 to 18.7) exploit kits. Opening an affected page on a vulnerable iPhone is enough; the spyware steals keychain passwords, crypto wallet data and device info. Updated iPhones are protected, so update iOS (or turn on Lockdown Mode if you can't).

EG Secure Solutions SiteGuard Server Edition

EG Secure Solutions SiteGuard Server Edition contains an OS command injection vulnerability which may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands with root or SYSTEM privileges on the system running the affected product. Added to CISA KEV on 2026-10-20.

Siemens Software Center

Siemens Software Center contains an uncontrolled search path element vulnerability that could allow an authenticated local attacker to place a specially crafted DLL in a directory that the application searches, leading to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the affected application. Added to CISA KEV on 2026-10-20.

OpenCode AI coding agent (Anomaly) on Windows and WSL

A command-injection flaw in the OpenCode AI coding agent let a malicious or later-hijacked remote MCP server run PowerShell commands on a developer's Windows or WSL machine when they started the MCP OAuth sign-in. The server-supplied authorization endpoint was passed unescaped to an old version of the open package. Anomaly fixed it in 1.18.33 on Sep 28 without a CVE or advisory, so scanners won't flag 1.0.137 through 1.18.32. macOS and Linux are not affected. Pillar Security found it and rates it 9.8; no in-the-wild exploitation reported.

Plex Media Server

Four Plex Media Server flaws (CVE-2026-96652/96654/96655/96656), together called Plex2Shell, chain to unauthenticated admin-token theft and code execution. Researcher Zach Main published details Oct 16 and a PoC shortly after; exploitation of internet-facing servers (cryptominers + residential proxies) began by Oct 17. Fixed in 1.43.3.10861 (released earlier in August); CISA added the chain to KEV with a federal deadline of Oct 23.

Fortinet Multiple Products

FortiOS, FortiPAM, FortiProxy, and FortiSwitchManager contain a path traversal vulnerability that may allow an authenticated attacker with admin profile and at least read-write permissions to write or delete arbitrary files via specific CLI commands. Added to CISA KEV on 2026-10-16.

Atlassian Multiple Products

Multiple Atlassian products (Bitbucket Data Center ,Confluence Data Center, Jira Service Management Data Center, Jira Software Data Center, Bamboo Data Center, Crowd Data Center, Crucible and Fisheye) contain a files or directories accessible to external parties vulnerability which could allow an unauthenticated attacker to access specific files within the web application root directory in affected versions. Added to CISA KEV on 2026-10-15.

Next.js (next on npm), sharp / librsvg

On Oct 14 2026 Vercel shipped Next.js 16.4.1 and 15.5.28 with two critical unauthenticated remote code execution fixes held back from the September release: CVE-2026-96889 / GHSA-2464-fhr4-w9xw, a use-after-free in librsvg (via sharp) reachable through the Image Optimization API when SVGs are processed on glibc-based Linux, and GHSA-673q-mjm6-r5xr, RCE in App Router apps with Cache Components when a `use cache` function returns multiple typed arrays. A high-severity Server Actions DoS (GHSA-p3m5-59mp-jv5r) is fixed too. GitHub added the SVG advisory to its global database on Oct 22. No known exploitation.

Ahsay AhsayCBS

Ahsay AhsayCBS contains a command injection vulnerability that could allow a remote attacker to execute operating system commands via manipulation of the random parameter in the Replication Receiver component’s /rps/api/json/UpdateReceivers.do endpoint. This vulnerability can be chained with CVE-2026-105133. CISA added CVE-2026-105134, CVE-2026-105133 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2026-10-14 based on evidence of active exploitation.

Cisco Secure Email Gateway

Cisco Secure Email Gateway contains a relative path traversal vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to write arbitrary files on the underlying operating system. Added to CISA KEV on 2026-10-14.

Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS

Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS contains a code injection vulnerability that could allow an authenticated attacker with network access to execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the firewall. Added to CISA KEV on 2026-10-14.

Linux kernel networking (host side of KVM/Firecracker and similar)

Paulos Yibelo / pwn.ai found a Critical Linux networking flaw (CVE-2026-99999, CVSS 9.3) during Vercel’s $1M Sandbox challenge. Guest-controlled checksum metadata can rewrite an IPv4 header after validation, enabling host-memory disclosure and, in lab conditions, guest-to-host code execution on KVM/Firecracker. Upstream fix merged Oct 2026; host kernels need patch + reboot. Affects multi-tenant VPS / sandbox providers more than end-user desktops.

Citrix NetScaler

Citrix NetScaler ADC (formerly Citrix ADC) and Citrix NetScaler Gateway (formerly Citrix Gateway) contain an improper restriction of operations within the bounds of a memory buffer vulnerability that could allow for a denial of service. Added to CISA KEV on 2026-10-04.

Zammad GmbH Zammad

Zammad GmbH Zammad contains an improper privilege management vulnerability that can allow the local zammad user to escalate privileges to root. This vulnerability can be chained with CVE-2026-102489. CISA added CVE-2026-102490, CVE-2026-102489 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2026-10-02 based on evidence of active exploitation.

Fortinet FortiMail

Fortinet FortiMail CVE-2026-104286 (CVSS 9.8) is an unauthenticated arbitrary file write via path traversal / null-byte issues in Identity-Based Encryption web flows. CISA confirmed active exploitation and ordered federal mitigation; Fortinet published FG-IR-26-175 with patches and interim mitigations (disable IBE / restrict admin/webmail).
