Security desk — threats & advisories
Priority CVEs
Known exploitation, severity and likelihood — ranked for action.
N-central is vulnerable to a pre-auth remote code execution This issue affects N-central: before 2026.3.1.14.
Recommended action
An unsafe dynamic class loading vulnerability exists in the database connection utilities of PaperCut MF and PaperCut NG. The application instantiates database driver classes based on configurable driver names without validating against an allowlist of approved drivers. If an attacker can manipulate system configuration parameters, this enables the execution of arbitrary Java bytecode residing on the application classpath under the security context of the PaperCut server process.
Recommended action
An improper access control vulnerability exists in the web management interface of PaperCut MF and PaperCut NG. Under specific conditions, unauthenticated remote requests targeting administrative functions can trigger backend actions prior to the completion of access validation checks. This allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to modify certain system configurations.
Recommended action
A flaw has been found in Tenda CP3 27.5.57.101. The impacted element is the function CAutoAddWifi::ThreadProc of the file Functions/AutoAddWifi.cpp of the component Kylin. Executing a manipulation can lead to os command injection. The attack may be launched remotely.

IBM Operational Decision Manager 9.6.0.0, 9.5.0.0, 8.11.1.0, 8.11.0.1, 8.12.0.1, 9.5.0.1, and 9.0.0.1 is vulnerable to SQL injection. An unauthenticated attacker can execute arbitrary SQL statements and leverage database functionality to write a web shell to the application web root, resulting in remote code execution.
Internally found bugs present in Thunderbird 154, Thunderbird ESR 153.1 and Thunderbird ESR 140.14. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption or another security-relevant defect and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 155, Firefox ESR 140.15, Firefox ESR 153.2, Thunderbird 155, Thunderbird 140.15, and Thunderbird 153.2.
Integer overflow in the Graphics: ImageLib component. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 155, Firefox ESR 153.2, Thunderbird 155, and Thunderbird 153.2.
Internally found bugs present in Thunderbird 154. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption or another security-relevant defect and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 155 and Thunderbird 155.
Other issue in Firefox Focus for Android. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 155.
Site isolation issue in the DOM: Navigation component. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 155, Firefox ESR 153.2, Thunderbird 155, and Thunderbird 153.2.
A vulnerability was detected in Tenda CP3 27.5.57.101. The affected element is the function sub_2F77E8 of the file Apis/system.c of the component Network Configuration Management. Performing a manipulation results in os command injection. The attack may be initiated remotely.
SadTalker contains an OS command injection vulnerability in the video muxing process where uploaded audio filenames are interpolated into ffmpeg commands without proper escaping. Attackers can upload audio files with shell metacharacters in the filename to break out of quoted arguments and execute arbitrary system commands when video generation occurs.
Lara Dashboard before 1.3.0 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the screenshot-login route that allows unauthenticated attackers to authenticate as any user by email when APP_ENV is not production. Attackers can request the GET /screenshot-login/{email} endpoint with a registered email address to receive a fully authenticated session, enabling access to user administration, settings, database contents, and arbitrary code execution through the module installer.
MOOS core-moos through 10.4.0 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the optional MOOSDB HTTP server that allows unauthenticated clients to write variables. Attackers can send HTTP requests with variable names and values to the MOOSDB HTTP server port to modify MOOS variables including actuator and override commands without authentication.
AutoAgent contains an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in the TCP server that binds to all interfaces and executes attacker-supplied commands as root. Attackers can connect to the exposed communication port and execute arbitrary bash commands within the container, gaining access to bind-mounted host workspace directories.
MOOS-IvP through 24.8.1 contains a buffer overflow vulnerability in StringToIvPFunction() where dimension, piece, and degree counts from encoded BHV_IPF payloads are used as allocation sizes and loop bounds without validation. Attackers can supply crafted payloads with mismatched dimension values to write attacker-controlled doubles past the end of the IvPBox weight array, causing memory corruption and potential code execution.
excel-mcp-server 0.1.8 fails to enforce path confinement in stdio mode when EXCEL_FILES_PATH is unset, allowing attackers to read and write arbitrary files. Attackers can supply unchecked file paths to read and write tools to access any file accessible to the process.
FastChat contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the /register_worker endpoint that allows unauthenticated attackers to register arbitrary worker addresses and perform server-side request forgery. Attackers can register malicious workers under victim model names to intercept user prompts, images, and responses, or probe internal network ports across the worker mesh.
WWBN AVideo contains a path traversal vulnerability in notify.ffmpeg.json.php that allows unauthenticated attackers to write files to arbitrary locations by supplying a caller-chosen path in the avideoRelativePath parameter. Attackers can replay any previously issued ciphertext as a notifyCode token, which is decrypted but never validated, to bypass authentication and write files to the application root and subdirectories.
TEN Framework 0.11.71 contains unauthenticated arbitrary file read and write vulnerabilities in the TMAN Designer file-content API endpoints. Attackers can submit POST and PUT requests to the /api/designer/v1/file-content endpoints to read arbitrary files or write malicious content to system paths, enabling code execution through authorized_keys, cron files, or executable graph files.
Microsoft Windows CVEs
Windows CVEs from the current patch cycle, plus recent actively exploited entries from CISA.
Microsoft Windows Ancillary Function Driver for WinSock contains a use-after-free vulnerability that allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.
Recommended action
Microsoft Windows Update Stack contains a link following vulnerability that allows a local attacker to escalate privileges locally up to SYSTEM.
Recommended action
Microsoft Windows Advanced Local Procedure Call contains a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability that allows an attacker to elevate privileges locally.
