CVE-2018-25412
2026-05-30
Delta Sql 1.8.2 contains an arbitrary file upload vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to upload malicious files by sending POST requests to docs_upload.php with crafted multipart form data. Attackers can upload PHP files with arbitrary content to the upload directory and execute them on the server for remote code execution.
CVE-2026-45102
2026-05-30
OneUptime is an open-source monitoring and observability platform. Prior to 10.0.98, OneUptime uses the Node.js' vm module as an isolation primitive. This API was not designed for that and can be escaped via error objects and infinite recursion. This vulnerability is fixed in 10.0.98.
CVE-2026-47744
2026-05-30
Shopper is a Headless e-commerce Admin Panel. Prior to 2.8.0, two distinct authorization defects in the team settings allowed any authenticated panel user to take over the RBAC system. Settings/Team/Index had no mount() authorization. Any authenticated user could load the page and use its public actions to create new roles and delete other users, including administrators. Settings/Team/RolePermission gated its write actions on the read-only view_users permission. Any user holding view_users could grant themselves or any other user arbitrary permissions, including manage_users and edit_orders, effectively escalating to full panel administrator from a read-only account. Combined, these two defects allow a low-privilege authenticated user to obtain administrator privileges and remove the legitimate administrators from the panel. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.8.0.
CVE-2026-45663
2026-05-30
Dokploy is a free, self-hostable Platform as a Service (PaaS). In 0.29.1 and earlier, a command injection vulnerability exists in the Docker file upload functionality. When an authenticated user uploads a file to a container, the destinationPath parameter is not properly sanitized and is directly interpolated into a shell command string. By including shell metacharacters such as ; or ", an attacker can escape the intended docker cp command and execute arbitrary OS commands on the Dokploy host.
CVE-2016-9535
2026-05-30
tif_predict.h and tif_predict.c in libtiff 4.0.6 have assertions that can lead to assertion failures in debug mode, or buffer overflows in release mode, when dealing with unusual tile size like YCbCr with subsampling. Reported as MSVR 35105, aka "Predictor heap-buffer-overflow.".
CVE-2016-1908
2026-05-30
The client in OpenSSH before 7.2 mishandles failed cookie generation for untrusted X11 forwarding and relies on the local X11 server for access-control decisions, which allows remote X11 clients to trigger a fallback and obtain trusted X11 forwarding privileges by leveraging configuration issues on this X11 server, as demonstrated by lack of the SECURITY extension on this X11 server.
CVE-2017-7574
2026-05-29
Schneider Electric SoMachine Basic 1.4 SP1 and Schneider Electric Modicon TM221CE16R 1.3.3.3 devices have a hardcoded-key vulnerability. The Project Protection feature is used to prevent unauthorized users from opening an XML protected project file, by prompting the user for a password. This XML file is AES-CBC encrypted; however, the key used for encryption (SoMachineBasicSoMachineBasicSoMa) cannot be changed. After decrypting the XML file with this key, the user password can be found in the decrypted data. After reading the user password, the project can be opened and modified with the Schneider product.
CVE-2017-7575
2026-05-29
Schneider Electric Modicon TM221CE16R 1.3.3.3 devices allow remote attackers to discover the application-protection password via a \x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x05\x01\x5a\x00\x03\x00 request to the Modbus port (502/tcp). Subsequently the application may be arbitrarily downloaded, modified, and uploaded.
