CVE-2003-1056
HighSummary
The ed editor for Sun Solaris 2.6, 7, and 8 allows local users to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to modify or delete critical system files, potentially leading to serious security and integrity issues.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update the system to the latest version and restrict access to the ed editor only to trusted users.

The Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar – Amelia (Premium) plugin for WordPress versions 8.0 - 9.6.2 is vulnerable to privilege escalation due to insufficient validation of the 'type' parameter in the customer update endpoint. This allows customers to set their role to 'manager' and trigger creation of a WordPress user with the wpamelia-manager role when 'externalId' is set to 0. Unauthenticated attackers can escalate to administrator by first elevating to manager, then creating a provider entity linked to an administrator user ID and overwriting that administrator's password.
- CVE-2026-84699Critical
Team Password Manager before version 14.184.308 fails to enforce authentication requirements in the local account password reset flow. Unauthenticated attackers can reset local account passwords and authenticate as those users to gain unauthorized access.
- CVE-2026-84480Critical
WWBN AVideo fails to validate password recovery token expiration in userRecoverPassSave.json.php, allowing attackers to use expired tokens to reset account passwords indefinitely. Attackers who obtain a recovery token can use it at any time to change the target account's password and gain full account access.
- CVE-2026-84479Critical
WWBN AVideo (current e01e41ecc and earlier) makes three login-time security controls depend solely on the client-supplied User-Agent header. The isAVideoEncoder()/isAVideoMobileApp() checks match HTTP_USER_AGENT against a hardcoded literal ("AVideoEncoder"/"AVideoMobileApp") with no IP check or shared secret. An attacker who submits valid credentials and sets User-Agent: AVideoEncoder bypasses two-factor authentication, skips brute-force captcha escalation, and avoids being recorded in the login/device audit history. No patch is available at the time of publication.
- CVE-2026-84372Critical
Predis, a Redis and Valkey client for PHP, versions 3.0.0-RC1 through 3.3.0, improperly processes the RESP buffer in aggregate connections, allowing an attacker to inject additional commands via keys or values containing CRLF sequences. This can lead to shard-wide cache deletion, targeted data modification, data reads, or node disruption. Only pipeline() is affected; transactions are not vulnerable. Fixed in version 3.3.0.
- CVE-2026-75604Critical
Next.js, a React framework for full-stack applications, versions 13.4.0 through 15.5.24 and 16.3.3, on Windows-hosted servers does not properly escape backslashes in route segments when constructing cache paths, allowing a remote attacker to traverse outside the cache root and expose private data, including the server-reference-manifest encryption key. Disclosure of this key can enable remote code execution. Fixed in versions 15.5.24 and 16.3.3.
- CVE-2023-54391Critical
Proxmox Virtual Environment (VE) versions 7.0 through 8.0 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability in libpve-access-control before 8.0.4, allowing unauthenticated attackers to authenticate as any existing enabled user without a configured second factor by supplying an arbitrary tfa-challenge value in the API login endpoint. Attackers can completely skip password verification, gaining unauthorized access including to the root@pam account. All affected releases are end of life.
- CVE-2026-73749Critical
Multiple vulnerabilities exist in a daemon of AOS-CX that may allow for improper processing of malformed input. An unauthenticated remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending specially crafted packets to the affected service. Successful exploitation could result in remote code execution with elevated privileges.
- CVE-2026-76658Critical
A vulnerability has been identified in the SSH daemon of HPE Networking Fabric Composer that could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to gain administrative access to vulnerable AFC hosts. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands as a privileged user on the underlying operating system leading to complete system compromise.
- CVE-2026-76657Critical
Vulnerabilities have been identified in the API of HPE Networking Fabric Composer that could potentially allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to circumvent existing authentication controls. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to gain administrative privileges leading to complete compromise of the HPE Networking Fabric Composer host.
