CVE-2008-1078
HighSummary
Podatność CVE-2008-1078 dotyczy pakietów am-utils i net-fs w systemach Gentoo, rPath Linux oraz innych dystrybucjach. Umożliwia lokalnym użytkownikom nadpisywanie dowolnych plików poprzez atak symlink na tymczasowy plik expn[PID].
Risk Assessment
Zagrożenie to może prowadzić do nieautoryzowanego dostępu do danych oraz modyfikacji plików systemowych, co może wpłynąć na integralność systemu. Organizacje powinny być świadome ryzyka związanego z lokalnymi użytkownikami mogącymi wykorzystać tę podatność.
Recommendation
Zaleca się aktualizację pakietów am-utils i net-fs do najnowszych wersji, które eliminują tę podatność. Dodatkowo, warto ograniczyć uprawnienia lokalnych użytkowników do systemu, aby zminimalizować ryzyko wykorzystania tej luki.

Pandora contains a path traversal vulnerability in its archive extraction worker. When processing a specially crafted archive or disk image, attacker-controlled file paths could be used without ensuring that the resulting destination remained within the intended extraction directory. An attacker able to submit a malicious file for analysis could use path traversal sequences or crafted paths to cause extracted content to be written outside the designated extraction directory, potentially overwriting files accessible to the Pandora worker process.

An OS command injection weakness in the read-only enforcement of the SQL validation component in Amazon awslabs postgres-mcp-server before 1.1.7 might allow an unauthenticated actor to execute operating system commands on the host of a self-managed PostgreSQL server by placing a crafted COPY ... TO PROGRAM statement into content that is processed when an authenticated user interacts with the MCP server in its default read-only mode.
- CVE-2026-54694Critical
SkillTree before version 4.4.2 contains an XSS vulnerability resulting from a combination of two flaws: lack of HTML encoding in StringHighlighter.js and use of v-html in HighlightedValue.vue. An attacker can register an account with malicious firstName/lastName/nickname fields, and when an administrator opens the Quiz Runs page, the payload executes in their browser. There are three attack paths with escalating impact: basic XSS, remote script loading via import(), and CSRF token theft.
- CVE-2026-87929Critical
MaxSite CMS through 109.6 ships with a hardcoded session encryption key in application/config/config.php that is never changed during installation, allowing unauthenticated attackers to forge administrator session cookies. Attackers can mint a malicious ci_session cookie with administrator privileges by computing an HMAC-SHA1 using the publicly known encryption key, bypassing authentication checks in is_login() and mso_check_allow() functions.
- CVE-2026-47156Critical
MantisBT versions 2.28.3 and earlier contain a critical authentication bypass in the SOAP API's mci_check_login() function. Any user knowing any valid cookie_string can authenticate as any other user (knowing their username), including the administrator, without knowing the target's password. The vulnerability is exploitable with zero prior access on default installations because self-registration is enabled by default.

Cash Collect contains an improper authorization vulnerability in the Sage AR Automation API. Administrative functions do not properly verify user privileges, allowing authenticated low-privileged users to create administrator accounts and obtain elevated privileges.
- CVE-2026-67403Critical
Cash Collect contains an improper authorization vulnerability in the Sage AR Automation API. Insufficient tenant-level authorization checks allow authenticated users to access administrative resources belonging to other tenants by specifying a valid non predictable tenant identifier.

eprosima Fast DDS versions prior to 2.6.12, 2.14.6, 3.2.4, 3.3.1, and 3.4.2 have a remotely triggerable Out-of-Bounds Read while processing RTPS DATA_FRAG submessages. An attacker can craft a DATA_FRAG with a large sampleSize but a small actual payload, leading to reading past the received UDP datagram buffer and copying adjacent heap memory into the reassembly buffer.

A heap-based buffer overflow in VPN certificate ASN.1 decoding may allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on Check Point Quantum Security Management and Quantum Security Gateway systems.
Original NVD description (English source)
expn in the am-utils and net-fs packages for Gentoo, rPath Linux, and other distributions, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the expn[PID] temporary file. NOTE: this is the same issue as CVE-2003-0308.1.
