CVE-2013-4288
HighSummary
W PolicyKit (znanym również jako polkit) występuje warunek wyścigu, który pozwala lokalnym użytkownikom na ominięcie zamierzonych ograniczeń i uzyskanie uprawnień poprzez uruchomienie procesu setuid lub pkexec przed wykonaniem sprawdzenia autoryzacji. Problem ten dotyczy funkcji API polkit_unix_process_new, API dbus oraz opcji --process (unix-process) dla autoryzacji w pkcheck.
Risk Assessment
Organizacja może być narażona na nieautoryzowany dostęp do uprawnień, co może prowadzić do poważnych naruszeń bezpieczeństwa. Użytkownicy lokalni mogą uzyskać dostęp do zasobów, do których nie powinni mieć uprawnień.
Recommendation
Zaleca się aktualizację PolicyKit do najnowszej wersji, aby usunąć tę podatność. Dodatkowo, warto monitorować i ograniczać dostęp do procesów setuid oraz pkexec.

A vulnerability was found in Ruijie RG-EW3000GX EW_3.0(1)B11P380 within the user_list_note module in the file /etc/rg_config/admin. Manipulation of the Name argument leads to OS command injection. The attack can be performed remotely, and the exploit has been publicly disclosed.
- CVE-2026-76420Critical
A vulnerability in the internal configuration of the Apache JServ Protocol (AJP) connector for Cisco Secure FMC Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to impersonate a peer device. The issue is due to incorrect initialization of encryption parameters for the AJP connector at boot time. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute commands as root and gain full control over the FMC REST APIs, but only if the sftunnel connection between FMC and FTD is down.
- CVE-2026-20331Critical
Cisco conducted an internal security review that resulted in a software hardening release addressing multiple internally discovered vulnerabilities in Cisco Secure Adaptive Security Appliance Software, Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense Software, and Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center Software. The vulnerabilities tracked by CVE-2026-20331 relate to failure of protection mechanisms (CWE-693).
- CVE-2026-20307Critical
A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco ISE could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system. The attacker must have at least low-privileged administrative credentials. The issue is due to insecure deserialization of a user-supplied Java byte stream; successful exploitation could allow code execution and privilege escalation to root, and in single-node deployments could cause the ISE node to become unavailable (DoS).
- CVE-2026-20306Critical
A vulnerability in the REST API of Cisco ISE and ISE-PIC could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to perform command injection attacks on the underlying operating system and elevate privileges to root. The attacker must have valid administrative credentials. The issue is due to improper validation of user-supplied input; successful exploitation could allow arbitrary code execution, and in single-node deployments could cause the ISE node to become unavailable (DoS).
- CVE-2026-20305Critical
A vulnerability in the diagnostic tools of Cisco ISE and ISE-PIC could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to perform command injection attacks on the underlying operating system and elevate privileges to root. The attacker must have valid administrative credentials. The issue is due to improper validation of user-supplied input; successful exploitation could allow arbitrary code execution, and in single-node deployments could cause the ISE node to become unavailable (DoS).
- CVE-2026-20234Critical
Cisco conducted an internal security review that resulted in a software hardening release addressing multiple internally discovered vulnerabilities in Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) and Cisco ISE Passive Identity Connector (ISE-PIC). The vulnerabilities tracked by CVE-2026-20234 relate to insufficiently protected credentials (CWE-522).
- CVE-2026-92397Critical
A vulnerability has been found in Ruijie RG-EW3000GX EW_3.0(1)B11P380 within the cc_set function of the file unifyframe-sgi.elf in the configChange component. Manipulation of the data.url argument leads to OS command injection. The attack may be performed remotely, and the exploit has been publicly disclosed.
- CVE-2026-70416Critical
Dell ObjectScale, versions prior to 4.4.0.0, contains a Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to remote code execution.
- CVE-2025-59953Critical
LMDeploy implements an RPC server (AsyncRPCServer in zmq_rpc.py) whose call_and_response() function deserializes received messages using pickles.loads() without any sanitization. This allows remote code execution through the RPC server. The vulnerability exists from version 0.9.1 up to 0.10.2, where it is patched.
Original NVD description (English source)
Race condition in PolicyKit (aka polkit) allows local users to bypass intended PolicyKit restrictions and gain privileges by starting a setuid or pkexec process before the authorization check is performed, related to (1) the polkit_unix_process_new API function, (2) the dbus API, or (3) the --process (unix-process) option for authorization to pkcheck.
