CVE-2016-1493
HighSummary
Intel Driver Update Utility before version 2.4 retrieves driver updates in cleartext, making it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted file.
Risk Assessment
The organization is exposed to attacks that could lead to remote code execution, potentially resulting in data loss or system takeover.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update the Intel Driver Update Utility to version 2.4 or later to mitigate this vulnerability.

WACRM 0.7.0 and earlier has vulnerabilities: row-level security policies allow authenticated users to modify their own role and account ID, enabling privilege escalation and cross-tenant movement. Additionally, match_ai_knowledge_fts and match_ai_knowledge_semantic run as SECURITY DEFINER with no account membership check, allowing non-members to read another tenant's knowledge chunks.
- CVE-2026-84383Critical
libheif from 1.22.0 to 1.23.2 has a heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability. Crafted HEIF/HEIC/AVIF files with nested iden/auxl references cause duplicate Alpha planes with different bit depths, and scale_nearest_neighbor() allocates a buffer based on the first plane's 8-bit depth, leading to an overflow.
- CVE-2026-75031Critical
In the interchange/interchange project, a critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability was found in the "quick question" admin feature. In default installations arbitrary Perl code can be injected and executed server-side by unauthenticated users. The Perl code normally runs within a Safe container which limits the scope of what it can do, unless the non-default AllowGlobal directive is configured for the catalog being accessed.

kcp before 0.31.4 and 0.32.2 fails to strip inbound identity headers (X-Remote-User, X-Remote-Group, X-Remote-Extra-*) before forwarding requests to shards. Any authenticated tenant can inject X-Remote-Group: system:masters, gaining full privileges.
- CVE-2026-10858Critical
IBM MQ for HPE NonStop 8.1.0 through 8.1.0.40 has a heap buffer underflow when processing multi-segment messages, which could allow an authenticated attacker to cause denial of service or arbitrary code execution.
- CVE-2026-10747Critical
IBM MQ Appliance has a heap buffer overflow in protocol message processing before authentication, allowing a remote attacker to cause DoS or potentially execute arbitrary code.
- CVE-2025-53837Critical
XWiki Rendering prior to 14.10.2 and 15.0 RC1 allows any user who can edit their profile or any document to execute arbitrary script macros, including Groovy and Python, leading to remote code execution. The rendering output is included as HTML macro content without further escaping, allowing closure of the HTML macro and injection of script macros with programming rights.
