HighSummary
In version 1.9.22 of Kiwi, the file examples/framework/news/news3.py does not validate strings before launching the program specified by the BROWSER environment variable, which may allow remote attackers to conduct argument-injection attacks via a crafted URL.
Risk Assessment
Attackers could exploit this vulnerability to execute unauthorized programs on the victim's system, potentially leading to serious security breaches.
Recommendation
It is recommended to upgrade to a newer version of Kiwi that implements proper string validation to mitigate the risk of attacks.

A vulnerability was identified in Seetong T8108, T8108P, T8116 and T8232 version 4.6.1.4-build202604241011. The affected element is an unknown function of the Debug Service component, leading to improper authentication. The attack can be launched remotely and the exploit is publicly available.
- CVE-2026-101090Critical
Nezha 2.2.3 contains a Host header injection regression in the OAuth2 redirect endpoint. When the dashboard_host setting is empty, /api/v1/oauth2/{provider} reflects the attacker-supplied Host header into the redirect_uri. An attacker can steal the victim's authorization code and take over the account.
- CVE-2026-101084Critical
obot versions before v0.21.1 fail to enforce Access Control Rules on the /mcp-connect endpoint, allowing any authenticated user to connect to restricted MCP servers if they possess the server ID. Attackers can bypass authorization to access sensitive backend systems.
- CVE-2026-101065Critical
Obot up to commit d7e6970, when started via the Docker quickstart from README, listens on 0.0.0.0:8080 with authentication disabled. Every request is mapped to a synthetic 'nobody' user with Owner and Admin roles, granting full administrative access. The quickstart also mounts /var/run/docker.sock, giving access to the host's Docker control surface.

- CVE-2026-100741Critical
Eval injection vulnerability in hMailServer (versions 6.0.0-6.3.3) allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary JScript in the service process with service account privileges. It requires non-default configuration: event scripting enabled, JScript as script language, and an OnClientValidatePassword handler defined. Exploitation uses a password with backslash and apostrophe that is not properly escaped.
- CVE-2026-100721Critical
A vulnerability in vm2 before 3.12.2 allows an authorization bypass in the NodeVM external-module resolver. When an embedder configures `require.external` with a custom resolver and `context: 'host'`, guest code can require an allowlisted module and then an absolute path of a non-allowlisted sibling sharing the resolved prefix. This leads to a sandbox escape and arbitrary code execution in the host process.
- CVE-2026-100740Critical
A vulnerability in D-Link DIR-895L A1_102b07 affects the tunnel_set_params function in tunnel.c of the L2TP Control Channel Parser component. Manipulation results in an out-of-bounds write. The attack can be initiated remotely, and the exploit is now public.
