CVE-2017-9226
CriticalSummary
An issue was discovered in Oniguruma 6.2.0, used in Oniguruma-mod in Ruby through 2.4.1 and mbstring in PHP through 7.1.5, where a heap out-of-bounds write or read occurs during regular expression compilation. Octal numbers larger than 0xff are not handled correctly, leading to memory corruption.
Risk Assessment
Organizations may be exposed to attacks exploiting this vulnerability, potentially leading to memory corruption and system takeover.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update Oniguruma to the latest version and monitor applications using Ruby and PHP to detect and block potential attacks.

- CVE-2026-61534Critical
In the Yayson library for serializing and reading JSON API data in JavaScript, prior to 4.3.0, Store and LegacyStore use attacker-controlled JSON:API type, id, and relationship names as keys in plain-object lookup tables. A document whose type is __proto__ causes model-cache writes to modify Object.prototype, with the attacker controlling the polluted property name through id and its value through attributes. This can result in process-wide prototype pollution, causing denial of service and logic corruption.
- CVE-2026-57145Critical
In PraisonAI, a multi-agent teams system, prior to 4.6.62, src/praisonai/praisonai/tools/multiedit.py passes the LLM-controlled filepath parameter directly to open for reading and writing without traversal rejection, symlink resolution, a workspace boundary, or protected-path checks. Prompt-influenced agents can read or overwrite files.
- CVE-2026-57131Critical
In PraisonAI, a multi-agent teams system, prior to 4.6.58, praisonai.jobs.server.create_app mounts praisonai.jobs.router.create_router under /api/v1/runs without authentication or per-job authorization. Network clients can submit attacker-controlled prompts and agent configuration, list and read jobs, stream results, and cancel or delete other jobs.
- CVE-2026-90961Critical
The LdapAuth and LinOTPAuth plugins in MISP contain an authentication bypass vulnerability. Missing input validation allows empty or non-string credentials to reach authentication logic, leading to unauthenticated LDAP binds (RFC 4513) or acceptance of empty passwords. This can allow an attacker to impersonate any known user without a password.
- CVE-2026-90898Critical
Bifrost registers MCP clients through its management API, where a stdio client is a command plus args that is started immediately upon client addition, with no MCP handshake required. Authentication is disabled by default (governance.auth_config.is_enabled=false), meaning every caller is treated as a local admin. A single unauthenticated POST /api/mcp/client is enough to run a program as the Bifrost process user (appuser on the official image).
Original NVD description (English source)
An issue was discovered in Oniguruma 6.2.0, as used in Oniguruma-mod in Ruby through 2.4.1 and mbstring in PHP through 7.1.5. A heap out-of-bounds write or read occurs in next_state_val() during regular expression compilation. Octal numbers larger than 0xff are not handled correctly in fetch_token() and fetch_token_in_cc(). A malformed regular expression containing an octal number in the form of '\700' would produce an invalid code point value larger than 0xff in next_state_val(), resulting in an out-of-bounds write memory corruption.
