Summary
Rob--W cors-anywhere instances configured as an open proxy allow unauthenticated external users to induce the server to make HTTP requests to arbitrary targets (SSRF). Because the proxy forwards requests and headers, an attacker can reach internal-only endpoints and link-local metadata services, retrieve instance role credentials or other sensitive metadata, and interact with internal APIs and services not intended to be internet-facing.
Risk Assessment
Successful exploitation can result in theft of cloud credentials, unauthorized access to internal services, remote code execution, privilege escalation, data exfiltration, and full compromise of cloud resources.
Recommendation
Restrict the proxy to trusted origins or authentication, whitelist allowed target hosts, prevent access to link-local and internal IP ranges, remove support for unsafe HTTP methods/headers, and deploy network-level and cloud provider protections.

- CVE-2026-109321Critical
Grav Login OAuth plugin (grav-plugin-login-oauth) before 1.4.3 provisions OAuth accounts as ordinary Grav users with a deterministic '<provider>.<id>' username and an unsalted MD5 hash of the provider identifier as the password, without disabling password login. An unauthenticated remote attacker who learns or guesses a provider identifier can reproduce these credentials and log in, gaining administrative control of privileged accounts.
- CVE-2026-108914Critical
A vulnerability was found in Edimax BR-6208AC 1.32 in an unknown function of the file '/goform/formWlSiteSurvey'. Manipulation of the 'ifname' argument causes a buffer overflow that can be exploited remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used; the vendor did not respond and the product is no longer supported.
- CVE-2026-108907Critical
A vulnerability was determined in Netcore NR268 1.7.121109 in the 'user_ok' function of the CGI Execution component. Manipulation causes improper authentication, and the attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized; the vendor did not respond.
- CVE-2026-9191Critical
Progress MarkLogic Server 12.x releases before 12.1.0 and 11.x releases before 11.3.7 do not sufficiently isolate user-supplied code executed through certain REST and XDBC evaluation paths from HTTP request, response, and session state. An attacker able to execute code through an affected path could perform unauthorized actions or compromise an authenticated session.
- CVE-2026-92681Critical
In @neo4j/graphql versions up to and including 7.6.3, @authentication directives applied at the schema level or on Query or Mutation types are silently ignored for top-level fields annotated with @cypher. Only @authentication directives placed directly on individual fields are enforced. An application exposing a top-level @cypher field and relying on schema-level or type-level @authentication allows unauthenticated callers to invoke the field and run the configured Cypher statement with the privileges of the GraphQL service account, potentially permitting reading and modifying data. Fixed in 7.6.4.
- CVE-2026-85956Critical
Progress MarkLogic Server 12.x releases before 12.1.0 and 11.x releases before 11.3.7 allow a remote attacker with delegated database-administrator privileges to perform backup or restore operations on forests outside the authorized database scope, which could result in unauthorized access to or modification of security-critical data.
- CVE-2026-85955Critical
Progress MarkLogic Server 12.x releases before 12.1.0 and 11.x releases before 11.3.7 allow a remote attacker with query-execution access to invoke an XQuery evaluation function without the additional required evaluation privilege, which could result in server-side code execution with elevated permissions.
- CVE-2026-85948Critical
Progress MarkLogic Server 12.x releases before 12.1.0 and 11.x releases before 11.3.7 contain an XQuery injection flaw in a deprecated Management API package path. A remote attacker with manage-user-level privileges could exploit this flaw to obtain persistent unauthorized administrative control.
- CVE-2026-85947Critical
Progress MarkLogic Server versions 12.x before 12.1.0 and 11.x before 11.3.7 contain an authorization flaw in certain forest-management operations. A remote attacker with forest-management privileges could exploit this flaw to create a persistent unauthorized administrator account, potentially resulting in complete unauthorized administrative control of the server.
- CVE-2026-109390Critical
AnyDesk before 8.0.3 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a heap-based buffer overflow, as demonstrated on Linux for command execution as root without the victim approving desktop control. In the stream packet handler for mode 5 in the session protocol, a payload length value is not validated.
Original NVD description (English source)
Rob--W cors-anywhere instances configured as an open proxy allow unauthenticated external users to induce the server to make HTTP requests to arbitrary targets (SSRF). Because the proxy forwards requests and headers, an attacker can reach internal-only endpoints and link-local metadata services, retrieve instance role credentials or other sensitive metadata, and interact with internal APIs and services that are not intended to be internet-facing. The vulnerability is exploitable by sending crafted requests to the proxy with the target resource encoded in the URL; many cors-anywhere deployments forward arbitrary methods and headers (including PUT), which can permit exploitation of IMDSv2 workflows as well as access to internal management APIs. Successful exploitation can result in theft of cloud credentials, unauthorized access to internal services, remote code execution or privilege escalation (depending on reachable backends), data exfiltration, and full compromise of cloud resources. Mitigation includes: restricting the proxy to trusted origins or authentication, whitelisting allowed target hosts, preventing access to link-local and internal IP ranges, removing support for unsafe HTTP methods/headers, enabling cloud provider mitigations, and deploying network-level protections.
