HighCVSS 7.8Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Elevated risk69th percentile - higher than 69% of all known CVEs
Summary
In RetroArch 1.9.0 for Windows, the accessibility_speak_windows function in platform_win32.c passes unsanitized input to PowerShell, allowing attackers with write access to filesystems used by RetroArch to execute code via command injection using specially crafted file and directory names.
Risk Assessment
Attackers can remotely execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running RetroArch, potentially leading to system compromise, data theft, or malware installation.
Recommendation
Immediately update RetroArch to version 1.9.1 or later, which includes a fix that removes the command injection vulnerability in the accessibility_speak_windows function.

- CVE-2026-102268Critical
PyJWT is a Python implementation of JSON Web Token standards. Prior to version 2.14.0, is_pem_format in jwt/utils.py does not recognize every PEM representation accepted by the cryptography loader. When an application mixes HMAC and asymmetric algorithms and supplies a mutated public-key PEM as raw key bytes, HMACAlgorithm.prepare_key treats the unrecognized asymmetric public key as an HMAC secret. An attacker who knows the public key can forge authenticated HMAC tokens. This issue is fixed in version 2.14.0.

Original NVD description (English source)
The text-to-speech engine in libretro RetroArch for Windows 1.9.0 passes unsanitized input to PowerShell through platform_win32.c via the accessibility_speak_windows function, which allows attackers who have write access on filesystems that are used by RetroArch to execute code via command injection using specially a crafted file and directory names.
