CVE-2022-20866
HighCVSS 7.4Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Very high risk97th percentile - higher than 97% of all known CVEs
Summary
A vulnerability in RSA key handling on devices running Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to retrieve an RSA private key. The issue is due to a logic error when the RSA key is stored in memory on hardware platforms performing hardware-based cryptography. The exploit uses a Lenstra side-channel attack and affects approximately 5 percent of RSA keys on vulnerable devices.
Risk Assessment
The risk is the potential theft of the RSA private key, allowing an attacker to impersonate the Cisco device or decrypt network traffic. This could lead to confidentiality and integrity breaches in the organization's communications.
Recommendation
It is recommended to immediately update Cisco ASA and FTD software to a patched version. Also, check whether the RSA keys in use are vulnerable and regenerate them if necessary.

The Joomla AcyMailing Enterprise extension in versions below 11.1.0 contains a remote code execution vulnerability in the mailbox action feature. MIME parts of incoming emails were saved to media/com_acym/upload/ with no extension check, so anyone who could email the monitored mailbox could write a PHP file into the web root.

- CVE-2026-100717Critical
Froxlor in versions 2.3.10 and earlier contains an incomplete fix for GHSA-c3p2 — Validate::validateUrl rejects CR/LF characters only in the path, query, and fragment components and never inspects the userinfo (user:pass@) components. An authenticated low-privilege customer with subdomain-create rights can supply a subdomain redirect URL carrying a CR/LF payload in the userinfo portion, which passes validation and is written verbatim into the generated nginx or Apache vhost configuration. Froxlor regenerates and reloads the web-server configuration as root, so injected directives take effect server-wide.
- CVE-2026-100716Critical
Froxlor in versions 2.3.10 and earlier contains an incomplete fix for GHSA-75h4-... — the customer data-export (DataDump) cron fails to validate intermediate path components of the export destination. Froxlor\FileDir::makeCorrectDir() contains an off-by-one in its path-component walk that skips the first segment below the customer home directory, and the guard in ExportCron.php checks only the final component with is_link(). An authenticated customer with the export feature enabled can schedule an export into a genuine subdirectory of their own webspace, then replace an intermediate path component with a symlink before the root-owned cron runs. The cron's 'chown -R' then recursively changes ownership of the linked directory tree (e.g. /etc) to the customer's UID, yielding host root and cross-tenant compromise.
- CVE-2026-100715Critical
Froxlor through 2.3.10 is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion via symlink following in the FTP data deletion cron task. Cron task 8 (deleteFtpData), queued when an FTP account is deleted, calls FileDir::makeCorrectDir() without the $fixed_homedir argument, so the symlink component walk is skipped, and then executes 'rm -rf' as root on the resulting path with string-level guards only. Because makeCorrectDir() appends a trailing slash, GNU rm dereferences a symlink used either as an intermediate or final path component. An authenticated customer who can write to the FTP home directory can plant a symlink between task insertion and cron execution, causing the root cron job to recursively delete arbitrary directory trees.
- CVE-2026-100714Critical
Froxlor before 2.3.12 does not restrict or escape the system.letsencryptchallengepath setting — unlike sibling settings hardened in GHSA-33mp, the field has no string_regexp or required_otp guard, and its value is concatenated unescaped into the acme.sh command line built in lib/Froxlor/Cron/Http/LetsEncrypt/AcmeSh.php and executed by the root cron via FileDir::safe_exec. Because safe_exec only blacklists shell metacharacters such as ; | & > < \ $ ~ ?, spaces and quotes survive and the value is word-split into additional acme.sh arguments. An administrator, or any actor able to write settings (e.g. through the settings-import API), can inject acme.sh options such as --renew-hook, --pre-hook or --post-hook to obtain arbitrary command execution as root at the next Let's Encrypt cron run, or use --config-home/--cert-home for arbitrary file writes.
- CVE-2026-100706Critical
Kyverno before 1.19.1 fails to properly validate URL-encoded path segments in Policy apiCall urlPath, allowing namespace tenants to bypass the per-namespace clamp and create objects in other namespaces as the admission-controller ServiceAccount. Attackers can exploit this by using percent-encoded directory traversal sequences to create MutatingWebhookConfiguration objects cluster-wide or PolicyException objects in the kyverno namespace, enabling privilege escalation to cluster admin.
Original NVD description (English source)
A vulnerability in the handling of RSA keys on devices running Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to retrieve an RSA private key. This vulnerability is due to a logic error when the RSA key is stored in memory on a hardware platform that performs hardware-based cryptography. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by using a Lenstra side-channel attack against the targeted device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to retrieve the RSA private key. The following conditions may be observed on an affected device: This vulnerability will apply to approximately 5 percent of the RSA keys on a device that is running a vulnerable release of Cisco ASA Software or Cisco FTD Software; not all RSA keys are expected to be affected due to mathematical calculations applied to the RSA key. The RSA key could be valid but have specific characteristics that make it vulnerable to the potential leak of the RSA private key. If an attacker obtains the RSA private key, they could use the key to impersonate a device that is running Cisco ASA Software or Cisco FTD Software or to decrypt the device traffic. See the Indicators of Compromise section for more information on the detection of this type of RSA key. The RSA key could be malformed and invalid. A malformed RSA key is not functional, and a TLS client connection to a device that is running Cisco ASA Software or Cisco FTD Software that uses the malformed RSA key will result in a TLS signature failure, which means a vulnerable software release created an invalid RSA signature that failed verification. If an attacker obtains the RSA private key, they could use the key to impersonate a device that is running Cisco ASA Software or Cisco FTD Software or to decrypt the device traffic.
