Summary
In SES versions 0.18.0 to 0.18.7, 0.17.0 to 0.17.1, 0.16.0 to 0.16.1, 0.15.0 to 0.15.24, 0.14.0 to 0.14.5, and 0.13.0 to 0.13.5, there is a vulnerability in the confinement of guest applications that may lead to information exfiltration or arbitrary code execution. This vulnerability can be exploited by programs running in Compartments that gain access to the host's dynamic import.
Risk Assessment
Organizations may be exposed to data leaks or unauthorized code execution, potentially leading to serious security breaches. Without proper safeguards, attackers can exploit this vulnerability to carry out attacks on systems.
Recommendation
It is recommended to upgrade to versions 0.18.7, 0.17.1, 0.16.1, 0.15.24, 0.14.5, or 0.13.5, which contain patches. Additionally, for web applications, implementing a suitable Content-Security-Policy is advised to minimize risk.

Vulnerability in the JSSE component of Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, and Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. It is easily exploitable by an unauthenticated attacker with network access, leading to unauthorized creation, deletion, or modification of critical data as well as unauthorized access to critical data. The vulnerability also applies to Java deployments that load and run untrusted code in a sandbox (e.g., Java Web Start applications or applets).

Postiz signs its session, invitation and password reset tokens with one shared secret and without any marker of what a token is for. A route that refreshes the credentials of a browser-extension channel signed data taken from the request itself and stored the result where the requesting user can read it back, allowing a user to obtain a validly signed token containing any claims they choose, accepted as a session, an organization invitation with a chosen role, a password reset or an enterprise provisioning token.

- CVE-2026-115932Critical
In Postiz, a media path that is not a web address is treated as a file on the server's disk without verifying it lies inside the upload directory. A registered user can store a crafted media path with a post and cause the publishing worker to read an arbitrary file and send it as an attachment to a Discord server the user controls. The same unconfined reads are reachable through two further routes, including file existence checks and backend memory exhaustion; self-registration is open by default.

The Prime Mover – Backup and Migration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.1 via deserialization of untrusted input in the migration search-and-replace routine. An unauthenticated attacker can store a crafted, base64-encoded serialized object in wp_comments.comment_content through the standard comment-submission endpoint. When an administrator performs a routine export or restore, the plugin base64-decodes that stored value and passes it to unserialize() with no allowed_classes restriction. A Property-Oriented Programming (POP) chain is present in the plugin's own bundled Freemius library, so no additional plugin or theme is required.
Original NVD description (English source)
SES is a JavaScript environment that allows safe execution of arbitrary programs in Compartments. In version 0.18.0 prior to 0.18.7, 0.17.0 prior to 0.17.1, 0.16.0 prior to 0.16.1, 0.15.0 prior to 0.15.24, 0.14.0 prior to 0.14.5, an 0.13.0 prior to 0.13.5, there is a hole in the confinement of guest applications under SES that may manifest as either the ability to exfiltrate information or execute arbitrary code depending on the configuration and implementation of the surrounding host. Guest program running inside a Compartment with as few as no endowments can gain access to the surrounding host’s dynamic import by using dynamic import after the spread operator, like `{...import(arbitraryModuleSpecifier)}`. On the web or in web extensions, a Content-Security-Policy following ordinary best practices likely mitigates both the risk of exfiltration and execution of arbitrary code, at least limiting the modules that the attacker can import to those that are already part of the application. However, without a Content-Security-Policy, dynamic import can be used to issue HTTP requests for either communication through the URL or for the execution of code reachable from that origin. Within an XS worker, an attacker can use the host’s module system to the extent that the host has been configured. This typically only allows access to module code on the host’s file system and is of limited use to an attacker. Within Node.js, the attacker gains access to Node.js’s module system. Importing the powerful builtins is not useful except insofar as there are side-effects and tempered because dynamic import returns a promise. Spreading a promise into an object renders the promises useless. However, Node.js allows importing data URLs, so this is a clear path to arbitrary execution. Versions 0.18.7, 0.17.1, 0.16.1, 0.15.24, 0.14.5, and 0.13.5 contain a patch for this issue. Some workarounds are available. On the web, providing a suitably constrained Content-Security-Policy mitigates most of the threat. With XS, building a binary that lacks the ability to load modules at runtime mitigates the entirety of the threat. That will look like an implementation of `fxFindModule` in a file like `xsPlatform.c` that calls `fxRejectModuleFile`.
