Summary
The Simple CSV Table plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.1 via the `href` parameter in the `[csv]` shortcode. This is due to insufficient path validation before concatenating user-supplied input to a base directory path. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access and above to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information such as database credentials and authentication keys.
Risk Assessment
An attacker with Contributor-level access can read sensitive files such as database configuration or keys, potentially leading to further attacks and full site compromise. The risk is high for sites running the vulnerable plugin version.
Recommendation
Update the Simple CSV Table plugin to a version later than 1.0.1. Limit user privileges and check for unauthorized file access.

- CVE-2026-7826Critical
A vulnerability in FalkorDB before 4.18.4 causes a heap-based out-of-bounds read in the BufferSerializerIOv2_ReadBuffer function. A remote attacker who can issue Redis replication commands (e.g., against an instance with no password) can send a crafted RDB stream with a sub-buffer length field exceeding the remaining buffer size. The only bounds check is an ASSERT(), which is compiled out in release builds, so memcpy() reads past the end of the heap allocation.
- CVE-2026-5759Critical
A double free and use-after-free vulnerability in the RdbLoadDeletedNodes function of the RDB graph decoders in FalkorDB before 4.18.1. A remote attacker who can issue Redis replication commands can send a crafted RDB stream where the deleted-nodes buffer length is not a multiple of sizeof(NodeID). The length check relies on ASSERT(), which is compiled out in release builds, so the function continues after freeing the buffer, reading it and freeing it a second time.
