CVE-2026-110636
CriticalCVSS 9.8Summary
pypdftk through 0.5 contains an OS command injection vulnerability in fill_form(), dump_data_fields(), and pdftk_cmd_util() that build shell commands from caller-supplied paths. Attackers controlling pdf_path or out_file can inject shell metacharacters interpreted by subprocess.Popen with shell=True, executing OS commands as the Python process.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can execute arbitrary commands in the context of the Python application, potentially leading to server compromise, data theft, or further privilege escalation.
Recommendation
Update pypdftk to a version later than 0.5 or validate and sanitize pdf_path and out_file parameters before passing them to the functions.

KEDA is a Kubernetes-based Event Driven Autoscaling component. In version 2.20.2 and earlier, a namespace administrator who can create TriggerAuthentication and ScaledObject resources can set hashiCorpVault.address to a tenant-controlled endpoint and select Kubernetes authentication without an explicit credential. KEDA then uses the operator pod's projected ServiceAccount token and sends it to that endpoint as a Vault login credential; the JWT-shape filter from the prior CVE-2025-68476 remediation accepts the operator token because its subject is a Kubernetes ServiceAccount, allowing the attacker to obtain the operator's cluster-wide permissions, including broad Secret reads and workload or admission-related operations.

A vulnerability in the Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) feature of Cisco Secure Email Gateway could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to write arbitrary files on the underlying operating system. It is due to improper handling of email attachments when the file reputation service is enabled; an attacker could send an email with a crafted attachment through an affected device, potentially allowing arbitrary file writes and command execution with root privileges.

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the srxpfe process of Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX Series allows an unauthenticated network attacker to execute code as root or cause a denial of service via a crafted packet received on a configured GRE tunnel.
- CVE-2026-33789Critical
A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the routing protocol daemon (rpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated BGP peer to cause a denial of service and potential root-level command execution via crafted BGP route updates when the BGP Monitoring Protocol (BMP) is enabled.
- CVE-2026-109439Critical
A missing authentication vulnerability in Lantronix XPress-DR and XPress-DR-I (CoBos-family) firmware through 8.1.0.0 allows remote attackers to read and persistently overwrite device configuration by sending crafted frames to the unauthenticated UDP configuration protocol on port 30718. Attackers can send a type 0xF8 query to read live configuration data and a type 0xFD frame with exactly 0x78 body bytes to rewrite the device IP address and serial-channel forwarding records, causing changes to commit to EEPROM and persist across reboots. The XPress-DR product series reached end-of-life/end-of-support in February 2025.
