CVE-2026-11565
HighCVSS 8.5Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk24th percentile - higher than 24% of all known CVEs
Summary
The Advanced File Manager WordPress plugin before 5.4.13 does not perform capability checks in several of its file management AJAX actions, allowing users with any role to which an administrator has granted file-manager access (as low as Subscriber) to read arbitrary files on the server — including sensitive configuration files — and to overwrite existing non-PHP files, which can be leveraged to compromise administrator accounts and the whole site.
Risk Assessment
An attacker with low privileges can access sensitive files such as configuration and overwrite files, potentially leading to full site compromise and administrator account takeover.
Recommendation
Update the plugin to version 5.4.13 or later, which includes fixes for capability checks, and review assigned roles and file manager access permissions.

- CVE-2026-116606Critical
An authentication bypass in Barracuda Email Security Gateway versions earlier than 9.4.0.030 allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to invoke a configuration-import function and restore a crafted, compatible backup archive, resulting in unauthorized modification of the appliance's global configuration.
- CVE-2026-120213Critical
@fastify/http-proxy versions 9.0.0 through 11.6.5 substitute URL-decoded route parameters into rewritePrefix without re-encoding them. A parameter value encoding a path separator with a fragment or query delimiter decodes into real separators, injecting extra upstream path segments and stripping the mandatory suffix. An unauthenticated remote attacker can reach upstream locations outside the intended prefix, leading to path-restriction bypass and, depending on the upstream, SSRF or authorization bypass.
