CVE-2026-117666
CriticalCVSS 9.1Summary
The ssl_verify_fun library (deadtrickster) improperly validates certificates with host mismatch because try_match_wildcard/4 in src/ssl_verify_hostname.erl anchors only the text before and after the * in an identifier such as f*.example.net. This causes the wildcard to also consume dots, so the certificate is accepted for f.evil.example.net, and *.168.1.1 matches the IP literal 192.168.1.1. The issue affects versions from 1.0.1 before 1.1.8.
Risk Assessment
A man-in-the-middle attacker can impersonate a TLS peer using a certificate with a partial-label wildcard, potentially intercepting credentials and traffic. Exposed are clients that disable SNI, servers that verify client certificate hostnames, and direct callers of verify_cert_hostname/2.
Recommendation
Update ssl_verify_fun to version 1.1.8 or later. Check whether applications disable SNI or rely on this library for hostname verification.

- CVE-2026-62863Critical
MoLing in SSE mode (started with -l) does not authenticate requests to the /sse and /message endpoints, and the mcp-go dependency sets Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *. A malicious web page can open a cross-origin EventSource to /sse, read the sessionId, and send unauthorized MCP tool calls via /message, potentially leading to file read/write or command execution. The issue is fixed in version 0.5.0.
- CVE-2026-62853Critical
In ThingLinks before 1.4.0, the /groovyScriptTest/registerScript endpoint accepts user-supplied Groovy script content and passes it to an unsandboxed compilation and loading flow. An authenticated attacker can supply code that is compiled and executed on the server, leading to remote server-side code execution. The issue affects the rule engine's Groovy script test/register flow and is fixed in version 1.4.0.
- CVE-2026-62849Critical
In ThingLinks before 1.4.0, an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability exists in the TDengine TDS APIs. JSON field values submitted to /anyUser/tds/insertTableData reach unsafe SQL construction in the TDS mapper, allowing a remote unauthenticated attacker to tamper with TDengine time-series data, including inserting unintended rows or overwriting existing readings. The issue is fixed in version 1.4.0.
- CVE-2026-78403Critical
Stack-based buffer overflow and missing authorization in Thales Sentinel Keys Server on Windows. The server does not check the length of the first field in an HTTP request, allowing an attacker to send a crafted request and potentially achieve remote code execution as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.
- CVE-2026-61850Critical
Kargo versions from 0.6.0 until 1.8.14, 1.9.9, and 1.10.8 contain two authorization flaws in the project-scoped RBAC API. An authenticated user with delegated permission to manage a Project's Roles or ServiceAccounts can confer permissions exceeding their own, enabling escalation to Project-administrator access.
- CVE-2026-61620Critical
HoneySQL turns Clojure data structures into SQL. From 2.0.0 until 2.7.1392, applications passing user input into the DSL via keyword or symbol can produce SQL strings vulnerable to SQL injection because some formatters do not apply the suspicious-character check to entity names.
- CVE-2026-55598Critical
PinePods before 0.9.0 allows an authenticated user to subscribe to an attacker-controlled RSS feed whose enclosure URL is stored without host/IP validation. The server performs GET/HEAD requests to internal services, enabling service enumeration, data disclosure, and cloud metadata credential theft.
- CVE-2026-116241Critical
pgAdmin 4 before 9.19 contains a bypass of the CVE-2026-17566 fix in the Import/Export Data tool. Improper validation of a backslash inside a double-quoted identifier hides a closing parenthesis and executes a TO PROGRAM clause via psql on the pgAdmin host with the OS account privileges.

Original NVD description (English source)
Improper Validation of Certificate with Host Mismatch vulnerability in deadtrickster ssl_verify_fun allows an adversary in the middle to impersonate a TLS peer via a certificate that carries a partial-label wildcard. try_match_wildcard/4 in src/ssl_verify_hostname.erl anchors only the text before and after the * of an identifier such as f*.example.net, so the wildcard also consumes dots and the certificate is accepted for f.evil.example.net. RFC 6125 confines a wildcard to the left-most label. The same matcher lets *.168.1.1 match the IP literal 192.168.1.1. Whole-label wildcards are matched correctly. Erlang/OTP 20.0 and later check the hostname in ssl before a user verify_fun sees valid_peer, so a client that keeps server_name_indication set rejects the mismatch regardless. Exposed are clients that disable SNI, servers that verify client certificate hostnames with this library, and direct callers of verify_cert_hostname/2. This issue affects ssl_verify_fun: from 1.0.1 before 1.1.8.
