Summary
An integer underflow vulnerability was found in the berval2tl_data() function in MIT krb5, which can lead to out-of-bounds memory reads. The issue occurs when the buffer length (bv_len) is 0 or 1, causing incorrect calculations and reading up to 65534 bytes from a 0-1 byte buffer.
Risk Assessment
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to access memory outside the allocated area, potentially leading to the disclosure of sensitive data or system instability. The risk is heightened in the case of a malicious or compromised LDAP KDB backend.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update to the latest version of MIT krb5 that addresses this vulnerability. Additionally, an audit of the LDAP KDB backend configuration should be conducted to minimize the risk of attack.

- CVE-2026-109758Critical
Perforce Helix Authentication Service (HAS) versions 2022.1-2025.2 retain a default SCIM bearer token that is not automatically replaced with a random value during installation. An attacker knowing this token can gain unauthorized access to the SCIM API and perform user and group operations. This issue can be chained with CVE-2026-61834, potentially leading to remote code execution.

GitLab CE/EE versions from 19.2 to 19.2.8, 19.3 to 19.3.5, and 19.4 to 19.4.2 contain a vulnerability that, under certain conditions, could allow an unauthenticated user to execute arbitrary code on the GitLab server. The issue stems from insufficient validation of regular expressions in CI/CD configuration.

SAP Cloud SDK for Python contains an OAuth2 SSRF vulnerability affecting multi-tenant BTP applications. An attacker controlling the tenant_subdomain parameter can redirect OAuth2 token requests to an attacker-controlled server, leading to client credential exfiltration.
- CVE-2026-89110Critical
SAP NetWeaver Visual Composer does not perform sufficient authorization checks in certain portal functionality. An attacker with low privileges could invoke internal operations on a preconfigured remote system, which depending on the remote connection configuration could lead to full compromise of the remote system.
- CVE-2026-89108Critical
SAP Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence does not sufficiently enforce authorization boundaries within certain administrative functionality. An attacker with MII administrator privileges could submit a specially crafted request to provision an account with elevated privileges on the underlying Java application server. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to gain administrative control over the system.
- CVE-2026-89107Critical
SAP S/4HANA (Manage Substitution/Validation Rules) does not sufficiently validate input processed by rule definition functionality that utilizes a domain-specific scripting language. An authenticated attacker with specific business privileges could submit specially crafted input, which is interpreted as executable ABAP code. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary ABAP code in the system.
- CVE-2026-87689Critical
Metasploit Framework Web Service REST API (msf-ws) exposes the credential store through Msf::WebServices::CredentialServlet. The update (PUT) and delete (DELETE) handlers for /api/v1/credentials omit the authentication call, unlike other routes. Any client able to reach the web service on its default 0.0.0.0:8080 listener can read, modify, or permanently delete every stored credential without authentication. All published versions through 6.5.4 are affected; fixed in 6.5.5 by adding authentication.
- CVE-2026-96119Critical
IBM i versions 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information or execute arbitrary code on the system due to improper data sanitization by the HTTP Server Administration web application.
- CVE-2026-82110Critical
IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability due to improper validation of pathnames. A remote authenticated attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code.

Original NVD description (English source)
An integer underflow vulnerability was found in MIT krb5 in the berval2tl_data() function in plugins/kdb/ldap/libkdb_ldap/ldap_principal2.c. The function performs an unsigned subtraction (bv_len - 2) without a prior bounds check. When bv_len is 0 or 1, the subtraction wraps to a large value which is then truncated to uint16_t, yielding 0xFFFE (65534) or 0xFFFF (65535). The subsequent malloc succeeds and memcpy reads up to 65534 bytes from a 0-1 byte buffer, resulting in a heap out-of-bounds read. The attack vector involves a malicious or compromised LDAP KDB backend returning a krbExtraData attribute with bv_len < 2, triggering the underflow when the KDC or kadmind reads principal data.
