Summary
A flaw was found in the maas-api and maas-controller ServiceAccounts within Red Hat OpenShift AI. These ServiceAccounts are granted cluster-wide permissions that exceed their operational requirements. An attacker who compromises the identity of these ServiceAccounts, either through a remote code execution vulnerability or by creating a malicious pod in the same namespace, could exploit these excessive permissions. This could lead to full cluster administrator privileges through the creation of new ClusterRoleBindings or the disclosure of sensitive information by accessing all secrets across the cluster.
Risk Assessment
Compromise of these service accounts could lead to full control of the OpenShift AI cluster, including access to all secrets and privilege escalation.
Recommendation
Restrict the permissions of maas-api and maas-controller service accounts to the minimum required and regularly audit permissions.

The s2Member plugin for WordPress in versions up to and including 260927 is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution via the 'item_name' parameter. Insufficient sanitization in strip_php_tags_deep() only strips literal '<?' sequences, and a post-interpolation placeholder cleanup reassembles a valid '<?php' opener after the attacker-controlled value has already been embedded in the email template.
- CVE-2026-97718Critical
CVE-2026-97718 is a cross-site request forgery vulnerability in version 14.60 of the Secure Access server. Because of a bypassed security control, an attacker can cause an admin to create an account under their control.
- CVE-2026-116769Critical
CVE-2026-116769 is an authentication bypass vulnerability in Secure Access servers starting with version 13.0 and prior to 14.61. Attackers can modify security settings of a client via the server.
- CVE-2026-102435Critical
The Ultra Addons for Contact Form 7 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the _getObjAttr function in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.54. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php). This requires the PDF Generator add-on to be active and a Contact Form 7 form to be configured for PDF generation.
- CVE-2026-105606Critical
The Joomla Custom Tables extension before 3.7.8 allows an unauthenticated attacker to upload a polyglot file with an attacker-controlled extension to the web-accessible tmp directory. The stored path is disclosed in the response, and the file is served as static content by default.
