CVE-2026-20293
HighCVSS 7.1Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk8th percentile - higher than 8% of all known CVEs
Summary
A vulnerability in the UEFI Shell implementation of Cisco UCS Servers could allow an authenticated attacker with user/admin role or an unauthenticated attacker with physical access to bypass UEFI Secure Boot and execute unauthorized software. This is due to memory write commands available in the UEFI Shell while Secure Boot is enabled, allowing manipulation of preboot environment and execution of unauthorized code.
Risk Assessment
An attacker with physical access or a user account could take control of the boot process, potentially installing malware and compromising system integrity.
Recommendation
Apply Cisco UCS updates and restrict physical access to devices and user account access.

In Teltonika Networks RUTOS devices (versions 7.22 through 7.24.2) and TSWOS devices (versions 1.9 through 1.10), an unauthenticated user can directly call LUA functions, bypassing validations that would normally apply to API requests. Because these requests do not follow proper flows, this can lead to OS command execution.

The Gravity Forms plugin for WordPress in versions up to and including 3.1.2 is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection via a Post Custom Field of List input type. The submitted value is passed to WordPress' unrestricted global maybe_unserialize() instead of the hardened GFCommon::maybe_unserialize(), allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject a PHP object into post meta. If a gadget chain exists via another plugin or theme, this could lead to remote code execution.

In SOCFortress CoPilot prior to 0.1.76, case-report templates uploaded by the lowest-privilege customer_user role are later executed by non-sandboxed Jinja2 engines when an admin or analyst generates a report. Lack of template content validation and cross-tenant scoping allows an attacker to inject malicious Jinja expressions that are evaluated as Python on the backend.

- CVE-2026-118769Critical
In the Botan C++ cryptography library, the C API function botan_block_cipher_block_size converted a size_t block size to int without a bounds check. In an application that accepts external algorithm parameter strings and uses FFI raw ECB mode, an attacker can select the variable-block-size Lion cipher, causing the reported size to be truncated, insufficient memory allocation, and later memory corruption. The issue is fixed in version 3.13.0.
- CVE-2026-118762Critical
In the Monkeytype repository, the .github/workflows/fix-formatting.yml workflow runs on pull_request_target with repository write permissions, checks out a fork pull request, installs dependencies from the fork's package.json, and invokes the fork-controlled oxfmt binary. Because actions/checkout persists the elevated GITHUB_TOKEN in Git configuration until after untrusted code executes, an external contributor can run arbitrary code, read or exfiltrate the token, and push repository content or modify pull requests and issues. The issue affects the repository CI workflow, not the Monkeytype application or user data, and is fixed in version 26.43.0.
Original NVD description (English source)
A vulnerability in the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Shell implementation of Cisco UCS Servers and UCS-based appliances could allow an authenticated attacker with valid credentials for a user account with the role of user or admin or an unauthenticated attacker with physical access to an affected device to bypass UEFI Secure Boot validation checks and execute unauthorized software. This vulnerability is due to the availability of memory write commands in the UEFI Shell while UEFI Secure Boot is enabled on a device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by selecting the UEFI Shell boot option at boot time and using available shell commands to modify UEFI memory variables. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to manipulate the preboot environment, overwrite UEFI Secure Boot-related memory values, and execute unauthorized software on the affected device.
