Low risk21th percentile - higher than 21% of all known CVEs
Summary
In Rocket.Chat before versions 8.5.0, 8.4.1, 8.3.3, 8.2.3, 8.1.4, 8.0.5, 7.13.7, and 7.10.11, the CAS login handler forwards the client-supplied `credentialToken` value directly into a MongoDB `findOne({_id: ...})` query without any runtime type check. An unauthenticated attacker can substitute a NoSQL query operator (e.g., `{"$gt": ""}`) for the expected ticket string, matching the first unexpired document in the `credential_tokens` collection and completely bypassing the CAS ticket check.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can hijack the authentication session of any user currently logging in via CAS or SAML SSO, obtaining a full Meteor auth token (userId + token). If the victim is an administrator, the attacker can install apps via Apps-Engine, leading to full instance compromise.
Recommendation
Immediately upgrade Rocket.Chat to one of the patched versions: 8.5.0, 8.4.1, 8.3.3, 8.2.3, 8.1.4, 8.0.5, 7.13.7, or 7.10.11. If upgrading is not possible, temporarily disable CAS and SAML SSO login.

- CVE-2026-105105Critical
Missing authentication for critical function in the ait-server telemetry and command broker in NASA-AMMOS AIT-Core through 3.1.1. An unauthenticated remote attacker with network access to the ZeroMQ message bus can inject spacecraft command data, exfiltrate command and telemetry traffic, inject forged telemetry, or disrupt the bus. The ZeroMQ broker binds XSUB and XPUB sockets to all interfaces by default without authentication.
- CVE-2026-71885Critical
In Bouncy Castle for Java before 1.86, the Messaging Layer Security (MLS, RFC 9420) implementation did not bind an X.509 credential to a LeafNode's signature_key. LeafNode.verify() checked a leaf's signature against the signature_key carried in the leaf itself, while the credential's X.509 certificate chain was stored but never parsed or validated, so the end-entity certificate's public key was never required to match signature_key as RFC 9420 sec. 5.3 requires. An attacker could present another party's certificate as its credential while signing the leaf, and the enclosing KeyPackage, with an unrelated key, and be accepted under that other party's identity through KeyPackage.verify() and the Group leaf-validation path.
- CVE-2026-92084Critical
The Beaver Builder Page Builder plugin for WordPress up to version 2.11.0.5 is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution. This is due to insufficient validation before running do_shortcode, allowing unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes. Exploitation requires a page with the Sidebar module containing a widget that displays attacker-controlled text, such as the Recent Comments widget with approved comments.
- CVE-2026-87115Critical
The VikAppointments Services Booking Calendar plugin for WordPress up to version 1.2.21 is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the extract function. This allows unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary files on the server, potentially leading to remote code execution (e.g., by deleting wp-config.php). Exploitation requires at least one File-type custom field published on the confirmation page.
- CVE-2026-105080Critical
In ConvertX before 0.19.0, converters/calibre.ts does not block recipe files and passes them to the ebook-convert program from Calibre. This allows executable code in .recipe or .downloaded_recipe files.
- CVE-2026-84411Critical
The web management service in affected RouterOS versions contains an integer underflow in HTTP request body handling that is reachable before authentication. An unauthenticated network attacker can exploit a single crafted request to achieve remote code execution as root or cause a denial of service.
- CVE-2026-95102Critical
WebSocket endpoints lack proper authentication mechanisms, enabling attackers to impersonate charging stations. By exploiting this weakness, attackers can gain unauthorized access to sensitive data or perform unauthorized actions. Since no authentication is required, this can lead to privilege escalation and potentially compromise the security of the entire system.
Original NVD description (English source)
Rocket.Chat is an open-source, secure, fully customizable communications platform. Prior to 8.5.0, 8.4.1, 8.3.3, 8.2.3, 8.1.4, 8.0.5, 7.13.7, and 7.10.11, Rocket.Chat's CAS login handler forwards the client-supplied options.cas.credentialToken value straight into a MongoDB findOne({_id: ...}) query without any runtime type check. TypeScript's string parameter annotation is erased at runtime, so an unauthenticated attacker can substitute a MongoDB query operator ({"$gt": ""}, {"$ne": null}, etc.) for what the server expects to be an opaque ticket string. The injected operator matches the first unexpired document in the credential_tokens collection, bypassing the CAS ticket check entirely. When any legitimate CAS or SAML SSO login is in flight, the attacker's next DDP login call matches the same credential-token row via the NoSQL operator and is issued a full Meteor auth token (userId + token) bound to the victim. The token is immediately usable against the complete REST and DDP surface as that user. If the victim is an administrator, this escalates to full instance compromise via Apps-Engine app install. This vulnerability is fixed in 8.5.0, 8.4.1, 8.3.3, 8.2.3, 8.1.4, 8.0.5, 7.13.7, and 7.10.11.
