CVE-2026-53752
HighCVSS 7.5Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk48th percentile - higher than 48% of all known CVEs
Summary
In docx4j before 11.5.14, PropertyResolver and adjacent helpers recursively follow the WordprocessingML w:basedOn style inheritance chain without cycle detection. A well-formed DOCX containing mutually based styles causes unbounded recursion in PropertyResolver.fillPPrStack and related effective-style resolution paths, resulting in StackOverflowError.
Risk Assessment
Server-side conversion and table-of-contents processing of an untrusted document can terminate a worker thread, degrade a thread pool, or deny service. Isolation in disposable workers or safe containment of StackOverflowError can reduce the practical effect.
Recommendation
Update docx4j to version 11.5.14 (or later). Consider isolating document processing in disposable workers.

Improper Control of Generation of Code in the Pigeon MFA service in EagleCloud Aquila versions through 2.6.7.2 on on-premises platforms allows authenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via code injection.

The Pie Register Premium plugin for WordPress up to and including 3.8.4.0 is vulnerable to unrestricted file type upload via the piereg_file_upload function. File type validation errors are not checked before move_uploaded_file(), and the AJAX handler lacks nonce and capability checks, allowing unauthenticated attackers to upload PHP files and achieve remote code execution.
- CVE-2026-106013Critical
The Jupiter X Core plugin for WordPress (up to and including 4.61.0) is vulnerable to authentication bypass in its Twitter/X social login handler. The verify_twitter_callback function fails to reassign the returned credentials to the TwitterOAuth client, so the subsequent API call remains signed with the site operator's stored token, and the plugin authenticates a WordPress account based solely on the X app owner's email address.
- CVE-2026-110879Critical
A vulnerability in jackson-databind allows bypassing generic-argument validation: only the outer class of a type ID is checked, while attacker-selected classes inside generic arguments are accepted. This enables deserialization of dangerous classes (e.g., HashMap<FileSystemXmlApplicationContext,String>) even with a validator enabled, potentially leading to remote code execution. Affects versions 2.10.0+ and 3.0.0+; it is an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-54512.
- CVE-2026-58256Critical
In GRR prior to version 4.5.0, an administrator can inject malicious PHP through LDAP connector configuration parameters such as `ldap_filter`, poisoning `/personnalisation/config_ldap.inc.php` and enabling remote code execution. The administrator must first successfully connect to an LDAP server, which can be attacker-controlled, and then submit malicious input on the subsequent connector settings page.
- CVE-2026-116692Critical
In MLflow from 3.12.0rc0 until 3.17.0, third-party scorer deserialization in mlflow/genai/scorers/base.py accepts request-selected descendants of allowed modules rather than requiring an exact allowed module. An attacker can place a Python module under a writable allowed package and invoke it via /ajax-api/3.0/mlflow/scorer/invoke, leading to code execution. Version 3.17.0 fixes the issue.
- CVE-2026-112352Critical
Sunhillo SureLine before 9.1.5 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to impersonate any user with an active web session by forging a session cookie containing only a cleartext username with no random identifier or integrity protection. Attackers can guess default account names such as Admin or sftp_user and submit a forged username cookie to satisfy the login check in checkLogin (libwebcmn.so) and networkDiag.cgi, chaining into root command execution.

Adobe Connect is affected by an Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation requires user interaction, as a victim must visit a maliciously crafted URL or interact with a compromised web page. Scope is changed.

Original NVD description (English source)
docx4j is an open source Java library for creating, editing, and saving OpenXML packages, including DOCX, PPTX, and XLSX files. Prior to 11.5.14, PropertyResolver and adjacent helpers recursively follow the WordprocessingML w:basedOn style inheritance chain without cycle detection. A well-formed DOCX containing mutually based styles causes unbounded recursion in PropertyResolver.fillPPrStack and related effective-style resolution paths, resulting in StackOverflowError. Server-side conversion and table-of-contents processing of an untrusted document can terminate a worker thread, degrade a thread pool, or deny service, although isolation in disposable workers or safe containment of StackOverflowError can reduce the practical effect. The fix adds cyclic-style tracking and CyclicStylesException handling. This issue is fixed in version 11.5.14.
