CVE-2026-54429
HighCVSS 7.4Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk12th percentile - higher than 12% of all known CVEs
Summary
A vulnerability in SIMATIC S7-PLCSIM Advanced (all versions) involves improper handling of high-volume multicast traffic, leading to memory exhaustion. An unauthenticated attacker on the local network segment can cause a denial-of-service (DoS) condition, making the application inaccessible until a manual restart. The attack requires a specific project configuration to be active on the target instance.
Risk Assessment
The risk is temporary unavailability of the simulation application, which can disrupt engineering and testing processes. Although no project data is lost, the need for manual restart extends downtime.
Recommendation
It is recommended to restrict multicast traffic in the local network segment and use firewalls or VLANs to isolate the application. Also monitor for vendor updates.

Under specific conditions, an attacker can register an attacker-controlled FIDO2 credential against a target account and then authenticate as that user. This issue affects on-premises deployments only.

In Submariner's cert-auth mode, connection configuration is built from unvalidated free-form strings from the CRD. A malicious cluster can publish a CableName with newlines and ipsec.conf directives, allowing injection of arbitrary configuration or command execution via leftupdown hooks, leading to remote code execution as root on the gateway node.

In the PREVAIL eBPF verifier before version 0.2.4, the abstract transformer treats writes through a T_CTX-typed base register as a silent no-op. An attacker can craft an eBPF program that overwrites a context field, reloads it as T_PACKET, and dereferences an attacker-controlled address, and PREVAIL will report the program as safe.
- CVE-2026-53670Critical
In the PREVAIL eBPF verifier before version 0.2.4, EbpfTransformer::add() silently skips offset-variable updates when the destination register carries a non-singleton typeset. Subsequent bounds checks use the stale offset and accept out-of-bounds memory accesses, so a crafted BPF program passes verification even though it would corrupt memory at runtime.

Joro before version 1.1.1 in default proxy mode exposes a local API on 127.0.0.1:9090 with no authentication and wildcard CORS. A malicious website can reach privileged endpoints, including uploading a native plugin and triggering a restart, leading to unauthenticated remote code execution as the operator's user.

A vulnerability in the Silicon One integration for Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute code with root privileges. TCP ports 43210 and 43211 are accessible in the default L3 VRF, and crafted input can lead to code execution or crash of the S1HAL process causing device reload.

- CVE-2026-82955Critical
In the current development version of Eclipse aeriOS, the KrakenD instance in the API Gateway had disable_jwk_security hard-coded to true, disabling TLS certificate verification when retrieving JWKS. This could allow an attacker to intercept communication and provide a malicious JWKS, compromising token validation. The issue has been fixed by making the parameter configurable and defaulting to false.
Original NVD description (English source)
A vulnerability has been identified in SIMATIC S7-PLCSIM Advanced (All versions). Affected devices do not properly handle high-volume multicast network traffic, which can exhaust available memory resources in the affected application. This could allow an unauthenticated attacker on the local network segment to cause a denial-of-service condition of the affected application. The affected application becomes inaccessible and requires a manual restart; no project data is lost. Successful exploitation requires a specific project configuration to be already active on the targeted instance.
