Summary
msgpack_unpacker_expand_buffer in src/unpack.c, reached through the public msgpack_unpacker_reserve_buffer API, computes its new buffer size using an unchecked size_t addition of the requested size and the amount already used. The doubling loop guards its own multiplication against overflow, but the addition in the loop condition is unguarded, so a request near SIZE_MAX wraps: the loop condition is already satisfied, the allocation is performed at the small pre-wrap size, and the function returns true. The caller is told the requested capacity was reserved when it was not, so a subsequent write of the requested length overflows the heap buffer.
Risk Assessment
This can lead to a heap buffer overflow, potentially enabling remote code execution or application crash if an integration passes an attacker-controlled length to the reservation API.
Recommendation
Upgrade msgpack-c to a patched version. Ensure integrations do not pass attacker-controlled lengths to the reservation API without validation.

The SigmaForms Pro – AI Generated Forms plugin for WordPress up to version 1.4.11 is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the delete_submission_files function. Unauthenticated attackers can 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). The malicious path traversal URL is submitted via form upload field and stored in the database, with deletion triggered when an administrator deletes the submission record from the admin panel.

The Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar – Amelia (Premium) plugin for WordPress versions 8.0 - 9.6.2 is vulnerable to privilege escalation due to insufficient validation of the 'type' parameter in the customer update endpoint. This allows customers to set their role to 'manager' and trigger creation of a WordPress user with the wpamelia-manager role when 'externalId' is set to 0. Unauthenticated attackers can escalate to administrator by first elevating to manager, then creating a provider entity linked to an administrator user ID and overwriting that administrator's password.

- CVE-2026-84480Critical
WWBN AVideo fails to validate password recovery token expiration in userRecoverPassSave.json.php, allowing attackers to use expired tokens to reset account passwords indefinitely. Attackers who obtain a recovery token can use it at any time to change the target account's password and gain full account access.
- CVE-2026-84479Critical
WWBN AVideo (current e01e41ecc and earlier) makes three login-time security controls depend solely on the client-supplied User-Agent header. The isAVideoEncoder()/isAVideoMobileApp() checks match HTTP_USER_AGENT against a hardcoded literal ("AVideoEncoder"/"AVideoMobileApp") with no IP check or shared secret. An attacker who submits valid credentials and sets User-Agent: AVideoEncoder bypasses two-factor authentication, skips brute-force captcha escalation, and avoids being recorded in the login/device audit history. No patch is available at the time of publication.
Original NVD description (English source)
msgpack_unpacker_expand_buffer in src/unpack.c, reached through the public msgpack_unpacker_reserve_buffer API, computes its new buffer size using an unchecked size_t addition of the requested size and the amount already used. The doubling loop guards its own multiplication against overflow, but the addition in the loop condition is unguarded, so a request near SIZE_MAX wraps: the loop condition is already satisfied, the allocation is performed at the small pre-wrap size, and the function returns true. The caller is told the requested capacity was reserved when it was not, so a subsequent write of the requested length overflows the heap buffer. The library's own example/lib_buffer_unpack.c demonstrates the reserve-then-write pattern, and its defensive assert comparing capacity against the request is compiled out under NDEBUG. msgpack-c's own decode entry points do not derive the reservation size from untrusted input, so reaching this requires an integration that passes an attacker-influenced length to the reservation API, such as a length-prefixed streaming transport.
