CVE-2026-85189
HighCVSS 7.5Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk16th percentile - higher than 16% of all known CVEs
Summary
The Modals extension for Joomla (regularlabs.com) below version 17.0.0 treats destinations using executable browser URL schemes as ordinary modal URLs. The value can reach both the generated link and the iframe-loading path, enabling privileged stored XSS without using the separate Pro JavaScript Events feature.
Risk Assessment
An attacker with content authoring privileges can inject JavaScript executed in visitors' browsers, risking session theft or account takeover. The risk affects all Joomla sites running the Modals extension below version 17.0.0.
Recommendation
Update the Modals extension to version 17.0.0 or later. Restrict content authoring privileges to trusted users only.

- CVE-2026-109218Critical
The Contact Manager plugin for WordPress in versions up to and including 9.1.2 is vulnerable to arbitrary file upload via the add_message function. An incomplete extension blacklist allows bypassing validation with a trailing dot, enabling unauthenticated attackers to upload executable files and potentially achieve remote code execution.
- CVE-2026-104383Critical
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.
- CVE-2026-84999Critical
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.
- CVE-2026-48360Critical
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.
- CVE-2026-114595Critical
In EPICS Base release 7.0.10 and prior, an integer overflow in network request processing can cause memory to be allocated with an incorrect size. Subsequent handling of attacker-supplied data may result in memory corruption, denial of service, or potential remote code execution.
Original NVD description (English source)
Joomla Extension - regularlabs.com - Privileged stored XSS via executable URL schemes in Modals extension for Joomla < 17.0.0 - Modals treats a destination using an executable browser URL scheme as an ordinary modal URL. The value can reach both the generated link and the iframe-loading path. Authored content can consequently become JavaScript in a visitor's browser without using Modals' separate Pro JavaScript Events feature.
