Summary
An OS command injection issue in the log4j-cve-2021-44228-hotpatch package in Amazon Linux before 1.3-9 might allow a local user to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges via a Java process whose executable path contains embedded newline characters.
Risk Assessment
The organization is exposed to privilege escalation to root by a local user, potentially leading to full system compromise, confidentiality and integrity breaches. The vulnerability affects a package used to mitigate CVE-2021-44228, increasing risk in Java environments.
Recommendation
Update the log4j-cve-2021-44228-hotpatch package to version 1.3-9 or later. Until patched, restrict local access and monitor Java processes for unusual paths.

- CVE-2026-63377Critical
In TAKO AI Agent for Okta prior to 3.0.1-beta, the POST /api/auth/setup endpoint allows an unauthenticated network attacker to create the first administrator account before the legitimate owner completes initial setup. The initial_setup function checks only the is_setup flag and requires no authentication, bootstrap token, or network restriction, and the default configuration listens on 0.0.0.0:8001.
- CVE-2026-62863Critical
MoLing in SSE mode (started with -l) does not authenticate requests to the /sse and /message endpoints, and the mcp-go dependency sets Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *. A malicious web page can open a cross-origin EventSource to /sse, read the sessionId, and send unauthorized MCP tool calls via /message, potentially leading to file read/write or command execution. The issue is fixed in version 0.5.0.
- CVE-2026-62853Critical
In ThingLinks before 1.4.0, the /groovyScriptTest/registerScript endpoint accepts user-supplied Groovy script content and passes it to an unsandboxed compilation and loading flow. An authenticated attacker can supply code that is compiled and executed on the server, leading to remote server-side code execution. The issue affects the rule engine's Groovy script test/register flow and is fixed in version 1.4.0.
- CVE-2026-62849Critical
In ThingLinks before 1.4.0, an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability exists in the TDengine TDS APIs. JSON field values submitted to /anyUser/tds/insertTableData reach unsafe SQL construction in the TDS mapper, allowing a remote unauthenticated attacker to tamper with TDengine time-series data, including inserting unintended rows or overwriting existing readings. The issue is fixed in version 1.4.0.
- CVE-2026-117666Critical
The ssl_verify_fun library (deadtrickster) improperly validates certificates with host mismatch because try_match_wildcard/4 in src/ssl_verify_hostname.erl anchors only the text before and after the * in an identifier such as f*.example.net. This causes the wildcard to also consume dots, so the certificate is accepted for f.evil.example.net, and *.168.1.1 matches the IP literal 192.168.1.1. The issue affects versions from 1.0.1 before 1.1.8.
- CVE-2026-78403Critical
Stack-based buffer overflow and missing authorization in Thales Sentinel Keys Server on Windows. The server does not check the length of the first field in an HTTP request, allowing an attacker to send a crafted request and potentially achieve remote code execution as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.
- CVE-2026-61850Critical
Kargo versions from 0.6.0 until 1.8.14, 1.9.9, and 1.10.8 contain two authorization flaws in the project-scoped RBAC API. An authenticated user with delegated permission to manage a Project's Roles or ServiceAccounts can confer permissions exceeding their own, enabling escalation to Project-administrator access.
- CVE-2026-61620Critical
HoneySQL turns Clojure data structures into SQL. From 2.0.0 until 2.7.1392, applications passing user input into the DSL via keyword or symbol can produce SQL strings vulnerable to SQL injection because some formatters do not apply the suspicious-character check to entity names.
- CVE-2026-55598Critical
PinePods before 0.9.0 allows an authenticated user to subscribe to an attacker-controlled RSS feed whose enclosure URL is stored without host/IP validation. The server performs GET/HEAD requests to internal services, enabling service enumeration, data disclosure, and cloud metadata credential theft.
- CVE-2026-116241Critical
pgAdmin 4 before 9.19 contains a bypass of the CVE-2026-17566 fix in the Import/Export Data tool. Improper validation of a backslash inside a double-quoted identifier hides a closing parenthesis and executes a TO PROGRAM clause via psql on the pgAdmin host with the OS account privileges.
