Summary
A vulnerability in Authen::SASL::Perl::DIGEST_MD5 for Perl before version 2.2100 allows acceptance of replayed authentication responses due to an unverified nonce in server_step. An attacker who observes a successful qop=auth exchange can replay the captured response in a later session and authenticate as that user without knowing the password.
Risk Assessment
The vulnerability could allow an attacker to hijack user sessions in services using DIGEST-MD5, potentially leading to unauthorized access to accounts and data.
Recommendation
It is recommended to upgrade Authen::SASL to version 2.2100 or later and consider using more secure authentication mechanisms if possible.

The Prime Mover – Backup and Migration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.1 via deserialization of untrusted input in the migration search-and-replace routine. An unauthenticated attacker can store a crafted, base64-encoded serialized object in wp_comments.comment_content through the standard comment-submission endpoint. When an administrator performs a routine export or restore, the plugin base64-decodes that stored value and passes it to unserialize() with no allowed_classes restriction. A Property-Oriented Programming (POP) chain is present in the plugin's own bundled Freemius library, so no additional plugin or theme is required.
- CVE-2026-115931Critical
Postiz lets a signed-in user ask the backend to run a function on one of their connected channels, but the backend did not restrict which functions could be requested, allowing calls to internal helpers. One helper reads a file from the server's disk (e.g., environment file with the session signing secret, database address, and service credentials), and another makes the backend process exit with a single request. Self-registration is open by default, so no existing account or action by another user is needed.

In Goobi viewer from version 25.08 to before 26.05, the IIIF Auth 2.0 endpoints auth/login and auth/token accept an origin query parameter without validation and embed it into the Content-Security-Policy header and an HTML response body as a postMessage argument. Since the attacker controls both calls, the unescaped value yields reflected XSS.
Original NVD description (English source)
Authen::SASL::Perl::DIGEST_MD5 versions before 2.2100 for Perl accept replayed authentication responses via unverified nonce in server_step. server_start generates a fresh nonce and sends it in the challenge, and nothing later compares that value against the nonce the client returns. server_step derives the expected digest from the client's own parameters, so a response verifies whenever its digest matches the nonce it carries. The count table it also checks is keyed on the client-supplied nonce and starts empty in each new server object, so a captured first response, carrying `nc=00000001`, passes that too. RFC 2831 defines the nonce in the response as the value the server sent in the preceding challenge. An attacker who observes one successful `qop=auth` exchange can replay the captured response against a later session for the same service, host, realm and user, and authenticate as that user without knowing the password.
