CVE-2026-97230
UnknownSummary
The Perl module IO::Socket::SSL::SelfCertificate version 1.00 contains malware that executes Python code from an obfuscated URL. The generate_certificate function runs a Python script saved as a certificate file. The malicious file is located at lib/Crypt/SelfCertificate/sample/cert.pem.
Risk Assessment
Arbitrary code can be executed as the user without dropping a script on the affected host, potentially leading to full system compromise. The vulnerability affects installations of the module from untrusted sources.
Recommendation
Immediately remove the installed version 1.00 of IO::Socket::SSL::SelfCertificate and verify file integrity using the provided SHA-256 digests. Do not install the module from untrusted repositories.

Before versions 1.7.4 and 2.0.0-beta.4, the Discord OAuth provider in FriendsOfFlarum does not check the 'verified' field for an OAuth email before passing it to Flarum core as trusted. This allows an unauthenticated attacker who knows a victim's email address to configure a Discord account with that unverified address and sign in as the victim without a password.

In Piwigo up to version 17.0.0beta1, when rating is enabled, an unauthenticated guest can call pwg.images.filteredSearch.create with a crafted ratings[] value and open the returned search URL. The value is not validated and is used as the upper bound in an SQL query, allowing extraction of database information or time delays.

In Piwigo before version 16.4.0, admin/themes_standard_pages.php validates uploaded logo content by MIME type but reuses the attacker-controlled extension in the filename. An authenticated administrator can upload a file with a server-executable extension, leading to code execution when placed in the logo directory.

In InvoicePlane before version 1.7.2-rc-1, the permitted template list is built by scanning a PHP template directory that can be written through an administrator-controlled file-write capability. A malicious PHP file placed in the directory is automatically trusted and can be selected as a public template, then executed when rendering a public invoice.

- CVE-2026-100075Critical
In the Linux kernel, in the RDMA/srpt driver, the function srpt_alloc_rw_ctxs() on partial failure does not reset the n_rw_ctx and n_rdma counters and does not clear the rw_ctxs pointer, leading to incorrect send queue credit accounting. The fix resets the counters and clears the pointer before returning an error.

In kitty from version 0.47.3 before 0.49.0, the colour control escape code handler does not neutralize field names in replies, allowing a program writing to the terminal to execute an arbitrary command in the user's shell. An attacker can compose a shell command using printable ASCII characters and a newline from handle_remote_ssh().
Original NVD description (English source)
IO::Socket::SSL::SelfCertificate versions 1.00 for Perl contains malware which executes Python code from an obfuscated URL. The generate_certificate runs a Python script saved as a certificate file. The pyhton script attempts to retrieve code from a hardcoded http URL that is obfuscated with base64 encoding and run the response body directly. The impact is that arbitrary code can be invoked as the user, without a dropped script being saved on the affected host. The releases have no test scripts nor build hooks. The intention may have been to trigger the payload after installation. The dropper script is in lib/Crypt/SelfCertificate/sample/cert.pem. This is similar to CVE-2026-95831 for the module Crypt::SelfCertificate. The SHA-256 digests of the files are ba24ee8ec3b7f47f65bed62e16fb413ace50653cf44bd8ea90914390922831e0 IO-Socket-SSL-SelfCertificate-1.00.tar.gz 821d38830e5eb8607738421c25ac25f59fff02a6ab67daa32fbd020429454dac IO-Socket-SSL-SelfCertificate-1.00/lib/IO/Socket/SSL/SelfCertificate/sample/cert.pem d483cb7b23b7271cb11cf242bff4a2e1c02df0b9525eb0429abeea8961c399d5 IO-Socket-SSL-SelfCertificate-1.00-upload.tar.gz
