CVE-2026-11980 Jul 30, 14:16 HIGH PATCH This Week

Arbitrary code execution in the IBM Aspera Desktop App (versions 1.0.5 through 1.0.19) arises from insecure DLL loading at application start-up, allowing a local low-privileged attacker who can place a malicious DLL in a path the app searches to run code in the context of the launching user. IBM (the reporter and vendor) has published a fix, and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Impact is high to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, but exploitation is gated by local access and the user launching the application.

CVE-2026-6477 May 14, 13:00 HIGH PATCH This Week

PostgreSQL libpq client library allows malicious server superusers to execute arbitrary code on connecting clients by overwriting stack buffers via unbounded responses to PQfn() calls. The vulnerability affects lo_export(), lo_read(), lo_lseek64(), and lo_tell64() functions used by psql and pg_dump utilities. A compromised or malicious PostgreSQL server can exploit clients running these common administrative tools during routine operations like database backups or large object exports. EPSS and KEV data not available for this recent CVE. CVSS 8.8 reflects the network attack vector with user interaction requirement (connecting to malicious server).

CVE-2025-49215 Jun 17, 21:15 HIGH PATCH This Week

Post-authentication SQL injection vulnerability in Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption PolicyServer that enables authenticated attackers to escalate privileges and achieve full system compromise (confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact). The vulnerability requires an attacker to first obtain low-privileged code execution on the target system before exploiting the SQL injection to escalate to administrative privileges. With a CVSS score of 8.8 and network accessibility, this represents a significant risk to organizations running vulnerable PolicyServer instances, particularly in environments where initial compromise vectors (phishing, lateral movement, supply chain) are plausible.
