CVE-2026-20349 Aug 11, 17:17 HIGH POC KEV THREAT NEWS Act Now

Denial of service via crafted HTTP requests to the Remote Access SSL VPN service affects Cisco Secure Firewall ASA and FTD Software across a broad range of versions, enabling unauthenticated remote attackers to force an unexpected device reload and take down the firewall entirely. The Changed scope (S:C) in the CVSS vector reflects that the impact extends beyond the VPN process itself to the entire device, disrupting all traffic passing through it. This vulnerability is confirmed actively exploited (CISA KEV), with SSVC marking it as automatable, making it a high-priority remediation target for any organization with internet-exposed ASA or FTD VPN endpoints.

CVE-2026-20039 Mar 04, 18:16 HIGH This Week

Unauthenticated remote attackers can trigger a denial of service against Cisco Secure Firewall ASA and FTD devices by sending crafted HTTP requests to the VPN web server, exploiting ineffective memory management to force device reloads. The vulnerability requires no authentication or user interaction and affects all network-exposed instances. No patch is currently available.

CVE-2026-1510 Oct 19, 17:17 MEDIUM PATCH This Month

Information disclosure in IBM Concert 1.0 through 3.0.0 can expose sensitive heap-resident data to an authenticated local attacker with low privileges who is able to inspect the application's process memory, with high attack complexity and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The flaw is CWE-244 (failure to clear heap memory before release), rated CVSS 4.7, and a vendor patch is available. Realistic risk is limited to post-compromise or insider scenarios on hosts where an attacker already has local access.

CVE-2026-48025 Jun 10, 18:34 Go MEDIUM PATCH GHSA This Month

Decrypted CA private keys in nebula-mesh linger in Go's process heap after signing operations complete, violating the keystore package's explicit zeroise contract. All versions through v0.3.6 are affected across three call sites - enroll.go:116, updates.go:297, and mobile_bundle.go:40 - each of which constructs a CAManager with a plaintext ed25519.PrivateKey and drops the reference without wiping the underlying slice. An attacker with local memory-read access can extract the plaintext CA private key from process heap, defeating the master-key envelope-encryption design's core security guarantee. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV.

CVE-2025-70873 Mar 12, 19:16 HIGH POC PATCH CISA This Week

SQLite's zipfile extension contains a bug in the zipfileInflate function that leaks heap memory contents when processing specially crafted ZIP files. This affects SQLite version 3.51.1 and earlier installations that use the zipfile extension. An attacker can exploit this by providing a malicious ZIP file to read sensitive data from the application's memory, potentially exposing passwords, encryption keys, or other confidential information.

CVE-2025-1721 Dec 26, 13:15 HIGH This Week

IBM Concert 1.0.0 through 2.1.0 can disclose residual heap memory contents to remote, unauthenticated users because server-side buffers are not properly cleared before release (CWE-244). The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, base 7.5) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, confidentiality-only flaw that requires no credentials or user interaction, but the leak is opportunistic and non-deterministic - an attacker cannot direct which memory contents are returned, and the specific feature, protocol, or endpoint that echoes the leaked memory is not named in the available data. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV, so real-world risk is governed largely by whether the affected interface is actually reachable (internal-only deployments and access restrictions materially reduce exposure).
