CVE-2026-96012 Oct 12, 19:30 CRITICAL PATCH Act Now

Authenticated attackers with low privileges can escalate to elevated privileges on IBM i systems running Db2 Mirror for i 7.4, 7.5, or 7.6 by submitting a crafted request that bypasses additional authorization and input-validation checks, potentially allowing malicious code execution. This critical-severity (CVSS 9.9) privilege escalation affects standard deployments and requires a valid low-privilege account; no public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, but a vendor patch is available.

CVE-2026-76412 Sep 16, 20:15 HIGH This Week

Privilege escalation in the remote diagnostics debugger of Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC) lets an authenticated, remote user turn a valid low-privileged account into root. The flaw is a faulty privilege-level check (CWE-264) applied when a user invokes remote diagnostics, so an attacker who can log into either the web-based management interface or the REST API can enable the debugger service and have it grant them elevated rights; Cisco rates the exploitation path High complexity because it requires a multi-stage sequence rather than a single crafted request (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H, 8.5). Because the attacker must already hold valid credentials on the device (PR:L), this is an access-gated escalation and not an unauthenticated entry point; no public exploit code has been identified and the issue is not confirmed as actively exploited (not in CISA KEV), though the scope-change impact (S:C) means a compromise of the debugger context can affect resources beyond the vulnerable component. Affected releases reported through EUVD are FMC 7.7.0, 7.7.10, 7.7.10.1, 7.7.11, 7.7.12, 10.0.0 and 10.0.1.

CVE-2026-49315 Sep 09, 03:52 HIGH This Week

Denial-of-service in Huawei HarmonyOS and EMUI's input device module allows a local unprivileged attacker to crash affected system components, impacting device availability. The CVSS scope change (S:C) indicates the flaw propagates availability impact beyond the vulnerable input module itself, potentially affecting higher-privileged or dependent subsystems. No public exploit code has been identified and this vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV at time of analysis.

CVE-2026-49310 Sep 09, 03:22 HIGH This Week

Unauthenticated remote availability disruption in Huawei HarmonyOS 6.1.0 allows network-accessible attackers to exploit missing permission controls in the event notification module, causing high-severity service outages that propagate beyond the vulnerable component via a scope change. The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-264 (Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls) and carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.6 with no privilege or user-interaction requirements. Huawei issued remediation guidance in its September 2026 security bulletin covering smartphones, Vision devices, wearables, and laptops; no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.
