CVE-2026-10090 Aug 05, 09:18 CRITICAL Act Now

Privilege escalation to cluster-admin in Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes (ACM) lets a user holding only namespace-scoped 'edit' rights on an ACM hub namespace take over the entire cluster. By creating a Channel pointing to an attacker-controlled Helm repository and a Subscription referencing it, the app-subscription controller (multicluster-operators-subscription) applies the chart with its own elevated authority and without enforcing the subscription-admin role or namespace confinement, letting the chart install cluster-scoped objects such as a ClusterRoleBinding to cluster-admin. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is low (0.25%), but the technical impact is total and the flaw directly contradicts ACM's documented namespace-confinement guarantee.

CVE-2026-42406 May 13, 14:12 HIGH PATCH This Week

Arbitrary command execution in F5 BIG-IP and BIG-IQ Certificate Manager allows highly privileged attackers with Certificate Manager role to run OS commands by modifying configuration objects. The vulnerability requires network access and high privileges (PR:H) but enables scope change (S:C) with high confidentiality and integrity impact. Vendor-released patch available per F5 Security Advisory K000160971. EPSS data not provided; no confirmed active exploitation (not in CISA KEV) or public exploit code identified at time of analysis.

CVE-2026-29646 Apr 20, 00:00 CRITICAL Act Now

OpenXiangShan NEMU emulator's RISC-V Hypervisor extension implementation allows VS-mode guest writes to the sie (supervisor interrupt-enable) CSR to corrupt machine-level mie state, breaking privilege isolation between virtualization layers. Fixed in commit 55295c4 per GitHub PR #938. Despite CVSS 9.8 Critical rating with network attack vector (AV:N), the EPSS score of 0.03% (9th percentile) indicates extremely low observed exploitation probability, and the vulnerability specifically affects RISC-V emulator environments rather than typical network-accessible services. No CISA KEV listing or public exploit identified at time of analysis, suggesting this is a theoretical high-severity issue in specialized research/development contexts rather than an imminent widespread threat.

CVE-2026-27314 Apr 07, 16:33 Maven HIGH PATCH GHSA This Week

Apache Cassandra 5.0 through 5.0.6 in mTLS environments using MutualTlsAuthenticator allows authenticated users with only CREATE permission to escalate privileges to superuser via certificate identity manipulation through the ADD IDENTITY command. CVSS 8.8 reflects high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, with SSVC indicating non-automatable exploitation but total technical impact. Apache released patch version 5.0.7+ addressing this privilege escalation flaw (CWE-267: Privilege Defined With Unsafe Actions).

IBM i versions 7.5 and 7.6 expose privileged file contents to locally authenticated users operating over SSH, allowing a low-privilege account to read information that should be restricted by the operating system's privilege model. The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-267 (Privilege Defined With Unsafe Actions), meaning the IBM i SSH subsystem permits file access operations that violate the intended privilege boundary for the relevant file. No public exploit code has been identified and the vendor-assigned CVSS score of 3.3 (Low) reflects the constrained local access requirement and limited confidentiality impact.
