CVE-2026-6265 Apr 27, 13:00 HIGH This Week

Local privilege escalation in Cerberus FTP Server on Windows (all builds through 2025.4.2) lets a low-privileged local user leverage insecurely preserved inherited filesystem permissions to gain higher privileges on the host. The SSVC framework records a proof-of-concept exploit (published by Reversec Labs) with total technical impact, though EPSS estimates real-world exploitation probability at just 0.01%. The issue is fixed in release 2026.1.

CVE-2026-71477 Aug 18, 15:22 MEDIUM PATCH This Month

Local privilege escalation in mise (jdx/mise), the polyglot dev tool version manager, allows a local user with UID and GID 1001 to gain ownership of a root-installed system binary. Prior to version 2026.7.1, release tar archives embedded non-root UID/GID 1001 metadata from the build environment, and the standalone install script failed to normalize ownership before placing the binary in shared paths such as /usr/local/bin, leaving the installed executable writable by any user matching that UID/GID pair. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and no CISA KEV listing exists, but the attack path is mechanically straightforward in multi-user environments where a local account happens to share UID/GID 1001 with the build system.
