CVE-2026-20062 Mar 04, 18:16 HIGH This Week

Cisco Secure Firewall ASA in multi-context mode contains an access control bypass in SCP operations that allows authenticated local administrators of one context to read, modify, or create files in other contexts, including sensitive admin and system configuration files. The vulnerability stems from improper validation of cross-context file access when the CiscoSSH stack is enabled. No patch is currently available for this high-severity flaw.

CVE-2026-46388 Jul 10, 14:44 MEDIUM PATCH This Month

File carve operations in osquery prior to 5.23.1 expose sensitive data due to world-readable temporary directory permissions, allowing a local unprivileged attacker to read carve contents during the collection window. If the carve targets a directory the attacker controls, the impact extends to arbitrary local file reads. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; the vendor-confirmed fix ships in osquery 5.23.1.

CVE-2026-4948 Mar 27, 05:30 MEDIUM PATCH This Month

Firewalld on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, 8, 9, and 10, as well as OpenShift Container Platform 4, contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in two D-Bus setters (setZoneSettings2 and setPolicySettings) that allows local unprivileged users to modify runtime firewall configurations without proper authorization. An authenticated local attacker can exploit this to change network security policies, potentially enabling lateral movement or service disruption. No public exploit code has been identified at the time of analysis, though Red Hat has issued security advisories (CVE-2026-4948, Bugzilla #2452086).

CVE-2025-36228 Dec 26, 15:15 LOW Monitor

Authenticated users of IBM Aspera Faspex 5 can access backend API features that are disabled in the web interface due to inconsistent permission enforcement (CWE-279), potentially leading to misuse of those features. Affected versions are 5.0.0 through 5.0.14.1. Exploitation requires a valid session and does not involve user interaction; impact is limited to low confidentiality and integrity effects, and no public exploit or active exploitation has been identified. This is assessed as a low-severity, low-priority access-control weakness.

CVE-2025-13663 Dec 11, 21:15 MEDIUM This Month

Permission-handling weakness in the Quartus Prime Pro installer for Windows (CVE-2025-13663) lets a local, low-privileged attacker who can pre-create or otherwise control the target installation directory cause the installer to reuse that directory without validating or correcting its ACLs. When an administrator or user then runs the installer against the pre-staged path, installed files may inherit attacker-controlled permissions, allowing tampering with or replacement of program files and potentially privilege escalation in the installer's context. Real-world risk is limited: the attack is local-only, requires the target directory to already exist with attacker-influenced permissions, and needs active user interaction; EPSS is 0.10% (1st percentile), there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.

CVE-2025-30001 Oct 10, 10:15 Maven HIGH This Week

Incorrect permission assignment in Apache StreamPark 2.1.4 and 2.1.5 causes tasks launched by the platform to execute under the wrong privilege context, giving a remote attacker who can reach the affected code path limited but real confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. NVD rates the issue 7.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L), while our independent assessment scores the same vector with PR:L, treating unauthenticated exploitability as unconfirmed pending vendor detail; the described impact is partial on all three metrics. There is no indication of active exploitation - the CVE is not in CISA KEV and no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis - and EPSS is low at 0.55% (45th percentile). Authentication requirements are not confirmed from available data. Vendor-released patch: 2.1.6.
