CVE-2026-34600 MEDIUM PATCH This Month

Unauthorized note disclosure in Joplin server versions 3.5.2 and prior allows authenticated former share recipients to retrieve notes after sharing has been revoked, via two compounding logic errors in the ChangeModel delta API. The first flaw attaches full item content to delta responses without re-verifying current share status; the second incorrectly compresses create → delete event sequences into a NOOP rather than a delete, causing the API to synthesize a create event with full note content for deleted items when those events span separate delta pages. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV, but confidentiality impact is rated High given that full note content is returned to unauthorized recipients.

CVE-2026-25850 MEDIUM This Month

OpenHarmony v6.0 and prior versions expose sensitive information to local low-privileged attackers due to improper preservation of permissions (CWE-281). A locally authenticated attacker with standard user privileges can exploit this flaw to leak confidential data - achieving high confidentiality impact - without requiring elevated rights or user interaction. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, but the low complexity and no-interaction-required nature of the attack make it straightforward to exploit once access is obtained.

CVE-2025-8325 MEDIUM PATCH This Month

Role-based access control bypass in WSO2 API Manager 3.x allows authenticated users with the 'Internal/Everyone' role to invoke Gateway and Internal Service APIs without proper permission enforcement, enabling unauthorized operations on sensitive REST API endpoints. The vulnerability affects multiple WSO2 products including API Control Plane, Universal Gateway, and Traffic Manager. CVSS 6.3 (network-accessible, low complexity, requires valid user credentials) indicates moderate severity with clear lateral privilege escalation potential in multi-tenant environments.

{id}` with `permissions[admin]=1`. The API controller only strips the `superuser` key from the permissions array, allowing `admin` and all other permission keys to be set by any user who can update users. Patched in https://github.com/grokability/snipe-it/commit/ce18ff669ceb0f0349749fd5d11c1d3d40b10569, fix was released in v8.4.1 None.

CVE-2026-35361 Cargo LOW PATCH Monitor

The mknod utility in uutils coreutils creates device nodes before atomically applying SELinux security labels, and fails to properly clean up mislabeled nodes if labeling operations fail. This leaves device nodes with incorrect default SELinux contexts, potentially bypassing mandatory access control restrictions on systems where SELinux is enforcing. Affects coreutils versions prior to 0.6.0; exploitation requires local root or elevated privileges and is not currently publicly exploited, though cleanup failures are guaranteed on labeling failure.

CVE-2026-35351 Cargo MEDIUM This Month

The mv utility in uutils coreutils fails to preserve file ownership when moving files across filesystem boundaries, causing moved files to be reassigned to the caller's UID/GID instead of retaining the source file's ownership metadata. When invoked by privileged users (such as root), this results in unexpected ownership changes that can lead to information disclosure or access restrictions for legitimate file owners. Exploitation requires local access and high privileges; a public proof-of-concept exists but active exploitation has not been confirmed in the wild.

CVE-2026-35350 Cargo MEDIUM This Month

The cp utility in uutils coreutils improperly preserves setuid and setgid bits when the chown operation fails during file copying with the -p flag, potentially creating unprivileged user-owned files that retain elevated privilege bits and violate security policies. This behavior diverges from GNU cp, which strips these bits when ownership preservation fails. Local users with write access to directories can exploit this to create unexpected privileged executables.

CVE-2026-35385 HIGH PATCH This Week

File permission escalation in OpenSSH legacy scp allows remote attackers to install setuid/setgid binaries when downloading files as root. OpenSSH versions before 10.3 are affected when using legacy scp protocol (-O flag) without -p (preserve mode). Attack requires high complexity and user interaction (CVSS AC:H/UI:R) but achieves complete system compromise if successful. EPSS score of 0.04% (11th percentile) indicates low predicted exploitation probability. SSVC framework confirms no active exploitation, non-automatable attack, but total technical impact. Vendor patch released in OpenSSH 10.3p1.
