CVE-2026-100351 Oct 15, 15:52 HIGH PATCH GHSA This Week

An unauthenticated remote request can slip past kin-openapi's openapi3filter authentication middleware and reach a handler that was meant to be protected, when the library's ValidationHandler is used as middleware in front of a gorilla/mux router configured with UseEncodedPath. The library validates the operation it derives from the decoded URL.Path (0.144.0 through 0.146.x), while the downstream mux router, using the raw encoded path, dispatches to a different, protected parameterized route that overlaps the public exact route after decoding - so requests carrying an encoded slash (%2F) can be validated as the public operation and then served by the protected handler without the configured AuthenticationFunc ever running. Reaching the flaw requires a precise deployment stack (kin-openapi >=0.144.0 <0.147.0, ValidationHandler wired as auth middleware, mux with UseEncodedPath, and an overlapping public exact route plus protected parameterized route sharing an HTTP method), which is reflected in the CVSS 7.4 rating with AC:H; no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the upstream fix commit includes a regression test that reproduces the bypass.

CVE-2026-104143 Oct 14, 19:17 HIGH PATCH This Week

Authenticated SQL injection in DataEase versions prior to 2.10.26 allows users with dataset-edit permissions to store a crafted custom dateFormat on a dataset field, which is then inserted without validation into date-conversion SQL templates. When a chart renders the affected field, the injected payload can alter generated SQL and potentially compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the backend database. Reliable exploitation requires a cross-datasource dataset where Calcite parsing is bypassed; on a single-datasource dataset the payload must survive Calcite reserialization as a valid string literal, significantly limiting that path. No public exploit code was identified at the time of analysis, and the vendor has released a patch in version 2.10.26.

CVE-2026-76183 Sep 23, 11:16 CRITICAL PATCH Act Now

Authentication bypass in Apache Tomcat allows unauthenticated remote attackers to reach WebSocket endpoints that are supposed to be protected by container-managed security constraints, simply by referencing the endpoint under an alternate name so the constraint is never matched. Exploitation requires only that the application expose one or more WebSocket endpoints and rely on container-level (web.xml security-constraint) authentication or authorization rules to guard them; no credentials, no user interaction, and no non-default configuration beyond that are needed, and per the CVSS vector (PR:N) the attack is unauthenticated and network-reachable. Affected lines are Tomcat 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.25, 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.59, 9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.121, plus end-of-support 8.5.0-8.5.100 and 7.0.43-7.0.109; no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and Apache has released fixed versions 11.0.26, 10.1.60 and 9.0.122.

CVE-2026-12101 Sep 15, 17:16 HIGH PATCH This Week

IBM Verify Identity Access and its container edition (versions 11.0.0 through 11.0.3 Interim Fix 001), along with the legacy Security Verify Access and container edition (10.0.0 through 10.0.9.2 Interim Fix 001), fail to properly validate user-supplied management requests, so an administrator whose role is not entitled to certain commands can execute them anyway. The vendor scores this High at CVSS 8.1, but exploitation requires prior access to the administrative/management interface as a role-restricted administrator and a specially crafted request capable of defeating the validation logic, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis (EPSS 0.14%, 4th percentile) exists, while a vendor fix is available.

Full authentication bypass in the MyHome Core WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 4.4.5) lets unauthenticated attackers mint a valid activation token for any unconfirmed account and receive that account's auth cookie, enabling silent takeover of administrator accounts. The flaw combines a missing authorization check in the send_link() AJAX handler with weak token validation in activate(). No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but the CVSS 9.8 rating and trivial network exploitability against affected configurations make this a high-priority patch item.

Authentication bypass in the Classified Listing - Mobile Number Verification WordPress plugin (all versions through 1.6.0) allows unauthenticated network attackers to authenticate as any registered user - including site administrators - without a valid OTP. The root cause is the absence of server-side Firebase OTP token validation in the process_otp_login() function, which blindly trusts client-submitted OTP and UID values. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and it does not appear in the CISA KEV catalog, but the CVSS 8.1 score reflects the high impact of full account takeover if exploitation prerequisites are met.
