CVE-2026-101294 Oct 13, 21:17 HIGH This Week

Cryptographic signature verification bypass in IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.5 and 9.0 and WebSphere Liberty 17.0.0.3 through 26.0.0.10 lets a remote, unauthenticated attacker forge or tamper with signed content that the server should reject, undermining trust in signed tokens and messages (CVSS 8.7, scope-changed integrity and confidentiality impact). Exploitation requires High attack complexity - the attacker must satisfy conditions outside their control when crafting input to reach the flawed verification path - so only deployments that process and validate signed input are realistically exposed. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV.

CVE-2026-16000 Oct 02, 06:54 HIGH PATCH This Week

Authentication-tag forgery in Legion of the Bouncy Castle Inc. bc-csharp (Bouncy Castle C#) before 2.7.0 lets a remote, unauthenticated attacker who can obtain ciphertext-and-tag pairs for known or chosen plaintexts under at least two nonces forge a ciphertext that passes tag verification under a nonce that was never queried, because the DSTU 7624 (Kalyna) CCM implementation (KCcmBlockCipher) skipped the nonce-binding G1 block whenever a message carried no associated data. Only applications that call KCcmBlockCipher directly with empty AAD are affected, and the impact is integrity-only (VI:H, VC:N, VA:N), consistent with the vendor's CVSS 4.0 score of 8.7 and our independent CVSS 3.1 assessment of AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis and the issue is not in CISA KEV, but the upstream fix commit publicly includes a regression test that assembles exactly such a cross-nonce forgery using three empty-AAD encryption queries, so the attack technique is documented; practical exposure is narrowed by the requirement for an encryption oracle and for empty-AAD usage of this specific mode.

CVE-2026-100798 Sep 29, 12:36 HIGH This Week

Storage data exposure in Mozilla Firefox stems from cryptography misuse in the Storage: Quota Manager component, allowing remote, unauthenticated attackers to trigger information disclosure if a victim loads attacker-controlled web content (UI:R, PR:N). The independent assessment rates confidentiality impact High and integrity impact Low (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N), with affected versions being Firefox before 157 and Firefox ESR before 153.4. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is low at 0.15% (4th percentile), so this is a moderate-priority patching item rather than an urgent, actively exploited issue.

CVE-2026-76784 Aug 26, 17:47 HIGH PATCH This Week

Unauthorized device control of TP-Link Kasa smart home devices is achievable by any attacker with local network adjacency, due to missing required cryptographic protections (CWE-325) in the local LAN communication protocol. At least 20 distinct Kasa product models are affected, spanning smart plugs, power strips, outdoor outlets, and in-wall switches. Exploitation enables interception, replay, and forgery of device control messages with no authentication required, allowing complete operational manipulation or denial-of-service of affected hardware.

Discretionary access control bypass in Google Chrome desktop before 151.0.7922.72 lets an adversary in a privileged network position defeat a cryptographic protection and manipulate protected traffic. The flaw stems from a cryptographic weakness (CWE-325) rather than a memory-safety bug, and Google rates the Chromium severity High. No public exploit has been identified, EPSS is low (0.19%), and it is not on CISA KEV, but SSVC scores Technical Impact as total and Automatable as yes.

Data disclosure and tampering in Sony FeliCa IC chips manufactured in or before 2017 stems from a missing cryptographic step (CWE-325) in the chip's contactless security handling. An attacker with physical/NFC proximity to an affected card or device can read or alter data stored on the chip, undermining the confidentiality and integrity of stored credentials, balances, or identity data. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV; the CVSS 4.0 base score is 7.0 (High), driven entirely by high impact under a physical attack vector.

Local tampering in Windows CryptoAPI (Crypt32) on Windows 11 (24H2/25H2/26H1) and Windows Server 2022/2025 stems from a missing cryptographic step, letting an authenticated local attacker undermine the integrity and confidentiality of cryptographically protected data. Microsoft rates it 7.1 (High) with high confidentiality and integrity impact; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not on the CISA KEV list. A vendor patch is available through the MSRC update guide.

CVE-2026-49440 Jun 16, 19:08 Cargo HIGH PATCH GHSA This Week

Cryptographic primality validation in Deno's Node.js compatibility layer (versions <= 2.8.0) silently skips Miller-Rabin testing when `crypto.checkPrime`/`checkPrimeSync` is called with default options, causing crafted composites whose smallest prime factor exceeds 17,863 (e.g. 17,881 × 17,891) to be reported as prime. Remote attackers who control bignums fed into a victim Deno application can therefore smuggle composite values past validation, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis beyond the vendor-published reproducer.

Disk encryption bypass in Moxa UC-1200A series industrial computers allows an attacker with invasive physical access to recover the LUKS disk encryption key by sniffing the SPI bus between the CPU and TPM2 chip. The flaw is an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-0714 - Moxa added TPM2 parameter encryption but misconfigured the authorization session so the encryption provides no real protection. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:P) reflects that exploitation is bounded to attackers who can physically open the device.

Confidentiality break in OpenSSL's AES-OCB implementation stems from the EVP_Cipher() code path ignoring the caller-supplied initialization vector (IV), causing the cipher to operate with a fixed/default IV instead. Affected branches include 3.0.x prior to 3.0.21, 3.4.x prior to 3.4.6, 3.5.x prior to 3.5.7, 3.6.x prior to 3.6.3, and 4.0.0, fixed in OpenSSL 4.0.1 and corresponding maintenance releases. With no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no CISA KEV listing, the issue is rated High (CVSS 7.5) due to high confidentiality impact via network-reachable cryptographic operations.
