CVE-2026-25250 Aug 27, 16:55 MEDIUM This Month

EAZ EazyFix 12.9 exposes a security feature bypass (CWE-325: Missing Required Cryptographic Step) that allows a highly privileged local attacker to disable Secure Boot, undermining the firmware-level integrity chain that prevents unauthorized boot components from executing. The MSRC entry at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-25250 confirms Microsoft ecosystem relevance, suggesting the flaw interacts with Windows Secure Boot validation. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

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.

CVE-2026-59776 Jul 21, 03:06 HIGH This Week

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.

Windows Boot Loader across Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server 2012 through 2025 omits a required cryptographic integrity step (CWE-325), enabling a locally authenticated attacker to bypass boot-time security features. The CVSS vector (AV:L/PR:L) confirms exploitation requires an existing local foothold - remote unauthenticated attacks are not possible. No active exploitation is recorded (SSVC: none, EPSS 0.23%), but SSVC rates technical impact as total, reflecting that a successful boot-level security bypass can undermine the entire trusted boot chain and enable persistent pre-OS compromise.

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-2026-6458 Jun 23, 23:49 MEDIUM This Month

Broken GCM integrity in Caliptra Core Runtime Firmware 2.0.0-2.1.0 allows an adjacent, low-privileged attacker to silently tamper with ciphertext produced by the streaming AES-256-GCM API when called with empty AAD. The root defect - a missing save of the hardware GHASH accumulator state after the first streaming update call - causes the final authentication tag to exclude the first batch of processed ciphertext, nullifying the integrity guarantee of authenticated encryption for that block. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

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.

TLS certificate validation failure in the ReadyCloud client app on multiple NETGEAR router models exposes confidential data to network interception. The app does not properly validate TLS certificates (CWE-325), enabling a network-positioned attacker to perform man-in-the-middle (MiTM) attacks against ReadyCloud communications. Affected models include the RAX35, RAX38, RAX40, RAX120v1, and RAX120v2 running firmware below the patched versions; no public exploit code exists and no active exploitation has been confirmed.
