CVE-2026-62847 Oct 14, 19:24 NuGet HIGH PATCH GHSA This Week

Local privilege escalation in Metalama allows an unprivileged user on a shared Linux or macOS host to plant a malicious .NET assembly in the world-writable system temp directory that will later be loaded and executed by a higher-privileged victim's build process. Metalama cached and extracted compile-time assemblies, auxiliary tools, and embedded helper assemblies under Path.GetTempPath() (/tmp) and trusted existing artifacts solely on a sentinel '.completed' marker file rather than any integrity check, so an attacker can pre-create the deterministic directory layout and rely on the marker to skip regeneration. Exploitation requires a pre-existing local account on the same shared machine or CI/build agent and a victim build initiated afterward; Windows default configurations are not affected because per-user temp ACLs prevent cross-user planting. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and there is no KEV listing, but EPSS-style urgency is moderate given the low attack complexity and the availability of a vendor fix in 2026.1.19 (and 2025.1.18 on the older branch).

Hitachi Disk Array Driver for AIX (01-00 before 01-23-/A) and for Virtual I/O Server (01-04 before 01-23-/A) mishandle temporary files (CWE-377), allowing a locally authenticated attacker to pre-create or symlink a predictable temp file path and redirect a higher-privileged driver operation, yielding high integrity and availability impact with an assessed scope change (S:C) and a vendor CVSS of 7.9. Exploitation is strictly local (AV:L) and requires user interaction (UI:R) - a privileged user or process must trigger the driver operation while the attacker wins the race - so no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and there is no KEV/active-exploitation signal. The practical risk is a local privilege-escalation-style attack against AIX and VIOS hosts with the affected driver installed, degrading to tampering/availability loss rather than confidentiality exposure (C:N).

CVE-2026-79899 Oct 01, 14:37 HIGH This Week

Fortra BoKS Manager's bccgethostcert utility writes predictably named temporary files under the BOKS_tmp directory without first setting a restrictive umask, so a local, authenticated low-privileged user on a BoKS Master host can capture CA secret or host private-key material - either by reading the files during the window in which a privileged operator runs the utility, or by recovering CA secret material left behind after a successful certificate creation. The issue is scored 7.9 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N, CWE-377), and its confidentiality and integrity impact is high precisely because the leaked material is CA-level keying material rather than ordinary application data. Exploitation is access-gated rather than remote: it requires a Master-local account, read access to files under BOKS_tmp, and the utility actually being invoked by a privileged user. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and KEV/EPSS signals were not provided in the source data.

Predictable ONNX model cache path creation in Spring AI enables a local attacker on a shared multi-user host to pre-create the cache location and substitute a malicious ONNX model before the application writes its legitimate copy. Affected versions span Spring AI 1.0.0-1.0.9, 1.1.0-1.1.8, and 2.0.0. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis; critically, the supplied CVSS vector (AV:N/PR:N) is materially inconsistent with the description's local-access requirement, meaning the raw score of 7.5 substantially overstates the realistic attack surface.

CVE-2026-63404 Aug 25, 22:17 HIGH This Week

Local privilege escalation to root is possible in Faktory background job server versions before 1.10.0 through an insecure temporary file flaw in its embedded Redis bootstrapper. The bootstrapper writes Redis startup configuration to the world-writable path /tmp/redis.conf and never validates or overwrites the file on subsequent boots, allowing a local unprivileged user to pre-plant a malicious config before Faktory starts. Because the official systemd unit runs both Faktory and its Redis child process as root, an attacker-supplied loadmodule directive in that config enables arbitrary native code execution as root. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the issue is fixed in version 1.10.0.

Filesystem access in the web-based management interface of HPE EdgeConnect SD-WAN Gateway (ECOS) allows an authenticated, highly privileged remote administrator to reach the underlying device filesystem beyond the intended management scope. Once exploited, an attacker can read sensitive files and tamper with or delete system data, undermining the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the gateway. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV; it is a vendor-reported (HPE) information-disclosure and data-tampering flaw with a CVSS base score of 7.2.

Local privilege-level information disclosure and artifact tampering in CodexBar versions prior to 0.32.0 allows authenticated users on the same macOS host to read App Store Connect API keys and hijack release builds via predictable temporary file paths in the notarization workflow. The flaw stems from writing sensitive credentials and notarization archives to fixed, world-reachable locations rather than per-run private directories, enabling symlink races and pre-creation attacks.
