CVE-2025-67223 HIGH This Week

Unauthenticated remote attackers can access sensitive documents containing personally identifiable information (PII) in Aranda Service Desk versions prior to 8.3.12 by exploiting predictable log file names in the Aranda File Server (AFS) component. Attackers retrieve daily activity logs from a publicly accessible directory to obtain direct virtual paths of uploaded files, then bypass access controls to download the documents. CISA SSVC framework confirms proof-of-concept code exists and the vulnerability is fully automatable, significantly lowering the barrier to exploitation despite no confirmed active exploitation at time of analysis.

CVE-2026-40979 Maven MEDIUM PATCH This Month

Spring AI versions 1.0.0-1.0.5 and 1.1.0-1.1.4 expose ONNX machine learning models to unauthorized disclosure when the application runs in shared hosting environments, allowing local users with limited system access to read sensitive model files and potentially reverse-engineer proprietary ML logic. The vulnerability stems from insecure temporary file handling (CWE-377) that fails to restrict file permissions on extracted model artifacts. Authentication requirements are minimal-only local system access is needed-making this a significant risk in multi-tenant cloud platforms and shared servers.

CVE-2026-40973 Maven HIGH PATCH GHSA This Week

Local privilege escalation and session hijacking in Spring Boot allows attackers with local access to hijack authenticated sessions or execute arbitrary code by taking control of the ApplicationTemp directory. The vulnerability affects Spring Boot versions 2.7.0 through 4.0.5 when server.servlet.session.persistent is enabled, requiring attack persistence across application restarts. VMware has released patches for all supported branches (4.0.6, 3.5.14, 3.4.16, 3.3.19, 2.7.33), though unsupported versions remain vulnerable. No active exploitation confirmed at time of analysis.

CVE-2026-35342 Cargo LOW PATCH Monitor

mktemp utility in uutils coreutils mishandles empty TMPDIR environment variables by creating temporary files in the current working directory instead of falling back to /tmp, potentially exposing sensitive data if the CWD has overly permissive access controls. Affects uutils coreutils versions prior to 0.6.0 and requires local attacker with limited privileges to manipulate the environment or exploit overly accessible working directories; CVSS 3.3 reflects low severity (local access, limited confidentiality impact) despite information disclosure risk.

CVE-2026-25645 PyPI MEDIUM PATCH This Month

The Requests library before version 2.33.0 contains a predictable temporary file extraction vulnerability in the `extract_zipped_paths()` utility function that allows local attackers to perform file injection attacks. An attacker with write access to the system temporary directory can pre-create a malicious file at a predictable location that will be loaded instead of the legitimate extracted file, potentially leading to code execution or privilege escalation. This vulnerability only affects applications that directly call the vulnerable utility function, as standard Requests library usage is not impacted.

A privacy vulnerability in macOS allows applications to access sensitive user data through improper handling of temporary files. The issue affects macOS Sequoia (versions prior to 15.7.5), macOS Sonoma (versions prior to 14.8.4), and macOS Tahoe (versions prior to 26.3). An unprivileged application could exploit weak temporary file protections to read or manipulate sensitive data, though no active exploitation in the wild or public proof-of-concept has been confirmed at this time.
