CVE-2026-15574 Jul 13, 08:01 HIGH This Week

Sensitive information disclosure in Red Hat OpenShift AI's vllm-orchestrator-gateway component exposes bearer tokens and full chat payloads because the production binary writes all incoming Authorization headers and complete request bodies to persistent logs. Any user holding logging privileges can read these logs to harvest live credentials and potentially PII-laden conversation content. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.

CVE-2026-49298 May 31, 12:45 PyPI HIGH PATCH GHSA This Week

Sensitive information disclosure in Apache Airflow versions prior to 3.2.2 exposes JWT authentication tokens via KubernetesExecutor command-line arguments, allowing low-privileged users with process listing access on worker pods to harvest credentials and impersonate workers against the Execution API. The flaw, addressed in PR #60108 alongside a redesign of workload/execution token lifetimes, carries a CVSS 8.8 due to high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and EPSS sits at 0.02%, suggesting limited mass-exploitation activity.

CVE-2026-27173 May 19, 19:19 PyPI HIGH PATCH GHSA This Week

Privilege escalation in the Apache Airflow CNCF Kubernetes provider (versions before 10.17.0) exposes worker JWT tokens to any principal holding read-only access to Kubernetes Pods. When Airflow runs with the KubernetesExecutor, the scheduler embeds a 'workload'-scoped Execution API JWT in the pod's workload payload, so a low-privileged user who can read pod objects can harvest that token and impersonate a running task via the Task SDK, including actions that mutate Airflow database state. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is 0.01% (2nd percentile) and CISA SSVC rates exploitation as none, so this is an insider/lateral-movement risk rather than a mass-exploited flaw.

CVE-2026-21672 Mar 12, 17:16 HIGH This Week

Local privilege escalation in Veeam Backup & Replication on Windows enables authenticated users to gain system-level access without user interaction. An attacker with local account credentials can exploit this vulnerability to achieve complete control over the backup infrastructure, including reading, modifying, or deleting backups. No patch is currently available for this high-severity issue affecting backup administrators and organizations relying on Veeam for data protection.

CVE-2026-80175 Sep 09, 08:14 LOW PATCH Monitor

Dell Secure Connect Gateway (SCG) 5.0 - both the Appliance and Application editions - writes sensitive information into files or directories that are externally accessible on the local system (CWE-538). A local attacker with low privileges who can read those files gains access to information they should not be authorized to see. No public exploit code exists and no active exploitation has been reported; the low CVSS base score of 3.3 reflects the local, low-privilege access requirement and limited confidentiality impact.

Windows Search Component on multiple Windows 11 and Windows Server builds writes sensitive information to externally-accessible file or directory locations (CWE-538), enabling an authenticated network attacker - with victim interaction - to read that exposed data. The flaw affects a wide swath of actively-supported Windows releases including Server 2022 and 2025, all patched by Microsoft in the current update cycle. No public exploit code has been identified and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, consistent with its moderate 5.7 CVSS score.

Unauthenticated remote information disclosure in IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation 24.0.0 through 26.0.0 allows network attackers to retrieve sensitive data embedded in externally accessible manifest files. The vulnerability stems from CWE-538, where sensitive configuration or operational data is written into manifest files that are not adequately protected from external access. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and a vendor patch is available via IBM's support portal.

IBM Db2 versions 11.5.0-11.5.9 and 12.1.0-12.1.4 expose sensitive information through internal monitoring and event tables to authenticated low-privilege local users, a consequence of CWE-538 where sensitive data is inserted into storage locations accessible beyond the intended trust boundary. The CVSS vector confirms local-only attack surface (AV:L) with low-privilege authentication (PR:L) and high confidentiality impact, making this most relevant to insider threat scenarios or post-compromise lateral movement in multi-tenant Db2 environments. No public exploit code exists and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, indicating no confirmed active exploitation at time of analysis.

CVE-2026-50099 Jun 12, 18:24 MEDIUM CISA This Month

WiFi credential exposure in Naxclow IoT device firmware (Smart Doorbell X3, X Smart Home, V720, Ix Cam) allows any attacker with brief physical access to recover host network SSID, PSK, and negotiated WPA keys printed in cleartext to a labeled, production-accessible UART debug console. The UART interface drops to an unauthenticated interactive RT-Thread shell, enabling arbitrary memory reads and full firmware extraction - escalating a credential-theft opportunity into a platform for deeper firmware-level compromise. Reported via CISA ICS-CERT advisory ICSA-26-162-02; no public exploit code identified, though the attack requires only commodity serial hardware and minimal technical knowledge.

CA root certificate exposure in Dahua IPC devices allows unauthenticated network-based attackers, under specific prerequisite conditions, to retrieve the device's internal CA root certificate. If the obtained certificate is installed and trusted on client systems, the attacker could leverage it to issue fraudulent certificates recognized as valid by those clients, collapsing the integrity of affected certificate trust chains. No active exploitation has been confirmed (not in CISA KEV), no public exploit code has been identified, and the CVSS 4.0 score of 2.3 reflects the multi-step, user-dependent nature of the full attack chain.
