No patch is currently available for this high-severity vulnerability.

Textream versions prior to 1.5.1 lack connection limits on the DirectorServer WebSocket, allowing remote attackers to trigger denial of service by flooding the server with requests that trigger periodic state broadcasts, exhausting system resources and crashing the application during live sessions. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability. The issue is resolved in version 1.5.1 and later.

Textream prior to version 1.5.1 fails to validate the Origin header during WebSocket handshake, allowing malicious websites to establish unauthorized connections to the local DirectorServer and inject arbitrary commands. An attacker can exploit this from a browser to gain full remote control of teleprompter content without user interaction beyond visiting a compromised page. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability; updating to version 1.5.1 or later resolves the issue.

Local privilege escalation via out-of-bounds memory read in Docker Desktop's grpcfuse kernel module (versions up to 4.61.0) on Linux, Windows, and macOS allows authenticated local attackers to achieve complete system compromise through manipulation of /proc/docker entries. The vulnerability requires local access and valid user credentials but enables reading and modifying arbitrary kernel memory with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Docker Desktop 4.62.0 and later resolve this issue.

OpenClaw AI assistant on macOS versions 2026.2.13 and earlier is vulnerable to command injection through the credential refresh mechanism, which improperly handles user-controlled OAuth tokens when constructing shell commands for Keychain operations. An authenticated attacker with local access could exploit this to execute arbitrary OS commands with the privileges of the application user. The vulnerability has been patched in version 2026.2.14.

Missing authentication in Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud Agent (Linux, Windows, macOS).

OpenClaw's mDNS/Bonjour discovery beacons transmit unauthenticated TXT records that iOS, macOS, and Android clients treat as authoritative for routing and TLS certificate pinning, allowing an attacker on a shared LAN to advertise a rogue service and redirect connections to attacker-controlled endpoints. An attacker can exploit this to bypass TLS pinning validation and potentially capture Gateway credentials through man-in-the-middle attacks. The vulnerability affects OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.14 and requires network proximity but no user interaction.

OpenClaw macOS desktop client versions 2026.2.6 through 2026.2.13 fail to fully display message content in confirmation dialogs for deep links, allowing attackers to hide malicious payloads behind whitespace that users cannot see before execution. When a user approves the truncated preview and clicks "Run," the full hidden message executes, potentially leading to arbitrary command execution depending on the user's configured permissions. This affects beta versions of the OpenClaw AI assistant on macOS where the openclaw:// URL scheme is registered without proper authentication.

The com.epson.InstallNavi.helper tool, deployed with the EPSON printer driver installer, contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability due to multiple flaws in its implementation. [CVSS 7.8 HIGH]
