CVE-2026-78403 Oct 30, 19:12 CRITICAL PATCH Act Now

Remote code execution in Thales Sentinel Keys Server on Windows (versions lower than 1.3.8.0) lets unauthenticated network attackers compromise the service by sending a crafted HTTP request whose first field is overlong, overflowing a stack buffer and leading to code execution as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. The same request path also lacks an authorization check, so no credentials or user interaction are required - the practical gating factor is whether the Sentinel Keys Server HTTP listener is reachable from the attacker. It is scored 9.3 under CVSS v4.0 (independent assessment: CVSS 3.1 AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/C:H/I:H/A:H) and is triaged act_now; no CISA KEV entry is reported and no public exploit code is identified in the provided sources.

CVE-2026-78402 Oct 30, 19:11 HIGH PATCH This Week

A stack-based buffer overflow in Thales Sentinel Keys Server on Windows (versions lower than 1.3.8.0) lets a local attacker who can send a message to the service overflow a stack buffer by supplying an over-long first field, ultimately allowing code execution as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. The flaw is local-only (CVSS:4.0 AV:L, PR:L, base 7.3 HIGH) and requires an additional, unspecified attack condition (AT:P), with no user interaction needed. It is a privilege-escalation primitive for a low-privileged local user rather than a remote entry point; no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and no confirmed active exploitation is reported.
