Information Disclosure
Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
How It Works
Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security. This happens through multiple channels: verbose error messages that display stack traces revealing internal paths and frameworks, improperly secured debug endpoints left active in production, and misconfigured servers that expose directory listings or version control artifacts like .git folders. APIs often leak excessive data in responses—returning full user objects when only a name is needed, or revealing system internals through metadata fields.
Attackers exploit these exposures systematically. They probe for common sensitive files (.env, config.php, backup archives), trigger error conditions to extract framework details, and analyze response timing or content differences to enumerate valid usernames or resources. Even subtle variations—like "invalid password" versus "user not found"—enable account enumeration. Exposed configuration files frequently contain database credentials, API keys, or internal service URLs that unlock further attack vectors.
The attack flow typically starts with passive reconnaissance: examining HTTP headers, JavaScript bundles, and public endpoints for version information and architecture clues. Active probing follows—testing predictable paths, manipulating parameters to trigger exceptions, and comparing responses across similar requests to identify information leakage patterns.
Impact
- Credential compromise: Exposed configuration files, hardcoded secrets in source code, or API keys enable direct authentication bypass
- Attack surface mapping: Stack traces, framework versions, and internal paths help attackers craft targeted exploits for known vulnerabilities
- Data breach: Direct exposure of user data, payment information, or proprietary business logic through oversharing APIs or accessible backups
- Privilege escalation pathway: Internal URLs, service discovery information, and architecture details facilitate lateral movement and SSRF attacks
- Compliance violations: GDPR, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA penalties for exposing regulated data through preventable disclosures
Real-World Examples
A major Git repository exposure affected thousands of websites when .git folders remained accessible on production servers, allowing attackers to reconstruct entire source code histories including deleted commits containing credentials. Tools like GitDumper automated mass exploitation of this misconfiguration.
Cloud storage misconfigurations have repeatedly exposed sensitive data when companies left S3 buckets or Azure Blob containers publicly readable. One incident exposed 150 million voter records because verbose API error messages revealed the storage URL structure, and no authentication was required.
Framework debug modes left enabled in production have caused numerous breaches. Django's DEBUG=True setting exposed complete stack traces with database queries and environment variables, while Laravel's debug pages revealed encryption keys through the APP_KEY variable in environment dumps.
Mitigation
- Generic error pages: Return uniform error messages to users; log detailed exceptions server-side only
- Disable debug modes: Enforce production configurations that suppress stack traces, verbose logging, and debug endpoints through deployment automation
- Access control audits: Restrict or remove development artifacts (
.git, backup files,phpinfo()) and internal endpoints before deployment - Response minimization: API responses should return only necessary fields; implement allowlists rather than blocklists for data exposure
- Security headers: Deploy
X-Content-Type-Options, remove server version banners, and disable directory indexing - Timing consistency: Ensure authentication and validation responses take uniform time regardless of input validity
Recent CVEs (67637)
Arbitrary file read and deletion in Database Backup for WordPress (versions ≤2.5.2) allows unauthenticated attackers on WordPress Multisite installations to access sensitive files and potentially achieve site takeover. The vulnerability stems from improper authorization enforcement combined with user-controlled backup directory parameters, exploitable only in Multisite environments using the deprecated is_site_admin() function. CVSS 8.1 with high attack complexity (AC:H) reflects the Multisite-only prerequisite. No CISA KEV listing indicates limited observed exploitation despite the critical authorization bypass nature.
Authorization bypass in Database Backup for WordPress plugin (≤2.5.2) enables unauthenticated attackers to redirect scheduled backup files to publicly accessible directories and retrieve them before cleanup. By poisoning the wp_db_temp_dir parameter via wp-cron.php, attackers can intercept database backups containing credentials, password hashes, and PII. Backup filenames follow predictable patterns (database name, table prefix, date, Swatch Internet Time), making interception reliable. Exploitation requires administrator-configured scheduled backups but no authentication or user interaction (CVSS AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N). EPSS and KEV data not provided; Wordfence-reported vulnerability with publicly accessible source code references enabling attack reproduction.
Memory dump attacks against Comarch ERP Optima client expose hardcoded high-privilege database credentials, allowing local attackers with process control to bypass application-level access controls and gain direct database access with elevated privileges. Exploitation requires a configured client installation but no user login, creating persistent risk on shared workstations. CERT-PL publicly disclosed this credential management flaw (CWE-266) with patch available in version 2026.4, though no active exploitation or public POC has been confirmed.
Integer overflow in simdjson's string_builder::escape_and_append() function allows out-of-bounds memory reads in SIMD routines when processing very large input strings on 32-bit platforms, potentially resulting in information disclosure or memory corruption. The vulnerability affects all versions before 4.6.4 and has been patched by the vendor.
MW WP Form plugin for WordPress allows unauthenticated attackers to extract data from password-protected, private, and draft posts via the _get_post_property_from_querystring() function due to insufficient access control checks on post retrieval. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 5.1.2 and requires only network access with no user interaction, enabling confidential content disclosure to unauthorized users.
Arbitrary file deletion in the Motors - Car Dealership & Classified Listings Plugin for WordPress (versions up to and including 1.4.107) allows authenticated users with subscriber-level access or higher to delete arbitrary files on the server by supplying a malicious filesystem path through the become-dealer logo upload flow. The flaw was reported by Wordfence and carries a CVSS of 8.1, but EPSS remains very low (0.05%) and CISA SSVC reports no observed exploitation, indicating risk is theoretical rather than active. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Improper authorization in GitLab CE/EE exposes confidential issue content to any authenticated user on public projects across three active release branches. The flaw (CWE-288) allows a low-privileged, authenticated user - including users with no project membership - to read issue content that project owners explicitly marked confidential and restricted. With patch versions released on May 13, 2026 and no public exploit or KEV listing identified at time of analysis, the immediate threat is bounded, though the confidentiality impact is rated High by CVSS given the potential for sensitive business or security-relevant issue data to be disclosed.
GitLab's Jira integration exposes out-of-scope Jira issues to authenticated GitLab users across all editions (CE and EE) from version 13.7 through the patched releases, due to the integration's project-scope filter operating only as a UI display control rather than an enforced access boundary. The Changed scope (S:C) in the CVSS vector reflects that impact crosses into Atlassian Jira - a component outside GitLab's own trust domain - allowing confidential Jira issue data to leak beyond intended project boundaries. No public exploit exists and no active exploitation has been confirmed; EPSS is negligible at 0.01% (3rd percentile), placing this firmly in low-exploitation-probability territory despite a broad version range spanning over five years of releases.
OAuth scope enforcement bypass in GitLab CE/EE allows an authenticated user holding a read_api-scoped OAuth token to perform unauthorized write operations - specifically creating issues and adding comments - in private projects. Affected are all GitLab Community and Enterprise Edition installations from version 16.0 up to the patched releases 18.9.7, 18.10.6, and 18.11.3. A publicly available proof-of-concept exists, and while EPSS probability is extremely low (0.01%, 1st percentile) with no CISA KEV listing, the integrity impact is rated High given the ability to inject content into private project issue trackers.
Cleartext transmission of sensitive information in KDDI's Android parental-control app 'あんしんフィルター for au' (Anshin Filter for au) exposes communications to interception and modification by man-in-the-middle attackers. Versions prior to 4.9_b0003 transmit data over unencrypted channels, enabling an attacker with a privileged network position to read sensitive user data or tamper with app communications. Disclosed by JPCERT/CC (JVN#24167657), no public exploit code exists and CISA has not listed this in KEV; EPSS of 0.01% (3rd percentile) and SSVC exploitation status of 'none' confirm negligible current threat activity.
Cleartext transmission in Foscam VD1 Video Doorbell (firmware before V5.3.13_1072) exposes Session Description Protocol (SDP) credentials and ICE candidates over unencrypted network channels, enabling on-path attackers to intercept media stream authentication tokens, hijack real-time video/audio feeds, and abuse Foscam's TURN relay infrastructure for unauthorized traffic routing. EPSS score of 0.02% (5th percentile) suggests low widespread exploitation likelihood, though the network-accessible attack vector (AV:N) with no authentication requirement (PR:N) and low complexity (AC:L) creates risk in residential deployment scenarios where LAN or ISP-level interception is feasible.
Authentication bypass in Yubico java-webauthn-server (webauthn-server-core) 2.8.0 through 2.8.1 allows an attacker holding any valid registered credential to impersonate other users during the second-factor flow. The flaw stems from an unchecked return value in finishAssertion that accepts a successful authentication result even when the authenticated credential belongs to a different user than the one named in StartAssertionOptions.username. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is very low (0.01%), but CISA SSVC rates the technical impact as total.
Brute-force lockout bypass in OPNsense prior to 26.1.7 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to indefinitely circumvent the authentication failure counter, enabling unlimited credential guessing against any network-accessible login endpoint. The flaw resides in the lockout_handler logic, which interprets attacker-controlled username strings containing the keywords 'Accepted' or 'Successful login' as success signals and resets the IP-based failure counter. A publicly available proof-of-concept exploit exists (SSVC exploitation: poc), the attack is classified as automatable with no prerequisites beyond network reach, and no active exploitation is confirmed in CISA KEV. EPSS is low at 0.03% (10th percentile), suggesting limited observed exploitation at time of analysis.
Credential interception in cPanel/WHM and WP Squared DNS Cluster system allows network-positioned attackers to perform man-in-the-middle attacks because SSL/TLS certificate verification is disabled when DNS Cluster nodes communicate. An attacker able to intercept traffic between cluster peers can impersonate a legitimate DNS Cluster server and capture authentication credentials transmitted during the request. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS exploitation probability is very low (0.03%), but SSVC marks the flaw as automatable with partial technical impact.
Insufficient input validation in MISP's Collections model allows authenticated low-privileged users to inject malformed UUID values into Collection records, potentially causing data integrity issues or unexpected behavior in downstream code paths that assume RFC 4122-compliant UUIDs. Affected deployments are all MISP instances prior to version 2.5.37. No public exploit code exists and CISA's SSVC framework rates exploitation as none, making this a low-urgency integrity issue rather than an active threat, though integrity of Collection relationships and UUID-dependent logic is at risk until patched.
Account and store takeover in CubeCart 6.6.x through 6.7.1 is possible because the CC_STORE_URL constant is derived from the unvalidated Host header at bootstrap and embedded into password-reset emails. A remote unauthenticated attacker who knows a victim's email address can trigger a host-header poisoning attack that emails the user a reset link pointing at attacker-controlled infrastructure, capturing a valid 3,600-second token on click. SSVC reports a public POC and total technical impact, while EPSS remains low (0.03%) and no public exploit is identified as in-the-wild.
Authenticated server-side template injection in CubeCart v6 before 6.7.0 lets administrators escape the Smarty template sandbox and invoke native PHP functions through modules such as Email Templates and Documents. Attackers can call readgzfile() to exfiltrate configuration secrets and error_log() with message_type=3 to drop a PHP webshell, yielding full remote code execution. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but a SSVC 'poc' status and an upstream commit hardening the Smarty allowlist indicate the technique is documented.
Mass assignment in Quark Auto Save (also referenced as Quark Drive) before version 0.8.5 lets authenticated users overwrite administrator credentials by posting an arbitrary 'webui' object to the config_data dictionary through the POST /update endpoint. Successful exploitation locks out legitimate administrators and grants persistent control over scheduled tasks, cloud storage tokens, and notification integrations. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS rates exploitation probability at just 0.05% (16th percentile), though a vendor patch is available in release v0.8.5.
Authentication bypass in Grafana OSS Auth Proxy allows remote attackers to circumvent IPv6 allow-list restrictions because the feature applies a /32 default mask to IPv6 addresses instead of the appropriate /128, dramatically widening the trusted address space and potentially admitting unauthorized clients into authenticated sessions. The flaw is confined to the Auth Proxy authentication path - Okta, SAML, and LDAP integrations are unaffected - and at this time there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, with EPSS at 0.03% and SSVC marking exploitation as 'none.'
Arbitrary file read in Grafana OSS exposes server filesystem contents to authenticated low-privilege users when the sqlExpressions feature toggle is enabled. Affected versions span the 11.6.x, 12.x, and 13.0.x release trains, with fixed security builds available across all affected branches. No public exploit code exists and CISA has not added this to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog; however, the confidentiality impact is rated High by CVSS due to the potential for unrestricted file disclosure from the Grafana server's filesystem.
Improper certificate validation in Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access Agent versions below 26.2.1 on Android and Chrome OS exposes VPN sessions to man-in-the-middle interception by adjacent-network attackers. An attacker co-located on the same network segment can present any certificate for any domain issued by a trusted Certificate Authority - bypassing domain-specific validation - to intercept VPN tunnel traffic and capture sensitive device information. No public exploit code exists and no active exploitation has been confirmed (EPSS 0.00%, not in CISA KEV); however, a vendor patch is available at version 26.2.1 and should be prioritized for mobile and Chrome OS deployments.
SQL injection in Palo Alto Networks Trust Protection Foundation exposes the platform database to arbitrary command execution by authenticated attackers on an adjacent network. Affected versions span four active release trains (24.1.x, 24.3.x, 25.1.x, 25.3.x), with successful exploitation enabling full database read/write access and privilege escalation to administrative control. No public exploit code exists and no active exploitation has been identified; EPSS sits at 0.01% and SSVC exploitation status is 'none', but the SSVC technical impact rating of 'total' underscores the severity of a successful attack.
Improper certificate validation in Palo Alto Networks Prisma SD-WAN ION allows an adjacent-network attacker positioned as a man-in-the-middle to impersonate the SD-WAN controller, achieving high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact against the vulnerable device. Affected versions span three active release trains (6.3.x, 6.4.x, and 6.5.x), with fixed builds now available from Palo Alto Networks. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS sits at 0.00%, but SSVC rates technical impact as total given the controller-impersonation capability.
Prisma Access Agent on Windows and macOS exposes sensitive configuration data and credentials to local low-privileged users through multiple information disclosure weaknesses. Palo Alto Networks has confirmed these vulnerabilities affect agent versions prior to 26.2.1; Linux, ChromeOS, Android, and iOS deployments are explicitly out of scope. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and SSVC classifies exploitation status as none, making this a low-urgency but real credential-hygiene risk on affected desktop platforms.
Sensitive vault credential disclosure in Palo Alto Networks Trust Protection Foundation allows an authenticated, adjacent-network attacker with low privileges to read secrets from the server's underlying vault (indicated by the HashiCorp tag), then leverage those secrets to impersonate any user in the environment and arbitrarily modify platform configuration. Affected across four active release branches (24.1.x, 24.3.x, 25.1.x, 25.3.x), with fixed versions available from the vendor. No public exploit code exists and CISA has not listed this in KEV; EPSS exploitation probability is 0.01%, reflecting low current threat activity.
Session impersonation in Arqit Symmetric Key Agreement Platform (SKA-Platform) prior to version 26.03 is enabled by improper idle timeout enforcement in the embedded Keycloak authentication interface, allowing browser sessions to persist beyond their intended expiry window. An attacker with physical access to an unattended device where a tenant user has an open, authenticated session can exploit the unexpired session to impersonate that user. No public exploit code exists and CISA has not listed this in KEV; EPSS is at the 0th percentile, consistent with SSVC's 'none' exploitation status and the severe physical-access prerequisite.
Unauthenticated information disclosure in Palo Alto Networks' Chronosphere Chronocollector exposes sensitive data to any attacker with adjacent network access to the collector service endpoint. All versions from 0.0.0 up to v0.116.0 are affected, with the fix released in v0.116.0. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and CISA has not added this to the KEV catalog, but the CVSS 4.0 Value Density modifier of 'Concentrated' (V:C) suggests the data at risk may include high-value material such as credentials or configuration secrets.
Sensitive key material disclosure in Arqit Symmetric Key Agreement Platform versions before 26.03 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to retrieve the QKEY (a critical input to the OTA-Quantum device registration process) along with internal system keys via a plain HTTP GET request. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS exploitation probability is very low (0.03%), but the high CVSS of 8.7 with scope-change reflects the severe downstream cryptographic compromise possible once these keys leak. A vendor patch is available in version 26.03.
Authenticated file read and delete in Palo Alto Networks WildFire WF-500 and WF-500-B on-premise sandboxing appliances exposes sensitive system information and permits arbitrary file deletion by low-privileged network users. The root cause is CWE-73 (External Control of File Name or Path), where user-supplied input is insufficiently validated before being used to construct file system paths. Exploitation is constrained to appliances running in the default non-FIPS configuration mode; organizations relying solely on the WildFire Public cloud service are not impacted. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, consistent with EPSS at 0.05% (16th percentile) and SSVC exploitation status of 'none'.
Information disclosure in Zoom Workplace for iOS before version 7.0.0 allows an authenticated user with physical access to the device to read limited confidential data by exploiting a failed protection mechanism. The vulnerability is constrained by both physical proximity and high privilege requirements, yielding a CVSS score of 1.8 - among the lowest possible. No active exploitation has been identified, and Zoom has released a fix in version 7.0.0 per their security bulletin ZSB-26006.
Sandbox escape in vm2 (patriksimek/vm2) versions prior to 3.11.3 enables remote code execution on the host Node.js process by abusing async generator `yield*` semantics to smuggle a host-realm exception into sandbox code, where the attacker pivots through `.constructor.constructor` to reach `process` and `child_process.execSync`. The flaw is exploitable by any attacker who can run JavaScript inside the sandbox, has publicly available exploit code, and carries SSVC technical impact 'total' with automatable=yes, though EPSS remains low at 0.05% (17th percentile) and the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV.
Authorization bypass in SiYuan note-taking platform versions up to and including v3.6.5 allows publish-mode Readers (anonymous visitors) and read-only Editors to invoke eight state-mutating APIs that are missing CheckAdminRole and CheckReadonly middleware. Attackers with only basic CheckAuth (including unauthenticated publish visitors) can rewrite the workspace conf.json, manipulate cloud sync intervals, overwrite graph configuration, poison the SQL block index, and tamper with the admin's recent-documents list. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but a detailed PoC accompanies the advisory and EPSS sits at 0.04% (12th percentile).
Authenticated users with GitRepository modification privileges in Nautobot can manipulate the current_head field via REST API to force local repository clones to check out arbitrary commits, causing repository state inconsistency or denial of service. The unintended write access stems from improper REST API serializer configuration (CWE-471: Modification of Assumed-Immutable Data). Vendor-released patches in versions 2.4.33 and 3.1.2 add field-level access controls and input validation to prevent manipulation of the internal current_head tracking field. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though exploitation requires only low-privilege authenticated API access.
go-billy versions prior to v5.9.0 and v6.0.0-alpha.1 lack proper depth and cycle detection in symlink resolution, allowing authenticated remote attackers to trigger infinite loops, uncontrolled recursion, or excessive resource consumption through crafted or malformed repository data and filesystem structures. The vulnerability stems from insufficient validation and missing safety mechanisms such as cycle detection, recursion limits, or defensive handling of unexpected states. CVSS 6.5 (availability impact) reflects the authenticated requirement (PR:L) and network attack vector, with no public exploit currently identified.
State management failure in the Linux kernel liveupdate subsystem allows a local low-privileged user to trigger a use-after-free or double-free condition by retrying a failed LIVEUPDATE_SESSION_RETRIEVE_FD ioctl, resulting in kernel crash or WARN and full availability loss. The luo_file struct's retrieve status is never recorded on failure, leaving the kernel's serialization state machine inconsistent; a retry re-enters retrieve logic against partially freed data structures such as kho folio mappings. No public exploit exists and EPSS is 0.02%, placing this firmly in low-priority territory absent active use of the liveupdate feature.
Interrupt storm vulnerability in the Linux kernel xHCI USB host controller driver allows a local user to cause a complete system availability loss by triggering a Host Controller Error (HCE) via UAS storage device hotplug events. Affected kernel versions prior to 6.6.130, 6.12.78, 6.18.19, 6.19.9, and 7.0 fail to invoke xhci_halt() when HCE is detected in xhci_irq(), leaving the interrupt uncleared and the controller running - resulting in a continuous interrupt storm. No public exploit has been identified and EPSS is 0.02% (5th percentile), consistent with the hardware-interaction-dependent trigger, but availability impact is high on affected hosts where USB ports are physically accessible.
Random system freeze vulnerability in the Linux kernel's libata-core subsystem affects any Linux host physically equipped with a Seagate ST1000DM010-2EP102 BarraCuda hard drive, where the kernel's default enablement of SATA Link Power Management (LPM) causes the drive to fail its wake sequence and hang the system irrecoverably. The ST1000DM010-2EP102 belongs to the same BarraCuda family as the ST2000DM008-2FR102, for which an LPM quirk already exists in libata - the fix extends that quirk to cover this model. No active exploitation has been identified (absent from CISA KEV), and EPSS at 0.02% reflects negligible adversarial interest, consistent with this being a hardware compatibility defect rather than a traditional security flaw.
Spurious WARN_ON assertions in the Linux kernel's nouveau/gsp ACPI probe routines trigger frequently during normal NVIDIA GPU initialization, creating an availability risk on affected systems. On kernels configured with panic_on_warn=1, each triggered WARN_ON escalates to a full kernel panic, while on default configurations it produces excessive kernel log noise that degrades observability. Affected kernel versions range from the introduction of commit 176fdcbddfd2 through stable branches fixed in 6.18.19, 6.19.9, and 7.0; no active exploitation is identified (EPSS 0.02%, not in CISA KEV).
Concurrent bitfield RMW (Read-Modify-Write) corruption in the Linux kernel MMC core subsystem allows a local authenticated user to trigger spurious WARN_ON panics or system instability on MMC-enabled devices. The root cause is that host->claimed and retune control flags shared a single bitfield word; under concurrent access from __mmc_claim_host() and mmc_mq_queue_rq(), non-atomic RMW operations allow one thread's write to silently overwrite bits modified by another, corrupting MMC host state. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and EPSS sits at 0.02% (7th percentile), reflecting the narrow, race-window-dependent trigger and low attacker leverage on commodity systems.
CR8 write interception mismanagement in KVM's AMD SVM implementation crashes Windows guests on AMD hypervisors with AVIC enabled. When KVM emulates INIT→WFS sequences while AVIC is temporarily deactivated, the CR8 write intercept flag is not cleared upon AVIC reactivation, leaving it permanently enabled. In isolation this is a performance regression, but combined with the TPR synchronization flaw addressed by commit d02e48830e3f, the divergence between hardware-visible and guest-visible TPR values becomes fatal to Windows guests. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is 0.02% (7th percentile) and no CISA KEV listing exists.
Double-free condition in the Linux kernel's net-shapers subsystem allows local low-privileged attackers to corrupt kernel memory via the generic netlink interface. The flaw occurs because net_shaper_nl_get_doit() and net_shaper_nl_cap_get_doit() incorrectly call nlmsg_free() on a reply skb that was already consumed by genlmsg_reply(), enabling potential privilege escalation. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS scoring places exploitation probability at only 0.02%.
Kernel availability disruption in the Linux lan78xx USB-to-Ethernet driver allows a local user with low privileges to trigger a kernel WARN in __netif_napi_del_locked() by disconnecting an affected USB Ethernet adapter. The root cause is a redundant netif_napi_del() call in the driver's disconnect path while NAPI processing is still active, conflicting with the teardown that unregister_netdev() performs automatically. No public exploit exists and EPSS is 0.02% (4th percentile), indicating very low real-world exploitation interest; this is primarily a stability and denial-of-service concern on embedded and desktop Linux systems using the SMSC/Microchip LAN78xx adapter family.
System hang via Machine Check Error (MCE) in the Linux kernel's Intel i915 DRM driver affects ICL (Ice Lake) generation GPU hardware when VRR timing registers are written before TRANS_DDI_FUNC_CTL is enabled, violating Intel BSpec 22243. Local low-privilege users on ICL systems - particularly those with external displays connected through USB-C docks experiencing link training failure - can trigger an unrecoverable system hang. No public exploit exists and EPSS is 0.02%, consistent with the hardware-specific, condition-dependent nature of the bug; no active exploitation is confirmed.
Local privilege escalation potential exists in the Linux kernel's IIO chemical sensor subsystem, specifically the sps30_i2c driver, where an incorrect sizeof() calculation in sps30_i2c_read_meas() uses sizeof(size_t) instead of sizeof(*meas), creating a buffer size mismatch. Affecting Linux kernel versions from 5.14 onward, the flaw could lead to memory corruption or out-of-bounds access when handling measurement data from Sensirion SPS30 particulate matter sensors over I2C. EPSS is very low at 0.02% and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but a CVSS of 7.8 reflects high local impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
aria2c fails to properly validate Extended Key Usage (EKU) constraints in TLS server certificates, allowing attackers who possess a compromised certificate issued for a different purpose to impersonate legitimate servers. This undermines certificate-based authentication and enables man-in-the-middle attacks against aria2c downloads over HTTPS, potentially leading to delivery of malicious files or interception of sensitive data.
Uncontrolled recursion in protobufjs versions prior to 7.5.8 and 8.2.0 allows remote attackers to exhaust the JavaScript call stack by providing crafted JSON descriptors with deeply nested namespace definitions to Root.fromJSON() or Namespace.addJSON(), causing a denial of service. The vulnerability requires only network access and no authentication, though exploitation depends on the application parsing untrusted protobuf JSON descriptors.
Ecommerce Systempay 1.0 contains a weak cryptographic implementation vulnerability that allows attackers to brute force the 16-character production secret key used for payment signature generation. Rated critical severity (CVSS 9.3), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity. Public exploit code available and no vendor patch available.
Memory disclosure and denial-of-service in NGINX's SCGI and uWSGI proxy modules allow attackers with man-in-the-middle position between NGINX and upstream servers to read worker process memory or crash the service. Affects both NGINX Open Source and NGINX Plus when scgi_pass or uwsgi_pass directives are configured. The vulnerability requires network positioning between NGINX and its backend servers (AV:N with AT:P - Present attack complexity), making exploitation dependent on network architecture. No public exploit identified at time of analysis. CVSS 8.3 (High) reflects potential for confidential data exposure but limited by MITM prerequisite.
Heap buffer over-read in NGINX's ngx_http_charset_module allows unauthenticated remote attackers to leak sensitive memory or crash worker processes when specific configuration directives (charset, source_charset, charset_map, and proxy_pass with buffering disabled) are combined. The vulnerability requires attacker-controlled conditions that depend on factors outside the attacker's control, limiting exploitability but creating real risk for affected deployments. CVSS 4.8 reflects the conditional nature of exploitation and limited scope of impact (information disclosure or availability).
Heap-use-after-free in NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source allows unauthenticated remote attackers to trigger memory corruption in the worker process when ssl_verify_client is set to 'on' or 'optional' and ssl_ocsp is configured with a resolver. Exploitation can cause limited information disclosure or worker process restart, with CVSS 4.8 reflecting moderate impact constrained by high attack complexity. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.
Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) denial-of-service in F5 BIG-IP DNS affects systems with DNS cache-enabled profiles on virtual servers. Remote unauthenticated attackers can crash TMM using undisclosed malicious traffic patterns, causing complete service disruption. CVSS 7.5 High severity with network vector and low complexity. EPSS data not available; no confirmed active exploitation or public POC identified at time of analysis. Vendor patch available per F5 K000160945.
Incorrect permission assignment in BIG-IP and BIG-IQ TMOS Shell (tmsh) network diagnostics commands and iControl REST allows authenticated attackers to view network status of destination systems. Affected versions vary by product line; vendor has released patches. Authentication is required, limiting exposure to users with valid credentials, but the high confidentiality impact (CVSS 6.5) makes this a material information disclosure risk for organizations managing sensitive network infrastructure.
Arbitrary command execution in F5 BIG-IP and BIG-IQ Certificate Manager allows highly privileged attackers with Certificate Manager role to run OS commands by modifying configuration objects. The vulnerability requires network access and high privileges (PR:H) but enables scope change (S:C) with high confidentiality and integrity impact. Vendor-released patch available per F5 Security Advisory K000160971. EPSS data not provided; no confirmed active exploitation (not in CISA KEV) or public exploit code identified at time of analysis.
F5 BIG-IP iControl REST API allows authenticated attackers to enumerate local user account names through undisclosed requests, leading to information disclosure of administrative user identities. The vulnerability requires valid authentication credentials and network access to the iControl REST interface, affecting systems with BIG-IP versions that have not reached End of Technical Support. CVSS 4.3 (low) reflects the requirement for prior authentication and confidentiality-only impact, though the enumeration of administrative accounts could facilitate downstream attacks.
Incorrect permission assignment in F5 BIG-IP and BIG-IQ TMOS Shell (tmsh) arp and ndp commands, and in BIG-IP iControl REST allows authenticated attackers to view sensitive adjacent network information due to improper access controls. The vulnerability affects multiple product lines and requires valid authentication to exploit, making it a privilege escalation concern for environments where lower-privileged users have access to management interfaces.
Resource exhaustion in BIG-IP Configuration utility allows remote unauthenticated attackers to trigger file descriptor exhaustion in the httpd process when LDAP authentication is enabled. The attack achieves complete denial of service (CVSS A:H) through network-accessible undisclosed traffic patterns. F5 has released patches addressing this vulnerability. EPSS data not available, not listed in CISA KEV, indicating no confirmed widespread exploitation at time of analysis.
F5 BIG-IP TMOS shell (tmsh) allows authenticated administrators and resource administrators to execute arbitrary system commands with elevated privileges via an undisclosed command, potentially crossing security boundaries in Appliance mode deployments. The vulnerability requires high-privilege account access and local command-line interaction but poses significant risk to appliance-mode BIG-IP systems where privilege escalation could compromise the entire platform.
Authenticated high-privilege attackers with Resource Administrator or Administrator roles can download sensitive files from F5 BIG-IP iControl SOAP interface due to improper path validation. The vulnerability requires valid administrative credentials and does not affect versions that have reached End of Technical Support, limiting exposure to actively maintained deployments. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified.
F5 BIG-IP iControl REST allows authenticated attackers with Manager role or higher to execute arbitrary commands through malicious configuration objects. This authenticated remote code execution vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 7.2 but requires high privileges (Manager role), significantly limiting the attack surface to insider threats or compromised administrator accounts. No public exploitation or proof-of-concept has been identified at time of analysis, and F5 has released vendor patches per advisory K000160916.
Authenticated attackers with Manager role or higher in F5 BIG-IP can execute arbitrary commands via malicious configuration objects in iControl REST API and TMOS Shell (tmsh).

CVSS 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates straightforward remote exploitation with high availability impact. EPSS data not provided, but F5 has released a vendor patch (K000160875). No public exploit or CISA KEV listing identified at time of analysis.
F5 BIG-IP DNS when provisioned contains an undisclosed TMOS Shell (tmsh) command vulnerability allowing highly privileged authenticated attackers to view sensitive information. The vulnerability requires high-privilege account access and local shell access (AV:L, PR:H), limiting real-world exploitation to insider threats or post-compromise scenarios where an attacker has already obtained administrative credentials on the management interface.
Information disclosure in F5 BIG-IP Configuration utility allows low-privileged authenticated attackers to access sensitive information through undisclosed pages, affecting the confidentiality of administrative data without requiring user interaction or privileged credentials beyond standard authentication.
Denial of service in F5 BIG-IP affects the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) when Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) is configured with static or dynamic routing protocols. Undisclosed traffic patterns cause TMM to stop processing BFD packets, triggering unintended failover of the configured routing protocol. Remote unauthenticated attackers can trigger this condition over the network with low complexity, resulting in availability loss for BFD-dependent routing operations.
BIG-IP QKView utility fails to properly sanitize sensitive data in diagnostic files, allowing authenticated attackers to extract confidential information including credentials and system configuration details. The vulnerability affects both BIG-IP and BIG-IQ platforms and requires valid user credentials to exploit, limiting exposure to insider threats and compromised accounts within authorized access tiers.
Incorrect permission assignment in F5 BIG-IP iControl REST and TMOS shell (tmsh) allows authenticated attackers to view sensitive information through an undisclosed command. The vulnerability affects BIG-IP systems and requires valid credentials but no user interaction to exploit, enabling confidentiality compromise of data restricted to higher-privilege accounts.
BIG-IP DNS provisioning exposes SSH passwords in cleartext within iControl REST API responses and audit logs when using the gtm_add and bigip_add commands, allowing highly privileged authenticated attackers with audit log access to retrieve sensitive credentials. The vulnerability affects all supported BIG-IP DNS versions and carries a CVSS score of 4.4 with low real-world exploitation risk due to the requirement for local access and high privilege level.
Sensitive information disclosure in F5 BIG-IP and BIG-IQ allows authenticated administrators with resource administrator role to view confidential data via undisclosed iControl REST endpoints or TMOS Shell commands. The vulnerability requires high-privilege authentication and produces no system modification or availability impact, limiting real-world risk despite network accessibility. Vendor has released patches addressing the information exposure.
IP-based access control restrictions in F5 BIG-IP httpd do not uniformly apply to all endpoints, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers from blocked IP addresses to access protected resources and disclose sensitive information. The vulnerability affects default configurations where network-based access policies are expected to enforce restrictions across the entire application stack, but certain endpoints bypass these controls. A vendor patch is available.
Local File Inclusion vulnerability in RTMKit Addons for Elementor plugin versions up to 2.0.2 allows authenticated attackers with Author-level privileges to include and execute arbitrary PHP files via the 'path' parameter in the 'get_content' AJAX action, enabling remote code execution. The vulnerability requires low-privilege WordPress account access (Author role or higher) and has a CVSS score of 8.8, indicating high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability. EPSS data not available, but exploitation requires specific WordPress role assignment, limiting attack surface to sites where untrusted users have Author-level access. No active exploitation confirmed by CISA KEV at time of analysis.
ELECOM wireless LAN access point models WAB-BE187-M, WAB-BE72-M, WAB-BE36-M, and WAB-BE36-S fail to validate the language parameter in administrative pages, allowing remote attackers to break the admin interface for logged-in users via malicious web pages. The vulnerability requires user interaction (viewing a malicious page while authenticated to the access point) and results in denial of service of the administrative interface rather than data exposure or unauthorized access. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.
Unauthenticated remote access to ELECOM wireless LAN access points (WRC-BE72XSD, WRC-BE65QSD, WRC-W702 models) allows attackers to perform administrative operations via specific URLs that bypass authentication (CWE-288). With CVSS 4.0 score 9.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N), this represents a critical access control failure enabling complete device compromise over the network. EPSS data not available; no confirmed active exploitation (not in CISA KEV) or public POC identified at time of analysis, though the vendor advisory from ELECOM and JPCERT coordination suggests real-world discovery.
ELECOM wireless LAN access point devices WRC-X1800GS-B, WRC-X3000GS2 series, WRC-X6000QS series, and related models use a hard-coded cryptographic key to encrypt configuration file backups. An attacker who obtains a backup file can decrypt and modify the configuration using the publicly known key, then trick a network administrator into restoring the malicious configuration, enabling complete compromise of network settings. This requires user interaction (administrator deploying a crafted backup) but no authentication, making it a practical attack vector for supply-chain compromise or insider threats. CVSS 6.5 (Medium) reflects the high integrity impact balanced against the requirement for administrator interaction.
csync2 compiled with C99 or later creates insecure temporary directories vulnerable to time-of-check-time-of-use (TOCTOU) attacks, allowing local authenticated users with user interaction to cause denial of service through symlink or directory manipulation. The vulnerability affects OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and requires local access with low privileges and user interaction to exploit.
