A path traversal vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-67185, exists in TinyWeb through version 0.0.8, allowing unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files by submitting '..' sequences in the URL path, bypassing security checks and potentially exposing sensitive data like credential stores or private keys when the server runs with root privileges.

A null pointer dereference vulnerability, CVE-2026-67184, in TinyWeb through version 0.0.8 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to crash worker processes by sending a malformed HTTP request line with an invalid version string, leading to a denial of service.

A critical memory leak vulnerability, CVE-2026-67183, in TinyWeb versions up to 0.0.8 allows unauthenticated attackers to exhaust server memory by sending ordinary HTTP requests, leading to worker process termination and denial of service.

An HTTP request smuggling vulnerability, identified as CVE-2026-67182, in Rouille versions 0.3.3 through 3.6.2 allows remote attackers to bypass access controls by injecting bare line feed characters (0x0A) into client-supplied request header values, causing upstream backends to misinterpret subsequent data as a separate, attacker-controlled HTTP request.

A vulnerability, CVE-2026-16313, exists in the `sg_inq` command of `sg3_utils` on Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems, allowing an attacker who can present a specially crafted SCSI device to inject arbitrary properties into the `udev` device database by embedding a newline character in the device's name string, leading to arbitrary command execution as root when the device is disconnected.

The pytonapi library, specifically version 2.2.0, contains an authentication bypass vulnerability (GHSA-3fcr-jvgp-7f58) in its TonapiWebhookDispatcher, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to send forged payloads to custom webhook endpoints, triggering victim-defined business logic and causing integrity impact.

A denial-of-service vulnerability (CVE-2026-54632) exists in the SIPSorcery NuGet package versions <= 10.0.8, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to remotely terminate an active RTP or WebRTC media session by sending a single malformed inbound UDP packet to the RTP/ICE socket, which exploits insufficient length checks and an exception handling flaw.

Poweradmin versions earlier than 4.2.4 and from 4.3.0 up to, but not including, 4.3.3 are vulnerable to CVE-2026-54588, a critical Host Header Injection flaw in OIDC, SAML, and logout authentication flows that allows an unauthenticated attacker to manipulate the HTTP_HOST header, poisoning callback URLs to redirect authorization codes to an attacker-controlled server, leading to full account takeover and potential full DNS zone control.

An unauthenticated attacker can exploit an unbounded RECONNECT_REQUEST forwarding vulnerability in QTINeon's NeonRelay component to amplify denial-of-service attacks against a connected host. By sending spoofed RECONNECT_REQUEST packets, the relay forwards each one to the host without proper deduplication or rate limiting, consuming host resources. Additionally, excessive spoofed IPs can reset legitimate rate limiting, further impacting service availability. This vulnerability affects Java, Python, and TypeScript implementations of NeonRelay.
