SurrealDB Default Permissions Vulnerability

SurrealDB versions prior to 1.0.1 are vulnerable due to default table permissions being set to FULL instead of NONE, allowing attackers with existing database access or unauthenticated users on publicly exposed instances to perform unrestricted SELECT, CREATE, UPDATE, and DELETE operations on tables that lack explicit permission settings, leading to unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion.

AWS Cognito Unauthenticated Identity Pool Credentials Issued

This threat involves adversaries obtaining temporary AWS credentials from a misconfigured Cognito Identity Pool without authentication. If a Cognito Identity Pool is set to allow unauthenticated (guest) access and its associated unauthenticated IAM role has overly broad permissions, attackers can discover the pool ID, call `GetId`, and then `GetCredentialsForIdentity` to acquire AWS credentials. This grants them unauthorized access to AWS resources and sensitive data, bypassing typical authentication mechanisms.

Grav API Plugin Vulnerable to CORS Misconfiguration Allowing Data Exposure and Unauthorized Operations

The Grav API plugin before version 1.0.0-rc.16 contains a CORS misconfiguration that sets `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *` by default, enabling an attacker to perform authenticated cross-origin requests from a malicious website after obtaining a valid API token, leading to sensitive data exfiltration and unauthorized write operations.

Kimai Docker Image Default APP_SECRET Allows Account Takeover (CVE-2026-52824)

A critical vulnerability, CVE-2026-52824, in the official Kimai Docker image allows unauthenticated attackers to forge authentication tokens and achieve account takeover, including super_admin accounts, due to the image shipping with a default, publicly known APP_SECRET environment variable used by Symfony to HMAC-sign session cookies and login links.

Argo CD Helm Chart Vulnerability Exposes Internal APIs Leading to Cluster Compromise

A vulnerability, CVE-2026-62185, in the Argo CD Helm Chart before version 10.0.0 fails to install network policies by default, allowing any pod within a Kubernetes cluster to access critical Argo APIs, which attackers can exploit to achieve cluster compromise and remote code execution.

OpenSSH sshd GSSAPI Behavior Vulnerability CVE-2026-59998

CVE-2026-59998 describes an undocumented security-relevant behavior in sshd, a component of OpenSSH, specifically in versions prior to 10.4, where the GSSAPIStrictAcceptorCheck setting reportedly has no value when the server is operating within a Windows Active Directory environment.

Clauster Dashboard Unauthenticated Access Vulnerability

A Clauster instance deployed on a non-loopback address can be accessed unauthenticated, even if password protection is configured, due to auth.enabled defaulting to false. This allows an attacker with network access to gain full control of the dashboard, including listing projects, spawning remote-control bridges, editing files, reading logs, and cloning repositories, ultimately leading to remote code execution in project directories.

Cilium L7 Envoy Admin Socket Vulnerability (CVE-2026-49445)

When Cilium L7 functionality is enabled, a world-accessible Envoy admin socket is inadvertently created on cluster nodes. This misconfiguration (CVE-2026-49445) allows a local attacker to gain unauthorized access to Envoy's administrative endpoints, leading to sensitive information disclosure, such as the exposure of TLS secrets, and significant cluster disruption, including the interruption of traffic and the termination of Envoy processes.

AWS Lambda Layer Shared Externally

This brief identifies the critical risk of an AWS Lambda layer's permission policy being modified, typically via the `AddLayerVersionPermission` API, to grant external AWS accounts, AWS Organizations, or the public access, potentially leading to the leakage of proprietary code or secrets and creating a supply-chain vector for attacker-influenced code execution in downstream functions.

RPC (Remote Procedure Call) Services Exposed to the Internet

Threat actors frequently exploit internet-exposed Remote Procedure Call (RPC) services, primarily on port TCP/135, as an initial access or backdoor vector, leading to unauthorized system access, internal network compromise, and potentially data exfiltration or ransomware deployment.

goshs WebDAV Listener Bypasses Access Restriction Flags

A vulnerability (CVE-2026-50138) in `goshs` versions up to `v2.0.9` allows an authenticated attacker to bypass intended access restriction flags like `--read-only`, `--upload-only`, and `--no-delete` when the WebDAV listener is enabled, leading to unauthorized file creation, modification, deletion, and content exfiltration on the server, compromising data integrity and confidentiality.

PraisonAI A2U Incomplete Authentication Fix (GHSA-jxcw-qp4h-6jfq)

An incomplete fix in PraisonAI's `praisonai serve a2u` command leaves the A2U Agent-to-User event stream server unauthenticated by default, potentially exposing sensitive agent event streams to any attacker who can reach the server, bypassing intended authentication mechanisms for versions `4.5.115` to `4.6.60`.
