Broadcom VMWare ESX Insufficient Logging Vulnerability
Broadcom VMWare ESX contains an insufficient logging vulnerability that could allow a malicious actor with admin access to perform certain operations without being logged.Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable Vulnerability
Linux Kernel contains a missing initialization of a variable vulnerability that could allow for unintended modification of page-cache-backed data via failure to preserve the shared-fragment marker during socket buffer coalescing, causing ESP input processing to decrypt shared fragments in place. This vulnerability can be chained with CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619 to implant PHP webshells and run commands as root.Adobe Commerce and Magento Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type Vulnerability
Adobe Commerce and Magento contain an unrestricted upload of file with dangerous type vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user, potentially gaining elevated access or control over the victim's account or session.Google Brotli Unchecked Return Value Vulnerability
Google Brotli contains an unchecked return value vulnerability that allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to corrupt adjacent decoder state memory, disclose sensitive memory contents, cause a denial of service, or potentially execute arbitrary code using a crafted Brotli-compressed stream.PHP Memory Corruption Vulnerability
PHP contains an out-of-memory corruption vulnerability that allows for unauthenticated remote code execution.PHP Stale Internal Request-State Vulnerability
PHP contains a stale internal request-state vulnerability that allows for unauthenticated remote code execution.“Live” means the feed updates from current public reporting. It does not identify every attack or prove the physical location of an attacker.
