CVE-2026-95814
Vaultwarden through 1.37.3 omits organization membership status validation from three cipher access-restriction queries, allowing revoked and not-yet-confirmed members to retain read, write, delete, and attachment access to organization ciphers. Attackers with revoked or pending membership can exploit missing status filters in get_user_collections_access_flags, get_group_collections_access_flags, and is_in_full_access_group to access protected cipher data server-side.

Improper validation of the Destination Connection ID length in s2n-quic 1.88.0 and earlier may allow an unauthenticated remote user to cause a denial of service by shutting down a server endpoint via a single crafted UDP datagram. Only server endpoints specifically configured to send Retry packets are affected. To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to version v1.89.0 or later.

CVE-2026-67615
openEQUELLA before 2026.1.0 contains an authenticated remote code execution vulnerability that allows any authenticated non-guest user to execute arbitrary code by exploiting Java deserialization in the HTTP invoker endpoint at /invoker/*. Attackers can bypass the class-name denylist enforced by PluginAwareObjectInputStream by nesting a serialized payload inside a java.security.SignedObject, causing the inner stream to be deserialized by a separate ObjectInputStream that does not apply the denylist, ultimately reaching a JNDI sink and enabling code execution.

CVE-2026-88419
An unrestricted upload of files with a dangerous type in the thumbnail-upload endpoint (/index.php?m=member&f=article&v=thumbUpload) of WuzhiCMS 5.0.0 allows an authenticated low-privileged member to upload a crafted .php file and execute arbitrary PHP code on the server, because the stored file extension is taken verbatim from the client-supplied filename with no extension allowlist or content validation and the file is written to the web-accessible uploadfile/ directory, from which the web server executes PHP.
