CVE-2026-67620
Flowise through 3.1.4 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in the SSRF guard implemented in httpSecurity.ts, where the DEFAULT_DENY_LIST omits the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure metadata endpoint 192.0.0.192 and the Alibaba Cloud metadata endpoint 100.100.100.200, allowing authenticated attackers to force the server to issue arbitrary GET requests to cloud instance metadata services. Attackers can send requests to the fetch-links API endpoint with a crafted URL parameter, bypassing deny-list validation including redirect-based bypasses, to reach instance metadata services and expose instance identity data and role credentials on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure or Alibaba Cloud deployments, with unauthenticated access possible when URL-fetching nodes exist in public chatflows.

CVE-2026-42170
A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the GIMP DDS (DirectDraw Surface) file parser. When a crafted DDS file declares a D3D9 pixel format but sets a lower bits-per-pixel (bpp) value in the header, the loader allocates an undersized heap buffer. Subsequent pixel data consumption at the real format's stride causes a write past the heap buffer boundary, leading to heap metadata corruption and potential code execution.

CVE-2026-19263
A vulnerability was found in INQUIRELAB mcp-bridge-api up to b30a82aa1d1d1139e0de846c41c8aadee6e06114. The impacted element is an unknown function of the file mcp-bridge.js of the component Servers Endpoint. Performing a manipulation of the argument command/args results in command injection. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. This product is using a rolling release to provide continious delivery. Therefore, no version details for affected nor updated releases are available. The pull request to fix this issue awaits acceptance.

CVE-2026-52880
Klever-Go is the Go implementation of the Klever blockchain protocol. Versions from 1.7.14 through 1.7.17 are vulnerable to a remotely triggerable denial of service. Both REST APIs are started with the Gin Engine.Run convenience method, which serves requests through Go's default HTTP server with no ReadHeaderTimeout, ReadTimeout, or MaxHeaderBytes configured. As a result, incoming connections that never complete their request headers are held open indefinitely. When a REST listener is reachable beyond localhost through the documented all-interface bind or a Docker port-publish deployment, a single unauthenticated client can open many slow-header connections and hold them open until server file descriptors are exhausted, preventing the API from accepting new connections. This renders the REST API unavailable to legitimate clients. This issue is fixed in version 1.7.18.

CVE-2026-52879
Klever-Go is the Go implementation of the Klever blockchain protocol. In versions 1.7.14 through 1.7.17, the direct-message ingress handler spawns a new goroutine for every incoming direct message before the processor-level antiflood layer makes any admission decision, with no semaphore, throttler, or bound on the number of concurrent in-flight spawns. Because the antiflood check runs inside the spawned goroutine rather than before it, a single connected peer can open a direct-send stream and send a stream of well-formed messages to force unbounded goroutine creation, where each goroutine allocates its own stack and holds a message reference until processing completes, adding scheduler and garbage-collection pressure faster than the runtime can drain it. This lets one peer degrade the node's availability and its ability to process legitimate traffic, resulting in a remotely triggerable denial of service. The issue is fixed in 1.7.18.
