Description

Type confusion in PostgreSQL allows an object creator to execute arbitrary code as the operating system user running the database, via ALTER ... SET DATA TYPE primarily. Other DDL attack routes exist, such as "ALTER TABLE ... ADD COLUMN; ROLLBACK; ALTER TABLE ... ADD COLUMN". The system had inadequate tracking of typed values, and values were not self-identifying. Stale values could appear in data dictionary entries, PL/pgSQL variables, and many other parts of the system. PostgreSQL Versions before PostgreSQL 18.7, 17.12, 16.16, 15.20, and 14.25 are affected.

CVE-2026-71531
PrestaShop before 8.2.9 and 9.2.1 contains an authorization flaw in the Webservice API that allows an attacker holding a key restricted to one shop to act on data of every shop by submitting requests with id_shop=all or id_shop_group=N, which expand the shop context without validating the key's actual shop associations and cause shopHasRight() to evaluate the expanded set as a disjunction. Attackers can exploit this flaw via classes/webservice/WebserviceRequest.php to read, modify, or delete data belonging to shops they are not authorized for, including full customer records such as email addresses, secure_key, and password hashes across the installation.

CVE-2026-71519
PrestaShop before 8.2.9 and 9.2.1 contains a broken access control vulnerability that allows an authenticated Webservice API key holder to read and modify customer records belonging to any shop in a multi-shop installation. Attackers can exploit the missing record-level shop ownership check in shopHasRight() and saveEntityFromXml() to read sensitive customer data such as password hashes and secure keys, and change a customer's email and password via create, update, and delete requests, resulting in account takeover.

CVE-2026-128134
NLTK (Natural Language Toolkit) is a suite of open source Python modules, data sets, and tutorials supporting research and development in Natural Language Processing. Prior to 3.10.4, nltk.parse.dependencygraph.dot2img resolves the Graphviz dot executable through PATH but invokes the resulting absolute executable without routing through spawn_trusted, so resolve_trusted_executable ownership and writability validation and safe_env loader environment scrubbing do not run. A local low-privileged attacker who can write to a directory on a POSIX victim's PATH can plant or replace dot, and code executes as the victim when dot2img is called directly or DependencyGraph.repr_svg renders a graph. The current-working-directory-only bare-name vector is blocked and is not this vulnerability; this issue is the residual writable absolute PATH element bypass after CVE-2026-78680. This issue is fixed in version 3.10.4.

CVE-2026-9661
Poste Italiane Postecert FIRMAOK! 1.6.29 on Windows contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability caused by an uncontrolled OpenSSL search path, where launcher.exe and dependent executables such as updater.exe and tslupdater.exe load OpenSSL configuration and library files from a hardcoded, user-writable directory that does not exist by default. A low-privileged local attacker can create this missing directory and place malicious OpenSSL configuration or library files inside it, causing the application to load and execute attacker-controlled code with the privileges of the user running it, enabling horizontal or, when a higher-privileged user runs the application, vertical privilege escalation up to full system compromise.
