Critical ArangoDB Bugs Expose Entire Databases and Enable Remote Code Execution as Root
Two critical ArangoDB flaws (CVSS 9.8/9.9) allow unauthenticated API access and root-level code execution; fixed in 3.12.11.
Remedio researchers reported two critical ArangoDB flaws on August 23, 2026: an authentication bypass via URL-encoded underscores (%5f) in path parsing (GHSA-rrgq-978q-36mq, CVSS 9.8) and a task-execution flaw where a client-controlled isSystem flag lets JavaScript run in the internal context (GHSA-rvhw-4hpw-9vrx, CVSS 9.9). Chained, they allow unauthenticated database access, theft of root password hashes, and root-level code execution when arangod runs as root, such as in the official container image. Patches shipped August 31 in ArangoDB 3.12.11, with GitHub Security Advisories published September 6; CVE identifiers were pending at disclosure time.
Telegram Desktop XSS Vulnerability Lets Attackers Steal Entire Chat Histories
Stored XSS in Telegram Desktop HTML chat exports (CVSS 8.2) could let attacker-controlled inline keyboard buttons steal full chat histories.
ExPatch researchers Denis and Aleksander Rostilov found a stored XSS in Telegram Desktop's HTML chat export pipeline affecting builds before Beta 6.9.4 and Stable 7.0.1. Unsanitized inline keyboard button text becomes executable JavaScript when a user exports a chat and opens the HTML file in a browser, exposing messages, metadata, and local file paths, and enabling phishing overlays. Telegram patched the issue in commit 8457d13a during July 2026; no CVE had been assigned at disclosure time.
Critical ArangoDB Flaws Allow Authentication Bypass and Remote Code Execution as Root
Two critical ArangoDB flaws (CVSS 9.8 and 9.9) enable unauthenticated API access and root code execution; fixes shipped in version 3.12.11
Remedio researchers found two ArangoDB flaws: GHSA-rrgq-978q-36mq (CVSS 9.8), an authentication bypass caused by the server inconsistently interpreting URL-encoded '/_api' paths, and GHSA-rvhw-4hpw-9vrx (CVSS 9.9), which lets users with database write access run JavaScript tasks with root privileges via the isSystem flag. Chained, they allow administrative database access without credentials, theft of the root password hash, and root code execution, exposing files such as /etc/shadow, TLS keys and cluster signing material on the official container image. ArangoDB shipped fixes in version 3.12.11 on August 31, 2026, with advisories published September 6; CVE identifiers were still pending. Users on 3.12.10.1 or earlier should upgrade, restrict exposure and rotate potentially exposed credentials.

Critical WSO2 Vulnerability Allow Hackers to Gain Full Admin Access
WSO2 discloses CVE-2026-5430 (CVSS 10.0), an unauthenticated JWT authentication bypass allowing admin account takeover across its API management products.
WSO2 disclosed CVE-2026-5430, a critical authentication bypass (CVSS 10.0; 9.8 for single-tenant deployments) in advisory WSO2-2026-5328. The flaw stems from insecure JWT processing: tokens signed with unsupported algorithms bypass authentication checks, potentially granting unauthenticated attackers administrative access. Affected products include WSO2 API Control Plane 4.5.0-4.6.0, API Manager 4.1.0-4.6.0, Traffic Manager 4.5.0-4.6.0, and Universal Gateway 4.5.0-4.6.0. Fixes are available via update levels such as API Manager 4.6.0 update 21 or by migrating to unaffected releases.
Telegram Desktop Flaw Lets Hidden JavaScript Exfiltrate Messages From HTML Exports
Telegram Desktop HTML export XSS (CVSS 8.2) let bot messages exfiltrate exported chats; fixed in 7.0.1 but old exports stay vulnerable.
ExPatch researchers found that Telegram Desktop versions 4.15.1 (March 2024) through 6.9.3 wrote bot inline-keyboard button text into HTML chat exports without escaping, allowing a bot to plant invisible JavaScript. When a user opened the export in a browser, the script could exfiltrate every message in that 1,000-message file, rewrite the displayed content, or fake a verification form. The flaw (rated CVSS 3.1 8.2) was fixed by commit 8457d13a in 6.9.4 beta (July 3, 2026) and 7.0.1 stable (July 14, 2026), but pre-fix exports remain dangerous since updating the app does not fix old files. No CVE identifier or Telegram security advisory exists, and no exploitation in the wild is claimed.
MapLibre Vulnerability Exposes 2.7M Users to Zero-Click Attacks
Critical XSS CVE-2026-85061 in MapLibre GL JS enables zero-click attacks on an estimated 2.7 million users; fixed in maplibre-gl 6.4.1.
A flaw in MapLibre GL JS's DOM.sanitize() iterates a live NamedNodeMap while removing attributes, skipping malicious attributes placed adjacent to removed ones, letting event handlers like onload and ontoggle survive and execute via innerHTML in the attribution control. Tracked as CVE-2026-85061 and GHSA-jrc7-96c5-q579, the flaw affects maplibre-gl versions 6.4.0 and earlier, is rated critical under CVSS v3.1 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N), and requires no user interaction, privileges, or authentication. Exploitation could enable session theft, unauthorized actions, phishing redirects, or map content manipulation; the patch in 6.4.1 snapshots attributes with Array.from before iterating.
Critical MapLibre GL JS Vulnerability Enables Zero-Click XSS Attacks
MapLibre GL JS 6.4.1 patches CVE-2026-85061, a critical zero-click XSS in DOM.sanitize() affecting versions 6.4.0 and earlier.
A critical cross-site scripting vulnerability, CVE-2026-85061 (GHSA-jrc7-96c5-q579), affects maplibre-gl versions 6.4.0 and earlier and is fixed in 6.4.1. The flaw stems from DOM.sanitize() iterating a live NamedNodeMap while deleting attributes, causing the sanitizer to skip adjacent dangerous event-handler attributes that later execute via innerHTML. GitHub rates the issue Critical with CVSS v3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N, exploitable without user interaction when untrusted attribution strings are rendered. Organizations should upgrade to 6.4.1 or later, rebuild affected bundles, and sanitize attribution fields as an interim measure.
Windows BitLocker Flaw Lets Attackers Execute Code on Vulnerable Systems
Microsoft patched CVE-2026-69449, a heap-based buffer overflow in Windows BitLocker allowing privileged local attackers to execute code; no exploitation reported.
Microsoft disclosed CVE-2026-69449 on September 8, 2026, an Important-severity heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122) in Windows BitLocker with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.7. The attack vector is local (AV:L) with high privileges required, so exploitation needs privileged local access rather than remote access over the internet. Microsoft, as assigned CNA, has not reported public exploitation, and administrators are urged to inventory BitLocker-enabled systems and apply updates. Interim mitigations include least-privilege access, limiting administrative rights, and monitoring for unexpected elevated process activity.
