Parallels Desktop Flaw Lets Non-Admin Mac Users Gain Root, but Intel Macs Can't Install Fix
JFrog disclosed CVE-2026-90894, a 7.8-rated local privilege escalation in Parallels Desktop for Mac, patched only in version 27, which Intel Macs cannot install.
JFrog researcher Yuval Moravchick disclosed CVE-2026-90894 (dubbed ParaShells, CVSS 7.8), a local privilege escalation in Parallels Desktop for Mac that lets non-admin users run code as root. The root-level prl_disp_service listens on a world-writable socket, and argument injection into a tar command via QProcess::splitCommand and the --use-compress-program option yields code execution as root, demonstrated on Parallels Desktop 26.4.0 build 57513 on Apple silicon. The fix appears in version 27.0.0, but Parallels Desktop 27 requires Apple silicon, leaving Intel Macs on the 26.x line with no build JFrog describes as fixed. No exploitation in the wild has been reported and Parallels has not published a statement.

PostgreSQL Hit by 12-Year-Old Vulnerability Allowing Server Takeover
PostgreSQL flaw CVE-2026-6471, present since 2014, lets low-privilege replication accounts execute code and take over database servers; patches released.
Cyera researchers disclosed PostGREShell (CVE-2026-6471, CVSS 7.2), a missing-authorization bug in PostgreSQL logical decoding that lets users with REPLICATION privilege dlopen arbitrary files and execute code as the server account. The flaw affects PostgreSQL 9.4 through 18 and can yield privilege escalation, permanent superuser access and persistent backdoors on Windows, Linux and macOS. Fixes are available in versions 18.6, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19 and 14.24. Defenders should update and remove unnecessary Replication privileges.
