CVE-2026-84939: Apache FreeMarker: A malformed locale may be exploitable for path traversal attacks

Apache FreeMarker CVE-2026-84939 permits path traversal via a malformed locale in template loading; fixed in FreeMarker 2.3.35.

A path traversal vulnerability in Apache FreeMarker's template loading mechanism can be triggered when an attacker controls a malformed locale value. FreeMarker 2.2.0 through 2.3.34 are affected for both the org.freemarker:freemarker and freemarker-gae artifacts, while 2.3.35 is unaffected. No exploitation or CVSS details were included in the announcement.

CVE-2026-82427: Apache Storm Nimbus: Path Traversal as the Supervisor User via Unsanitised Blobstore Map Local Name

Unsanitised topology.blobstore.map local names in Apache Storm enable path traversal writes on supervisors as the supervisor user.

CVE-2026-82427 affects Apache Storm Nimbus (org.apache.storm:storm-server) versions 3.0.0 before 3.1.0, rated important. Topology submitters can choose a local name for each blob in topology.blobstore.map, which AsyncLocalizer and Container.createBlobstoreLinks used to build paths under the topology's working directory without normalisation. Crafted names allow path traversal, letting a submitter create or overwrite files outside the intended directory on supervisors, with symlink handling also affected. Fixed in version 3.1.0.

CVE-2026-78254: Apache Ant: Path traversal in ftp and scp tasks allows arbitrary file write

Apache Ant 1.2 before 1.10.18 ftp and scp tasks allow path traversal, letting malicious servers overwrite arbitrary files (CVE-2026-78254).

CVE-2026-78254 affects Apache Ant (org.apache.ant:ant) versions 1.2 before 1.10.18 and is rated moderate. The ftp and scp tasks download files from a remote server, and a malicious server can supply relative paths that write outside the dedicated target directory, overwriting attacker-chosen files with the permissions of the user running Ant. The issue is fixed in Apache Ant 1.10.18.

Flextype v1.0.0-alpha.3 CMS registerShortcodes() Remote Code Execution via Attacker-Controlled File Inclusion

Flextype CMS v1.0.0-alpha.3 allows PHP remote code execution via path traversal in the Entries API combined with shortcode file inclusion.

Flextype CMS v1.0.0-alpha.3 exposes a remote code execution path through the interaction of the Entries API and Shortcodes::registerShortcodes(). The /api/v1/entries endpoint accepts attacker-controlled entry identifiers containing path traversal sequences, allowing PHP-containing content to be written outside the intended entries directory. A subsequent attacker-controlled path can then be included and executed as PHP. Ron E posted the disclosure to the Full Disclosure mailing list on September 3, 2026.

Two Unitree G1 EDU Humanoid Robot Flaws Enable Root RCE, One Starts Over Bluetooth

Researcher disclosed two root RCE chains in Unitree G1 EDU robots (CVE-2026-76639, CVE-2026-76640), one reachable via unpaired Bluetooth, with no confirmed fixed firmware.

Security researcher Olivier Laflamme disclosed two independent root remote code execution chains in the Unitree G1 EDU robot: CVE-2026-76639, a network-adjacent path through chat_go and bashrunner, and CVE-2026-76640, a Bluetooth Low Energy path that ends with a 1,050-byte buffer overflow in btgatt-server giving root on the Locomotion PC. The BLE chain also exploits a cloud authorization gap that let any valid Unitree account recover another robot's AES key, then forces the robot onto an attacker hotspot via wpa_connect.sh heredoc injection. Unitree patched the cloud ownership check in July 2026, but no confirmed fixed firmware release addresses the BLE issues; the PoC was limited to two robots in one room and no in-the-wild exploitation is reported.

Hack One Robot, Reach the Next: Unitree G1 Security Flaws

Researcher chained two Unitree G1 flaws (CVE-2026-76639, CVE-2026-76640) to gain unauthenticated root access, with compromised robots able to infect others via Bluetooth.

Security researcher Olivier Laflamme chained a path-traversal file-write flaw (CVE-2026-76639) in the G1 chatbot service and a Bluetooth server buffer overflow (CVE-2026-76640) to achieve unauthenticated root access remotely. The chain abuses Unitree's cloud API as a decryption oracle for the AES-128 key that unlocks BLE and WebRTC channels, and a compromised robot can propagate the attack to nearby G1 units. Unitree patched the cloud ownership-check flaw, paid a $5,000 bounty, and firmware fixes for BLE pairing and the buffer overflow remain harder to deliver.

VU#614868: OpenCart ecommerce platform contains directory traversal vulnerability

OpenCart 4.2.0.0 extension installer fails to validate zip extraction paths, allowing directory traversal (CVE-2026-18412) to write files outside intended directories.

CERT/CC VU#614868 discloses CVE-2026-18412, a directory traversal vulnerability in OpenCart v4.2.0.0's extension installer. The installer extracts uploaded .ocmod.zip files using zip entry filenames as filesystem paths without verifying the resolved path stays inside the intended directory. A malicious extension zip could result in arbitrary file writes outside the target directory.
