CVE-2026-82435: Apache Storm Worker: Unauthenticated Remote Memory Exhaustion in the Worker Messaging Decoder
Unauthenticated remote memory exhaustion in Apache Storm Worker 3.0.x Netty decoder fixed in 3.1.0, allowing pre-auth denial of service.
CVE-2026-82435 (rated important) affects Apache Storm Worker (org.apache.storm:storm-client) versions 3.0.0 before 3.1.0. The worker's Netty message decoder sits ahead of SASL authentication handlers and processes frames before any authentication occurs. It allocates buffers sized from an attacker-controlled length field, so a single frame from an unauthenticated peer reaching the worker can exhaust memory. Users must upgrade to 3.1.0.
2026-008: Critical vulnerabilities in Ivanti Sentry
Ivanti patched Sentry: pre-auth OS command injection CVE-2026-10520 (CVSS 10) enables unauthenticated root RCE, and auth bypass CVE-2026-10523 (CVSS 9.9).
On 9 June 2026 Ivanti released an advisory fixing two critical flaws in Ivanti Sentry versions 10.5.1 and prior, 10.6.1 and prior, and 10.7.0 and prior. CVE-2026-10520 (CVSS 10.0) is an OS command injection allowing a remote unauthenticated attacker to achieve root-level RCE. CVE-2026-10523 (CVSS 9.9) is an authentication bypass letting an unauthenticated attacker create arbitrary administrative accounts and obtain full admin access. CERT-EU recommends updating appliances to fixed versions following Ivanti's guidance.
U.S. CISA adds PaperCut NG/MF flaws to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog
CISA added two actively exploited PaperCut NG/MF pre-auth flaws to the KEV catalog; federal agencies must patch by September 14.
CISA added CVE-2026-81578 (CVSS 8.8, missing authentication for critical function) and CVE-2026-82078 (CVSS 9.4, unsafe reflection) in PaperCut NG/MF to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Huntress confirmed active pre-authentication RCE exploitation in two customer environments and reproduced the full chain against a clean PaperCut NG 25.0.11 server, chaining the auth bypass into unsafe Java class loading for SYSTEM-level execution. About 47% of roughly 2,500 tracked PaperCut installs still run version 23 or earlier with no patch available, and observed attacker activity was limited to system discovery commands.
