VU#308749: Remote Code Execution and Arbitrary File Read Vulnerabilities in Kaltura Servers

Insecure deserialization in Kaltura's legacy HTML5 Player V2 (mwEmbed) allows arbitrary file read and remote code execution; Player V7 is unaffected.

CERT/CC issued VU#308749 for two flaws in Kaltura's HTML5 Player V2 library (mwEmbed/html5lib), both caused by the same insecure deserialization bug. The flaws enable arbitrary file read and remote code execution via the exposed mwEmbedLoader.php endpoint. Affected versions include html5lib v2.45, v2.103 and earlier, and other v2.x releases; the currently supported Player V7 is unaffected. No evidence of exploitation was cited.

Payara 7.2026.1.RC1 Arbitrary EJB Method Invocation via Insecure Reflection in Payara Server

Payara Server 7.2026.1.RC1 HTTP EJB endpoints rely on attacker-controlled reflection and JNDI lookups without authorization, enabling arbitrary EJB method invocation.

Payara Server exposes multiple HTTP-accessible EJB invocation mechanisms that depend on attacker-controlled reflection, dynamic class loading, and unsafe deserialization. Remote clients can perform arbitrary JNDI lookups, resolve attacker-supplied class names, and invoke EJB business methods without sufficient authorization enforcement or input restriction. Both the deprecated InvokeEJBServlet and other endpoints are affected in version 7.2026.1.RC1.

Researchers show naively composing unidirectional fully encrypted protocols is detectable and construct provably secure bidirectional FEPs, validated in Rust.

The paper introduces formal security definitions for bidirectional fully encrypted protocols (BiFEPs), covering exact shaping, delivery, protocol-state integrity, private half-close, and cross-direction isolation. It shows trivially composing two unidirectional FEPs enables detection attacks via cross-direction dependencies like traffic imbalance and connection tear-down. The authors construct provably secure BiFEPs for datastream and datagram settings, validated with a Rust implementation; no surveyed deployed protocol provides the full set of properties.

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.

Understanding the Usability of Cryptographic Verification Tools

Survey of Tamarin and ProVerif users reveals usability barriers: debugging non-termination, model validation, and opaque proof failures hinder cryptographic protocol verification.

The paper presents an exploratory human-centered survey of researchers, graduate students, and practitioners with hands-on experience using Tamarin, ProVerif, and related cryptographic protocol verification tools. Findings reveal usability barriers across the verification workflow, including difficulties debugging non-termination and performance issues plus the lack of systematic methods for validating formal models against real protocols. When proofs fail without concrete attacks, users commonly simplify models, add helper lemmas, and revisit modeling abstractions. Participants called for actionable diagnostics, clearer explanations of results, visualization, and automation for recurring proof tasks.
