CVE-2026-82726——
———Permissive Regular Expression vulnerability in ash-project ash_phoenix lets a remote client select the tenant an Ash application uses, or degrade the request, by sending a crafted Host header.
AshPhoenix.Helpers.get_subdomain/2 stripped the root domain with String.replace(host, ~r/.?#{root_host}/, ""). The root host was interpolated raw, so each . became a wildcard and any metacharacter a pattern, and the replace was global and unanchored, so a match was removed from anywhere in the string. With root_host example.com, Host: foo.exampleXcom.attacker.net returned the tenant foo.attacker.net. A metacharacter-bearing or nil root host degraded the pattern or raised on every request. The comparison was also case-sensitive, so TENANT.EXAMPLE.COM and EXAMPLE.COM slipped past the root-host allowlist. conn.host comes from the client Host header. The fix matches the root host case-insensitively and only as an exact trailing suffix.
This issue affects ash_phoenix: from 2.1.26 before 2.3.25.53mCVE-2026-825476.5 MED—
——0A vulnerability was found in Linux Foundation Magma 1.9.0. The affected element is an unknown function of the file tasks/amf/amf_fsm.cpp of the component Registration Complete Message Handler. The manipulation results in improper authentication. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used.14hCVE-2026-758077.5 HIG21.0%
——6The SAML Single Sign On – SSO Login plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in versions up to, and including, 5.4.6. This is due to the mo_saml_login_validate() ACS handler persisting the X.509 certificate extracted from an incoming SAMLResponse into the mo_saml_required_certificate option before the signature-validation verdict is enforced, because mo_saml_find_certificate() returns false on a fingerprint mismatch rather than halting execution. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to overwrite the plugin's stored IdP signing certificate with an attacker-controlled value, and subsequently forge SAML assertions for any WordPress account — including administrators — to obtain a fully privileged session. Note: The exploit requires the administrator to perform a repair after receiving the test_config_error_wpsamlerr004 error message during the test configuration.1dCVE-2026-824668.7 HIG26.5%
——8Rodauth before 2.46.0 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the webauthn_login route that allows logged-in users to authenticate as any other account. Attackers can exploit improper account resolution logic that falls back to session account identifiers instead of validating the credential binding to complete authentication as arbitrary users.1dCVE-2026-765488.2 HIG8.4%
——3The User Profile Builder WordPress plugin before 4.0.1 does not properly restrict its front-end file upload feature, granting unauthenticated visitors capabilities reserved to privileged roles. This allows them to list the site's media library and to modify unpublished posts, pages and media items belonging to other users.1dCVE-2026-55678—31.7%
——10Arc is an open, SQL-native time-series database for telemetry. From 26.02.1 until 26.06.2, Arc Enterprise clustering accepts cluster join requests without authentication when cluster.enabled is true but cluster.shared_secret is not configured. The defaults in internal/config/config.go set cluster.enabled to false, cluster.cluster_name to arc-cluster, cluster.coordinator_addr to :9100, cluster.shared_secret to an empty value, and cluster.tls_enabled to false, while cmd/arc/main.go requires cluster.shared_secret only when cluster.replication_enabled is true. JoinRequest in internal/cluster/protocol/messages.go accepts attacker-controlled node_id, role, raft_addr, api_addr, and coord_addr values, plus optional auth_nonce, auth_timestamp, and auth_hmac fields. The join path in internal/cluster/coordinator.go validates HMAC authentication only when the configured shared secret is non-empty and otherwise proceeds after only the cluster-name check. An accepted node is marked healthy, added as a Raft voter or registered locally, and becomes available through internal/cluster/registry.go to the routing logic in internal/cluster/router.go. The forwardRequest path in internal/cluster/router.go builds its target from node.APIAddress and copies Authorization and x-api-key headers with the request, so a rogue node selected for a forwarded query or write can receive authentication headers, request bodies, database and measurement names, and operational metadata. Heartbeat in internal/cluster/protocol/messages.go also lacks HMAC fields, and internal/cluster/coordinator.go updates node state from supplied node_id and state values without authentication. An unauthenticated network attacker who can reach the coordinator port and knows the cluster name can therefore become a trusted cluster node, mutate cluster membership, be submitted as a Raft voter, intercept topology-dependent forwarded requests, divert or forge operations, and blackhole or delay traffic. The default standalone configuration is not reachable because cluster.enabled is false, but Enterprise cluster deployments with clustering enabled and no shared secret are affected. This issue is fixed in version 26.06.2.2d
