Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: locking/qrwlock: Fix ordering in queued_write_lock_slowpath() While this code is executed with the wait_lock held, a reader can acquire the lock without holding wait_lock. The writer side loops checking the value with the atomic_cond_read_acquire(), but only truly acquires the lock when the compare-and-exchange is completed successfully which isn’t ordered. This exposes the window between the acquire and the cmpxchg to an A-B-A problem which allows reads following the lock acquisition to observe values speculatively before the write lock is truly acquired. We've seen a problem in epoll where the reader does a xchg while holding the read lock, but the writer can see a value change out from under it. Writer | Reader -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ep_scan_ready_list() | |- write_lock_irq() | |- queued_write_lock_slowpath() | |- atomic_cond_read_acquire() | | read_lock_irqsave(&ep->lock, flags); --> (observes value before unlock) | chain_epi_lockless() | | epi->next = xchg(&ep->ovflist, epi); | | read_unlock_irqrestore(&ep->lock, flags); | | | atomic_cmpxchg_relaxed() | |-- READ_ONCE(ep->ovflist); | A core can order the read of the ovflist ahead of the atomic_cmpxchg_relaxed(). Switching the cmpxchg to use acquire semantics addresses this issue at which point the atomic_cond_read can be switched to use relaxed semantics. [peterz: use try_cmpxchg()]

——2In Spring AI's Semantic Cache support, the context hash used to isolate cached responses between different system prompts could allow cached responses to be shared across unrelated contexts. Affected versions: Spring AI: 2.0.06d CVE-2026-738439.6 CRI

——6OpenChoreo is a complete, open-source developer platform for Kubernetes. Prior to 1.0.2 and 1.1.2, internal/cluster-gateway/server.go served caller-facing management APIs on the externally reachable agent listener without authentication, allowing network-reachable attackers to invoke /api/proxy/ and /api/exec/ operations, proxy the data-plane Kubernetes API, and execute commands in workload pods in multi-cluster deployments. This issue is fixed in versions 1.0.2 and 1.1.2.13d CVE-2026-727826.5 MED

——4Craft CMS versions >= 5.0.0-RC1 before 5.10.6 and >= 4.0.0-RC1 before 4.18.2 interpolate environment variables and secrets (via ${ENV_VAR} strings in the elementId parameter) into Twig templates before rendering, even when the Twig sandbox is enabled. An authenticated attacker with control panel access can render a malicious sandboxed Twig template and, using a blind error-based technique across many requests, incrementally leak arbitrary environment variables and secrets. These can be abused to forge sessions (via CRAFT_SECURITY_KEY), escalate privileges, and steal database, SMTP, API, or blob storage credentials. Fixed in 5.10.6 and 4.18.2.16d CVE-2026-72764—

——9n8n's JavaScript task runner shared a single module cache across all users' Code-node executions. In affected versions (before 1.123.67, 2.31.5, and 2.32.1), a user able to run a Code node could poison a cached module and thereby alter other users' Code-node executions on the same runner, affecting their confidentiality, integrity, or availability. This is a cross-user isolation break within a single n8n instance and does not constitute a sandbox escape or remote code execution. Only multi-user instances running the JS task runner with built-in or external modules enabled are affected.16d CVE-2026-706065.9 MED

——2Electron is a framework for writing cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML and CSS. Prior to 40.10.6, 41.9.1, 42.5.1, and 43.0.0, when a custom protocol handler returned a ProtocolResponse with a url and no session, Electron made the upstream request through defaultSession instead of the session that handled the protocol. A cached response could then be reused across otherwise isolated session partitions. Apps that use ProtocolResponse.url, omit ProtocolResponse.session, and rely on separate sessions to isolate content are affected. This issue is fixed in versions 40.10.6, 41.9.1, 42.5.1, and 43.0.0.22d CVE-2026-48499—
