Technical description

A vulnerability exists in curl <7.87.0 HSTS check that could be bypassed to trick it to keep using HTTP. Using its HSTS support, curl can be instructed to use HTTPS instead of using an insecure clear-text HTTP step even when HTTP is provided in the URL. However, the HSTS mechanism could be bypassed if the host name in the given URL first uses IDN characters that get replaced to ASCII counterparts as part of the IDN conversion. Like using the character UTF-8 U+3002 (IDEOGRAPHIC FULL STOP) instead of the common ASCII full stop (U+002E) `.`. Then in a subsequent request, it does not detect the HSTS state and makes a clear text transfer. Because it would store the info IDN encoded but look for it IDN decoded.

——0A weakness has been identified in Tenda F6 12.02.01.73. Affected is an unknown function of the component Web Management Interface. Executing a manipulation of the argument ecos_pw can lead to cleartext transmission of sensitive information. The attack may be launched remotely. This attack is characterized by high complexity. The exploitability is told to be difficult. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks.2d CVE-2026-1115948.1 HIG

——2InterSystems IRIS for Health has TLS/SSL encryption turned off by default, which may enable an attacker to view transmitted data and use that data to log into the device.2d CVE-2026-218122.2 LOW

——1HCL AppScan Azure Boards Plugin is affected by a Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information vulnerability when configured to communicate with the AppScan server over HTTP. This could allow an attacker to intercept credentials or authentication tokens during transmission. The plugin has been updated to display a warning when HTTP is used and recommend HTTPS for secure communication.3d CVE-2026-539865.3 MED

——3Girafit camera app (Android and iOS) version 1.9.1 and earlier, and Girafit camera devices, contain a hardcoded credentials vulnerability that allows attackers to obtain the shared TURN relay username by decompiling the app or intercepting unencrypted network traffic during live view registration. Attackers can extract the static TURN username and session token, which are identical across all installs and not tied to any user or device, potentially enabling tracking, impersonation, or further exploitation if combined with the TURN relay password.4d CVE-2026-1076924.8 MED

——1The War Thunder game client transmits its authentication bearer token (auth_jwt) in the very first data packet after the TCP handshake, using only LZ4 compression rather than encryption. An attacker positioned on the network path can passively intercept and decompress this packet to reveal the plaintext JSON payload. This vulnerability allows for temporary authenticated impersonation, enabling an attacker to access game services and certain user data (such as email address and displayed phone number) as the affected user. While this allows for unauthorized access to gameplay, it does not facilitate full account takeover, as it cannot be used to modify account security settings, change passwords, bypass two-factor authentication for account management, or access financial information.4d CVE-2026-151027.5 HIG
