Technical description

A validation flaw in the DNS SRV host discovery of the MongoDB Node.js driver may cause the driver to connect to a host outside the expected domain. For a mongodb+srv:// connection string, the driver checks each host name in the DNS SRV response against the domain of the connection string. The driver then builds the connection address from the original name, in which certain characters end the host name early. An unauthenticated party who can forge or change the DNS SRV response may redirect the connection to a host of their choice. TLS does not prevent this, because the driver verifies the server certificate against the redirected host name. This may result in unintended disclosure of application data and authentication credentials, and in altered query results. Applications that use mongodb:// connection strings are not affected.

——0Contao 4.0.0 before 5.3.54, 5.4.0 before 5.7.17, and 6.0.0 before 6.0.6 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows content editors to read image files anywhere on the filesystem via the {{image::}} insert tag. Attackers can embed percent-encoded sequences like ..%2f that pass Validator::isInsecurePath() before rawurldecode(), making the frontend resize and serve readable image files outside the files directory.1d CVE-2026-61812—

——7ModSecurity is an open source, cross platform web application firewall (WAF) engine for Apache, IIS and Nginx. Prior to 2.9.15 and 3.0.17, t:htmlEntityDecode recognizes only a small subset of named HTML entities, so rules that depend on the transformation can inspect different bytes than a browser or backend. Attackers can encode ASCII separators and operators with unhandled entity names, including aliases, to bypass rules that depend on the transformation. The v3 decoder also accepts prefix matches instead of requiring an exact entity-token length, which can transform invalid longer names into different bytes. This issue is fixed in versions 2.9.15 and 3.0.17.3d CVE-2026-1251105.3 MED

——5Rack is a modular Ruby web server interface. Prior to 2.2.25, 3.1.23, and 3.2.8, Rack::Static serves a path after Utils.clean_path_info normalization but evaluates header_rules against a path that is only URL-decoded. An unauthenticated attacker can request a known file through raw or percent-encoded dot segments and receive it without path-specific security headers such as Content-Disposition or Content-Security-Policy. Applications that do not use path-specific header_rules are not affected. This issue is fixed in versions 2.2.25, 3.1.23, and 3.2.8.3d CVE-2026-1238515.4 MED

——5CGI versions before 5.00 for Perl allow open redirects via HTML entity decoding of the URL after application validation in redirect. redirect decodes HTML entities in its URL before writing the Location header, so a URL the application has already validated can change meaning. For example, //evil.example/ becomes //evil.example/ and sends the user to another host.3d CVE-2026-118662—

——7Vite is a frontend tooling framework for JavaScript. From 6.4.4 until 6.4.5, the Vite development server can evaluate server.fs.deny before stripping loader query parameters such as ?raw, ?import&raw, or ?import&url&inline. When the development server is exposed to the network and a sensitive file is inside server.fs.allow but matched by server.fs.deny, an unauthenticated attacker can append one of these queries and retrieve the denied file. This issue is fixed in version 6.4.5.10d
