Title: Apache MINA: AbstractIoBuffer.resolveClass() null-clazz Branch Skips acceptMatchers Filter — Full Object Deserialization RCE (take 2)

Description
The fix for CVE-2026-41635 was not applied to the 2.1.X and 2.2.X branches. Here was the original issue description: Apache MINA's AbstractIoBuffer.resolveClass() contains two branches, one of them (for static classes or primitive types) does not check the class at all, bypassing the classname allowlist and allowing arbitrary code to be executed. The fix checks if the class is present in the accepted class filter before calling Class.forName(). Affected versions are Apache MINA 2.1.0 <= 2.1.11, and 2.2.0 <= 2.2.6. The problem is resolved in Apache MINA 2.1.12, and 2.2.7 by applying the classname allowlist earlier. Affected are applications using Apache MINA that call IoBuffer.getObject(). Applications using Apache MINA are advised to upgrade.

CVE-2026-0300 PAN-OS: Unauthenticated user initiated Buffer Overflow Vulnerability in User-ID™ Authentication Portal

CVSS-BT: 9.3

Description
A buffer overflow vulnerability in the User-ID™ Authentication Portal (aka Captive Portal) service of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the PA-Series and VM-Series firewalls by sending specially crafted packets.
The risk of this issue is greatly reduced if you secure access to the User-ID™ Authentication Portal per the best practice guidelines by restricting access to only trusted internal IP addresses.
Prisma Access, Cloud NGFW and Panorama appliances are not impacted by this vulnerability.

New Fragnesia Linux Kernel LPE Grants Root Access via Page Cache Corruption

Details have emerged about a new variant of the recent Dirty Frag Linux local privilege escalation (LPE) vulnerability that allows local attackers to gain root access, making it the third such bug to be identified in the kernel within a span of two weeks.

Codenamed Fragnesia, the security vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2026-46300 (CVSS score: 7.8) and is rooted in the Linux kernel's XFRM ESP-in-TCP subsystem. It was discovered by researcher William Bowling of Zellic and the V12 security team.

"The vulnerability allows unprivileged local attackers to modify read-only file contents in the kernel page cache and achieve root privileges through a deterministic page-cache corruption primitive," Google-owned Wiz said.

K000161019: NGINX ngx_http_rewrite_module vulnerability CVE-2026-42945

Date: May 13, 2026

Not vulnerable: 1.31.0+, 1.30.1+
Vulnerable: 0.6.27-1.30.0

Security Advisory Description
NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source have a vulnerability in the ngx_http_rewrite_module module. This vulnerability exists when the rewrite directive is followed by a rewrite, if, or set directive and an unnamed Perl-Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE) capture (for example, $1, $2) with a replacement string that includes a question mark (?). An unauthenticated attacker along with conditions beyond its control can exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted HTTP requests. This may cause a heap buffer overflow in the NGINX worker process leading to a restart. Additionally, for systems with Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR ) disabled, code execution is possible. (CVE-2026-42945)

K000161131: NGINX ngx_http_proxy_v2_module vulnerability CVE-2026-42926

Security Advisory Description
When NGINX Open Source is configured to proxy HTTP/2 traffic by setting proxy_http_version to 2, and also uses proxy_set_body, an attacker may be able to inject frame headers and payload bytes to the upstream peer. (CVE-2026-42926)

Not vulnerable: 1.31.0+, 1.30.1+
Vulnerable: 1.29.4-1.30.0

https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K000161131

K000161027: NGINX ngx_http_scgi_module and ngx_http_uwsgi_module vulnerability CVE-2026-42946

Not vulnerable: 1.31.0+, 1.30.1+
Vulnerable: 0.8.42-1.30.0

Security Advisory Description
A vulnerability exists in the ngx_http_scgi_module and ngx_http_uwsgi_module modules that may result in excessive memory allocation or an over-read of data. When scgi_pass or uwsgi_pass is configured, an unauthenticated attacker with man-in-the-middle (MITM) ability to control responses from an upstream server may be able to read the memory of the NGINX worker process or restart it. (CVE-2026-42946)

Impact
This vulnerability may allow remote attackers to restart or disclose the memory of the NGINX worker process. There is no control plane exposure; this is a data plane issue only.

Cisco Secure Workload Unauthorized API Access Vulnerability

Advisory ID: cisco-sa-csw-pnbsa-g8WEnuy
First Published: 2026 May 20 16:00 GMT
Version 1.0: Final
Workarounds: No workarounds available
Cisco Bug IDs: CSCwt99942
CVSS Score: Base 10.0

Summary
A vulnerability in the access validation of internal REST APIs of Cisco Secure Workload could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to access site resources with the privileges of the Site Admin role.

This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation and authentication when accessing REST API endpoints. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability if they are able to send a crafted API request to an affected endpoint. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to read sensitive information and make configuration changes across tenant boundaries with the privileges of the Site Admin user.

Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
