A no-permission Android app can expose another app’s transport state to an off-path spoofing sender, while a rootless HTTP request target can make Traefik authorize one route and forward another.

The first crosses Android’s app-isolation boundary without permissions; the second turns a parser disagreement into unauthenticated access to protected backend routes.

Priority findings2
01
High
Mobile — Android
Confirmed

A no-permission Android app can help an off-path sender hijack other apps’ TCP connections and poison shared DNS.

Cross-app side channels supply transport state that Android’s permission boundary was expected to keep unavailable.

Affects

Android, the mobile operating system used on phones and tablets.

What it enables

Cross-app TCP connection hijacking and DNS cache poisoning

The victim runs an ordinary attacker-controlled Android app requiring no permissions.The app uses cBPF truncation or IP-options behavior and bind-based port probing to infer another app’s connection or the resolver’s query state.The app communicates the inferred state to an off-path node able to transmit spoofed-source packets.The node races forged TCP SYN/ACK or DNS responses against the legitimate endpoint.A new unauthenticated TCP connection is diverted or Android’s shared resolver caches an attacker-selected address.
Why this matters

This leads because an ordinary app with no permissions can contribute to altering another app’s traffic or Android’s shared DNS state when paired with a spoof-capable sender.

Detail and 2 sources
Required access

Execution as an ordinary no-permission app on the victim plus an off-path internet node able to transmit spoofed-source packets through a port-preserving network; the targeted traffic must lack effective end-to-end authentication

Affected versions

Android 16 with Linux kernel 6.1.145, demonstrated on a Google Pixel 9

Proof of concept

Demonstrated by the researcher

The app measures cBPF, IP-options, and port-allocation behavior, relays the inferred state to an off-path node, and lets that node race forged TCP or DNS packets against the legitimate endpoint.

On a Pixel 9, the researchers reported 80–86% success for TCP hijacking and 100% for DNS poisoning under their stated trial conditions.

Those trials do not establish the same results across every Android release, kernel, and router configuration.

Evidence
The primary paper reports end-to-end Pixel 9 experiments, including 80–86% TCP-hijack success and 100% DNS-poisoning success in its stated trials.The demonstrated result generalizes to every Android release, kernel and router configuration.Public artifact code reproduces the Android attacks.

Edge — Traefik
Confirmed
CVE-2026-88009

A rootless HTTP request target can bypass Traefik path authorization and reach protected backend routes.

Traefik authorizes empty parsed path fields while the backend receives the attacker-controlled opaque target.

Affects

Traefik, a reverse proxy and Kubernetes ingress controller commonly deployed at application boundaries.

What it enables

Unauthenticated access to path-protected or alternate-virtual-host backend resources

Send an HTTP/1.x request containing a rootless opaque request target to a reachable Traefik listenerGo parses the target into URL.Opaque while leaving the path and authority fields inspected by Traefik emptyTraefik routes and authorizes the request as path / while retaining the opaque valueThe backend interprets the forwarded opaque target as a protected path or different virtual host
Why this matters

Traefik leads even though the impact rank placed Samsung second: Traefik’s ingress-to-impact path is reproduced in public code, while Samsung has not disclosed how an image reaches its decoder, whether interaction is required, or which process executes it.

Detail, proof-of-concept code and 4 sources
Required access

Network reachability to a Traefik HTTP/1.x listener whose backend relies on Traefik path or virtual-host policy

Affected versions

Traefik v2 before 2.11.57, Traefik v3.0.0 through 3.7.12

Proof of concept

Public exploit code

Go stores the rootless request target in URL.Opaque while leaving the path and authority fields inspected by Traefik empty.

Traefik can consequently approve the request as path / and forward the opaque value to a backend that interprets it as a protected path or another virtual host.

The patch rejects opaque targets at entry and clears URL.Opaque before proxying; fixed releases are available.

Evidence
The public advisory reports end-to-end reproduction of cross-vhost routing, path-authorization bypass, and access-log evasionThe upstream pull request adds an entry-point rejection and clears URL.Opaque before proxyingThe upstream releases identify the advisory and fix

important · Mobile — Samsung

Two Samsung image decoders allow remotely supplied DNG or JPEG data to execute code.

Affects

Samsung Galaxy mobile devices on Android 14–17 that use Samsung's libimagecodec.quram.so image decoder.

The DNG and JPEG paths in libimagecodec.quram.so contain heap overflows that Samsung says can produce remote arbitrary-code execution.

Detail and 1 source

We do not know the cheapest delivery route, whether the victim must interact, or the identity and sandbox of the decoder process.

Samsung’s September bulletin lists fixed software for both flaws.

important · Mobile — iOS

An ordinary iOS app can help a same-LAN peer hijack another app’s new TCP connection.

Affects

iOS, Apple’s mobile operating system for iPhone.

IP-options observations and port probing let the app infer enough shared state for the peer to race a forged SYN/ACK.

Detail and 2 sources

The result was demonstrated on an iPhone 15 running iOS 26.3.1, but only with a cooperating LAN injector and a new TCP flow lacking effective authentication above TCP.

Apple is working on a source-routing restriction, but no fixed iOS version has shipped.

important · Edge — SonicWall

Compromised SMA1000 appliances are becoming paths into Active Directory secrets and DCSync.

Affects

SonicWall SMA1000 remote-access appliances deployed at enterprise network edges.

The unauthenticated WorkPlace proxy reaches a localhost Erlang service, after which attackers recover directory material and deploy secretsdump.

Detail and 2 sources

The downstream chain included SAM and LSA collection and DCSync from domain controllers.

SonicWall identifies fixed SMA1000 builds.

important · RCE — RMM

Attackers are exploiting pre-authentication code injection in self-hosted N-central servers.

Affects

N-able N-central, remote-monitoring and management server software used by managed-service providers to administer downstream endpoints.

Network access to the server is enough to reach code execution, and control of the RMM plane can extend to managed systems where its permissions allow.

Detail and 3 sources

Huntress observed a compromised N-central environment but could not tie that incident to this exact flaw after the relevant logs rotated.

N-able says all earlier releases are affected and provides fixed releases.

important · Edge — PAN-OS

Unauthenticated XML traffic can execute code as root on PA-Series firewalls.

Affects

PAN-OS on Palo Alto Networks PA-Series hardware firewalls; the same flaw produces denial of service rather than root execution on VM-Series.

A management web or dataplane interface is enough to reach the XML-processing out-of-bounds write, and no special configuration is required.

Detail and 2 sources
important · RCE — Artifactory

Two Artifactory token flaws compose into unauthenticated administrative control and server-side code execution.

Affects

JFrog Artifactory, a self-hosted artifact repository used in software build and deployment pipelines.

An unauthenticated endpoint discloses an internal anonymous-user JWT, and missing scope validation lets that token mint administrator authority.

Detail and 2 sources

The chain was used to create administrators, execute operating-system commands through a Groovy plugin, and install a persistent Rust backdoor.

JFrog has fixed the token flaws, but the remediation does not establish complete revocation of access or persistence created before upgrade.

important · Privilege — AWS

Delegated SSM port forwarding can expose a managed instance’s IAM role credentials.

Affects

AWS Systems Manager Agent, management software running on EC2 instances, on-premises servers, and other managed nodes.

A permitted port-forwarding user can encode a link-local address in a form the agent’s denylist misses, tunnel to metadata, and use the retrieved instance-profile credentials outside the node.

Detail and 3 sources
important · Firmware — SonicWall

A working exploit now turns the SMA1000 WorkPlace proxy into root command execution.

Affects

SonicWall SMA 1000 Series 6210, 7210 and virtual 8200v secure remote-access appliances.

The chain uses the unauthenticated forward proxy to reach a protected AMC command-injection path and run commands as root.

Detail and 2 sources

SonicWall also reports active exploitation of the two flaws.

Fixed builds are available, but pre-fix appliance images remain accepted.

important · Edge — Check Point

Crafted VPN certificate data may give an unauthenticated peer code execution on Check Point gateways and management servers.

Affects

Check Point Security Gateways, Security Management Servers and Spark appliances processing Site-to-Site or Remote Access VPN traffic.

The pre-authentication paths involve improper certificate validation and a heap overflow in VPN certificate ASN.1 decoding.

Detail and 3 sources

No public exploit or researcher demonstration establishes the terminal execution context, so the code-execution result remains provisional.

Check Point has shipped fixes for both paths.

important · Privilege — ScreenConnect

An active ScreenConnect session can transfer and execute files without the host’s approval.

Affects

ConnectWise ScreenConnect Client, remote-support and unattended-access software installed on managed endpoints.

Huntress observed modified clients automatically transfer and execute VBS payloads on newly connected Windows endpoints.

Detail and 1 source
important · Research — AI safety

PuzzleMask lets ordinary prose cross a lightweight AI gate and recover restricted instructions inside a stronger model.

Affects

AI applications that screen prompts with a lightweight language model before passing accepted input to a stronger, tool-enabled model.

The technique depends on a weaker model screening text before a stronger model with greater reasoning or tool access processes it.

Detail and 1 source

We do not know how many deployed pipelines use that exact architecture or what downstream actions the bypass makes reachable.

important · Firmware — UniFi

A working exploit reproduces UniFi OS authentication bypass from an unauthenticated request.

Affects

Ubiquiti UniFi OS, the appliance platform used by Cloud Keys, Dream Machines, gateways, NVRs and UniFi OS Server.

Attacker-chosen CRLF sequences cause UniFi OS to misparse the request boundary and skip authentication.

Detail and 1 source

Public material includes a working target, packet captures, and exploit detections.

A patch is reported, but affected and fixed version tables could not be retrieved from the vendor page.

important · Privilege — EPMM

An ordinary authenticated Ivanti EPMM user can promote themselves to administrator.

Affects

Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile, an enterprise mobile-device-management server for iOS, Android, macOS and Windows fleets.

A low-privilege user with network access can invoke an undisclosed operation whose missing authorization check grants EPMM administrator authority.

Detail and 2 sources
important · Research — developer tooling

Repository-controlled projen inputs can become commands on developer and CI hosts.

Affects

projen, a project-configuration and task-generation framework used on developer systems and CI runners.

Shell metacharacters from configuration values or filenames were copied without escaping into generated task commands that a developer or CI job could later run.

Detail and 3 sources
important · Bluetooth — Linux

A nearby unpaired LE Audio peer can race Linux into a kernel use-after-free.

Affects

Linux kernel Bluetooth ISO socket handling on systems using LE Audio broadcast or unicast.

Concurrent ISO-listener teardown can leave a child socket linked to a freed parent that later teardown code dereferences and modifies.

Detail and 2 sources

That supplies a kernel heap write primitive, but no real-controller reproduction or hardened-kernel control-flow hijack is public.

Linux has published affected and fixed release boundaries.

important · Wi-Fi — NETGEAR

A malicious website can make an authenticated NETGEAR administrator alter router configuration.

Affects

NETGEAR XR1000, XR1000v2, and XR500 gaming routers, embedded network appliances.

An administrator with an active management session must interact with attacker-controlled content, after which cross-site request forgery submits configuration changes with the administrator’s authority.

Detail and 1 source

NETGEAR lists affected models and fixed firmware releases.

important · Wi-Fi — NETGEAR

A Wi-Fi client can crash the management interface on affected NETGEAR routers without administrator credentials.

Affects

NETGEAR RAX30, RAX35, RAX38, RAX40, and RAXE300 routers, embedded network appliances.

Adjacent-network access is required, and malformed input disables the management interface while leaving core Wi-Fi service operating.

Detail and 1 source

NETGEAR lists affected models and fixed firmware releases.
