Discourse: Information Disclosure via Unscoped MessageBus Broadcasts in Public Chat

In Discourse versions 2026.1.0-latest to before 2026.1.4, 2026.3.0-latest to before 2026.3.1, and 2026.4.0-latest to before 2026.4.1 a high severity vulnerability CVE-2026-44786 was detected. This vulnerability allows an unauthorized user, specifically a MessageBus subscriber who does not have chat enabled, to receive real-time chat message payloads, leading to information disclosure. This occurs because chat events for public category channels are published to the MessageBus without proper permission scoping. To address this issue, users should upgrade Discourse to versions 2026.1.4, 2026.3.1, 2026.4.1, or 2026.5.0-latest.1. For more details, visit https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-44786.

MongoDB: Denial of Service (Crash) via Invalid PauseExecution Signal in $_internalConvertBucketIndexStats

In MongoDB versions Versions before 8.3.3, 8.2.10, 8.0.10, 7.0.35 a medium severity vulnerability CVE-2026-9748 was detected. This vulnerability allows a user to cause a mongod server crash, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS). This occurs because the $_internalConvertBucketIndexStats stage incorrectly uses PauseExecution as a mechanism to skip documents when an index stats conversion fails on non-timeseries input. However, PauseExecution is not a general-purpose skip signal; it is an internal TeeBuffer signal used solely by the $facet stage. When $_internalConvertBucketIndexStats is placed before $facet in a pipeline, the TeeBuffer receives this unexpected signal, triggers a hard invariant assertion, and crashes the server. To address this issue, users should upgrade MongoDB to a patched version 7.0.35 and later, 8.0.24 and later, 8.2.10 and later, 8.3.3 and later. For more details, visit https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-9748.

pgAdmin 4: SQL Injection in Named Restore Point Endpoint

In pgAdmin 4 versions from 1.0.0 up to, but not including, 9.16.0. a medium severity vulnerability CVE-2026-12050 was detected. This vulnerability allows an authenticated user with a connected PostgreSQL session to execute arbitrary SQL statements. This occurs due to an SQL injection flaw in the named restore point endpoint (POST /browser/server/restore_point/{gid}/{sid}), where the user-supplied value field is interpolated directly into the SQL string instead of being passed as a bound parameter. While the injected SQL executes under the user’s existing database role and does not cross privilege boundaries, it bypasses application-layer restrictions, allowing SQL execution outside of the documented Query Tool interface. To address this issue, users should upgrade pgAdmin 4 to a patched version 9.16 or later. For more details, visit https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-12050.

MariaDB Server: Arbitrary File Write via Path Traversal in mbstream

In MariaDB Server versions 10.6.1 to before 10.6.26, 10.11.1 to before 10.11.17, 11.4.1 to before 11.4.11, 11.8.1 to before 11.8.7, and 12.3.1 a high severity vulnerability CVE-2026-44171 was detected. This vulnerability allows an attacker to create or overwrite files outside the intended target directory. This occurs due to a path traversal flaw in the mbstream utility, which fails to check for directory traversal sequences (like /../) when unpacking an archive. While a legitimate backup never contains such paths, an attacker can provide a specially crafted archive to exploit this issue and perform arbitrary file writes. To address this issue, users should upgrade MariaDB Server to versions 10.6.26, 10.11.17, 11.4.11, 11.8.7, or 12.3.2. For more details, visit https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-44171.

GitLab CE/EE: Denial of Service (DoS) via Uncontrolled Resource Consumption

In GitLab CE/EE versions 17.10 before 18.10.8, 18.11 before 18.11.5, and 19.0 before 19.0.2 a medium severity vulnerability CVE-2026-1500 was detected. This vulnerability allows an authenticated user to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) condition. This occurs due to uncontrolled resource consumption when the application processes a specially crafted file upload. To address this issue, users should upgrade GitLab CE/EE to versions 18.10.8, 18.11.5, or 19.0.2. For more details, visit https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-1500.

Discourse: Chat Misauthorization and Information Disclosure

In Discourse versions 2026.1.0-latest to before 2026.1.4, 2026.3.0-latest to before 2026.3.1, and 2026.4.0-latest to before 2026.4.1 a medium severity vulnerability CVE-2026-45085 was detected. This vulnerability encompasses four distinct misauthorization and information disclosure issues within the chat plugin, with one also involving the discourse-calendar plugin. The flaws allow read-only category users to create chat threads and permit authors to restore self-deleted messages even after their channel access has been revoked. Furthermore, it causes information disclosure by exposing a channel’s last_message (which can include unrelated direct message content) to moderators reviewing flagged messages, and by leaking chat channel details via calendar event payloads to unauthorized viewers, including anonymous users. To address this issue, users should upgrade Discourse to versions 2026.1.4, 2026.3.1, 2026.4.1, or 2026.5.0-latest.1. For more details, visit https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-45085.
