CVE-2024-22419
Vyper is a Pythonic Smart Contract Language for the Ethereum Virtual Machine. The `concat` built-in can write over the bounds of the memory buffer that was allocated for it and thus overwrite existing valid data. The root cause is that the `build_IR` for `concat` doesn't properly adhere to the API of copy functions (for `>=0.3.2` the `copy_bytes` function). A contract search was performed and no vulnerable contracts were found in production. The buffer overflow can result in the change of semantics of the contract. The overflow is length-dependent and thus it might go unnoticed during contract testing. However, certainly not all usages of concat will result in overwritten valid data as we require it to be in an internal function and close to the return statement where other memory allocations don't occur. This issue has been addressed in 0.4.0.

A security vulnerability has been detected in TRENDnet TEW-821DAP 1.12B01. Impacted is the function auto_update_firmware of the component Firmware Udpate. The manipulation of the argument str leads to buffer overflow. The attack may be initiated remotely. The vendor explains: "That firmware version will only work on our hardware version v1.xR. We have already EOL that product 8 years ago and are no longer selling". This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.
10-Strike Bandwidth Monitor 3.9 contains a buffer overflow vulnerability that allows attackers to bypass SafeSEH, ASLR, and DEP protections through carefully crafted input. Attackers can exploit the vulnerability by sending a malicious payload to the application's registration key input, enabling remote code execution and launching arbitrary system commands.
A flaw has been found in Tenda AC23 16.03.07.52. This impacts an unknown function of the file /goform/WifiExtraSet. This manipulation of the argument wpapsk_crypto causes buffer overflow. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit has been published and may be used.
DD-WRT version 45723 contains a buffer overflow vulnerability in the UPNP network discovery service that allows remote attackers to potentially execute arbitrary code. Attackers can send crafted M-SEARCH packets with oversized UUID payloads to trigger buffer overflow conditions on the target device.
A flaw has been found in UTT HiPER 810 1.7.4-141218. The impacted element is the function strcpy of the file /goform/setSysAdm. This manipulation of the argument passwd1 causes buffer overflow. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit has been published and may be used.

Improper neutralization of input during web page generation ('cross-site scripting') in Microsoft Exchange Server allows an unauthorized attacker to perform spoofing over a network.
An Improper Input Validation in Ivanti EPMM before versions 12.6.1.1, 12.7.0.1, and 12.8.0.1 allows a remotely authenticated user with administrative access to achieve remote code execution.
OpenClaw before 2026.4.22 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in the Zalo plugin's sendPhoto function that fails to validate outbound photo URLs through the SSRF guard. Attackers can bypass SSRF protection by providing malicious photo URLs to the Zalo Bot API, enabling unauthorized access to internal resources.
OpenClaw before 2026.4.22 contains an exec allowlist analysis vulnerability allowing shell expansion hiding in unquoted heredoc bodies. Attackers can bypass allowlist validation by embedding shell expansion tokens in heredoc bodies to execute unapproved commands at runtime.
