CVE-2025-20362
Update: On November 5, 2025, Cisco became aware of a new attack variant against devices running Cisco Secure ASA Software or Cisco Secure FTD Software releases that are affected by CVE-2025-20333 and CVE-2025-20362. This attack can cause unpatched devices to unexpectedly reload, leading to denial of service (DoS) conditions. Cisco strongly recommends that all customers upgrade to the fixed software releases that are listed in the Fixed Software ["#fs"] section of this advisory. A vulnerability in the VPN web server of Cisco Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to access restricted URL endpoints that are related to remote access VPN that should otherwise be inaccessible without authentication. This vulnerability is due to improper validation of user-supplied input in HTTP(S) requests. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted HTTP requests to a targeted web server on a device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to access a restricted URL without authentication.

OpenClaw before 2026.4.10 contains an incomplete navigation guard vulnerability that allows attackers to trigger navigation without complete SSRF policy enforcement. Browser press/type style interactions, including pressKey and type submit flows, can bypass post-action security checks to execute unauthorized navigation.
Craft Commerce is an ecommerce platform for Craft CMS. In versions 4.0.0 through 4.10.2 and 5.0.0 through 5.5.4, the PaymentsController::actionPay discloses some order data to unauthenticated users when an order number is provided and the email check fails during an anonymous payment. The JSON error response includes the serialized order object (order), which contains some sensitive fields such as customer email, shipping address, and billing address. The frontend payment flow's actionPay() retrieves orders by number before authorization is fully enforcedLoad order by number. This issue has been fixed in versions 4.11.0 and 5.6.0.
GravCMS 1.10.7 contains an unauthenticated vulnerability that allows remote attackers to write arbitrary YAML configuration and execute PHP code through the scheduler endpoint. Attackers can exploit the admin-nonce parameter to inject base64-encoded payloads and create malicious custom jobs with system command execution.
Petlibro Smart Pet Feeder Platform versions up to 1.7.31 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to access any user account by exploiting OAuth token validation flaws in the social login system. Attackers can send requests to /member/auth/thirdLogin with arbitrary Google IDs and phoneBrand parameters to obtain full session tokens and account access without proper OAuth verification.
The All-in-one Sticky Floating Contact Form, Call, Click to Chat, and 50+ Social Icon Tabs - My Sticky Elements plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized data loss due to a missing capability check on the 'my_sticky_elements_bulks' function in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.3. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to delete all contact form leads stored by the plugin.

A directory traversal vulnerability in the Apex One (on-premise) server could allow a pre-authenticated local attacker to modify a key table on the server to inject malicious code to deploy to agents on affected installations. This vulnerability is only exploitable on the on-premise version of Apex One and a potential attacker must have access to the Apex One Server and already obtained administrative credentials to the server via some other method to exploit this vulnerability.
Microsoft Defender Denial of Service Vulnerability
Incus is a system container and virtual machine manager. In versions before 7.0.0, broken TLS validation logic in the OVN database connection logic can allow connections to an attacker's OVN database. The OVN client implementations disable Go standard TLS server verification and replace it with custom peer-certificate verification logic. That replacement verifier does not anchor trust in the configured CA certificate. Instead, it constructs the verification root set from certificates supplied by the peer during the handshake, so the configured CA is parsed but not used as the trust anchor for the final verification decision. In OVN-enabled deployments that use these SSL database connection paths, an attacker able to impersonate or intercept the OVN endpoint on the management network can present a rogue self-signed certificate chain, and Incus will accept this certificate as valid. This issue defeats the intended CA-based trust model for OVN database connections and permits endpoint impersonation by an active attacker in a suitable network position. This issue is fixed in version 7.0.0.
Incus is a system container and virtual machine manager. In versions before 7.0.0, missing validation logic in the storage volume import logic allows an authenticated user with access to the storage volume feature to cause the Incus daemon to crash. The custom volume backup import subsystem contains a nil-pointer dereference vulnerability during import operations. In the snapshot import loop, the daemon iterates over entries from `srcBackup.Config.VolumeSnapshots` and assumes that each slice element is initialized, then dereferences fields such as `Name`, `Config`, `Description`, `CreatedAt`, and `ExpiresAt` without first validating the element itself. Because the yaml unmarshaler accepts explicit null array elements from an attacker-controlled index.yaml and converts them into nil pointers inside the slice, an attacker can supply a backup archive containing a null entry in the volume_snapshots array. This causes a nil-pointer dereference during custom volume import and terminates the daemon, resulting in denial of service on the affected node. Repeated use of this issue can be used to keep Incus offline, causing a denial of service. This issue is fixed in version 7.0.0.
A vulnerability has been found in PicoTronica e-Clinic Healthcare System ECHS 5.7. This affects an unknown function of the file /cdemos/echs/api/v2/ of the component Response Header Handler. Such manipulation leads to information disclosure. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. Upgrading to version 5.7.1 mitigates this issue. It is suggested to upgrade the affected component. The vendor was contacted early, responded in a very professional manner and quickly released a fixed version of the affected product.
