CVE-2026-40995
X509AuthenticationProvider could issue a fully authenticated X509AuthenticationToken when a presented certificate mapped to UserDetails, without applying Spring Security's standard account lifecycle checks (disabled, locked, expired, or credentials-expired accounts). Affected versions: Spring Web Services 5.0.0 through 5.0.1; 4.1.0 through 4.1.3; 4.0.0 through 4.0.18; 3.1.0 through 3.1.8.

Same Weakness Type(CWE-287)
Nefteprodukttekhnika BUK TS-G Gas Station Automation System 2.9.1 through 2.10.2 on Linux contains an Improper Authentication vulnerability (CWE-287) in the system configuration module. The /php/ajax-login.php endpoint returns userid=1 (administrator) in response to any HTTP POST request that supplies arbitrary credentials (e.g., action=dologin&login=<any_value>&pwd=<any_value>), and subsequent privileged endpoints under /php/ajax-main.php and /modules/* do not validate a server-side session. A remote unauthenticated attacker can invoke any administrative action exposed by the configuration module, including reading and modifying user rules, fuel tank gauges, fuel dispensers, relays, cash registers, bank terminals, fuel cards, price and customer displays, cash collection, and pricing rules.
An authentication bypass vulnerability exists in the OAuth2 TokenIntrospectionService in Apache CXF. Due to a missing 'throw' keyword in the security context check, the introspection endpoint (/services/oauth2/introspect) can be accessed by any unauthenticated network attacker. However note that this is a safeguard only in the case that someone forgot to enable authentication on the service. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.2.2 or 4.1.7, which fixes this issue.
ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 6.9.13-48 and 7.1.2-23, an attacker who can connect to a magick -distribute-cache service can cause a heap buffer over-read in the server process. This issue has been patched in versions 6.9.13-48 and 7.1.2-23.
A logic flow weakness in Remote Access and Mobile Access certificate validation in deprecated IKEv1 key exchange allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to bypass user authentication and establish a remote access VPN connection without a valid user password.
On Tapo C520WS v2, restricted accounts (for example, hub users) are intended to execute only a limited set of low‑sensitivity operations. Due to a logic flaw in the device’s API authorization mechanism, an attacker can craft requests that leverage legitimate “method mapping” behavior to bypass whitelist restrictions, allowing restricted operations to be masked as permitted requests and executed. Successful exploitation may allow an attacker (with access to a restricted account) to execute unauthorized sensitive operations. Depending on the operation invoked, impact could include device resets, unintended configuration changes, or disruption of normal operation, leading to loss of availability and integrity of the device.
Similar SeverityMEDIUM
In OpenStack Nova before 33.0.2, the server create API does not strip certain hint data. The resulting instance has no Placement allocation.
Improper access control in the social login connection endpoint in Devolutions Server 2026.2.5 allows an authenticated vault member to enumerate social login entry metadata to which they are not authorized via a crafted API request.
Improper access control in Devolutions Server 2026.2.5, 2026.1.21 allows an authenticated user to access attachments via folder duplication with inherited permissions.
A flaw was found in GnuTLS. The `gnutls_pkcs11_token_set_pin` function, used for changing the Security Officer PIN, can lead to a use-after-free vulnerability. This occurs when an attacker attempts to change the PIN with a NULL old PIN for a token that lacks a protected authentication path.
A flaw was found in the GNOME localsearch (previously known as tracker-miners) MP3 Extractor `tracker-extract-mp3` component. A remote attacker could exploit this heap buffer overflow vulnerability by providing a specially crafted MP3 file containing malformed ID3 tags. This incorrect length calculation during the parsing of performer tags can lead to a read beyond the allocated buffer, potentially causing a Denial of Service (DoS) due to a crash or enabling information disclosure.
