GitLab CVSS 10 unauthenticated RCE via regex compiler (CVE-2026-110264)

› GitLab CE/EE (self-managed)

GitLab released a critical patch on Oct 21 2026 for CVE-2026-110264: an integer overflow in the bundled Onigmo / regex compiler that can allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute code on self-managed GitLab. CVSS 10.0; every CE/EE version from 7.0 (2014) is in range. Instances that only applied the Oct 12 regex fix remain vulnerable and must upgrade again.

› Linux kernel: ksmbd (in-kernel SMB server) and SMB Direct, skbuff/NFQUEUE networking, vmwgfx, nvmet

On Oct 21, Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative sent several unpatched Linux kernel vulnerability reports to security@kernel.org but Cc'd the public linux-kernel and subsystem lists, so full technical details (code paths, KASAN traces) are now public before fixes ship. The worst are two ksmbd (in-kernel SMB server) remote code execution bugs that ZDI scores CVSS 9.0: an SMB Direct integer underflow (needs an RDMA device and a writable share) and a protocol-dispatch race (needs a guest share). Also leaked: an skb_zerocopy local privilege escalation (CVSS 7.8), a vmwgfx out-of-bounds write LPE, and an nvmet info leak. No CVEs yet and no fixed mainline or stable release; the ksmbd race fix sits in the ksmbd maintainer tree and an SMB Direct fix is in a branch aimed at Linux 7.5. No exploitation reported. Only machines running ksmbd are exposed to the RCEs.

› LiteLLM (PyPI + official Docker/GHCR images)

On Oct 21 2026 attackers compromised LiteLLM’s release pipeline and published malicious litellm==1.107.0 to PyPI (live ~2 hours) plus compromised Docker Hub/GHCR tags (v1.107.0, latest, main-latest, main-stable). The wheels install cook.pth / cook.py / sitecustomize.py that steal cloud, developer and AI-tool credentials at every Python startup and open a remote-code loader. Second LiteLLM compromise of 2026.

ISC disclosed a remotely exploitable memory-corruption bug in BIND 9's named on Oct 21. An attacker who captures a GSS-TSIG signed UDP message (the Kerberos signing used for Active Directory-style dynamic DNS updates) can replay it while the negotiated key is still valid and, combined with crafted queries to a zone they control, may get remote code execution, or at least crash named. CVSS 8.1 (High). No workaround. Affects BIND 9.11.0 through 9.18.50, 9.20.0 through 9.20.29 and 9.21.0 through 9.21.26. Fixed in 9.20.30 and 9.21.27; ISC lists no 9.18 fix. ISC knows of no active exploitation. Debian trixie has a fixed package; Debian bookworm and Ubuntu are still waiting.

On Oct 21 2026 Node.js shipped security updates for 22.x, 24.x and 26.x fixing ten vulnerabilities. The headline issue is CVE-2026-111497, a high-severity Brotli decoder out-of-bounds write that can enable remote code execution when attacker-controlled Brotli data is decoded. The same release also fixes TLS hostname/IP bypasses and DNS NUL truncation, and refreshes the bundled CA store for the eMudhra incident.

On Oct 21 2026 Railway reported anomalous activity on systems storing customer environment variables. An unauthorized third party may have accessed encrypted env vars and, for some, obtained decrypted contents (API keys, DB/registry credentials). Railway says it believes this is part of a series of attacks on platform companies aimed at compromising AI inference providers, and asked upstream providers to revoke keys. Builds were paused platform-wide for ~a day; on Oct 22 they were restored for Enterprise and Pro, with Hobby/Free/Trial still pending. All users are told to rotate secrets while scoping continues.

› Signal (RingRTC calling library, @signalapp/ringrtc)

A bug in RingRTC, the open-source library behind Signal's voice and video calls, lets the other party on a call flood the call's state-machine event queue so a local hang-up gets stuck behind the backlog, and audio (possibly video) keeps flowing to them after the victim thinks the call ended. Affects every Signal client (Android, iOS, Desktop) embedding RingRTC before 2.72.0. Fixed in RingRTC 2.72.0 (released Sep 4 2026, disclosed Oct 20); a conceptual PoC is public, no known exploitation.

› EG Secure Solutions SiteGuard Server Edition ✓patched

EG Secure Solutions SiteGuard Server Edition contains an OS command injection vulnerability which may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands with root or SYSTEM privileges on the system running the affected product. Added to CISA KEV on 2026-10-20.

› Onamae Desktop Cloud (GMO Internet) ◐partial fix

GMO Internet’s Japanese VPS service Onamae Desktop Cloud said an attacker installed malicious programs in customer environments, forcing shutdown of as many as ~26,739 servers with no immediate restart date (mid-October 2026 reporting).

Siemens Software Center contains an uncontrolled search path element vulnerability that could allow an authenticated local attacker to place a specially crafted DLL in a directory that the application searches, leading to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the affected application. Added to CISA KEV on 2026-10-20.

› HTTP/3 / QPACK stacks (quic-go, Cloudflare quiche, lsquic, Bun, aioquic, h3, Wireshark, …)

FoxIO published research (Oct 20 2026) showing that missing or late decoded-header limits in QPACK let a tiny HTTP/3 HEADERS frame expand into huge server memory use (up to ~4000× on Bun). Seven of ten implementations tested were vulnerable; quic-go, Cloudflare quiche, lsquic and Wireshark are patched, while Bun, aioquic/mitmproxy and h3 remained unpatched at publication.

› OpenCode AI coding agent (Anomaly) on Windows and WSL

A command-injection flaw in the OpenCode AI coding agent let a malicious or later-hijacked remote MCP server run PowerShell commands on a developer's Windows or WSL machine when they started the MCP OAuth sign-in. The server-supplied authorization endpoint was passed unescaped to an old version of the open package. Anomaly fixed it in 1.18.33 on Sep 28 without a CVE or advisory, so scanners won't flag 1.0.137 through 1.18.32. macOS and Linux are not affected. Pillar Security found it and rates it 9.8; no in-the-wild exploitation reported.

› eMudhra / emSign Global TLS intermediates; any client shipping Mozilla-style CA stores

Eight eMudhra Global TLS intermediate CA private keys were found to be cryptographically weak / recoverable (researcher report Oct 18). Mozilla, Chrome, Apple and Microsoft blocked the intermediates; eMudhra revoked them Oct 19 and the ECC root was distrusted as a precaution. Downstream runtimes that ship their own trust stores (Go, Node.js, Electron, Python certifi, curl, etc.) needed emergency CA-bundle updates so they stop trusting the compromised chains.

› ConnectWise Cloud Backup / Microsoft 365 app identity

ConnectWise disabled Cloud Backup after a compromised credential let attackers authenticate as the application and sign in to at least 173 customer Microsoft 365 tenants.

Two critical remote-code-execution flaws in PHP core (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, aka “PHP2Shell”) were disclosed early after an embargo leak. Both score CVSS 9.2 and can let an unauthenticated attacker run code on servers serving PHP web requests, especially Apache mod_php. Patches shipped Oct 21 2026 (appliance vendors such as QNAP are still preparing fixes); exploitation attempts were observed before and after the patch, and watchTowr / AWS report active scanning.

› OpenCode Console (hosted service by Anomaly)

On the night of Oct 16 2026 an intruder reached a legacy OpenCode Console system that was being decommissioned and may have exposed third-party AI provider keys saved in Console workspaces. OpenCode says 1.4% of Console users (those with external providers linked) were affected and tied it to a large-scale distillation attack. Users reported unauthorized charges up to ~$1,700 and some Google Cloud project suspensions. Anthropic and Google revoked/blocked exposed keys; OpenAI refunded drawn credits. The OpenCode app itself (local keys) was not affected.

Four Plex Media Server flaws (CVE-2026-96652/96654/96655/96656), together called Plex2Shell, chain to unauthenticated admin-token theft and code execution. Researcher Zach Main published details Oct 16 and a PoC shortly after; exploitation of internet-facing servers (cryptominers + residential proxies) began by Oct 17. Fixed in 1.43.3.10861 (released earlier in August); CISA added the chain to KEV with a federal deadline of Oct 23.

FortiOS, FortiPAM, FortiProxy, and FortiSwitchManager contain a path traversal vulnerability that may allow an authenticated attacker with admin profile and at least read-write permissions to write or delete arbitrary files via specific CLI commands. Added to CISA KEV on 2026-10-16.

Multiple Atlassian products (Bitbucket Data Center ,Confluence Data Center, Jira Service Management Data Center, Jira Software Data Center, Bamboo Data Center, Crowd Data Center, Crucible and Fisheye) contain a files or directories accessible to external parties vulnerability which could allow an unauthenticated attacker to access specific files within the web application root directory in affected versions. Added to CISA KEV on 2026-10-15.

Zeabur disclosed an October 14–15 2026 security incident in which an attacker used leaked internal credentials stored in plaintext to access shared clusters in 9 regions, root into 101 Zeabur-managed GCP dedicated servers, and read the platform database, exposing ~3.22 million environment-variable records across 321,810 accounts. Zeabur is winding down: from December 1 2026 shared-cluster services pause and dedicated servers stop renewing, and on December 31 all services stop and service data is deleted. Refund and incident-claim requests close November 30. Users must rotate every secret stored on Zeabur and migrate off.

Ahsay AhsayCBS contains a command injection vulnerability that could allow a remote attacker to execute operating system commands via manipulation of the random parameter in the Replication Receiver component’s /rps/api/json/UpdateReceivers.do endpoint. This vulnerability can be chained with CVE-2026-105133. CISA added CVE-2026-105134, CVE-2026-105133 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2026-10-14 based on evidence of active exploitation.

Cisco Secure Email Gateway contains a relative path traversal vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to write arbitrary files on the underlying operating system. Added to CISA KEV on 2026-10-14.

Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS contains a code injection vulnerability that could allow an authenticated attacker with network access to execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the firewall. Added to CISA KEV on 2026-10-14.

› GoDaddy / Starfield TLS certificates (DV, OV, EV)

GoDaddy (Starfield) found that 404,607 TLS certificates carried policy information (policy OIDs, CPS URI) that didn't match its own published CP/CPS, which under the CA/Browser Forum Baseline Requirements means they must be revoked within five days. GoDaddy missed the Oct 18 deadline and says the certificates were revoked on Oct 21 2026. Nothing was hacked and no keys leaked, but sites still serving a revoked certificate can show browser warnings or become unreachable until the re-issued certificate is installed.

› Linux kernel networking (host side of KVM/Firecracker and similar)

Paulos Yibelo / pwn.ai found a Critical Linux networking flaw (CVE-2026-99999, CVSS 9.3) during Vercel’s $1M Sandbox challenge. Guest-controlled checksum metadata can rewrite an IPv4 header after validation
