CVE-2026-45434 — Apache OFBiz LoginWorker checkLogin Password-Change Flow Authentication Bypass RCE

1. Overview A vulnerability exists in Apache OFBiz’s login authentication workflow that allows an attacker to bypass a forced password-change restriction and achieve remote code execution. When an administrator sets the requirePasswordChange flag on a user account — for example after a credential leak, during new employee onboarding, or as a default on demo accounts — the account is supposed to be locked out of all functionality until the user changes their password through the dedicated ChangePassword form. However, LoginWorker.checkLogin() fails to recognize "requirePasswordChange" as an authentication failure, treating it identically to a successful login. An attacker who knows the current password of a locked account can bypass the restriction by injecting requirePasswordChange=Y as an HTTP request parameter along with a new password, causing the login and password change to execute inline and granting immediate access to the requested endpoint. Combined with ProgramExport.groovy lacking permission checks and a Groovy sandbox in versions prior to 24.09.06, this enables arbitrary OS command execution in a single HTTP request. Apache addressed this vulnerability in version 24.09.06. ...

CVE-2026-23412 — Linux Kernel Netfilter BPF Hook Use-After-Free LPE

1. Overview A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel’s BPF netfilter link implementation. The bpf_nf_link_lops operations structure uses synchronous deallocation (.dealloc) instead of RCU-deferred freeing (.dealloc_deferred), allowing a use-after-free when concurrent hook enumeration via nfnetlink races with BPF link destruction. The UAF on the kmalloc-192 slab cache is exploitable for local privilege escalation through heap spray and function pointer hijacking. The Linux kernel community addressed this vulnerability in kernel version 7.0-rc5. ...

CVE-2026-41089 — Microsoft Windows Netlogon BuildSamLogonResponse Stack-based Buffer Overflow RCE

1. Overview A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Windows Netlogon service’s DC locator ping response handler. When a domain controller processes a CLDAP search request, it serializes response data including attacker-supplied and server-side strings into a fixed-size stack buffer without adequate bounds checking. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send a single crafted CLDAP packet to a domain controller’s UDP port 389, causing the Netlogon service to crash the LSASS process and force the domain controller to reboot. The exploitability depends on the target domain controller’s DNS naming configuration — domain controllers with longer DNS domain names and hostnames are vulnerable. Microsoft addressed this vulnerability in the May 2026 security update. ...
