Incomplete Documentation of Program Execution exists in the run-llama/llama_index library's JsonPickleSerializer component, affecting versions v0.12.27 through v0.12.40. This vulnerability allows remote code execution due to an insecure fallback to Python's pickle module. JsonPickleSerializer prioritizes deserialization using pickle.loads(), which can execute arbitrary code when processing untrusted data. Attackers can exploit this by crafting malicious payloads to achieve full system compromise. The root cause involves the use of an insecure fallback strategy without sufficient input validation or protective safeguards. Version 0.12.41 renames JsonPickleSerializer to PickleSerializer and adds a warning to the docs to only use PickleSerializer to deserialize safe things.

The web-push crate before 0.10.4 for Rust allows a denial of service (memory consumption) in the built-in clients via a large integer in a Content-Length header. The patch was initially made available in version 0.10.3, but version 0.10.3 has since been yanked.

The protobuf crate before 3.7.2 for Rust allows uncontrolled recursion in the protobuf::coded_input_stream::CodedInputStream::skip_group parsing of unknown fields in untrusted input.

A validation error in the MCP SDK can cause an unhandled exception when processing malformed requests, resulting in service unavailability (500 errors) until manually restarted. Impact may vary depending on the deployment conditions, and presence of infrastructure-level resilience measures. Thank you to Rich Harang for reporting this issue.

If a client deliberately triggers an exception after establishing a streamable HTTP session, this can lead to an uncaught ClosedResourceError on the server side, causing the server to crash and requiring a restart to restore service. Impact may vary depending on the deployment conditions, and presence of infrastructure-level resilience measures. Thank you to Rich Harang for reporting this issue.

Zipkin through 3.5.1 has a /heapdump endpoint (associated with the use of Spring Boot Actuator), a similar issue to CVE-2025-48927.

Cisco fixes critical root credential vulnerability in Unified CM rated CVSS 10 urging users to patch now to stop remote admin takeovers.

A vulnerability was found in Cockpit versions up to 2.11.3. This issue affects some unknown processing instances of the file /system/users/save. The manipulation of the arguments "name" or "email" leads to cross-site scripting. The attack may be initiated remotely. Upgrading to version 2.11.4 will address this issue. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure and acted accordingly. A patch and new release were made available very quickly.

### Summary Short descriptions are not properly sanitized by the ShortDescription before being inserted as HTML using `mw.util.addSubtitle`, allowing any user to insert arbitrary HTML into the DOM by editing a page. ### Details The description provided by the user via the `{{SHORTDESC:}}` parser function is insufficiently sanitized by the `sanitize()` function, as html entities are decoded: https://github.com/StarCitizenTools/mediawiki-extensions-ShortDescription/blob/7244b1e8b5cb6dbd7e546c5be7fed8a56e33d065/includes/Hooks/ParserHooks.php#L147-L159 Via JS, the short description is then passed to `mw.util.addSubtitle`, which inserts it as raw HTML: https://github.com/StarCitizenTools/mediawiki-extensions-ShortDescription/blob/7244b1e8b5cb6dbd7e546c5be7fed8a56e33d065/modules/ext.shortDescription.js#L8 https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/blob/96372101b3c579d9992e8a31a3ccd90a937cac47/resources/src/mediawiki.util/util.js#L552-L563 ### PoC 1.
