Divi Membership CVE-2026-19660 (CVSS 9.8): unauth auth bypass via paypal_param → any-user login/admin takeover ≤2.3.0; no fix yet

Wordfence CNA CVE-2026-19660 (published 2 October 2026; disclosed 1 Oct; CVSS 3.1 9.8 Critical AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H): unauthenticated authentication bypass in DiviEngine’s Divi Membership WordPress plugin through 2.3.0. The process_paypal_callback function (hooked to init) accepts a base64-encoded paypal_param GET value with no PayPal IPN validation, signature check, ownership check, or nonce, then passes an attacker-controlled user ID to wp_set_current_user() / wp_set_auth_cookie() — full site takeover including administrators. The PayPal gateway class is instantiated on every front-end request even when PayPal is not enabled, so the hook is always registered. Finder credit: 0xd4rk5id3. Divi Engine changelog still lists 2.3.0 (1 Sep 2026) as newest at desk check — no patched release documented. Primary: CVE.org / Wordfence CNA; vendor changelog reference.

Docker Engine 29.8.2 fixes two flaws: a DNS answer mixing a loopback and an attacker IP can switch off TLS checks for a registry and leak credentials (CVE-2026-92543), and Swarm encrypted overlays accept forged VXLAN frames (CVE-2026-92542)

Docker published two Moby security advisories on 1 October 2026, with the CVE records following on 7 October; both are fixed in Docker Engine 29.8.2. CVE-2026-92543 (GHSA-7cfq-22r6-qp73, CVSS 4.0 score 7.6 High): Docker Engine always treats 127.0.0.0/8 and ::1/128 as insecure registry ranges, and it decides a registry is insecure if any one of the addresses its hostname resolves to falls in those ranges. Because the connection then re-dials the hostname rather than the matching address, an attacker who can shape DNS answers (one loopback address plus one of their own) can make the daemon skip certificate verification and allow plain-HTTP fallback, exposing registry credentials sent in X-Registry-Auth or substituting the image behind a trusted tag. Removing entries from insecure-registries does not help, and a trusted CA does not mitigate it. CVE-2026-92542 (GHSA-6m9p-4h64-m6vh, CVSS 4.0 score 6.9 Medium): on Linux Swarm nodes the firewall rules that mark VXLAN traffic for IPsec encryption also match datagrams forged by ordinary user processes, so an unprivileged local user can inject Ethernet frames into an encrypted overlay network on another node. No exploitation has been reported. Primary: Moby GitHub security advisories; listed on Tenable's newest CVE feed 8 Oct.

Dell System Update (DSU) CVE-2026-86360 (CVSS 9.6): unauthenticated path traversal → code execution as root on PowerEdge update tooling — plus four Highs; patch DSU 2.3.0.0

Dell's DSA-2026-324 (1 Oct 2026) fixes five flaws in Dell System Update, the command-line tool admins use to push BIOS, firmware and driver updates to PowerEdge servers on Linux and Windows. The critical one, CVE-2026-86360 (CVSS 3.1 9.6), is a path traversal that an unauthenticated remote attacker could use for filesystem access; Dell says it can be leveraged to run arbitrary code with root privileges and fully compromise the application and the underlying operating system. The same release fixes CVE-2026-86361 and CVE-2026-86362 (both 8.2, local low-privileged elevation of privilege), CVE-2026-63697 (7.6, improper certificate validation leading to remote execution by a high-privileged attacker) and CVE-2026-71168 (7.3, local path traversal leading to code execution). Dell has not flagged any of them as exploited. Reporters credited by Dell: Ori Gabriel, saltedfish, and Nir Yehoshua of Cipher Security Labs. Wire: BleepingComputer 5 Oct.

Fortra BoKS (1 Oct): three Criticals — CVE-2026-79901 CVSS 9.9 predictable AD keytab passwords; CVE-2026-12627 9.8 unauth autoregister overflow; CVE-2026-79898 9.1 crlserver root RCE — patch 8.1.0.24 / 9.0.0.7

Fortra Product Security published a 1 October 2026 BoKS (Core Privileged Access Manager) advisory batch covering eight flaws, three Critical. CVE-2026-79901 (FI-2026-012; CVSS 3.1 9.9; AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H): in deployments using BoKS keytab management, boks_keytabmd generates Active Directory service-account passwords from a predictable PRNG seeded with the current Unix timestamp — an attacker who knows the SPN and can estimate password-change time can reproduce a limited candidate set and verify offline (standard AD account can request a service ticket; admin access to BoKS/host/keytab not normally required). Fix: upgrade active BoKS Master to boks-server 9.0.0.7, restart BoKS, then rotate all affected/uncertain service-account passwords via BoKS keytab management and rebuild keytabs after max service-ticket lifetime + clock skew — installing the update alone does not secure passwords generated by an affected release. CVE-2026-12627 (FI-2026-017; CVSS 9.8; AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H): stack buffer overflow in boks_autoregisterd — remote attacker with network access to the autoregistration service (default port 6507) may trigger memory corruption; affected boks-server 8.1.0.0–8.1.0.23 and 9.0.0.0–9.0.0.6; fixed 8.1.0.24 / 9.0.0.7; workaround restrict/disable autoregistration until patched.

ASUS routers CVE-2026-14157 (CVSS 4.0 9.4): crafted VPN client config → arbitrary commands; CVE-2026-13313 8.9 Telnet/root — update firmware

ASUS product security notices (last updated 1 October 2026; amplified by CyberInsider 1 Oct and Tom's Hardware 3 Oct) address two authenticated remote flaws in consumer/prosumer router firmware reachable via the web management interface. CVE-2026-14157 (Critical, CVSS v4.0 9.4): a specially crafted VPN client configuration file uploaded through the management UI can cause arbitrary command execution on firmware series 3.0.0.6_102. Until patched, ASUS says import VPN client configs only from trusted, verifiable sources — avoid publicly shared or unknown-origin OVPN/profile files. CVE-2026-13313 (High, CVSS v4.0 8.9): authenticated attacker can bypass checks (debug code left active) to enable Telnet and run commands with elevated/root privileges; affects 3.0.0.4_386, 3.0.0.4_388, and 3.0.0.6_102 series. ASUS also recommends a strong unique admin password (≥10 chars, upper/number/symbol mix) and against running untrusted scripts/tools/commands on LAN hosts that can reach the router UI. Neither router bulletin states exploitation in the wild. Separate same-day board notice: CVE-2026-93495 (CVSS v4.0 7.0) improper BIOS init — physical crafted device → memory R/W on listed Z390/C246 boards (BIOS 2203 / 1502).

Ionic Capacitor CVE-2026-103922 (CVSS 9.3): WebView path bypass loads remote content at app origin; patch 6.2.2/7.6.9/8.3.5+/8.5.1

GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-rvm3-566m-v7fv / CVE-2026-103922 (published 1 October 2026; GitHub CNA CVSS 3.1 9.3 Critical; CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N): Capacitor Android/iOS WebView navigation guard validated host and scheme but not path. A victim who opens an untrusted link inside an affected app can navigate a frame to /_capacitor_http_interceptor_; the native HTTP proxy fetches attacker-chosen remote content and returns it as a document at the application origin, giving same-origin access to localStorage, cookies, and registered Capacitor plugin APIs (device data, tokens, files — plugin-dependent). Disabling CapacitorHttp does not mitigate on vulnerable builds because the proxy path was still served. Affected: >=6.0.0 <6.2.2, >=7.0.0 <7.6.9, >=8.0.0 <8.3.5, >=8.3.5 <8.4.3, >=8.5.0 <8.5.1.

Apple iCloud Mail (SEC Consult 1 Oct): free-account From-header smuggling passed SPF/DKIM/DMARC — fixed; $15k bounty

SEC Consult Vulnerability Lab blog (1 October 2026; researcher Timo Longin) details two From-header smuggling flaws in Apple iCloud’s outbound SMTP processing that let an authenticated free iCloud account send mail appearing to come from arbitrary @icloud.com addresses (examples include high-value identities such as tim.cook@icloud.com or no-reply@icloud.com) while receiving systems still recorded SPF, DKIM, and DMARC pass. Root cause: inconsistent parsing between iCloud’s outbound validators and later cleanup/relay stages (carriage-return / line-break tricks in the From: header; SMTP dot-stuffing / “dot-peeling” discrepancies). SPF passed because Apple’s legitimate infrastructure sent the message; DKIM passed because iCloud signed after the affected stage; DMARC passed on icloud.com alignment. Carriage-return issue first reported to Apple 21 May 2024; Apple adjusted handling; researchers found a second bypass; final fixes confirmed December 2025; public write-up 1 Oct 2026. Apple Security Bounty awarded US$15,000. No CVE id assigned in the SEC Consult blog. Wires: Cyber Security News / SecurityWeek “In Other News” 2 Oct. Primary: SEC Consult blog.
