CVE-2026-31985

Disabled and non-configurable TLS certificate validation in n2os-tui when connecting the Remote Collector to a Guardian or CMC, in Remote Collector before v26.2.0

When the upstream Guardian or CMC was configured in the Remote Collector via n2os-tui, the generated configuration disabled TLS certificate verification, and no option was provided to enable it. A malicious actor could perform a man-in-the-middle attack and intercept the communication between the Remote Collector and the Guardian or CMC. This could result in theft of the sync token, impersonation of the server, injection of spoofed data (such as false asset information or vulnerabilities) into the Guardian or CMC, or disruption of the data flow between the Remote Collector and the Guardian or CMC.

Mjolnir v1.9.0 accepts commands from any room

🚨 A moderation bot can be tricked into obeying anyone in its chat room! Mjolnir v1.9.0 has a vulnerability that allows unauthorized users to wield its powers — that’s a recipe for chaos! 🔥 Think of Mjolnir like a restaurant kitchen. If the chef leaves the door unlocked, anyone can waltz in and start cooking without a reservation — they could ruin a whole dinner service! An attacker could potentially execute server management commands, accessing sensitive moderation features and causing absolute havoc in the chat rooms. Imagine a rowdy group overtaking the head chef's authority and throwing a wild party in the kitchen — it could lead to data leaks, user harassment, or even server downtime!

A vulnerability in the SFTP server implementation for Cisco Nexus 3000 Series Switches and 9000 Series Switches in standalone NX-OS mode could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to download or overwrite files from the underlying operating system of an affected device. This vulnerability is due to a logic error when verifying the user role when an SFTP connection is opened to an affected device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by connecting and authenticating via SFTP as a valid, non-administrator user. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to read or overwrite files from the underlying operating system with the privileges of the authenticated user. There are workarounds that address this vulnerability.
