PeopleSoft takeover exploited in the wild, plus a 9.1 CMS forgery bug in OpenSSL
An unauthenticated PeopleSoft PeopleTools compromise (CVE-2026-35273) is already being exploited. Also: a CVSS 9.1 CMS AuthEnvelopedData forgery affecting OpenSSL, Node.js, and QEMU (CVE-2026-34182), a Zoom mobile privilege escalation, a public exploit for a Revo Uninstaller kernel driver, and a SQLite FTS5 heap overflow.
Drop what you're doing if you run PeopleSoft. CVE-2026-35273 is an unauthenticated full takeover of PeopleTools, already exploited in the wild, and it needs zero user interaction. Behind that, a CVSS 9.1 OpenSSL CMS forgery bug and a handful of other fixes round out a busy Monday.
Today's CVEs
Sorted by urgencyCVE-2026-35273
CISA KEVAn unauthenticated attacker can fully take over your PeopleSoft PeopleTools instance because a critical function is missing authentication entirely. This is already exploited in the wild. No user interaction or special configuration needed: if your PeopleSoft is reachable, it's a target.
- Affected estate
- Anyone running Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools on-prem or in a hosted environment
- How to check
- Check your PeopleTools version under PeopleTools > Lifecycle Tools > Update Manager, or query the PSSTATUS table for your tools release level.
- Included because
- unauthenticated; internet-facing; exploited in the wild; full system takeover
- Action
- Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update addressing CVE-2026-35273. Restrict inbound network access to PeopleSoft web and app tiers while patching.
- Why it matters
- Attackers are already exploiting this to take full control of PeopleSoft instances with no credentials required.

CVE-2026-12193
NVDA heap-based buffer overflow in the RevoDetector.sys kernel driver (used by Revo Uninstaller 2.5.x and 2.6.x) lets a local attacker escalate privileges through a crafted IOCTL call. Exploit code is publicly available. The attacker needs local access first, so this is a privilege escalation path, not a remote entry point.
- Affected estate
- Anyone with Revo Uninstaller 2.5.x or 2.6.x installed on Windows workstations
- How to check
- Search your software inventory or run 'Get-WmiObject Win32_Product | Where-Object { $_.Name -like "*Revo*" }' to find installed versions. Confirm the driver version of RevoDetector.sys in System32\drivers.
- Included because
- public exploit available; local privilege escalation; kernel driver vulnerability
- Action
- Upgrade to Revo Uninstaller 2.7.0 or remove the software if it's not needed.
- Why it matters
- A public exploit exists for local privilege escalation through this kernel driver, giving attackers a quick path from user to SYSTEM.

CVE-2026-11824
MSRCA heap buffer overflow in SQLite's FTS5 full-text search engine (in the fts5ChunkIterate function) can be triggered when processing crafted FTS5 queries. This could lead to code execution in any application that embeds SQLite and allows user-supplied FTS5 queries. The fix landed in SQLite 3.53.2.
- Affected estate
- Anyone running SQLite before 3.53.2, including Azure Linux 3.0 users on the sqlite 3.44.0-3 package and any app that bundles an older SQLite with FTS5 enabled
- How to check
- Run 'sqlite3 --version' on your hosts. For Azure Linux, run 'tdnf list installed sqlite' to check the package version.
- Included because
- common embedded library; heap overflow with potential code execution; widely deployed
- Action
- Update to SQLite 3.53.2 or the latest patched Azure Linux package.
- Why it matters
- SQLite is embedded everywhere. If your app accepts user-driven FTS5 queries, this heap overflow is reachable and could lead to code execution.

CVE-2026-34182
MSRCA flaw in CMS AuthEnvelopedData processing lets an attacker forge messages that appear valid. This affects OpenSSL, Node.js, QEMU, EDK2, and cloud-hypervisor on Azure Linux 3.0. With a CVSS of 9.1, a successful attack could break message authenticity and confidentiality for anything relying on CMS enveloped data.
- Affected estate
- Azure Linux 3.0 users running OpenSSL 3.3.5-5, Node.js 24.14.1-3, QEMU 9.1.0-7, EDK2 20240524-17, or cloud-hypervisor 51.1.56-1, plus anyone using OpenSSL builds with CMS AuthEnvelopedData support
- How to check
- Run 'openssl version' and 'tdnf list installed openssl nodejs qemu edk2 cloud-hypervisor' on Azure Linux hosts. Check for the specific vulnerable package versions listed above.
- Included because
- CVSS 9.1; affects core crypto library (OpenSSL); multiple dependent packages; message forgery risk
- Action
- Run 'tdnf update openssl nodejs qemu edk2 cloud-hypervisor' on Azure Linux 3.0 hosts. For other distros, update OpenSSL to the patched release.
- Why it matters
- Forged CMS messages can bypass authenticity checks, which undermines trust in signed or encrypted payloads across your infrastructure.

CVE-2026-53408
NVDZoom Workplace on Android (before 7.0.4) and iOS (before 7.0.3) has an authorization bug in its custom URL scheme handler. An unauthenticated attacker on the network can trick a user into opening a crafted link, which escalates privileges within the Zoom app. This requires some user interaction (tapping a link), but no credentials are needed on the attacker's side.
- Affected estate
- Anyone with Zoom Workplace installed on managed Android or iOS devices, especially in BYOD or MDM-managed fleets
- How to check
- Query your MDM for Zoom Workplace app versions across managed devices, or check app version in Zoom > Settings > About on individual devices.
- Included because
- unauthenticated; network-accessible; CVSS 8.1; privilege escalation on mobile; widely deployed app
- Action
- Push Zoom Workplace 7.0.4 (Android) and 7.0.3 (iOS) or later through your MDM or app update policy.
- Why it matters
- An attacker on the same network can use a crafted URL to escalate privileges on a user's device through the Zoom app, no login required.
