A sample of today’s digest
What today’s lead call looks like in your inbox.
A typical issue carries five to seven CVEs, one or two tagged Patch now, the rest sorted by urgency. The intro tells you the standout. The footer lists what didn’t make the cut.
An attacker can inject shell commands through the Ansible Lightspeed VS Code extension's container and volume mount settings.
The call: Update the Ansible Lightspeed VS Code extension to the latest patched version from the VS Code marketplace.
Recent issues you could have triaged in five minutes:
Three command injections in Ansible Lightspeed, plus MongoDB RBAC bypass
CVE-2026-44189/44190/44191 all hit CVSS 7.8: opening a malicious project in VS Code gives an attacker shell access. MongoDB also has an 8.1 RBAC bypass (CVE-2026-13059) that lets low-privilege users read and write across tenant boundaries.
FortiSandbox, SharePoint, and WordPress RCE all exploited in the wild
Five actively exploited bugs today. Unauthenticated command execution on FortiSandbox (EPSS 0.84), a CVSS 9.8 WordPress REST API chain hitting 6.9.x and 7.0.x, unauth deserialization RCE in on-prem SharePoint, a DD-WRT UPnP overflow, and remote code execution in Langflow.
Langroid scores a perfect 10 RCE, plus two Juniper DoS bugs that crash your firewall
Langroid's broken eval() sandbox gives attackers full code execution (CVE-2026-54769, CVSS 10.0). A guardrails-detectors SSRF can steal cloud credentials (CVSS 9.3). Two Juniper SRX/MX flaws let a single packet crash flowd if SIP ALG or TCP proxy is active.
