Progress MarkLogic Server Patched for 10 Vulnerabilities Including Seven Critical Issues
Progress Software has issued an update for its MarkLogic Server database product to address ten security vulnerabilities, seven of which are rated critical.
The company published its security advisory on 5 August 2026, revealing multiple issues that received CVSS v3.1 base scores of 9.0 or above. Three vulnerabilities stand out with scores of 9.9: CVE-2026-7329, CVE-2026-8709, and CVE-2026-9193.
Privilege Escalation via REST Interface
CVE-2026-7329 allows an attacker possessing only a low-privileged REST role to escalate to full administrator rights by submitting specially crafted queries. Successful exploitation grants the ability to perform privileged database operations and access data that would normally be restricted.
Two additional high-severity flaws further increase the risk surface. CVE-2026-8709 is caused by improper patch processing within the REST document interface and can be leveraged for unauthorized privilege escalation. CVE-2026-9193 affects the Hadoop integration module, where insufficient permission checks enable users to interact with the security database in ways that should be blocked.
Organizations running MarkLogic Server are strongly advised to apply the latest patches without delay to mitigate these critical risks.

Critical CVE-2026-61500 in Rejetto HFS Allows Admin Session Forgery Leading to Remote Code Execution
A critical vulnerability tracked as CVE-2026-61500 is being actively exploited in Rejetto HTTP File Server (HFS), enabling unauthenticated attackers to forge administrator sessions and achieve remote code execution. The flaw impacts versions 3.0.0 through 3.2.0 and was addressed in release 3.2.1, making immediate updates essential for any internet-exposed instances. The root cause lies in the use of JavaScript Math.random() to generate the session cookie signing key instead of a cryptographically secure random number generator. Attackers can reconstruct the internal state of this weak PRNG from login responses, allowing them to create valid admin cookies. Once authenticated as an administrator, the attacker can abuse the server_code functionality to execute arbitrary JavaScript on the server. Exploitation activity was first observed on October 1, 2026, targeting U.S. systems and attributed to an unidentified actor based in China, following the public release of a Python proof-of-concept in late September.
Dell Patches Six Critical Flaws in Container Storage Modules for Kubernetes
Dell has fixed six vulnerabilities in its Container Storage Modules that integrate storage systems with Kubernetes clusters. Two of the issues received the maximum CVSS score of 10.0, allowing remote unauthenticated attackers to obtain full administrative credentials for registered storage backends. Additional flaws enable privilege escalation to root on cluster nodes, exposure of hardcoded credentials, and leakage of Kubernetes secrets across the entire cluster. All versions prior to 1.17.0 are affected, with the fixes delivered in version 1.18.0. No workarounds exist, and Dell recommends rotating JWT signing keys after applying the update because the previous keys must be considered compromised.
Critical Sandbox Bypass Flaw in GitLab AI Gateway Enables Remote Command Execution
GitLab has released patches for a critical vulnerability in its GitLab AI Gateway component that allows authenticated users to bypass sandbox restrictions and execute arbitrary commands. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-90970, resides in the custom flow prompt template processing of the Duo Agent Platform and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.9. Self-hosted deployments are affected, while GitLab’s own hosted AI Gateway service has already been updated. The company urges immediate upgrades to versions 19.4.1, 19.3.2, or 19.2.4. The vulnerability can be triggered under specific conditions by users with access to the Duo Agent Platform through crafted flow configurations.
WebPros Releases Critical Patches for Three Vulnerabilities in cPanel & WHM
WebPros International has published security updates addressing three critical vulnerabilities in its cPanel & WHM hosting management platform. All three issues received the highest severity rating of Critical. The flaws include CVE-2026-93698, an input validation weakness in the Multilang adminbin component that could allow root-level operating system command execution. Two additional stored cross-site scripting vulnerabilities were also fixed, one of which is CVE-2026-93697 affecting the Mass Modify Accounts interface in WHM. Successful exploitation of the XSS flaws could let low-privileged accounts hijack administrator sessions. The updates were made available on September 29, 2026, and carry CVSS v3.0 base scores reaching 9.9.
