Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of two now-patched security flaws in the n8n workflow automation platform, including two critical bugs that could result in arbitrary command execution. The vulnerabilities are listed below - CVE-2026-27577 (CVSS score: 9.4) - Expression sandbox escape leading to remote code execution (RCE) CVE-2026-27493 (CVSS score: 9.5) - Unauthenticated expression evaluation via n8n's Form nodes "CVE-2026-27577 is a sandbox escape in the expression compiler: a missing case in the AST rewriter lets process slip through untransformed, giving any authenticated expression full RCE," Pillar Security researcher Eilon Cohen, who discovered and reported the issues, said in a report shared with The Hacker News. The cybersecurity company described CVE-2026-27493 as a "double-evaluation bug" in n8n's Form nodes that could be abused for expression injection by taking advantage of the fact that the form endpoints are publi...

SAP has released security updates to address two critical security flaws that could be exploited to achieve arbitrary code execution on affected systems. The vulnerabilities in question listed below - CVE-2019-17571 (CVSS score: 9.8) - A code injection vulnerability in SAP Quotation Management Insurance application (FS-QUO) CVE-2026-27685 (CVSS score: 9.1) - An insecure deserialization vulnerability in SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal Administration "The application uses an outdated artifact of Apache Log4j 1.2.17 that is vulnerable to CVE-2019-17571," SAP security company Onapsis said . "It allows an unprivileged attacker to execute arbitrary code remotely on the server, causing high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the application." CVE-2026-27685, on the other hand, stems from missing or insufficient validation during the deserialization of uploaded content, which could allow an attacker to upload untrusted or malicious content...

Microsoft on Tuesday released patches for a set of 84 new security vulnerabilities affecting various software components, including two that have been listed as publicly known. Of these, eight are rated Critical, and 76 are rated Important in severity. Forty-six of the patched vulnerabilities relate to privilege escalation, followed by 18 remote code execution, 10 information disclosure, four spoofing, four denial-of-service, and two security feature bypass flaws. The fixes are in addition to 10 vulnerabilities that have been addressed in its Chromium-based Edge browser since the release of the February 2026 Patch Tuesday update . The two publicly disclosed zero-days are CVE-2026-26127 (CVSS score: 7.5), a denial-of-service vulnerability in .NET, and CVE-2026-21262 (CVSS score: 8.8), an elevation of privilege vulnerability in SQL Server. The vulnerability with the highest CVSS score in this month's update is a critical remote code execution flaw in the Microsoft Devices ...

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Tuesday added a recently disclosed security flaw impacting Broadcom VMware Aria Operations to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities ( KEV ) catalog, citing active exploitation in the wild. The high-severity vulnerability, CVE-2026-22719 (CVSS score: 8.1), has been described as a case of command injection that could allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands. "A malicious unauthenticated actor may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary commands, which may lead to remote code execution in VMware Aria Operations while support-assisted product migration is in progress," the company said in an advisory released late last month. The shortcoming was addressed, along withCVE-2026-22720, a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability, and CVE-2026-22721, a privilege escalation vulnerability that could result in administrative access. It impacts the following products - VMware Cloud Foundatio...

Google on Monday disclosed that a high-severity security flaw impacting an open-source Qualcomm component used in Android devices has been exploited in the wild. The vulnerability in question is CVE-2026-21385 (CVSS score: 7.8), a buffer over-read in the Graphics component. "Memory corruption when adding user-supplied data without checking available buffer space," Qualcomm said in an advisory, describing it as an integer overflow. The chipmaker said the flaw was reported to it through Google's Android Security team on December 18, 2025. Customers were notified of the security defect on February 2, 2026. There are currently no details on how the vulnerability is being exploited in the wild. However, Google acknowledged in its monthly Android security bulletin that "there are indications that CVE-2026-21385 may be under limited, targeted exploitation." Google's March 2026 update contains patches for a total of 129 vulnerabilities, including a critica...
