remote code execution

The discovery of CVE-2023-49569 exposed a strikingly dangerous gap in a widely used pure-Go Git library: maliciously crafted Git server replies can trigger a path traversal flaw in go-git clients that, in the worst case, enables full remote code execution (RCE) on hosts that consume untrusted...

An unbounded memcpy in U-Boot’s NFS reply handler left a wide swath of embedded and development hardware exposed to remote memory corruption and — in many realistic configurations — remote code execution during network boot operations, a defect formally tracked as CVE-2019-14198. (nvd.nist.gov)...

The U‑Boot bootloader contains a critical NFS parsing bug that was assigned CVE‑2019‑14193: an unbounded memcpy in the nfs_readlink_reply handler that uses an attacker‑controlled length without validation, allowing remotely supplied NFS responses to trigger memory corruption and, in the worst...

If you’re running Windows 11, update now — Microsoft has closed a high‑severity remote code execution flaw in the modern Notepad app that could let a single click in a Markdown file turn into code execution under your user account. Background: Notepad’s unexpected attack surface Notepad has been...

Microsoft has patched a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in the modern Windows Notepad app — a flaw that turns a seemingly inert Markdown (.md) file into a potential attack vector if a user opens it in Notepad and clicks a crafted link. Background / Overview Notepad’s transformation...

Microsoft’s February Patch Tuesday closed a dangerous loophole in the modern Notepad app that could let an attacker turn a simple Markdown (.md) file into a remote code execution (RCE) trap — a single click on a crafted link inside Notepad’s Markdown view could launch unverified protocols and...

Microsoft has publicly registered CVE‑2026‑21244 as a serious Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability in the Windows Hyper‑V stack, and administrators must treat it as an operational emergency: vendor guidance is live, patches are mapped to specific KBs, and defensive playbooks should be...

AVEVA Process Optimization has been placed on high alert after a coordinated advisory warned that multiple, high‑severity vulnerabilities in the product could allow remote code execution, SQL injection, privilege escalation, and disclosure of sensitive information — a set of conditions that...

Title: Why CVE-2026-20950 is labeled “Remote Code Execution” even though CVSS lists AV:L (Local) — a practical guide for Windows admins Introduction Short answer: “Remote” in the CVE title describes the attacker’s location (they can be off‑host and deliver a malicious file remotely); the CVSS...

Microsoft’s CVE entry for the Office vulnerability CVE‑2026‑20952 is labeled a “Remote Code Execution” issue even though the published CVSS vector shows the Attack Vector as Local (AV:L) — this is intentional language, not an error: the CVE headline signals where the attacker can be located and...

Microsoft’s advisory that lists CVE-2026-20948 as a “Microsoft Word Remote Code Execution Vulnerability” is not mistaken when a published CVSS vector shows Attack Vector = Local (AV:L); the two labels answer different operational questions and together give a fuller picture of exploit impact and...

Microsoft’s security advisory listing for CVE-2026-21219 identifies a remote code execution risk in the Windows Inbox COM Objects (Global Memory) code paths — a family of memory-safety defects that Microsoft has acknowledged and for which vendor updates are the recommended remediation...

A newly disclosed and patched vulnerability—tracked as CVE-2026-20854—targets the Windows Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) and is classified as a remote code execution (RCE) weakness that can be triggered over the network without elevated privileges. The issue was bundled into...

Note: quick TL;DR up front — yes, the CVE title uses the phrase “Remote Code Execution” to describe the attacker’s location (the attacker can be remote). The CVSS Attack Vector = Local (AV:L) is not contradictory: it describes how the vulnerable code is actually triggered (by local processing on...

Microsoft’s advisory for CVE-2026-20953 is labeled a Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability while the published CVSS base vector reports the Attack Vector as AV:L (Local) — a phrasing mismatch that has caused confusion among administrators, security teams, and risk managers. The apparent...

Short answer (TL;DR) The CVE title says "Remote Code Execution" because a remote attacker can deliver a malicious Word file and cause code to run on the victim machine (attacker origin / impact). The CVSS Attack Vector = Local (AV:L) because the vulnerable code actually executes inside a local...

Microsoft’s January Patch Tuesday included CVE-2026-20944, a Microsoft Word vulnerability described in vendor advisories as a Remote Code Execution (RCE) but scored in CVSS with an Attack Vector of Local (AV:L) — a seeming contradiction that has confused admins and security teams. The short...

Microsoft’s brief CVE title and the CVSS vector are answering two different questions: the CVE headline tells you what an off‑host attacker can ultimately accomplish (arbitrary code execution on a target), while the CVSS Attack Vector (AV) reports where the vulnerable code must be executed at...

Microsoft’s tracking entry for CVE-2025-64676 shows a confirmed vulnerability in Microsoft Purview’s eDiscovery component that can lead to remote code execution (RCE); the vendor entry is the authoritative signal that an exploitable defect exists and that administrators must treat the issue as...

Apache HTTP Server has a newly disclosed vulnerability tracked as CVE-2025-58098 that causes the Server Side Includes (SSI) processor to pass a shell-escaped query string into the output of <!--#exec cmd="…"--> directives when mod_cgid (but not mod_cgi) is enabled — a bug fixed in the 2.4.66...
