remote code execution

Microsoft’s advisory for CVE-2026-26107 is labeled a “Microsoft Excel Remote Code Execution Vulnerability,” yet the published CVSS vector for the same issue is CVSS:3.1/AV:L/... (Attack Vector: Local). That apparent mismatch—“Remote” in the advisory headline vs. AV:L (Local) in the CVSS...

Microsoft’s advisory for CVE-2026-26113, labeled as a “Microsoft Office Remote Code Execution Vulnerability,” has sparked confusion across security teams because the published CVSS vector lists the Attack Vector as Local (AV:L) — a seeming contradiction that deserves a careful, technical...

Microsoft's March 2026 advisory for CVE-2026-26112 calls the flaw a “Microsoft Excel Remote Code Execution Vulnerability”, and that short label has left many defenders scratching their heads because the published CVSS v3.1 vector for the same entry records Attack Vector = Local (AV:L). This...

Microsoft's security update for March 10, 2026, closed a high‑severity remote code execution hole in the Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) that Microsoft track as CVE‑2026‑26111 — an integer overflow / wraparound defect in RRAS that, if successfully triggered, can allow an...

Microsoft has published an advisory for CVE-2026-25172 — a high‑severity remote code execution flaw in the Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) — that Microsoft and multiple independent trackers say is caused by an integer overflow / wraparound in RRAS and can be triggered remotely...

Microsoft’s Security Response Center (MSRC) has assigned CVE‑2026‑21536 to a remote code execution (RCE) class vulnerability affecting the Microsoft Devices Pricing Program (the cloud-backed service used by Microsoft and authorized channel partners to manage device pricing and incentives). The...

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...
