| CVE-2025-32777 | Hig | 0.46 | — | 0.01 | Apr 30, 2025 | Volcano is a Kubernetes-native batch scheduling system. Prior to versions 1.11.2, 1.10.2, 1.9.1, 1.11.0-network-topology-preview.3, and 1.12.0-alpha.2, attacker compromise of either the Elastic service or the extender plugin can cause denial of service of the scheduler. This is a privilege escalation, because Volcano users may run their Elastic service and extender plugins in separate pods or nodes from the scheduler. In the Kubernetes security model, node isolation is a security boundary, and as such an attacker is able to cross that boundary in Volcano's case if they have compromised either the vulnerable services or the pod/node in which they are deployed. The scheduler will become unavailable to other users and workloads in the cluster. The scheduler will either crash with an unrecoverable OOM panic or freeze while consuming excessive amounts of memory. This issue has been patched in versions 1.11.2, 1.10.2, 1.9.1, 1.11.0-network-topology-preview.3, and 1.12.0-alpha.2. | |

| CVE-2026-44679 | Med | 0.45 | — | 0.00 | May 14, 2026 | Tuist is a virtual platform team for Swift app devs. Prior to 1.180.10, the forgot password flow allows an unauthenticated attacker to repeatedly trigger password reset emails for a known account without server-side throttling. In self-hosted deployments, this can be abused to send large volumes of unwanted email and consume downstream email delivery resources. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.180.10. | |
| CVE-2026-27887 | Med | 0.45 | — | 0.00 | Feb 26, 2026 | Spin is an open source developer tool for building and running serverless applications powered by WebAssembly. When Spin is configured to allow connections to a database or web server which could return responses of unbounded size (e.g. tables with many rows or large content bodies), Spin may in some cases attempt to buffer the entire response before delivering it to the guest, which can lead to the host process running out of memory, panicking, and crashing. In addition, a malicious guest application could incrementally insert a large number of rows or values into a database and then retrieve them all in a single query, leading to large host allocations. Spin 3.6.1, SpinKube 0.6.2, and `containerd-shim-spin` 0.22.1 have been patched to address the issue. As a workaround, configure Spin to only allow access to trusted databases and HTTP servers which limit response sizes. | |

| CVE-2026-42294 | Hig | 0.42 | 7.5 | 0.00 | May 9, 2026 | Argo Workflows is an open source container-native workflow engine for orchestrating parallel jobs on Kubernetes. Prior to versions 3.7.14 and 4.0.5, the Webhook Interceptor loads the entire request body into memory before authenticating the request or verifying its signature. This occurs on the /api/v1/events/ endpoint, which is publicly accessible (albeit intended for webhooks). An attacker can send a request with an extremely large body (e.g., multiple gigabytes), causing the Argo Server to allocate excessive memory, potentially leading to an Out-Of-Memory (OOM) crash and denial of service. This issue has been patched in versions 3.7.14 and 4.0.5. | |
| CVE-2026-42189 | Hig | 0.42 | 7.5 | 0.00 | May 8, 2026 | Russh is a Rust SSH client & server library. Prior to version 0.60.1, a pre-authentication denial-of-service vulnerability exists in the server's keyboard-interactive authentication handler. A malicious client can crash any russh-based server that implements keyboard-interactive auth (e.g., for 2FA/TOTP) with a single malformed packet, requiring no credentials. This issue has been patched in version 0.60.1. | |
| CVE-2025-69233 | Med | 0.42 | 6.5 | 0.00 | May 8, 2026 | Due to multiple time-of-check time-of-use race conditions in the resource count check and increment logic, as well as missing validations, users of the platform are able to exceed the allocation limits configured for their accounts/domains. This can be used by an attacker to degrade the infrastructure's resources and lead to denial of service conditions. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache CloudStack versions 4.20.3.0 or 4.22.0.1, or later, which fixes this issue. | |
| CVE-2026-42437 | Hig | 0.42 | 7.5 | 0.00 | May 5, 2026 | OpenClaw versions 2026.4.9 before 2026.4.10 contain a denial of service vulnerability in the voice-call realtime WebSocket path that accepts oversized frames without proper validation.
