Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.


1) Insufficient verification of data authenticity (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-20354)

CWE-ID: CWE-345 - Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity

CVSSv4: 8.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information.
