Summary
Secure BootROM of RK3588s SoC is vulnerable to a time-of-check to time-of-use attack when booting from external media (SPI NOR or NAND, EMMC or SD). The code reads the header of the next-stage loader twice; the first read is partial and contains only hashes of executable modules, the second is complete including signature. Authenticity of modules is checked against partial data from the first read, allowing an attacker with physical access to modify data and execute arbitrary code with highest privileges (EL3).
Risk Assessment
An attacker with physical access to the device can gain full control over the system, leading to complete compromise of the device.
Recommendation
Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.

OpenEMR before 8.3.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the RingCentral RCFaxClient disposeDocument() method of oe-module-faxsms that allows authenticated attackers to read and write arbitrary files via the file_path parameter. Attackers can use action=download to read credentials and source code, or action=setup with base64 content to write web-executable files for code execution.

OpenEMR before 8.3.0 contains an SQL injection vulnerability in the Fee Sheet drug-inventory lookup (DrugSalesService::sellDrug) that interpolates the prod[N][warehouse] POST field into an ORDER BY clause. Low-privileged authenticated users can submit Fee Sheet product lines with constant subqueries to run a time-based blind oracle, extracting patient data and users_secure bcrypt hashes.

OpenEMR before 8.3.0 contains a broken access control and path traversal vulnerability in the fax/sms module disposeDocument action via an unvalidated file_path parameter. Authenticated low-privilege users can read sqlconf.php to recover database credentials and write arbitrary files as the web user, enabling remote code execution.

OpenEMR from 7.0.1 before 8.4.0 contains a flaw in src/Common/Auth/OneTimeAuth.php that ignores the enforce_onetime_use and max_access_count flags, never revokes consumed service_auth tokens, and checks login_pin without rate limiting or strict comparison. Attackers holding a captured token can replay it or brute-force the PIN to open patient-portal sessions exposing PHI.

Kyverno from 1.19.1 before 1.19.2 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in the apiCall namespace clamp that allows namespace tenants to issue cross-namespace and cluster-scoped API requests by appending malformed percent-escapes to urlPath. Attackers can create namespaced Policies whose apiCall runs as the admission-controller ServiceAccount to read other namespaces' resources and create mutating webhooks, escalating to cluster admin.

Craft CMS from 5.0.0 before 5.11.2 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability that allows anonymous GraphQL clients to read out-of-scope section entries via prev/next fields. Attackers can chain next hops from one visible in-scope entry to enumerate entries and read titles, slugs, and custom-field content from withheld sections.
- CVE-2026-123614Critical
imgproxy from 4.0.0 before 4.0.16 contains an integer overflow in the ICO loader that allows remote attackers to trigger a heap buffer overflow via a crafted data_size value. Attackers can submit a crafted ICO image whose data_size wraps the allocation in vips/icoload.c, corrupting heap memory to crash the process or achieve code execution.

OpenAM from 14.0.0 before 16.1.4 contains an information disclosure vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to read live session tokens from the notification WebSocket. Attackers can bypass the agent-only check through an unvalidated internal forward on legacy Liberty ID-FF endpoints, collecting iPlanetDirectoryPro tokens to hijack user and administrator sessions.
Original NVD description (English source)
Secure BootROM of RK3588s SoC is vulnerable to a time-of-check to time-of-use attack in case of booting from external media (SPI NOR or NAND, EMMC or SD). The code reads the header of the next-stage loader twice. The header contains hashes of the executable modules and is signed with a private key, the public part of which is verified against the SHA256 digest blown in the OTP. The first read is only partial and contains only the hashes of the executable modules. The second is complete, including the header signature. Although the header is verified based on the fully read data, the authenticity of the executable modules is checked against the partial data from the first read. An attacker with physical access to a device containing RK3588s SoC can easily modify the next-stage loader data on-the-fly using a low-cost SD-card or SPI NOR/NAND or EMMC emulator. Even a simple ultra low-cost circuit comprising two memory chips (containing the same data but different headers - the original and the modified one) and a multiplexer can be used to carry out an attack. This can lead to arbitrary code execution with the highest privileges available (EL3). This issue affects RK3588s: RK3588s SoC BootROM (secure) 350B20210512V100 and possibly others.
