Summary
cjbassi/gotop is vulnerable to local argument injection via its process termination functionality. The process name is passed directly to pkill without sanitization, so a local attacker can create a process with a crafted name beginning with -- (e.g. containing a target user's UID). When the user running gotop invokes the kill feature on that process, pkill interprets the crafted name as a command-line option, terminating all processes owned by the targeted user. The product is no longer actively supported and the vulnerability has not been fixed; it was confirmed at version 3.0.0.
Risk Assessment
A local attacker can cause mass termination of processes owned by a chosen user, leading to data loss or service disruption. The lack of support and fixes means the risk remains indefinitely.
Recommendation
Stop using cjbassi/gotop or replace it with an actively maintained tool, as the vulnerability will not be fixed. If use is unavoidable, restrict privileges of users running gotop and avoid using the kill feature on untrusted processes.

- CVE-2026-124057Critical
A security flaw has been discovered in TOTOLINK CA300-PoE 6.2c.884. This impacts the function setWiFiMultipleConfig of the file /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi. Manipulation of the argument Key1Str1 results in a buffer overflow. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks.
- CVE-2026-123966Critical
A vulnerability was found in Tenda AC19 version 16.03.10.07 in the saveParentControlInfo function of the /goform/saveParentControlInfo file. Manipulating the deviceId argument causes a heap-based buffer overflow. The attack can be carried out remotely, and the exploit has been publicly disclosed.
- CVE-2026-120984Critical
A flaw was found in the Keycloak server's client management component. When a client is created or imported with authorization services enabled, the system fails to properly clear an internal session attribute used during setup. An authenticated attacker with client management permissions can bypass security controls and upload a malicious JavaScript policy that executes on the server.
- CVE-2026-122041Critical
The Checkout Field Editor for WooCommerce (Pro) plugin for WordPress up to and including 3.8.0 is vulnerable to unauthorized deletion of arbitrary attachments due to a missing capability/ownership check in the ajax_remove_uploaded() function. The handler is registered for both wp_ajax and wp_ajax_nopriv and gated solely by the 'file_handling_nonce' nonce, which is exposed in the public checkout page markup.
- CVE-2026-119075Critical
The Registration Form for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation due to a missing allow-list check in FormHandler::validate_checkout_fields() in versions up to and including 1.1.4. The checkout registration path stores the raw $_POST['user_roles'] value without validation, and add_user_data() injects it as the new account's role.
- CVE-2026-118066Critical
The LatePoint plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass via account takeover in versions up to and including 5.7.6. OsModel::build_conditions_query() compares WHERE-clause values against literal strings 'IS NULL' and 'IS NOT NULL' and concatenates a match directly into SQL without binding, allowing unauthenticated attackers to send params[password_reset_token]=IS NOT NULL to the public customer_cabinet__change_password AJAX route and overwrite the lowest-id customer's password.
- CVE-2026-104014Critical
The Naimur Email OTP Verification for WooCommerce plugin is vulnerable to authentication bypass in versions up to and including 2.1.0. The password-reset finalization endpoint authorizes the reset solely by the presence of a database row marking an email as 'VERIFIED', with no timestamp check, session binding, or per-reset token, and the scheduled cleanup cron has no handler so it never runs.
- CVE-2026-123961Critical
A vulnerability was detected in TOTOLINK CA300-PoE version 6.2c.884 affecting the setWiFiBasicConfig function in /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi. Manipulation of the KeyStr argument leads to a buffer overflow. The attack can be initiated remotely and a public exploit is available.
- CVE-2026-123960Critical
In TOTOLINK CA300-PoE version 6.2c.884, the setWanConfig function in /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi improperly handles the pppoeUser/priDns/secDns arguments, leading to a buffer overflow. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely, and a public exploit is already available.
- CVE-2026-123959Critical
In TOTOLINK CA300-PoE version 6.2c.884, the setLanguageCfg function in /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi improperly processes the langType argument, resulting in a buffer overflow. The attack can be initiated remotely, and the exploit has been publicly released.
