Apache HertzBeat: incomplete XPath expression validation in aliasFields

Apache HertzBeat versions 1.7.1, 1.7.2, 1.7.3, 1.8.0, and 1.9.0 have incomplete XPath expression validation in the HTTP collector XML parsing path. An authenticated user with permission to create monitor templates can supply XPath expressions through metrics.aliasFields that are evaluated without the validation applied to parseScript. When processing a crafted XML response, repeated evaluation may consume excessive CPU resources and impair collector availability. This is a follow-up to the incomplete fix for CVE-2026-24343. The fix is included in Apache HertzBeat 1.9.1. Users should upgrade to 1.9.1 or a later version.

Fireware OS XPath Injection in SSH Authentication Allows Blind Extraction of Configuration Secrets

An XPath injection vulnerability in WatchGuard Fireware OS's SSH authentication process allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker with access to the management SSH interface to extract sensitive configuration data by submitting a specially crafted request.

OPNsense: XPATH Injection can disclose any secret in config.xml

OPNsense is a FreeBSD based firewall and routing platform. Prior to version 26.1.10, the Trust module stores attacker-controlled certificate authority and certificate refid values and interpolates them into XPath expressions in src/opnsense/mvc/app/models/OPNsense/Trust/FieldTypes/CAsField.php and src/opnsense/mvc/app/models/OPNsense/Trust/FieldTypes/CertificatesField.php. A user with CA Manager or Certificate Manager privileges can submit a crafted refid and repeatedly retrieve the object to obtain a boolean refcount oracle, allowing values in config.xml to be recovered character by character. Exposed values can include password hashes, API credentials, certificate private keys, VPN key material, and high-availability credentials, enabling privilege escalation and compromise of other security domains. This issue is fixed in version 26.1.10.

OPNsense: XPath injection in MVC safe-delete

OPNsense is a FreeBSD based firewall and routing platform. Prior to version 26.1.11, the safe-delete path reached through ApiMutableModelControllerBase::delBase() interpolates an unvalidated safe-delete token from the request URL into an XPath expression over config.xml before confirming that the token is a valid identifier. A user holding any one affected module privilege can send a crafted token to one of 21 affected delete endpoints covering Traffic Shaper, DHCP relay, Dnsmasq, Firewall Category, or Kea DHCP, causing the XPath to match configuration data across modules. The resulting error response exposes configuration item names, descriptions, reference paths, and UUIDs and provides an XPath substring-presence oracle, including for modules the user cannot otherwise access. The request does not modify configuration or perform a deletion. This issue is fixed in version 26.1.11.

Multiple security vulnerabilities are addressed with IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation iFixes for August 2026.

IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation 26.0.0 through 26.0.0 Interim Fix 001, 25.0.0 through 25.0.0 Interim Fix 005, 24.0.1 through 24.0.1 Interim Fix 008, and 24.0.0 through 24.0.0 Interim Fix 009 is vulnerable to an XPath injection vulnerability, which could allow an authenticated attacker to exfiltrate sensitive application data and/or determine the structure of the XML document.

Plesk contains an XPath injection vulnerability in the APS Application Catalog search functionality, where user-supplied input is interpolated into XPath queries without proper sanitization. This allows an authenticated, low-privileged user to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the server, resulting in local privilege escalation.

XML::Sig versions before 0.71 for Perl allow XPath injection in ID lookup

XML::Sig versions before 0.71 for Perl allow XPath injection in ID lookup. verify() and _get_signed_xml() in lib/XML/Sig.pm build XPath expressions by concatenating the SignedInfo/Reference/@URI value read from the document being verified. The value is neither escaped nor checked against the NCName grammar that XML requires of an ID, so a URI containing a single quote closes the string literal in the generated expression and appends arbitrary XPath operators. A crafted URI can make the lookup match elements the reference does not name, or every element in the document, so which node is selected for digest verification is decided by the injected expression rather than by the reference.

BIG-IP Configuration utility vulnerability

A vulnerability exists in the undisclosed pages in the Configuration utility that may allow a low-privileged authenticated attacker to access to undisclosed sensitive information.  Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.

Apache HertzBeat: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption via Crafted XPath Expressions

Improper Neutralization of Data within XPath Expressions ('XPath Injection') vulnerability in Apache HertzBeat. This issue affects Apache HertzBeat: from 1.7.1 before 1.8.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.8.0, which fixes the issue.

Junos OS: J-Web: An unauthenticated, network-based attacker can perform XPATH injection attack against a device.

An Improper Neutralization of Data within XPath Expressions ('XPath Injection') vulnerability in J-Web shipped with Juniper Networks Junos OS allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to execute remote commands on the target device.  While an administrator is logged into a J-Web session or has previously logged in and subsequently logged out of their J-Web session, the attacker can arbitrarily execute commands on the target device with the other user's credentials. In the worst case, the attacker will have full control over the device. This issue affects Junos OS:  * All versions before 21.2R3-S8,  * from 21.4 before 21.4R3-S7, * from 22.2 before 22.2R3-S4, * from 22.3 before 22.3R3-S3, * from 22.4 before 22.4R3-S2, * from 23.2 before 23.2R2, * from 23.4 before 23.4R1-S1, 23.4R2.

XPath Injection in Hugging Face Smolagents search_item_ctrl_f Function

Hugging Face Smolagents version 1.20.0 contains an XPath injection vulnerability in the search_item_ctrl_f function located in src/smolagents/vision_web_browser.py. The function constructs an XPath query by directly concatenating user-supplied input into the XPath expression without proper sanitization or escaping. This allows an attacker to inject malicious XPath syntax that can alter the intended query logic. The vulnerability enables attackers to bypass search filters, access unintended DOM elements, and disrupt web automation workflows. This can lead to information disclosure, manipulation of AI agent interactions, and compromise the reliability of automated web tasks. The issue is fixed in version 1.22.0.

Cisco Secure Firepower Management Center Software XPATH Injection Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC) Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to retrieve sensitive information from an affected device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted request to the web-based management interface of an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to retrieve sensitive information from the affected device. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid administrative credentials.

IBM Aspera Console XPath injection

IBM Aspera Console 3.4.0 through 3.4.4 is vulnerable to an XPath injection vulnerability, which could allow an authenticated attacker to exfiltrate sensitive application data and/or determine the structure of the XML document.

netcf: augeas path expression injection via interface name

The find_ifcfg_path function in netcf before 0.2.7 might allow attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via vectors involving augeas path expressions.

B. Braun SpaceCom, Battery Pack SP with Wi-Fi, and Data module compactplus

A XPath injection vulnerability in the B. Braun Melsungen AG SpaceCom Version L81/U61 and earlier, and the Data module compactplus Versions A10 and A11 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to access sensitive information and escalate privileges.
