CVE-2025-15561 1 Nestersoft 1 Worktime 2026-02-26 7.8 High
An attacker can exploit the update behavior of the WorkTime monitoring daemon to elevate privileges on the local system to NT Authority\SYSTEM. A malicious executable must be namedĀ  WTWatch.exe and dropped in the C:\ProgramData\wta\ClientExe directory, which is writable by "Everyone". The executable will then be run by the WorkTime monitoring daemon.
CVE-2023-46813 2 Linux, Redhat 4 Linux Kernel, Enterprise Linux, Rhel Eus and 1 more 2026-02-25 7.0 High
An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.5.9, exploitable by local users with userspace access to MMIO registers. Incorrect access checking in the #VC handler and instruction emulation of the SEV-ES emulation of MMIO accesses could lead to arbitrary write access to kernel memory (and thus privilege escalation). This depends on a race condition through which userspace can replace an instruction before the #VC handler reads it.
CVE-2023-20235 1 Cisco 20 Catalyst Ie3200 Rugged Switch, Catalyst Ie3300 Rugged Switch, Catalyst Ie3400 Rugged Switch and 17 more 2026-02-25 6.5 Medium
A vulnerability in the on-device application development workflow feature for the Cisco IOx application hosting infrastructure in Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to access the underlying operating system as the root user.
