Critical OS Command Injection Flaw in Arista VeloCloud Orchestrator Exploited in the Wild
Arista Networks has published a security advisory detailing a severe vulnerability in the on-premises edition of its Arista VeloCloud Orchestrator (VCO), a product designed for unified management of SD-WAN environments.
The flaw, identified as CVE-2026-16812, is an OS command injection vulnerability that can be exploited remotely over the network by accessing the web interface. No credentials for tenants or operators are required, enabling unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands.
According to the advisory released on July 27, exploitation of the vulnerability has already been observed in the wild. If successfully leveraged, the issue can compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the VeloCloud Orchestrator itself as well as any data it manages.
Furthermore, a breach of the orchestrator may allow attackers to gain access to associated VeloCloud Edge devices deployed throughout the customer environment.
The vulnerability received the highest possible base score of 10.0 under both CVSSv4.0 and CVSSv3.1, placing it in the Critical severity category.

CISA Adds Exploited Flaws in FortiOS and VeloCloud Orchestrator to Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog
The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has added two actively exploited vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. CVE-2026-16812 affects the on-premises version of Arista VeloCloud Orchestrator and allows OS command injection that can lead to data leakage, tampering, and denial of service. The flaw carries a maximum CVSS v3.1 base score of 10.0 and is rated Critical. CVE-2025-68686 impacts Fortinet FortiOS and can be used to bypass specific patches and steal sensitive information when combined with another vulnerability that grants prior filesystem access. Federal agencies must remediate the VeloCloud issue by July 30 and the FortiOS issue by August 10.
Critical Vulnerabilities in JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA and TeamCity Enable Remote Code Execution
JetBrains has addressed multiple critical vulnerabilities in its IntelliJ IDEA and TeamCity products that could allow remote code execution, unauthorized file access, and sandbox escapes. The flaws affect remote development environments and require immediate patching, especially in shared setups. In IntelliJ IDEA, CVE-2026-59792 involves directory traversal during workspace identifier processing and carries a CVSS score of up to 9.8. TeamCity received fixes for several issues, including malicious Git repository configurations that enable code execution and a Kotlin DSL sandbox escape. Additional patches cover arbitrary file access through Perforce integration and a persistent cross-site scripting flaw on cloud profile pages. Administrators are urged to update IntelliJ IDEA to versions 2026.1.4 or 2026.2 and TeamCity to 2026.1.2 or 2025.11.6 depending on the release line in use.
Critical Vulnerabilities Patched in OpenAM with Release of Version 16.1.2
Multiple serious vulnerabilities have been disclosed in OpenAM, including remote code execution flaws that require no authentication. The Open Identity Platform development team released OpenAM 16.1.2 on July 20, 2026, addressing a total of 18 issues that encompass both native vulnerabilities and those in third-party dependencies. CVE-2026-62379 allows arbitrary Java classes specified in XML to be loaded and instantiated without validation, enabling unauthenticated remote code execution. CVE-2026-62263 stems from improper deserialization filtering in Java, similarly permitting unauthenticated code execution. The update also resolves an XSS vulnerability (CVE-2026-62280) on the authorization consent page and fixes issues in components such as Node.js, js-yaml, and websocket-driver. CVSS scores rate the two primary flaws as critical at 9.8 and 9.2 respectively.
