Winsiderss System Informer versions through 4.0.26241.138 contain an incorrect authorization flaw that lets local attackers execute code as SYSTEM from any signed process. Vulncheck rates the issue 7.8 and 8.5.
Incorrect authorization checks let any Authenticode-signed process connect to the SiSvcApiPort ALPC port.
Once connected, the attacker can invoke PhSvcApiCreateService to create and start a service that runs as SYSTEM.

A newly published CVE (CVE-2026-116199, assigned by VulnCheck on Oct 25) covers a flaw in Snipe-IT's Google SSO login. Versions before 8.6.3 didn't check whether an account was deactivated, so a former user whose Google account was still active could sign back in with their old permissions, including admin. It only applies when Google SSO is on and usernames are email addresses, and Snipe-IT says default installs aren't affected. The fix shipped in v8.6.3 on June 15, and the latest release is v8.8.3. VulnCheck scores it 9.2 Critical (CVSS 4.0) and 8.1 High (CVSS 3.1), while Snipe-IT's advisory rates it Moderate. It isn't in CISA's KEV catalog, and no public exploit or attacks have been reported.
