CVE-2026-71314: Nuxt: Unauthenticated out-of-memory crash via unbounded v-for expansion in island rendering

GitHub Advisory Database | August 6, 2026 | HIGH | CVSS 7.5 | GitHub Advisory Database nuxt

### Impact An unauthenticated attacker can crash a Nuxt server that renders any island / server component containing a `v-for` over a prop (for example `v-for="n in count"` or a “). Because the island URL hash is a non-secret digest of the request, the attacker can compute a valid hash for arbitrary props and send the iterated prop…

Why it matters: GitHub Advisory Database nuxt participates in the path from source code to production. A weakness can inherit runner permissions, build secrets, trusted artifacts, or deployment access.

What to verify: Trace untrusted input through pull requests and jobs, review token scope, isolate runners, pin trusted dependencies, and rebuild affected artifacts after remediation.

Operational focus: Identify whether untrusted repository content can reach privileged runners, tokens, or deployment tools.

CVE-2026-71311: rclone: FTP Command Arguments Permit CRLF Injection When Custom Encoding Preserves Newlines

GitHub Advisory Database | August 6, 2026 | MEDIUM | CVSS 6.4 | GitHub Advisory Database github.com/rclone/rclone

## 1. Summary A valid but nondefault FTP filename encoding can restore raw CR/LF immediately before an attacker-controlled path is interpolated into the line-oriented FTP control channel. The dependency does not reject CR or LF in command arguments, so a filename can inject an independent authenticated command. A real test server observed the injected `DELE` command. The default…

rclone: Path traversal in serve s3 allows reading and overwriting root-level files

GitHub Advisory Database | August 6, 2026 | MEDIUM | CVSS 6.5 | GitHub Advisory Database github.com/rclone/rclone

### Summary rclone serve s3 allows a client to read and write files at the root of the remote which would normally be inaccessible by using dot-dot path segments in the object key. It does not allow reading files outside of the root. A request such as GET /bucket/../root-secret.txt is handled as an object request for bucket "bucket",…
