1Security advisories
GitHub fixes secret-scanning flaw that can reach code execution on GHES
Exploiting the high-severity bug needs only push access to a repository with Advanced Security on, and a second, medium flaw lets a collaborator swap a repository's default branch.
2Security advisories
Docker Engine 29.8.2 fixes DNS trick that disables TLS checks
The flaw sits in how the daemon decides a registry is insecure, so removing entries from insecure-registries does not help. Docker names three workarounds for teams that cannot upgrade yet.
3Security advisories
Splunk Enterprise fixes a critical Patroni flaw and 20 other bugs
Four Splunk Secure Gateway fixes ship as an app update as well, and one medium flaw needs a limits.conf change after the upgrade, not just new binaries.
4Security advisories
CISA lists old Strapi, ONLYOFFICE and Struts flaws as exploited
All five flaws were fixed between 2015 and 2023, and the newest is a Strapi admin-panel leak fixed in 4.8.0. Federal agencies have until 11 October to deal with them.
5Security advisories
IBM lists five WebSphere Liberty flaws fixed in 26.0.0.10
The medium-severity bulletin covers every Liberty release from 17.0.0.3 to 26.0.0.9, offers no workaround, and gives October as the expected fix pack date.
6Security advisories
Broadcom fixes 61 Brocade Fabric OS, SANnav and ASCG flaws
Thirty-seven of the 61 are rated high. ASCG carries two unauthenticated flaws reachable from the adjacent network, and Fabric OS 10.0.1 closes both a command injection and a buffer overflow.

Four Vault flaws were fixed in total, two rated high. Enterprise customers on older lines get patches in 1.21.12, 1.20.17 and 1.19.23, and a policy rewrite is needed first.
