F5 and Juniper Networks have rolled out patches for dozens of vulnerabilities across their products, including critical-severity remote code execution (RCE) flaws.

Security and application delivery firm F5 announced fixes for 11 security defects in NGINX. Among them, CVE-2026-15176 and CVE-2026-93479 are critical-severity bugs that could be exploited without authentication via crafted HTTP requests.

Under certain conditions beyond their control, an unauthenticated attacker could exploit the security holes to trigger a buffer overflow leading to a restart. If ASLR is disabled or can be bypassed, the attacker could achieve RCE.

Another critical issue, CVE-2026-97205, could cause memory corruption or the worker process to terminate, or could lead to RCE if ASLR is disabled.

The remaining vulnerabilities could allow attackers to bypass verification/validation, read sensitive information, spoof request attributes, inject data in proxied requests, cause unbounded memory growth, or access protected paths before authentication.

This week, Juniper Networks published 17 advisories detailing over 150 security defects in Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved, and four bugs in Juniper Cloud-Native Router (JCNR).
