CISA Malcolm

CISA published advisories for six vulnerabilities affecting Malcolm, a network traffic analysis tool used by critical infrastructure sectors worldwide. The flaws range from denial-of-service conditions caused by unbounded resource allocation to arbitrary code execution via unrestricted file uploads and authorization bypasses. Affected versions prior to 26.06.1, 26.07.0, and 26.08.0 require patching.

Why it matters: Organizations deploying Malcolm for network monitoring must update immediately: authenticated users can execute arbitrary code, bypass access controls, or crash the service, impacting visibility across monitored infrastructure.
