CERT Polska coordinated disclosure of CVE-2026-8990, a vulnerability affecting the Kidsview mobile application. The flaw allows an attacker with physical access to a victim's smartphone to bypass the app's authentication mechanism by interacting with a push notification, granting themselves full access to the device owner's account.
The vulnerability requires local physical access rather than remote exploitation, limiting its scale but still posing a risk to users in scenarios such as device theft, loss, or shared access. The issue has been fixed in Kidsview version 4.4.3, and users are advised to update. The report was credited to researcher Jakub Lewandowski through CERT Polska's coordinated vulnerability disclosure process.

This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries live profiles of the CVEs it names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 16,570 reports from 147 sources, 725 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them, not the rest of the week's. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
