CERT Polska, working with researcher Blazej Adamczyk (br0x) of Efigo, coordinated disclosure of five vulnerabilities affecting Sparx Systems' Pro Cloud Server (version 6.1 build 167 and below) and Enterprise Architect (version 17.1 and below). The issues range from broken access control allowing low-privileged users to run arbitrary SQL queries, to an authentication bypass that permits unauthenticated SQL execution by omitting the 'model' query parameter and embedding it in a binary POST blob instead.
The most severe issue, CVE-2026-42099, is a race condition in the /data_api/dl_internal_artifact.php endpoint that lets an attacker with repository access plant a malicious PHP file and execute it before it is deleted, resulting in remote code execution. A separate flaw (CVE-2026-42098) allows an authenticated user to manipulate the Enterprise Architect client (e.g., via a debugger) to impersonate any user, including administrators, and make arbitrary repository changes. A fifth vulnerability (CVE-2026-42100) enables denial of service by crashing the Pro Cloud Server via a malformed SQL query.
The vendor was notified early but did not respond with vulnerability details or confirm the affected version range beyond what researchers tested, so other versions may also be vulnerable. No public exploitation has been reported; this is a coordinated disclosure advisory rather than an active-exploitation alert.

What this brief leaves out
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 16,433 reports from 149 sources, 661 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.
