  - Cockpit CMS 2.12.0 before 2.14.1 disables TLS certificate verification in the cron.php web worker restart
    request, allowing network attackers to capture the worker token. Man-in-the-middle attackers on the
    outbound path to site_url can present any certificate to steal the worker/web/token value and start the
    web worker. (CVE-2026-105217)
