- CVEs Published In May 2017
In WordPress before 4.7.5, a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists when attempting to upload very large files, because the error message does not properly restrict presentation of the filename.
In WordPress before 4.7.5, there is improper handling of post meta data values in the XML-RPC API.
In WordPress before 4.7.5, a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability related to the Customizer exists, involving an invalid customization session.

Ipswitch MOVEit Transfer (formerly DMZ) allows pre-authentication blind SQL injection. The fixed versions are MOVEit Transfer 2017 9.0.0.201, MOVEit DMZ 8.3.0.30, and MOVEit DMZ 8.2.0.20.
A vulnerability in MikroTik Version 6.38.5 could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to exhaust all available CPU via a flood of UDP packets on port 500 (used for L2TP over IPsec), preventing the affected router from accepting new connections; all devices will be disconnected from the router and all logs removed automatically.
Facebook WhatsApp Messenger before 2.16.323 for Android uses the SD card for cleartext storage of files (Audio, Documents, Images, Video, and Voice Notes) associated with a chat, even after that chat is deleted. There may be users who expect file deletion to occur upon chat deletion, or who expect encryption (consistent with the application's use of an encrypted database to store chat text). NOTE: the vendor reportedly indicates that they do not "consider these to be security issues" because a user may legitimately want to preserve any file for use "in other apps like the Google Photos gallery" regardless of whether its associated chat is deleted
The Google I/O 2017 application before 5.1.4 for Android downloads multiple .json files from http://storage.googleapis.com without SSL, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof Feed and Schedule data by creating a modified blocks_v4.json file.
