CVE-2026-35671 HIGH PATCH GHSA This Week

Privilege escalation in phpMyFAQ before 4.1.3 allows any authenticated low-privilege administrator to take over SuperAdmin (userId=1) or any other account by manipulating the userId parameter in the /admin/api/user/overwrite-password PUT request. The flaw is an insecure direct object reference (IDOR) in the Admin API where authorization checks confirm only that the caller holds the generic USER_EDIT permission, never that the caller is authorized to manage the targeted account. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the GHSA advisory from the vendor (thorsten) publicly documents the exact vulnerable code path, making weaponization trivial.

CVE-2026-9795 HIGH This Week

Privilege escalation in Keycloak's Fine-Grained Admin Permissions v2 (FGAPv2) allows an administrator with only limited client-management rights to attach arbitrary realm roles - including highly privileged ones - to a client's scope mappings, causing those roles to be injected into user authentication tokens that traverse the modified client. The flaw affects the Red Hat Build of Keycloak per the vendor advisory and has no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the high-privilege admin pivot makes it operationally significant in multi-tenant identity deployments.

CVE-2026-42758 CRITICAL Act Now

Privilege escalation in the WebinarIgnition WordPress plugin (Saleswonder Team: Tobias) affects all versions through 4.08.252 and allows remote attackers to obtain elevated privileges due to incorrect privilege assignment. The CVSS 9.8 rating reflects network-reachable, unauthenticated exploitation with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the EPSS score is very low (0.04%, 13th percentile), indicating no observed exploitation activity despite the critical severity.

CVE-2026-42731 CRITICAL Act Now

Privilege escalation in the miniOrange OTP Verification WordPress plugin (all versions up to and including 5.4.9) lets remote unauthenticated attackers gain elevated privileges due to incorrect privilege assignment (CWE-266). With a CVSS 9.8 vector indicating network reach, no authentication, and no user interaction, a successful attack can fully compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected WordPress site. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.

CVE-2026-9581 LOW Monitor

Improper access control in JeecgBoot versions up to 3.9.1 allows low-privileged authenticated remote users to interact with the /sys/comment/add endpoint beyond their assigned permission level, resulting in low-impact confidentiality, integrity, and availability effects. The CVSS 4.0 score of 2.1 reflects a narrow blast radius with no subsequent system compromise, but a publicly available proof-of-concept (E:P) elevates the likelihood of opportunistic exploitation on internet-facing deployments. No active exploitation has been confirmed by CISA KEV at time of analysis.

Incorrect Privilege Assignment in Dell PowerFlex Manager version 4.6.2 and earlier (both Appliance and Rack form factors) allows a low-privileged local attacker to escalate their privileges, impacting confidentiality, integrity, and availability at a low level each (CVSS 5.3 Medium, CWE-266). Dell has published dual advisories (DSA-2025-434 and DSA-2025-435) addressing the Appliance and Rack variants respectively. No public exploit code and no active exploitation have been identified at time of analysis.

CVE-2026-48172 CRITICAL POC KEV PATCH THREAT NEWS Act Now

LiteSpeed User-End cPanel Plugin before 2.4.5 allows privilege escalation (possibly to root), as exploited in the wild in May 2026. LiteSpeed WHM Plugin (the parent plugin) is unaffected. Detection is best done via a command line of grep -rE "cpanel_jsonapi_func=redisAble" /var/cpanel/logs /usr/local/cpanel/logs/ 2>/dev/null in Bash. If you get no output, you have not been hit with exploitation of the vulnerability. If there is output, we recommend you examine the IP addresses in the list, determine if they are valid IP addresses, and if not, block them. To determine damage done, examine the system logs for use by the detected IP addresses. The issue is related to mishandling of Redis enable/disable features.

Memory dump attacks against Comarch ERP Optima client expose hardcoded high-privilege database credentials, allowing local attackers with process control to bypass application-level access controls and gain direct database access with elevated privileges. Exploitation requires a configured client installation but no user login, creating persistent risk on shared workstations. CERT-PL publicly disclosed this credential management flaw (CWE-266) with patch available in version 2026.4, though no active exploitation or public POC has been confirmed.
