CVE-2026-84115 Sep 01, 15:17 MEDIUM This Month

Improper privilege management in Cleo Harmony's JWT Refresh Token Handler allows remote unauthenticated attackers to manipulate the Bearer argument on the /api/connections API endpoint, resulting in unauthorized access to connection data and potential privilege escalation. Affected versions span all releases up to and including 5.8.1.10, with a public exploit already available (E:P per CVSS 4.0 supplemental). No active exploitation confirmed in CISA KEV, but the combination of network accessibility, zero-privilege requirement, and public proof-of-concept materially elevates real-world risk.

CVE-2026-81297 Aug 31, 20:30 HIGH This Week

Subscriber-level privilege escalation in Fluent Forms Pro Add On Pack (versions <= 6.2.12) allows authenticated users with minimal access to gain significantly elevated permissions within a WordPress installation. Reported by Patchstack against the wp_manage_ninja plugin, the flaw stems from incorrect privilege assignment (CWE-266), meaning subscriber-role accounts can trigger functionality reserved for higher-privileged roles such as administrators. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, though the network-accessible attack vector and high CVSS impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability make this a meaningful risk for any WordPress site accepting subscriber registrations.

CVE-2026-82817 Aug 31, 18:17 LOW Monitor

Improper access control in dibo-software diboot 3.8.0 allows authenticated remote attackers to bypass tenant isolation by manipulating the tenantId parameter in the Tenant Administrator Management API at /admin/. An attacker with low-privileged access to one tenant can read and modify data belonging to other tenants, breaking the multi-tenant security boundary. A public proof-of-concept exploit exists, and the vendor has not responded to disclosure, leaving users without an official patch.

CVE-2026-82807 Aug 31, 16:19 HIGH This Week

Local privilege escalation in ieungSoft Ultra RAMDisk Pro 1.82 allows a low-privileged local user to gain SYSTEM or kernel-level control via improper privilege management in the URDSCSI.sys kernel driver (CWE-266). The vendor did not respond to coordinated disclosure, leaving no official patch; a public proof-of-concept exploit exists, confirmed by the CVSS 4.0 E:P metric and a detailed write-up. No active exploitation has been confirmed in CISA KEV, but the low exploitation barrier (low-privilege local access, no interaction, public PoC) makes this a credible post-compromise escalation tool.

CVE-2026-82594 Aug 31, 00:16 LOW Monitor

Improper authorization in LogNet's grpc-spring-boot-starter affects annotation processing logic in versions up to 5.2.0, allowing authenticated remote attackers with low privileges to bypass access controls under high-complexity conditions. The vulnerability stems from CWE-266 (Incorrect Privilege Assignment) in the component responsible for processing security annotations on gRPC service endpoints. A proof-of-concept exploit has been publicly disclosed; no vendor patch is available as the project has not yet responded to the responsible disclosure report.

Privilege escalation in FluentCRM Pro (WordPress plugin, versions <= 3.1.12) allows authenticated users holding the Editor role to elevate their access level, yielding full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact against the WordPress installation. Reported by Patchstack and scored CVSS 7.2 with PR:H, the flaw is rooted in CWE-266 (Incorrect Privilege Assignment), meaning the plugin fails to correctly enforce role boundaries for Editors interacting with CRM functionality. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing have been identified at time of analysis.

Unauthenticated privilege escalation in the ACPT (Pro) - Custom Post Types plugin for WordPress affects all versions up to and including 2.0.63, allowing remote attackers with no credentials to improperly gain elevated privileges (CWE-266). Rated CVSS 9.8, the flaw grants full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, effectively enabling site takeover. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but the unauthenticated network vector makes it a high-priority patching target.

Unauthenticated privilege escalation in the TranslatePress multilingual plugin for WordPress (all versions up to and including 3.3.2) allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges within the site, per a Patchstack advisory. The flaw is classified as incorrect privilege assignment (CWE-266) and carries a CVSS 9.8, implying an attacker can escalate to a high-impact role without authentication or user interaction. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.

Subscriber-level privilege escalation in the Booking Hub WordPress plugin (versions ≤ 1.3.0) allows authenticated users with only subscriber-level access to elevate their privileges to administrator-equivalent roles. The CVSS 8.8 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) confirms network-accessible exploitation with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact once a low-privilege account is obtained. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity makes this a realistic priority for any WordPress site running the affected plugin with user registration enabled.
