Privilege escalation in grav-plugin-api before 1.0.20 allows a low-privileged API manager to self-create a super-admin account by exploiting a logic gap in the InvitationsController's stripSuperFlags() method, which strips nested super flags but ignores dot-keyed equivalents such as 'api.super'. The attacker crafts an invitation payload containing the dot-keyed flag, which persists through sanitization into the new account, then self-accepts the invitation via the public acceptance endpoint - no real invitee participation required - and immediately receives a valid JWT granting full Grav site control. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing is present at time of analysis, but the attack is fully self-contained and conceptually trivial for any account already holding api.users.write permissions.
Privilege escalation in the Abandoned Cart Pro for WooCommerce WordPress plugin (all versions through 10.7.1) allows authenticated subscribers to gain full WordPress administrative access by hijacking the plugin's SMTP email routing. Missing capability checks and nonce verification on at least four AJAX endpoints - including wcap_save_connector_settings - permit any subscriber-level user to silently redirect outbound SMTP traffic through an attacker-controlled mail server. Once SMTP is redirected, the attacker intercepts auto-login recovery links sent to administrators and authenticates as admin without any further credentials. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but the attack exploits a default-enabled feature, significantly lowering the bar for abuse on any standard installation.
Improper privilege management in StackStorm st2's API Key Handler allows authenticated remote attackers to manipulate the `api_key_api.user` argument in `st2api/st2api/controllers/v1/auth.py`, enabling unauthorized privilege escalation within the automation platform. All versions through 3.9.0 are affected per the CPE data, and a publicly available proof-of-concept exploit exists (GitHub issue #6380). No vendor patch has been released; the StackStorm project has not responded to the responsible disclosure report.
Improper privilege management in StackStorm st2 up to 3.9.0 allows authenticated low-privilege users to bypass user-scoping restrictions on the action executions API by manipulating the `user` query parameter. The root cause is that `assert_user_is_admin_if_user_query_param_is_provided` in `st2api/st2api/controllers/v1/actionexecutions.py` performs no enforcement when the default NoOp RBAC backend is active - meaning every default StackStorm installation without explicit RBAC configuration is vulnerable. A public proof-of-concept exists via GitHub issue #6379, and the vendor has not yet responded to the disclosure; no patch is available at time of analysis.
Unauthenticated account takeover in the ACPT (Premium) WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 2.0.66) lets remote attackers hijack any account, including administrators. The plugin's submit() handler processes anonymous form submissions without verifying that the submitter is authorized to modify the targeted user, then passes an attacker-controlled user ID to wp_update_user(), allowing the attacker to overwrite that user's email address and password. Reported by Wordfence; no public exploit and no CISA KEV listing at time of analysis, but the CVSS 9.8 rating reflects a trivially weaponizable full-compromise path where a vulnerable form is exposed.
Privilege escalation in MBS-solutions X-Serie Gateway firmware V6_00_05 allows a remote attacker to gain elevated privileges by abusing two CGI endpoints, /cgi-bin/wwwugw.cgi and /cgi-bin/ugwdownload.cgi. Per the CVSS vector the attack requires no authentication (PR:N) and yields high confidentiality and integrity impact, effectively granting an attacker administrative control over the gateway's configuration and data. A public write-up and proof-of-concept exist in a GitHub research repository, though there is no evidence of active exploitation.
Full account takeover in WWBN AVideo arises because the video_id_hash acts as a non-expiring, non-revocable bearer token that authenticates the holder as the video owner with complete administrator privileges. Any attacker who obtains a valid video_id_hash can replay it indefinitely to gain full admin session access, and the credential keeps working even after the victim rotates their password - eliminating the primary recovery mechanism. Reported by VulnCheck with a fix in the vendor GitHub Security Advisory; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and no EPSS or KEV data was provided.
Privilege escalation in Craft CMS before 5.10.11 lets remote attackers gain administrator rights by registering a new account using the email address of a previously deactivated admin, because the admin flag is not validated and persists across registration. Exploitation requires public user registration to be enabled and email verification to be disabled. Reported by VulnCheck with a vendor security advisory (GHSA-242m-9wq7-vhwq); no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation in the Theme My Login WordPress plugin (versions before 7.2.0) allows low-privileged users to silently bypass the network's site-creation restrictions on multisite WordPress installations, gaining administrator-level control over a newly created site. Subscriber-level authenticated users - and on some networks, unauthenticated users - can invoke the site-signup flow to create sites even when the network's registration setting prohibits it. A publicly available proof-of-concept exploit exists, raising the urgency for patching. The vendor has released a fix in version 7.2.0.
Privilege escalation to administrator in the Advanced Custom Fields: Extended WordPress plugin before 0.9.2.7 allows unauthenticated visitors to bypass role restrictions enforced on front-end user registration forms. The plugin fails to validate that a submitted role value matches those actually offered by the configured form, and its blocklist against privileged roles is incomplete, enabling a two-stage attack: register with an elevated role, then escalate that account to full site administrator. A publicly available exploit exists per WPScan disclosure, raising the urgency of patching; no public KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.
