CVE-2026-74925 Sep 11, 06:00 HIGH POC PATCH This Week

Privilege escalation in MultiVendorX WordPress plugin before 5.0.16 allows authenticated vendor-role users to grant administrator-level WordPress capabilities to the vendor role, enabling full site takeover. The plugin's role and capability settings update mechanism fails to enforce access boundaries, letting any vendor - a legitimately registered but low-privileged marketplace seller - rewrite role permissions without restriction. A publicly available exploit exists via WPScan, and the vendor has released a patch in version 5.0.16.

Container escape in IBM Aspera Enterprise WebApps 1.0.0-1.0.5 allows a local attacker with low privileges inside the container to break out to the underlying host due to unrestricted system call access. The CVSS vector (S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) reflects full host compromise as the post-escape impact, not merely container-level damage. No public exploit code or active exploitation (CISA KEV) has been identified at time of analysis; IBM has released a patch.

Denial of service in IBM Db2 11.5.0-11.5.9 and 12.1.0-12.1.5 allows a low-privileged authenticated network user to disable specific server functionality under certain conditions, producing both availability and integrity impact. The root cause is CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management): the server fails to enforce correct privilege boundaries around a particular Db2 operation, allowing a user whose authorization should not extend to that action to invoke it. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis; IBM has released a patch and the vendor advisory is the sole remediation reference.

CVE-2026-88891 Sep 10, 13:05 HIGH This Week

OpenPanel's server-side mutation resolvers fail to enforce project access levels, allowing read-only project members to execute 26 of 29 write operations that should be restricted to higher-privileged roles. Affected actions include deleting reports and dashboards, scheduling entire projects for deletion, publishing private analytics to public share links, and modifying alerting rules - all achievable by any user with the lowest valid project membership tier. No public exploit or active exploitation (CISA KEV) has been identified at time of analysis; organizations should consult GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-f9rx-pxgw-c6rg for patch details.

CVE-2026-88863 Sep 10, 13:05 HIGH This Week

Privilege escalation in capgo.app (npm package `capgo` ≤ 12.207.1) allows an authenticated org_member to promote an external account to org_admin or org_billing_admin by exploiting a missing role-rank comparison in the `validateInvite()` function of the invite-new-user Edge Function. The invitation-acceptance path compounds the issue by using the Supabase service-role key, which bypasses two dedicated database triggers designed to enforce privilege boundaries, resulting in full administrative control over the organization's apps, channels, members, and billing. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis; an upstream fix is available via PR #3096.

CVE-2026-84042 Sep 10, 08:24 HIGH This Week

Container escape in crun >= 1.29, when built with libkrun and started rootful with passt networking (krun.use_passt), allows an attacker who controls the container image to execute arbitrary code with host root privileges. This is a regression introduced in crun 1.29, meaning environments that recently upgraded are at risk while those on earlier versions are not. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but successful exploitation yields full host compromise via container escape.

Privilege escalation in the Registration Form for WooCommerce WordPress plugin (versions before 1.1.3) allows any authenticated Contributor-level user to register new WordPress accounts with arbitrary roles, including Administrator. The plugin fails to verify that the form ID supplied during registration belongs to a legitimate registration form, instead blindly reading the permitted-role allow-list from any post the attacker controls. Exploitation results in full site takeover. A publicly available proof-of-concept exists. This vulnerability is an incomplete fix of a prior privilege escalation issue tracked as CVE-2026-54807.

CVE-2026-87998 Sep 09, 22:18 HIGH POC PATCH GHSA This Week

Improper privilege management in Open WebUI 0.10.0 through 0.11.0 allows any authenticated low-privilege user with write access to a knowledge base to delete administrator-owned external connection configurations shared across the entire instance. The DELETE /api/v1/knowledge/{id}/delete endpoint in knowledge.py correctly validated the user's write access to their own knowledge base but then cascaded the delete to the underlying shared external connection without verifying admin role or checking whether other knowledge bases depended on that connection. This means a single non-admin user can render all other knowledge bases on the instance that share the same external vector store connection permanently unavailable. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis; vendor-released patch is available in version 0.11.1.

Privilege escalation in Snipe-IT before 8.7.0 allows any authenticated user to bypass authorization controls by replaying signed Livewire component snapshots directly against the /livewire/update endpoint. Because authorization is enforced only at the HTTP route layer and not within Livewire component lifecycle methods, a low-privilege session holder can invoke protected admin operations including creating OAuth clients, minting personal access tokens, and reading sensitive administrative data. No active exploitation has been confirmed (no CISA KEV listing), but the vendor-confirmed fix is available in version 8.7.0.

Local privilege escalation in ESET AV Remover (standalone) enables a low-privileged local user to attain SYSTEM-level control by sending specially crafted RPC messages to the tool's privileged service component. The root cause is CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management): the RPC handler fails to enforce access controls commensurate with the operations it exposes, allowing an unprivileged caller to invoke functionality that executes at a higher privilege level. No active exploitation has been confirmed (not in CISA KEV), and no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.
