CVE-2026-8980 CRITICAL Act Now

Privilege escalation in Mennekes Amtron EV charging stations (firmware ≤ 5.22.3) allows a low-privileged authenticated user to overwrite credentials for the admin (operator) and manufacturer accounts through crafted POST requests, effectively granting full takeover of the charger's management interface. Publicly available exploit code exists per the CyberDanube research advisory, and the CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.3 reflects high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability with cascading effects on subsequent systems. Not currently listed in CISA KEV.

CVE-2026-6226 HIGH This Week

Unauthenticated privilege escalation in the Frontend Admin by DynamiApps WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 3.29.2) allows remote attackers to create administrator accounts by submitting a crafted form payload. The flaw stems from the plugin trusting an attacker-supplied form definition passed via $_POST['_acf_form'] as an array, which bypasses the legitimate server-side form lookup and allows the role field's allowed values to be spoofed. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the vulnerability is reported by Wordfence and is straightforwardly weaponizable given the documented logic flaw.

CVE-2026-48926 MEDIUM This Month

Jenkins Job Import Plugin version 143.v044a_2e819b_27 and earlier exposes credentials ID enumeration to any authenticated user holding the minimal Overall/Read permission due to a missing permission check on an HTTP endpoint. Any low-privileged Jenkins user can query this endpoint and retrieve the IDs of all credentials stored in the Jenkins credentials store, enabling reconnaissance for follow-on credential-targeting attacks. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, CISA has not listed this in KEV, and SSVC rates exploitation status as none with partial technical impact.

CVE-2026-48923 MEDIUM This Month

Missing permission check in Jenkins AppSpider Plugin 1.0.17 and earlier allows any authenticated user with Overall/Read permission to force the Jenkins server to initiate connections to arbitrary attacker-specified URLs via a form validation endpoint. This constitutes a server-side request forgery (SSRF)-class primitive - an attacker can leverage this to probe internal network services, perform port scanning, or interact with internal infrastructure reachable by the Jenkins host. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and CISA SSVC assessment confirms no active exploitation.

CVE-2026-8787 HIGH This Week

Privilege escalation in the Firebase Support & Chat Management WordPress plugin (all versions up to and including 3.1.1) lets any authenticated Subscriber-level user take over any other account, including Administrator. The plugin's acb_firebase_auth AJAX handler logs the request in as whatever WordPress account matches the attacker-supplied user_email parameter, never verifying the accompanying Firebase ID token. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis and the EPSS probability is very low (0.04%, 13th percentile), but the bug is trivially exploitable wherever the plugin is active and a low-privilege account can be obtained.

CVE-2026-33552 LOW Monitor

Incorrect access control in Northern.tech Mender Enterprise Server before 4.1.1 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to gain limited confidential data exposure under high-complexity conditions. Classified under CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management) and tagged as a Privilege Escalation vector, the flaw introduces an unauthorized access path to restricted resources, though impact is constrained to low confidentiality loss with no integrity or availability consequence. No public exploit code exists and no active exploitation has been confirmed; EPSS of 0.02% (5th percentile) reflects a minimal probability of imminent widespread exploitation.

CVE-2025-43306 HIGH PATCH This Week

Local privilege escalation in Apple macOS allows a malicious app already running with low privileges to elevate to root by exploiting a logic flaw (improper privilege management) that was resolved with additional validation checks. The flaw affects macOS Sonoma before 14.8, macOS Sequoia before 15.7, and macOS Tahoe before 26, and was reported by Apple itself. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no EPSS or KEV signal was provided, indicating no confirmed active exploitation.

CVE-2026-9490 MEDIUM This Month

A security vulnerability has been identified in Acer Care Center where the ACCSvc service creates a Named Pipe with a weak Security Descriptor. This vulnerability allows an authenticated local user to connect and send a specially crafted message (message type 0x03) to the pipe, causing the service to crash with exit code 1067 (ERROR_PROCESS_ABORTED). To mitigate this potential local service disruption, Acer requires users to update the software to the latest version.

Privilege escalation in the WishList Member WordPress plugin (versions through 3.30.1) allows authenticated subscriber-level attackers to extract the plugin's plaintext REST API Secret Key and use it to create administrator accounts, resulting in full site takeover. The flaw is reachable via a single AJAX call (ajax_get_screen) that lacks capability and nonce checks. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the attack path is fully described in the Wordfence advisory and requires only low-privileged authenticated access.

Privilege escalation in the Wishlist Member WordPress plugin (versions through 3.30.1) allows any authenticated user with Subscriber-level access or higher to update arbitrary plugin options, including the REST API Secret Key, leading to full site takeover. The flaw stems from a missing capability check in the Team_Accounts::save_settings function, and although no public exploit identified at time of analysis, the low authentication bar and chained admin-account creation path make it a high-priority risk on any WordPress site that permits public registration.
