CVE-2025-62299 MEDIUM This Month

Privilege escalation in HCL IntelliOps Event Management (IEM) allows an authenticated, high-privileged attacker to access resources beyond their original authorization boundary, achieving confidentiality impact against protected data. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-272 (Least Privilege Violation) with a Changed scope in CVSS, indicating the attacker can reach resources outside their normal privilege domain within the application. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis; the EPSS signal was not provided.

CVE-2026-59915 HIGH PATCH This Week

Elevation of privileges in Dell Alienware Command Center (AWCC) versions prior to 6.14.20.0 allows a low-privileged local user to gain higher system access by exploiting a Least Privilege Violation (CWE-272). The application operates with or invokes components carrying excessive privileges, which a local attacker can abuse through an interaction-dependent trigger to achieve full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the affected host. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis; however, the full C:H/I:H/A:H triad indicates complete system compromise potential if the privilege boundary is crossed successfully.

CVE-2026-49500 MEDIUM PATCH This Month

Privilege escalation and denial of service in Dell Alienware Command Center (AWCC) versions prior to 6.14.20.0 are achievable by a local low-privileged attacker exploiting a link-following flaw in the application's privileged file access routines. The vulnerability allows an attacker to substitute a symbolic link or directory junction between the time AWCC resolves a filesystem path and the time it performs a privileged file operation, redirecting that operation to an arbitrary location. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability does not appear in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog; Dell has released a patched version per advisory DSA-2026-334.

CVE-2026-15271 HIGH This Week

Least-privilege violation across multiple TOTOLINK SOHO router models (A3000RU, A3100R, A950RG, AC1200T10, CP450, CS185R_T10, EX200 through firmware 20260906) stems from the /etc/boa/boa.conf configuration of the Boa web-server interface, allowing a low-privileged remote actor to gain access or information beyond their intended authorization boundary. The flaw carries CVSS 4.0 base score 7.7 with high attack complexity, and VulDB rates real-world exploitation as difficult. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.

CVE-2026-15270 MEDIUM POC This Month

Least-privilege violation in the D-Link DIR-823G router (firmware 1.0.2B05_20181207) stems from insecure configuration of the Boa web server via /etc/boa/boa.conf, allowing an authenticated remote attacker to abuse over-broad privileges to compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Publicly available exploit code exists, but the CVSS 4.0 vector rates attack complexity high (AC:H) and vendor guidance notes exploitation is difficult; there is no public exploit identified as actively exploited (not in CISA KEV). EPSS data was not supplied, but the low-privilege network vector combined with full CIA impact makes this a meaningful risk on exposed devices.

CVE-2026-11555 LOW POC Monitor

Least privilege violation in the D-Link DGS-1100-08PD managed switch firmware version 1.00.006 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to achieve low-integrity impact through improper processing of the Boa web server configuration file /etc/boa.conf via the device's web interface. The CVSS 4.0 score is 2.9 (Low), reflecting high attack complexity (AC:H) and constrained impact (VI:L only), though a publicly available proof-of-concept lowers the barrier for skilled attackers. No active exploitation has been confirmed in CISA KEV, making this a low-priority but trackable risk for network operators deploying this switch model.

Least privilege violation in TOTOLINK CP450 router firmware 4.1.0cu.747 allows low-privileged remote attackers to perform unauthorized integrity-affecting actions via the vsftpd FTP service, whose configuration in /etc/vsftpd.conf grants excessive permissions beyond operational necessity. The vulnerability carries a low CVSS 4.0 score of 2.1, reflecting constrained impact limited to low integrity effects on the vulnerable system with no confidentiality or availability consequence. A publicly available proof-of-concept exploit exists, and no CISA KEV listing has been confirmed, indicating no known active widespread exploitation at time of analysis.

Unauthenticated remote exploitation of the Boa embedded web server on the D-Link DCS-5615 IP camera (firmware 1.01.00) allows attackers to violate the principle of least privilege via manipulation of the `/etc/conf.d/boa/boa.conf` configuration component. The CVSS 4.0 vector confirms network-reachable, zero-complexity, no-authentication access with an active proof-of-concept exploit publicly available. No public KEV listing is present, but the PoC status elevates real-world risk for this class of always-on, internet-facing IoT device.

Least-privilege violation in TOTOLINK AC1200 T8 firmware 4.1.5cu.8611 exposes the vsftpd FTP service to unauthorized integrity manipulation by low-privileged authenticated network users. The /etc/vsftpd.conf configuration grants excessive permissions beyond the principle of least privilege (CWE-272), allowing a low-privilege authenticated attacker to perform write operations they should not be authorized to execute. A proof-of-concept exploit has been publicly disclosed; the vulnerability is not confirmed in CISA KEV, but the CVSS temporal vector (E:P, RC:R) reflects publicly available exploit code with reasonable confidence in the report.

The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/I:L) confirms this is remotely exploitable with low complexity by any authenticated user, resulting in limited integrity impact. A publicly available proof-of-concept exploit has been released per VulDB reporting (E:P), though no active exploitation has been confirmed in CISA KEV at this time.
