PinchTab versions 0.8.3 through 0.8.5 contain a security-policy bypass that allows arbitrary JavaScript execution through the POST /wait endpoint's fn mode, even when the security.allowEvaluate setting is explicitly disabled. While the /evaluate endpoint correctly enforces the allowEvaluate guard, the /wait endpoint fails to apply the same policy check before evaluating caller-supplied JavaScript expressions, enabling authenticated users with an API token to execute arbitrary code in browser tab contexts despite the operator's intention to disable JavaScript evaluation. A proof-of-concept demonstrating this bypass has been published by the vendor, showing that side effects can be introduced in page state and confirmed through subsequent requests.
PinchTab versions 0.7.8 through 0.8.3 accept API authentication tokens via URL query parameters (?token=...) in addition to the Authorization header, creating an unsafe credential transport pattern that exposes tokens through intermediary logs, browser history, shell history, and clipboard history. While this is not a direct authentication bypass-an attacker must obtain the token from a secondary source-the vulnerability is compounded by first-party dashboard setup flows that generate and consume tokenized URLs, increasing practical exposure likelihood. The issue was resolved in version 0.8.4 by removing query-string token authentication entirely and enforcing header-based authentication.
Solidtime prior to version 0.11.6 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in its project detail endpoint that allows any authenticated employee to access private projects they are not members of by directly querying the GET /api/v1/organizations/{org}/projects/{project} endpoint with a project UUID.

PinchTab versions 0.8.3 through 0.8.5 contain a security-policy bypass that allows arbitrary JavaScript execution through the POST /wait endpoint's fn mode, even when the security.allowEvaluate setting is explicitly disabled. While the /evaluate endpoint correctly enforces the allowEvaluate guard, the /wait endpoint fails to apply the same policy check before evaluating caller-supplied JavaScript expressions, enabling authenticated users with an API token to execute arbitrary code in browser tab contexts despite the operator's intention to disable JavaScript evaluation. A proof-of-concept demonstrating this bypass has been published by the vendor, showing that side effects can be introduced in page state and confirmed through subsequent requests.
PinchTab versions 0.7.8 through 0.8.3 accept API authentication tokens via URL query parameters (?token=...) in addition to the Authorization header, creating an unsafe credential transport pattern that exposes tokens through intermediary logs, browser history, shell history, and clipboard history. While this is not a direct authentication bypass-an attacker must obtain the token from a secondary source-the vulnerability is compounded by first-party dashboard setup flows that generate and consume tokenized URLs, increasing practical exposure likelihood. The issue was resolved in version 0.8.4 by removing query-string token authentication entirely and enforcing header-based authentication.
Solidtime prior to version 0.11.6 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in its project detail endpoint that allows any authenticated employee to access private projects they are not members of by directly querying the GET /api/v1/organizations/{org}/projects/{project} endpoint with a project UUID.

No public exploit or active exploitation in the wild has been documented, but patches are available from the vendor.
Vikunja prior to version 2.2.1 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in the DELETE /api/v1/projects/:project/shares/:share endpoint that fails to verify link share ownership. An attacker with administrative access to any project can delete link shares from arbitrary other projects by combining their own project ID with a target share ID, effectively allowing cross-project share manipulation. This is a privilege escalation and denial-of-service vector affecting self-hosted Vikunja deployments where multiple projects exist.
Vikunja prior to version 2.2.1 suffers from an information disclosure vulnerability where the API returns full task object details in the `related_tasks` field without validating the requesting user's read permissions on the related tasks' projects. An authenticated attacker can exploit cross-project task relationships to enumerate sensitive task metadata (titles, descriptions, due dates, priorities, completion percentages, project IDs) from projects they have no access to, achieving a high-confidence information disclosure with CVSS 6.5 and no active exploitation reported in known exploit databases.
NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source contain an authentication bypass vulnerability in the ngx_stream_ssl_module where revoked certificates are incorrectly accepted during TLS handshakes despite OCSP checking. When ssl_verify_client and ssl_ocsp are both enabled, the module fails to properly enforce certificate revocation status, allowing clients with revoked certificates to establish connections. This affects both commercial NGINX Plus and open-source NGINX deployments with a CVSS score of 5.4 (Medium), representing a localized confidentiality and integrity impact requiring authenticated attackers.
A spoofing vulnerability exists in Firefox's Privacy: Anti-Tracking component that allows attackers to deceive users or bypass security mechanisms through fraudulent representation. Firefox versions prior to 149 are affected. While specific exploit details are limited in available intelligence, the spoofing nature suggests attackers could impersonate legitimate content or services, potentially leading to credential theft, phishing success, or privacy compromise. No CVSS score, EPSS data, or confirmed KEV status is currently available, limiting real-time risk quantification.
phpFileManager 1.7.8 contains a local file inclusion vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files by manipulating the action, fm_current_dir, and filename parameters. Rated medium severity (CVSS 6.9), this vulnerability is no authentication required, low attack complexity. Public exploit code available and no vendor patch available.
Apache Artemis before version 2.52.0 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability (CVE-2026-27446) that allows attackers to read all messages exchanged via the broker and inject new messages. KNIME Business Hub, which embeds Apache Artemis, is affected across all versions, though exploitation requires an authenticated user with workflow execution privileges who can register a federated mirror without authenticating to the underlying Artemis instance. While no public exploit code has been disclosed and CVSS scoring is unavailable, the vulnerability represents a significant insider threat with direct impact on message confidentiality and integrity.
An incorrect authorization vulnerability exists in Apache Artemis and Apache ActiveMQ Artemis where the OpenWire protocol fails to properly enforce permission checks when creating non-durable JMS topic subscriptions on non-existent addresses. A user with only 'createDurableQueue' permission but lacking 'createAddress' permission can bypass authorization controls to create temporary addresses that should be denied, circumventing the intended security model when address auto-creation is disabled. This authentication bypass persists until the OpenWire connection closes and the temporary address is cleaned up.
The Product Filter for WooCommerce by WBW plugin for WordPress (versions up to 3.1.2) contains a critical authentication bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to permanently delete all filter configurations by truncating the wp_wpf_filters database table. The vulnerability stems from the plugin's MVC framework registering unauthenticated AJAX handlers without capability checks, combined with a magic method that forwards calls to the model layer and a permission check that defaults to true. An attacker can exploit this with a single crafted AJAX request, resulting in complete data loss and service disruption for WooCommerce installations using this plugin.
SourceCodester Patients Waiting Area Queue Management System 1.0 contains an improper authorization flaw in the ValidateToken function of the Patient Check-In Module that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass access controls. Public exploit code is available for this vulnerability, and no patch has been released. The attack requires no user interaction and could enable unauthorized access to patient check-in functionality.
SQL injection in the password reset function of ESICLivre v0.2.2 and earlier allows unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data by manipulating the cpfcnpj parameter. The vulnerability requires no user interaction and can be exploited remotely over the network, though no patch is currently available.
WPGraphQL prior to version 2.10.0 allows authenticated low-privileged users to bypass comment moderation controls and self-approve their own comments without possessing the moderate_comments capability. The vulnerability exploits owner-based authorization logic in the updateComment mutation, enabling non-moderator users to transition comment status to APPROVE, HOLD, SPAM, or TRASH states directly. A proof-of-concept demonstrating this authorization bypass in WPGraphQL 2.9.1 has been published, and while the EPSS score of 0.03% indicates low statistical likelihood of exploitation, the attack vector is network-based with low complexity and requires only low-level user privileges (including custom roles with zero capabilities).
The User Registration & Membership plugin for WordPress contains an insufficient capability check vulnerability in its Content Access Rules REST API endpoints, allowing authenticated contributors and above to bypass intended administrative restrictions. Versions 5.0.1 through 5.1.4 are affected, enabling attackers to list, create, modify, toggle, duplicate, and delete site-wide content restriction rules, potentially exposing restricted content or denying legitimate user access. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5.4 with low attack complexity and low privilege requirements, making it readily exploitable by any authenticated user with contributor-level access or higher.
The LearnPress WordPress LMS Plugin contains a missing capability check vulnerability in the delete_question_answer() function that allows authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level privileges to delete quiz answer options without authorization. Affected versions include 4.3.2.8 and earlier; the vulnerability was patched in version 4.3.3. While the CVSS score is moderate (4.3), the attack requires only low-privilege authentication and no user interaction, making it practical for any authenticated site user to exploit.
The Smart Custom Fields WordPress plugin contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in the relational_posts_search() AJAX function that allows authenticated contributors and above to access private and draft posts from other authors. Affected versions through 5.0.6 fail to perform per-post capability checks, instead relying only on a generic edit_posts check, enabling unauthorized information disclosure of sensitive post content. With a CVSS score of 4.3 and low attack complexity requiring only network access and contributor-level credentials, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk to multi-author WordPress installations.
Synology OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.24 contain an authorization bypass in the synology-chat channel plugin where misconfigured allowlist policies with empty user IDs fail to enforce access controls. Authenticated attackers with Synology sender privileges can exploit this flaw to send unauthorized messages through downstream agents and tools. A patch is available.
OpenClaw before version 2026.2.26 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in group allowlist policy evaluation that improperly accepts sender identities from DM pairing-store approvals. Attackers with low privileges can exploit this boundary weakness by obtaining DM pairing approval to bypass group allowlist checks and gain unauthorized access to restricted groups. The vulnerability carries a moderate CVSS score of 4.6 with user interaction required, and patches are available from the vendor.
OpenClaw before version 2026.2.22 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in allowlist mode that allows attackers with high privileges to approve benign wrapped system.run commands and subsequently execute arbitrary commands without requiring additional approval on gateway and node-host execution flows. This vulnerability exploits allow-always persistence at the wrapper level to broaden trust boundaries beyond the initial approval scope. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 6.4 with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, though exploitation requires high privilege level and user interaction.
OpenClaw before version 2026.2.22 contains a critical allowlist bypass vulnerability in the system.run function that allows authenticated local attackers to execute arbitrary commands by circumventing security controls. An attacker with local access and low privileges can inject shell line-continuation sequences and command substitution syntax within double quotes to fold malicious payloads into executable subcommands, effectively bypassing the intended command allowlist. This vulnerability enables privilege escalation and arbitrary code execution on affected systems.
OpenClaw before version 2026.2.22 contains an allowlist bypass vulnerability in its system.run exec analysis functionality that fails to properly unwrap environment variable and shell-dispatch wrapper chains. Attackers with local access and limited privileges can exploit this to route command execution through wrapper binaries such as env or bash, allowing them to smuggle payloads past the intended allowlist restrictions. This vulnerability enables privilege escalation and integrity compromise on affected systems.
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.7 contain a sandbox escape vulnerability in the /acp spawn slash-command that allows authorized sandboxed users to initialize host-side ACP runtime and bypass sandbox restrictions. An attacker with low privileges and sandboxed chat access can invoke the vulnerable command to cross from isolated chat context into unrestricted host-side ACP session initialization when ACP is enabled, potentially escalating their capabilities beyond intended boundaries. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS score of 5.3 (medium severity) with a published patch available from the vendor.
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.7 contain a shell approval gating bypass vulnerability that allows local attackers with limited privileges to execute arbitrary shell commands by circumventing security approval controls. The vulnerability exploits a depth-boundary mismatch between the approval classifier and execution planner, permitting exactly four transparent dispatch wrappers (such as repeated env invocations) to bypass the security=allowlist approval requirement. While not currently listed in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, the CVSS 4.5 score and publicly available patch indicate this is a real but lower-priority vulnerability with moderate real-world risk depending on deployment context.
Blinko, an AI-powered card note-taking application, contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in its comment management endpoints that allows unauthenticated attackers to create and view comments on any note, including private notes that have not been publicly shared. Versions prior to 1.8.4 are vulnerable, and a patch has been released and is available via the official GitHub repository. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 with a network attack vector requiring no privileges or user interaction, making it trivial to exploit.
An Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability in Blinko versions prior to 1.8.4 allows authenticated attackers to leak the superadmin token through the user.detail endpoint by manipulating user identifiers. This authentication bypass vulnerability has a CVSS score of 6.0 and affects the Blinko AI-powered note-taking application. A patch is available in version 1.8.4, and proof-of-concept information is available via the official GitHub security advisory.
A logic flaw in New API's universal secure verification flow allows authenticated users with registered passkeys to bypass WebAuthn assertion completion, effectively circumventing step-up authentication for privileged actions. This affects New API versions 0.10.0 and later, enabling authenticated attackers with passkey enrollment to access sensitive functionality without completing proper cryptographic verification. No patched versions are currently available, making this an unresolved authentication bypass affecting all current deployments.
An Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability exists in New API versions prior to 0.11.4-alpha.2, a large language model gateway and AI asset management system. Authenticated users can bypass authorization checks on the video proxy endpoint (GET /v1/videos/:task_id/content) to access video content belonging to other users and cause the server to authenticate to upstream AI providers (Google Gemini, OpenAI) using credentials derived from tasks they do not own. The vulnerability stems from a single unguarded function call that queries tasks by task_id alone without validating user ownership, contrasting sharply with all other task-lookup functions in the codebase that properly enforce ownership checks.
