Privilege Escalation

A local attacker can bypass OpenEDR's 2.5.1.0 self-defense mechanism by renaming a malicious executable to match a trusted process name (e.g., csrss.exe, edrsvc.exe, edrcon.exe).

Serviio PRO 1.8 and earlier versions contain an unquoted service path vulnerability combined with insecure directory permissions that allows local authenticated users to escalate privileges to SYSTEM level. A public exploit is available, making this vulnerability easily exploitable by any authenticated user on the system. With a CVSS score of 7.8 and multiple proof-of-concept exploits published, this represents a significant risk for organizations running affected versions.

A privilege escalation vulnerability in Wowza Streaming Engine 4.5.0 allows authenticated read-only users to elevate their privileges to administrator level by manipulating POST parameters (accessLevel='admin', advUser='true'/'on') sent to the user edit endpoint. A public exploit is available on exploit-db, though the vulnerability has not been added to CISA's KEV catalog, suggesting limited real-world exploitation despite the high CVSS score of 8.8.

Wowza Streaming Engine 4.5.0 contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability where authenticated users can gain SYSTEM-level access by replacing service executables due to overly permissive file permissions that grant the Everyone group full control. A public proof-of-concept exploit is available, making this vulnerability easily exploitable by any authenticated local user to completely compromise the system.

ZKTeco ZKBioSecurity 3.0 contains a local file path manipulation vulnerability (CWE-276) that allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass access controls and read arbitrary files including configuration files, source code, and application resources. A publicly available proof-of-concept exists, and the vulnerability has moderate real-world risk due to its local attack vector requirement but high confidentiality impact on sensitive biometric system data.

Privilege escalation vulnerability in ZKTeco ZKAccess Professional 3.5.3 (Build 0005) where authenticated users can modify executable files due to insecure permissions, allowing them to replace binaries with malicious code and gain elevated privileges. Multiple public exploits are available (exploit-db, PacketStorm) making this a high-risk vulnerability for organizations using this access control software, despite no current KEV listing or EPSS data.

Critical insecure file permissions vulnerability in ZKTeco ZKTime.Net 3.0.1.6 that allows unprivileged local users to gain elevated privileges by replacing executable files in the world-writable application directory. Multiple public proof-of-concept exploits are available on Exploit-DB and PacketStorm, making this vulnerability easily exploitable despite requiring local access. While not listed in CISA KEV and lacking current EPSS data, the availability of working exploits and the simplicity of the attack make this a significant risk for organizations using this time and attendance software.

A validation bypass in the chunked file upload completion logic for file requests allows attackers to circumvent per-request file size limits by splitting oversized files into smaller chunks that individually pass validation. Attackers with access to a public file request link can sequentially upload chunks to exceed the administrator-configured MaxSize limit, uploading files up to the server's global MaxFileSizeMB threshold. This enables unauthorized storage consumption and potential service disruption through storage exhaustion, though no data exposure or privilege escalation occurs; the vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 4.3 with EPSS and KEV status not currently indicated as critical, suggesting limited real-world exploitation pressure despite straightforward attack mechanics.

A broken access control vulnerability in JetBrains Datalore allows authenticated users to escalate privileges horizontally, accessing resources of other users at the same permission level. The vulnerability affects Datalore versions prior to 2026.1 but only impacts specific configurations. With a CVSS score of 8.8 and high EPSS score of 0.36942, this represents a significant risk, though no active exploitation or proof-of-concept code has been reported publicly.

## Summary The REST API `createUser` endpoint uses string-based rank checks that only block creating `owner` accounts, while the Dashboard API uses `indexOf`-based rank comparison that prevents creating users at or above your own rank. This inconsistency allows an admin to create additional admin accounts via the REST API, enabling privilege proliferation and persistence. ## Details The REST API handler in `packages/studiocms/frontend/pages/studiocms_api/_handlers/rest-api/v1/secure.ts:1365-1378`: ```typescript // REST API - only blocks creating 'owner' if (newUserRank === 'owner' && rank !== 'owner') { return yield* new RestAPIError({ error: 'Unauthorized to create user with owner rank', }); } if (rank === 'admin' && newUserRank === 'owner') { return yield* new RestAPIError({ error: 'Unauthorized to create user with owner rank', }); } // Missing: no check preventing admin from creating admin // newUserRank='admin' passes all checks ``` The Dashboard API handler in `_handlers/dashboard/create.ts` uses the correct approach: ```typescript // Dashboard API - blocks creating users at or above own rank const callerPerm = availablePermissionRanks.indexOf(userData.permissionLevel); const targetPerm = availablePermissionRanks.indexOf(rank); if (targetPerm >= callerPerm) { return yield* new DashboardAPIError({ error: 'Unauthorized: insufficient permissions to assign target rank', }); } ``` With `availablePermissionRanks = ['unknown', 'visitor', 'editor', 'admin', 'owner']`: - Admin (index 3) creating admin (index 3): `3 >= 3` = blocked in Dashboard - In REST API: no such check - allowed ## PoC ```bash # 1. Use an admin-level API token # 2. Create a new admin user via REST API curl -X POST 'http://localhost:4321/studiocms_api/rest/v1/secure/users' \ -H 'Authorization: Bearer <admin-api-token>' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{ "username": "rogue_admin", "email": "rogue@attacker.com", "displayname": "Rogue Admin", "rank": "admin", "password": "StrongP@ssw0rd123" }' # Expected: 403 Forbidden (admin should not create peer admin accounts) # Actual: 200 with new admin user created ``` ## Impact - A compromised or rogue admin can create additional admin accounts as persistence mechanisms that survive password resets or token revocations - Inconsistent security model between Dashboard API and REST API creates confusion about intended authorization boundaries - Note: requires admin access (PR:H), which limits practical severity ## Recommended Fix Replace string-based checks with `indexOf` comparison in `packages/studiocms/frontend/pages/studiocms_api/_handlers/rest-api/v1/secure.ts`: ```typescript // Before: if (newUserRank === 'owner' && rank !== 'owner') { ... } if (rank === 'admin' && newUserRank === 'owner') { ... } // After: const availablePermissionRanks = ['unknown', 'visitor', 'editor', 'admin', 'owner']; const callerPerm = availablePermissionRanks.indexOf(rank); const targetPerm = availablePermissionRanks.indexOf(newUserRank); if (targetPerm >= callerPerm) { return yield* new RestAPIError({ error: 'Unauthorized: insufficient permissions to assign target rank', }); } ```

OliveTin versions prior to 3000.11.1 contain an authentication bypass in RestartAction that allows authenticated users to execute shell commands beyond their assigned permissions. The vulnerability stems from improper request context handling that causes the system to fall back to guest user privileges, which may have broader access than the authenticated caller. Public exploit code exists for this medium-severity flaw that enables privilege escalation and unauthorized command execution.

Unauthenticated remote attackers can impersonate electric vehicle charging stations in Everon's api.everon.io platform via unprotected OCPP WebSocket endpoints. By connecting with a known or discovered station identifier, attackers gain full control to issue OCPP commands as legitimate chargers, manipulate charging session data, escalate privileges within the charging network infrastructure, and corrupt backend telemetry. CISA ICS-CERT reports this vulnerability affecting critical EV charging infrastructure. Despite 9.3 CVSS score indicating critical severity, EPSS score of 0.09% (25th percentile) suggests exploitation requires specialized knowledge of OCPP protocol and charging network architecture rather than mass automated scanning.
