Privilege Escalation
Monthly
Privilege escalation in Actual Budget sync-server (npm @actual-app/sync-server before 26.4.0) allows any authenticated user, including a low-privilege BASIC-role account, to gain full ADMIN control on servers that were migrated from password authentication to OpenID Connect. The flaw chains an unauthorized /account/change-password endpoint, an orphaned password auth row left active after migration, and a client-controlled loginMethod override, letting an attacker set a known password and log in as the anonymous ADMIN account. Publicly available exploit code exists (SSVC PoC) with a working curl-based chain, though EPSS is low (0.07%) and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Command injection in Paperclip @paperclipai/server (versions <2026.416.0) allows authenticated agents to execute arbitrary OS commands on the server host. Attackers with Agent API credentials can escalate from agent runtime to full server host control by injecting malicious shell commands through the adapterConfig.workspaceStrategy.provisionCommand field during workspace provisioning. CVSS 8.8 (high) with network-accessible attack vector and low complexity. Vendor patch available in version 2026.416.0. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing identified at time of analysis, but the vulnerability breaks critical trust boundaries in multi-agent AI orchestration systems.
Identity spoofing in IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty 17.0.0.3 through 26.0.0.4 allows authenticated attackers with low privileges to impersonate other users and escalate privileges when applications are deployed without proper authentication and authorization controls. The vulnerability requires high attack complexity and low-privilege credentials, but enables complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability within the application scope. CVSS 7.5 (High) reflects the significant impact once exploitation conditions are met. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and vendor patch is available per IBM advisory.
SQL injection in NocoBase plugin-collection-sql allows authenticated users with collection management permissions to bypass validation controls and execute arbitrary SQL queries. The checkSQL() function blocks dangerous keywords on collection creation and execution but is completely absent from the update endpoint, enabling attackers to create benign SQL collections then modify them with malicious queries to exfiltrate sensitive data including user credentials. Vendor patch available via GitHub PR #9134 and commit 851aee5. CVSS 7.2 reflects high privileges required (PR:H), but real-world impact is severe for environments where collection managers are not fully trusted administrators.
Remote code execution and full account takeover in CI4MS (CodeIgniter 4 CMS/ERP) allows authenticated high-privilege users to escalate to superadmin and compromise all accounts via stored DOM XSS in backup module filename fields. Attackers craft malicious SQL backup files containing hidden JavaScript payloads that execute when administrators view backup listings. Vendor-released patch available in version 0.31.5.0, addressing XSS via output escaping in DataTables rendering. No CISA KEV listing or public POC identified at time of analysis, but CVSS 9.1 Critical reflects scope change and multi-stage exploitation potential.
Privilege escalation to root in uutils coreutils chroot utility allows low-privileged local attackers with write access to the chroot target directory to execute arbitrary code via malicious NSS module injection. The vulnerability triggers when --userspec option causes getpwnam() to load attacker-controlled shared libraries from the new root before dropping privileges, enabling container escape or full system compromise on glibc-based systems. CVSS 7.8 with Scope Changed indicates host compromise from containerized environments. SSVC framework confirms POC availability and total technical impact, though exploitation requires specific configuration (writable NEWROOT) and is not automatable.
Privilege escalation in uutils coreutils mkfifo utility allows local attackers with low privileges to manipulate file permissions on arbitrary system files. A TOCTOU race condition between FIFO creation and permission setting enables symlink swapping attacks, redirecting chmod operations to unintended targets. SSVC framework indicates proof-of-concept exists with total technical impact. While CVSS rates this 7.0 (High), exploitation requires high attack complexity (race condition timing), low privileges, and write access to the parent directory where mkfifo is executed - most impactful when the utility runs with elevated privileges in automated scripts or system processes. No active exploitation confirmed (not in CISA KEV); EPSS data not available.
OpenRemote Manager allows privilege escalation to Keycloak master realm administrator through improper authorization in the Manager API. Users with write:admin permission in any non-master realm can manipulate realm role assignments in other realms, including master, by exploiting missing authorization checks in the updateUserRealmRoles endpoint. An attacker controlling any user in the master realm can grant themselves admin privileges, achieving full Keycloak administrator access. Vendor-released patch version 1.22.1 addresses this vulnerability. No public exploit code identified at time of analysis, though a detailed proof-of-concept is documented in the advisory.
Local privilege escalation in PackageKit 1.0.2-1.3.4 allows unprivileged Linux users to install arbitrary RPM packages as root without authentication via TOCTOU race condition on transaction flags. The vulnerability exploits three synchronized bugs in the transaction state machine: unconditional flag overwrite, silent state-transition rejection that leaves corrupted flags, and late flag validation at dispatch time. Actively exploited in targeted attacks according to vendor advisory. CVSS 8.8 with scope change reflects full system compromise from low-privileged account. Patched in version 1.3.5.
Local privilege escalation in pcvisit Remote Host Modul on Windows allows low-privileged users to gain NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM by overwriting the service binary with malicious code that executes automatically at boot. All versions after 22.6.22.1329 through 25.12.3.1745 are affected due to weak file permissions (CWE-276). Vendor patched in version 25.12.3.1745 per advisory. EPSS and KEV status unknown, but vulnerability is trivial to exploit (CVSS AV:L/AC:L/PR:L) with maximum local impact (8.5 High).
Unauthorized remote access in HKUDS OpenHarness (all versions prior to the PR #147 fix, released as v0.1.7) stems from an insecure default where every enabled remote channel is created with allow_from = ["*"], so any sender able to reach the channel passes the admission check without being an approved identity. Once past admission, an attacker reaches host-backed agent runtimes and can invoke the default-enabled read-only tools, enabling unauthorized file disclosure and read access on the host. Publicly available exploit code exists (SSVC 'poc') but it is not on CISA KEV, and EPSS is very low at 0.08%.
Remote attackers can install and activate arbitrary plugins in HKUDS OpenHarness through exposed plugin management commands. Pre-PR#156 versions expose /plugin install, /plugin enable, /plugin disable, and /reload-plugins endpoints to unauthenticated remote senders via the channel layer, allowing complete control over plugin trust and activation state. Vendor patch available in v0.1.7 (commit 59017e0). CVSS 8.7 with network vector and no authentication required, though user interaction is needed. No active exploitation confirmed (not in CISA KEV), but VulnCheck advisory and GitHub references provide technical details that could facilitate exploitation.

Public disclosure via VulnCheck advisory with commit-level fix details increases likelihood of exploitation attempts.
Local privilege escalation in SKYSEA Client View (≤21.200.07j) and SKYMEC IT Manager (≤2024.005.10a) allows low-privileged users to execute arbitrary code with administrative privileges by exploiting insecure installation folder permissions. Attackers can write malicious files into the product directory, achieving full system compromise. EPSS score of 0.01% (2nd percentile) indicates low likelihood of widespread exploitation despite CVSS 8.5 severity. No active exploitation confirmed; CISA SSVC assessment marks exploitation status as 'none' and automatable as 'no', suggesting targeted attack potential rather than mass exploitation risk.
OS command injection in TeamT5 ThreatSonar Anti-Ransomware ≤4.0.0 allows authenticated remote attackers with shell access to escalate privileges to root. Despite the high CVSS score (8.7), exploitation requires legitimate shell access and low-privilege authentication, limiting attack surface to environments where ransomware protection agents are accessible to compromised accounts. EPSS probability is low (0.12%, 32nd percentile), and no active exploitation or public POC has been identified. Taiwan CERT published advisories, suggesting regional deployment significance.
Privilege escalation in OpenXiangShan NEMU allows authenticated local attackers to bypass state-enable isolation controls when Smstateen extension is enabled. Clearing mstateen0.ENVCFG fails to properly restrict access to henvcfg and senvcfg Control and Status Registers (CSRs), enabling less-privileged code to read or write privileged configuration registers without triggering required exceptions. This undermines virtualization boundaries and multi-privilege isolation in RISC-V processor emulation environments. EPSS exploitation probability is low (0.02%, 4th percentile), no active exploitation confirmed, and publicly available exploit code exists via GitHub issue #690.
Privilege escalation in Doorman API gateway v0.1.0 and v1.0.2 allows authenticated users to elevate their role to high-privileged (non-admin) accounts by directly editing the 'role' field via the /platform/user/{username} endpoint. The vulnerability stems from missing authorization checks on self-service user updates - any valid login credential is sufficient to escalate privileges to roles like 'manager' or 'developer'. CVSS 9.9 (Critical) reflects the Changed scope and broad compromise potential. SSVC indicates proof-of-concept code exists but exploitation requires human interaction (not automatable), suggesting targeted rather than mass-exploitation risk. No CISA KEV listing at time of analysis.
Remote code execution in ChurchCRM <7.2.0 allows authenticated administrators to upload PHP webshells through the database backup restore function, which copies files from archive Images/ directories to web-accessible paths without extension filtering.

CISA SSVC framework confirms POC availability with total technical impact, though EPSS exploitation probability remains very low (0.01%, 2nd percentile), indicating research-phase discovery rather than widespread targeting. No CISA KEV listing at time of analysis. Vendor-released patch available in version 0.24.
Syscall 12 (JumpToUser) in NovumOS versions prior to 0.24 executes arbitrary kernel code at Ring 0 privilege when invoked by unprivileged Ring 3 user-mode processes. The vulnerability stems from missing address validation on user-supplied entry points, enabling local privilege escalation from user mode to kernel mode with complete system control. CISA SSVC framework confirms publicly available exploit code (POC status) with total technical impact, though EPSS score remains low at 0.02% (5th percentile), suggesting limited real-world targeting of this niche custom operating system despite the severe technical flaw.
Symlink-based path traversal in the npm package 'compressing' v2.1.0 enables arbitrary file overwrites outside intended extraction directories via pre-planted symbolic links delivered through Git repositories. Attackers exploit a partial fix bypass of CVE-2026-24884 by poisoning filesystem state before archive extraction-Git clone operations automatically deploy malicious symlinks without user interaction beyond standard developer workflows. This supply chain vector allows overwriting critical system files (e.g., /etc/passwd) or application binaries to achieve privilege escalation or remote code execution. CVSS 8.4 (AV:L) reflects local attack vector, but real-world risk is amplified by Git-based delivery requiring zero privileges and no user interaction beyond cloning a malicious repository. No EPSS or KEV data available at time of analysis.
Local privilege escalation in the Red Magic 11 Pro (NX809J) gaming smartphone through firmware V1.0.0B14MR1 allows a non-privileged installed application to invoke a sensitive service interface that fails to validate its callers, letting the app write files to specific device partitions and set writable system properties. Reported by ZTE/Nubia through their own support bulletin, the issue is rated CVSS 8.8 with a scope change (S:C) reflecting the crossing of the app-sandbox privilege boundary into system context. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS is negligible (0.01%), and CISA SSVC records exploitation status as none.
Local privilege escalation in Rapid7 Insight Agent (versions > 4.1.0.2) on Windows allows unprivileged users to execute arbitrary code as SYSTEM via OpenSSL configuration file planting.

CVSS 8.5 with proof-of-concept exploit code available (E:P). EPSS data not provided; not currently listed in CISA KEV.
Privilege escalation in Microchip IStaX before 2026.03 allows an authenticated low-privileged web user to derive the shared per-device cookie secret directly from their own webstax_auth session cookie and mint a forged cookie granting full administrative access. Because the secret is common to the device rather than per-user and can be reconstructed from an already-issued cookie, any account holder can self-elevate to admin. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is very low (0.04%), but the technical impact is total.
Local privilege escalation in Dell Storage Manager - Replay Manager for Microsoft Servers 8.0 allows low-privileged authenticated users to gain elevated privileges with high integrity and availability impact. Dell has released security advisory DSA-2026-058 with patches. The CVSS 7.3 (High) score reflects significant post-exploitation impact, though local access and existing authentication requirements limit initial attack surface. No active exploitation (CISA KEV) or public proof-of-concept code identified at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation in AcyMailing WordPress plugin (versions 9.11.0-10.8.1) allows authenticated Subscriber-level users to gain administrator access through a multi-stage attack chain. Attackers exploit a missing capability check in the wp_ajax_acymailing_router AJAX handler to access admin-only configuration controllers, enable autologin features, inject malicious cms_id values into newsletter subscribers, and authenticate as any WordPress user including administrators. EPSS data not available; no confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV absent), but the low attack complexity (AC:L) and detailed public code references increase exploitation risk for installations with subscriber registration enabled.
Unauthenticated remote attackers can escalate to administrator privileges on WordPress sites running Riaxe Product Customizer plugin ≤2.1.2. The plugin exposes an AJAX endpoint ('install-imprint') without authentication checks that allows arbitrary WordPress option manipulation, enabling attackers to create administrator accounts by modifying registration settings. CVSS 9.8 (Critical) reflects the complete site compromise potential. EPSS data not provided but exploitation requires only HTTP access to any vulnerable WordPress installation with this plugin active-no special conditions beyond plugin presence.
Authenticated low-privileged users in wger can modify installation-wide gym configuration via /config/gym-config/edit due to missing permission enforcement, enabling vertical privilege escalation. The GymConfigUpdateView declares 'config.change_gymconfig' permission but inherits WgerFormMixin instead of WgerPermissionMixin, causing the permission check to never execute. Exploiting this allows attackers to manipulate default gym assignments affecting all users, with GymConfig.save() automatically reassigning user profiles and creating gym configurations tenant-wide. CVSS 7.6 (High) with network attack vector, low complexity, and low privileges required. No active exploitation (KEV) or public POC identified at time of analysis, though GitHub advisory provides detailed reproduction steps.
Privilege escalation to WordPress administrator via insecure token-based authentication in Barcode Scanner (+Mobile App) plugin versions ≤1.11.0 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to gain full administrative control. The plugin leaks valid admin authentication tokens through the 'barcodeScannerConfigs' action and accepts Base64-encoded user IDs without validation, enabling attackers to spoof admin credentials, extract legitimate tokens, and modify any user's 'wp_capabilities' meta to grant themselves administrator privileges. CVSS 9.8 (Critical) with network vector, low complexity, and no authentication required. Vendor patch deployed in changeset 3506824.

Attack requires low-privilege authenticated access but can escalate to full root-level code execution.
Privilege escalation in Chamilo LMS versions prior to 2.0.0-RC.3 allows authenticated students to gain full administrative access via API manipulation. Low-privilege users (ROLE_STUDENT) can modify their own user record through the PUT /api/users/{id} endpoint to assign themselves ROLE_ADMIN privileges, bypassing intended access controls. The vulnerability stems from inadequate authorization checks that verify only record ownership without restricting modification of security-critical fields. With CVSS 8.8 (High) and low attack complexity requiring only basic authentication, this represents a critical access control failure in educational platforms. No public exploit code or active exploitation (CISA KEV) identified at time of analysis, though the straightforward attack vector makes exploitation trivial for malicious insiders.
Unisys WebPerfect Image Suite 3.0.3960.22810 and 3.0.3960.22604 leak NTLMv2 machine-account hashes through an unauthenticated SOAP endpoint on TCP port 1208, enabling remote attackers to force SMB authentication attempts and relay credentials for privilege escalation or lateral movement. The WCF service accepts unsanitized file paths in the ReadLicense action, allowing UNC path injection to trigger outbound SMB connections. CVSS 7.0 with network attack vector, low complexity, and no authentication required (PR:N). No public exploit code identified at time of analysis, though the attack technique is straightforward for adversaries familiar with NTLM relay tactics.
