Privilege Escalation
Monthly
Privilege escalation in the AIWU (AI Copilot Content Generator) WordPress plugin by Sergey, affecting all versions up to and including 1.4.17, allows remote unauthenticated attackers to gain elevated privileges on a target WordPress site. The CVSS 9.8 score with AV:N/PR:N indicates no authentication is required and the attack can be carried out over the network against any site running a vulnerable installation. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the Patchstack reference indicates this was identified through their managed audit program for WordPress plugins.
Privilege escalation in the Contest Gallery Pro WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 29.0.1) allows remote unauthenticated attackers to gain elevated privileges within affected WordPress sites due to incorrect privilege assignment (CWE-266). The CVSS 9.8 score combined with network-reachable, no-authentication exploitation makes this a critical-severity issue, though no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The vulnerability was disclosed by Patchstack's audit team and currently has no entry in CISA KEV.
Arbitrary workspace deletion in praisonai-platform allows any workspace member to permanently destroy the entire workspace, including all projects, issues, agents, and member records, via a single DELETE request. The endpoint only checks for workspace membership (default min_role='member') instead of requiring owner privileges, leaving no confirmation or recovery path. The vulnerability requires low‑privilege authentication (any member token) and carries a CVSS 8.1 score with high integrity and availability impact.
Privilege escalation in praisonai-platform allows any workspace member to inject arbitrary users as owners with a single POST request. This grants full workspace control, bypassing all owner‑gated operations. Versions before 0.1.4 are affected; a vendor fix is available, but no active exploitation has been publicly confirmed.
Privilege escalation in Apache ActiveMQ versions before 5.19.7 and 6.0.0 through 6.2.5 allows authenticated low-privilege web-login users to invoke administrative Jolokia operations such as addQueue and removeQueue due to overly permissive default authorization settings. The CVSS 8.8 score reflects high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, though EPSS exploitation probability sits at just 0.01% and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The flaw effectively collapses the broker's privilege boundary between normal web users and administrators.
Local privilege escalation in MediaTek GenieZone (trusted execution environment) allows an attacker who has already gained System-level privileges on an affected device to write out-of-bounds memory and escalate further on the chipset. The flaw affects a broad range of MediaTek chipsets used in mobile and embedded devices, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis. CVSS is 7.8 (High) reflecting the high integrity, confidentiality, and availability impact despite the local attack vector.
Remote code execution in the Spectra Gutenberg Blocks WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 2.19.25) allows authenticated users with Contributor-level access or higher to execute arbitrary PHP on the server by abusing the plugin's block rendering logic. The flaw stems from the plugin trusting attacker-controlled block attributes to register a fake uagb/-prefixed block type with an arbitrary render_callback, which is then invoked via call_user_func() when a second block of the same type is rendered in the same request. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the low privilege bar (Contributor is commonly granted to untrusted guest authors) makes this a high-priority issue for sites with open registration.
Vertical privilege escalation in praisonai-platform allows any workspace member to set their role to owner via a single PATCH request to the members endpoint, granting full administrative control over the workspace. Affected versions include all releases prior to 0.1.4. No active exploitation has been observed, and the EPSS score of 0.03% indicates low likelihood of widespread attacks; a vendor patch is available in version 0.1.4.
Authorization bypass in praisonai-platform's workspace member removal endpoint allows any workspace member to delete any other member, including the owner. An attacker with a low-privilege member token can permanently lock the legitimate owner out of their workspace, leading to a complete denial of service and, when combined with other flawed endpoints, full workspace takeover. Patched in version 0.1.4.
Vertical privilege escalation in PraisonAI Platform versions 0.1.2 and earlier allows any authenticated low-privilege workspace member to self-promote to owner and take over the workspace. The flaw stems from administrative FastAPI routes reusing a shared authorization dependency that defaults to the lowest 'member' role, so role-mutation endpoints never enforce admin/owner checks. A working PoC is published in the GHSA-h37g-4h4p-9x97 advisory, though no public exploit identified at time of analysis in mass-exploitation form, and the issue is not currently in CISA KEV.
Cross-tenant IDOR and role-enforcement failure in PraisonAI Platform (praisonai-platform <= 0.1.2) let any registered user read, modify, or delete agents, issues, projects, labels, comments, and dependencies belonging to any other workspace, and let a basic member promote itself to admin/owner, evict the owner, and delete workspaces. The FastAPI `require_workspace_member` dependency validates only the URL-prefix workspace while service lookups fetch inner resources by primary key alone, so an attacker supplies their own workspace_id in the prefix and a victim's resource_id in the path. A detailed working proof-of-concept (curl-based, eight steps) is published in the vendor advisory; there is no evidence of active in-the-wild exploitation, and EPSS is low at 0.04%.
Cross-workspace IDOR and member-to-owner privilege escalation in PraisonAI Platform API (pip package praisonai-platform <= 0.1.2) lets any authenticated user read, modify, and delete issues and projects belonging to other tenants, and lets any workspace member promote themselves to owner and evict the legitimate owner. The two flaws chain together: a single member-level invite to any workspace becomes platform-wide data access plus full takeover of any workspace the attacker is added to. No public exploit identified at time of analysis beyond the detailed PoC published in the GHSA advisory, and the issue is not in CISA KEV.
Authentication bypass in NI SystemLink Enterprise Dashboard (versions 2026-04 and prior) allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to send a crafted HTTP request that circumvents authentication controls, leading to privilege escalation or disclosure of sensitive information. The flaw carries a CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.3 and is network-reachable with low attack complexity and no user interaction. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not currently listed in CISA KEV.
Privilege escalation in Shopper headless e-commerce admin panel prior to version 2.8.0 allows any low-privilege authenticated panel user to seize full administrator control by chaining two distinct broken-authorization defects in the team settings module. By combining an unprotected Settings/Team/Index mount with a RolePermission write path that only checks the read-only view_users permission, an attacker can mint new roles, grant themselves manage_users and edit_orders, and delete legitimate administrators. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the bugs are straightforward to weaponize once panel credentials are obtained.
Local privilege escalation in Plesk's APS Application Catalog allows an authenticated low-privileged user to execute arbitrary operating system commands by injecting malicious XPath syntax into the catalog search functionality. The flaw carries a critical CVSS 3.1 score of 9.9 due to scope change and full CIA impact, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The advisory was disclosed via HackerOne and acknowledged in a Plesk support article, but EPSS and KEV signals are not provided in the available intelligence.
Privilege escalation in Froxlor 2.3.6 allows an authenticated customer with shell access to gain root SSH on the managed host by exploiting a symlink-following flaw in the root-owned SSH key synchronization cron. By replacing the customer's `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` with a symlink to `/root/.ssh/authorized_keys` before the privileged sync runs, attacker-supplied keys are appended to root's authorized_keys. No public exploit identified at time of analysis beyond the detailed PoC in the GHSA advisory, and the issue is fixed in Froxlor 2.3.7.
Privilege escalation in RustFS distributed object storage before 1.0.0-beta.2 lets a low-privileged user holding ImportIAMAction abuse the PUT /rustfs/admin/v3/import-iam endpoint to mint service accounts under arbitrary parent identities - including the root minioadmin user - granting full administrative control via attacker-chosen, persistent credentials. CVSS 4.0 scores this 9.3 (Critical) reflecting low attack complexity, low privileges, and high confidentiality/integrity impact with scope change. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and no EPSS or KEV signal is provided.
Remote unauthenticated privilege escalation in the WP Maps Pro WordPress plugin (all versions through 6.1.0) allows attackers to create a new administrator account and authenticate as that user, resulting in complete site takeover. The flaw stems from an AJAX handler exposed to unauthenticated users and protected only by a publicly-embedded nonce, making the access check ineffective. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the trivial nature of the bug (default-enabled handler, no authentication, magic login URL returned to the caller) makes weaponization straightforward once details circulate.
Privilege escalation in the Drupal SAML SSO - Service Provider contributed module (versions prior to 3.1.4) allows remote unauthenticated attackers to gain elevated privileges by exploiting improper handling of exceptional conditions during SAML authentication flows. The CVSS 7.4 (High) score reflects high attack complexity but network reachability and no authentication requirement, with confidentiality and integrity impact. EPSS probability is very low (0.02%, 5th percentile) and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Authenticated arbitrary file read in Arcane (Docker management UI) versions ≤ 1.19.3 allows any low-privileged user to read any file accessible to the backend process by abusing Docker Compose `include:` directives. Because `CreateProject` skips include-path validation that `UpdateProject` enforces, an attacker can register a project whose compose file points at `/etc/passwd` or `/app/data/arcane.db`, then fetch the contents via the project file API - yielding stored password hashes and API keys for all users, enabling admin takeover and host RCE through Arcane's Docker control plane. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; vendor patch is available in 1.19.4.
Unauthenticated privilege escalation in the Advanced Custom Fields: Extended (ACFE) WordPress plugin through version 0.9.2.5 allows remote attackers to create new administrator-level accounts on vulnerable sites. The flaw stems from the after_validate_save_post() function trusting an attacker-controlled POST parameter to bypass role allow-list and capability validation when a public ACFE frontend form with a Create User action is exposed. With a CVSS 9.8 and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, the vulnerability presents a direct site-takeover path on affected configurations.
Remote code execution in Google Chrome on macOS prior to version 148.0.7778.216 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code within the renderer sandbox by enticing a victim to visit a crafted HTML page that triggers an inappropriate implementation flaw in the ANGLE graphics layer. The issue is rated High by Chromium and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8 with user interaction required; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is low at 0.04%.
Sandbox escape in Google Chrome versions prior to 148.0.7778.216 allows a remote attacker to break out of the renderer sandbox via a crafted HTML page that triggers an inappropriate implementation flaw in the Tint graphics component. The issue carries a CVSS 9.6 (scope-changed) rating reflecting cross-boundary impact, requires user interaction (visiting a malicious page), and is rated High severity by Chromium; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is low at 0.03%.
Sandbox escape in Google Chrome on Android prior to 148.0.7778.216 allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to break out of the browser sandbox via a crafted HTML page exploiting an inappropriate implementation in the Skia graphics library. Chromium rates the underlying issue as Critical severity, though no public exploit is identified at time of analysis and EPSS is very low at 0.03%. This is a chain-stage bug - exploitation requires a pre-existing renderer compromise, making it valuable as the second link in a full Android browser exploit chain rather than a standalone vector.
Full product takeover of Oracle Flow Manufacturing (versions 12.2.9 through 12.2.15) is achievable by a low-privileged remote attacker via SQL-based network access, per Oracle's advisory. The flaw scores CVSS 8.8 with high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis. As a component of Oracle E-Business Suite, exploitation provides an attacker with control over a business-critical manufacturing execution system.
Account takeover in Oracle Payroll (Self Service Manager component) of Oracle E-Business Suite versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 allows a low-privileged authenticated attacker to fully compromise the Payroll module over HTTP. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8 reflects high impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and Oracle has issued a fix in the May 2026 Critical Patch Update. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Account takeover in Oracle Universal Work Queue (component: Work Provider Site Level Administration) within Oracle E-Business Suite versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 allows low-privileged remote attackers over HTTP to fully compromise the product with confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. The CVSS 9.9 score reflects a scope-changing flaw whose blast radius extends to other Oracle E-Business Suite products beyond Universal Work Queue itself. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity and minimal privilege requirement make this a high-priority Oracle Critical Patch Update item.
Remote takeover of Oracle Payments in Oracle E-Business Suite versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 is possible via the File Transmission component, allowing unauthenticated network-based attackers to fully compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CVSS 9.8). The flaw is described by Oracle as easily exploitable over HTTP with no user interaction, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Tagged as Information Disclosure and listed in Oracle's May 2026 Critical Patch Update advisory.
Privilege escalation in Portainer Community Edition stems from permissive default endpoint security settings that grant non-admin users with endpoint access the ability to create containers with bind mounts, privileged mode, host namespaces, device mappings, sysctl settings, and Linux capabilities. An authenticated low-privilege user can leverage these defaults to read arbitrary host files or break out of the container boundary to achieve root-equivalent code execution on the Docker host. Publicly available exploit code exists per CVSS v4.0 threat metrics (E:P), but the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
Cross-organization token exchange in Casdoor versions 2.362.0 and earlier allows remote unauthenticated attackers to escalate privileges across organizational boundaries by exploiting incomplete JWT validation in the GetTokenExchangeToken function. While the signature is verified, the absence of an organization-scope check lets a valid token issued for one tenant be exchanged for tokens against applications belonging to a different tenant, breaking the multi-tenant trust model. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS remains very low (0.02%) despite a CVSS of 9.8.
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.
Local privilege escalation in Canonical Multipass for macOS before 1.16.3 allows a low-privileged local user to obtain root execution by replacing co-located auxiliary binaries that the multipassd LaunchDaemon invokes via a user-writable PATH directory. The flaw is an incomplete remediation of CVE-2025-5199: while 1.16.0 corrected ownership of the multipassd binary itself, five sibling binaries (multipass, qemu-img, qemu-system-aarch64, qemu-system-x86_64, sshfs_server) were left owned by the installing user and writable, enabling binary planting. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not currently listed in CISA KEV.
Privilege escalation in phpMyFAQ before 4.1.3 allows any authenticated low-privilege administrator to take over SuperAdmin (userId=1) or any other account by manipulating the userId parameter in the /admin/api/user/overwrite-password PUT request. The flaw is an insecure direct object reference (IDOR) in the Admin API where authorization checks confirm only that the caller holds the generic USER_EDIT permission, never that the caller is authorized to manage the targeted account. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the GHSA advisory from the vendor (thorsten) publicly documents the exact vulnerable code path, making weaponization trivial.
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.
Local privilege escalation in Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows enables a low-privileged authenticated user to escalate to higher privileges on the host, with the CWE-532 mapping indicating sensitive information is exposed via log files that the attacker can read or abuse. CVSS 4.0 base score is 7.3 with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the vulnerable component, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The flaw is tied to the broader Veeam Backup and Replication 13 ecosystem (≤13.0.1 per ENISA EUVD), making it relevant on any Windows endpoint where the Veeam Agent is deployed alongside or as part of that platform.
Privilege escalation in Keycloak's Fine-Grained Admin Permissions v2 (FGAPv2) allows an administrator with only limited client-management rights to attach arbitrary realm roles - including highly privileged ones - to a client's scope mappings, causing those roles to be injected into user authentication tokens that traverse the modified client. The flaw affects the Red Hat Build of Keycloak per the vendor advisory and has no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the high-privilege admin pivot makes it operationally significant in multi-tenant identity deployments.
Local privilege escalation in Acer NitroSense software versions prior to 3.01.3052 allows any authenticated local user to delete arbitrary files with SYSTEM authority by abusing a weakly-ACL'd Named Pipe exposed by the PSAdminAgent service. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but the issue was disclosed by Acer themselves and a patched version is available.
Privilege escalation in Budibase before 3.39.0 lets a workspace-scoped builder promote themselves or any other user to global administrator with a single POST to /api/public/v1/roles/assign. The builderOrAdmin middleware admits app-level builders (builder.apps set, builder.global unset) and the controller blindly spreads the request body into the SDK, allowing the caller to set builder.global=true or admin.global=true on arbitrary user IDs. The flaw turns a tenant-confined Enterprise feature into full tenant-wide takeover; no public exploit is identified at time of analysis, but the technique is fully described in the GitHub advisory.
Privilege escalation in Red Hat Build of Keycloak allows low-privileged authenticated users to assume the permissions of a client's service account by submitting an oversized subject_token JWT to the TokenEndpoint. When the token exceeds the 4000-character limit it is silently discarded rather than rejected, causing the server to fall back to client-credentials authentication and grant the attacker the client's service-account scope. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is very low (0.04%), but CVSS rates the issue 8.8 due to full CIA impact post-exploitation.
Local privilege escalation in IBM Netezza Performance Server Replication Services (versions 3.0.2.0 through 3.0.5.0) allows an already-authenticated, low-privileged user on the appliance to gain full root control. By abusing the over-privileged Replication Services component the attacker can execute root-level commands, spawn a root shell, reset the root password, alter or delete system-wide files, and plant persistent backdoors, resulting in complete loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and no EPSS score was supplied in the source data, so the issue currently reflects vendor-reported risk rather than observed exploitation.
Privilege escalation in the WebinarIgnition WordPress plugin (Saleswonder Team: Tobias) affects all versions through 4.08.252 and allows remote attackers to obtain elevated privileges due to incorrect privilege assignment. The CVSS 9.8 rating reflects network-reachable, unauthenticated exploitation with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the EPSS score is very low (0.04%, 13th percentile), indicating no observed exploitation activity despite the critical severity.
Privilege escalation in the miniOrange OTP Verification WordPress plugin (all versions up to and including 5.4.9) lets remote unauthenticated attackers gain elevated privileges due to incorrect privilege assignment (CWE-266). With a CVSS 9.8 vector indicating network reach, no authentication, and no user interaction, a successful attack can fully compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected WordPress site. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
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.
Path traversal in the tmp npm package (versions < 0.2.6) lets callers escape the intended temporary directory by passing traversal sequences or absolute paths in the prefix, postfix, or dir options to tmp.file(), tmp.dir(), or tmp.tmpName(). Applications that forward untrusted input into those options can be coerced into creating files at attacker-chosen filesystem locations with the process's privileges, enabling config poisoning, cache poisoning, or web-shell drops. Publicly available exploit code exists (the advisory ships a working PoC and a regression test), but no public exploit identified at time of analysis indicates active exploitation in the wild.
Privilege escalation and sensitive-data disclosure in Kirby CMS (versions before 4.9.1 and 5.4.1) let authenticated Panel users invoke arbitrary model methods through unvalidated collection-query parameters. By naming internal methods such as password(), root(), loginPasswordless() or delete() in filter/sort/findBy queries or the equivalent REST API search endpoints, a low-privilege Panel user can leak password hashes and server filesystem paths, take over other accounts, or mass-delete content. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is low (0.07%), but the vendor rates real-world impact as high for any site exposing the Panel to untrusted users.
Local privilege escalation in OpenVPN Connect 3.5.1 through 3.8.1 on macOS allows unprivileged local users to execute arbitrary OS commands as root by abusing an exposed local IPC channel to the privileged background service. The flaw carries a CVSS 4.0 score of 9.4 with scope change (SC:H/SI:H/SA:H), and SSVC rates technical impact as total, though there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is only 0.04%.
Privilege escalation in Joomla! CMS versions 4.0.0-5.4.5 and 6.0.0-6.1.0 allows remote attackers to abuse the com_users batch task due to an improper access check (CWE-284). The flaw enables unauthorized modification of user accounts and elevation of privileges across affected installations, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis. EPSS scoring is 0.00% and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, but the CVSSv4 base score of 8.2 reflects high integrity impact.
Local privilege escalation in Genetec RabbitMQ deployments and multiple dependent Genetec products allows a low-privileged local user to gain high-impact control over confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The flaw stems from incorrect permission assignment (CWE-732) in how Genetec deploys RabbitMQ, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis and an EPSS score of 0.01% indicating minimal predicted exploitation activity. The vendor (Genetec) discovered and disclosed the issue and has released fixed versions across the affected product line.
Local privilege escalation in CODESYS Development System versions 3.0.0.0 through 3.5.22.19 allows a low-privileged local attacker to win a TOCTOU race condition during administrative installation, swapping verified installer files for malicious ones before they execute with elevated rights. The flaw stems from insecure default permissions on the temporary extraction directory used by the installer. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS exploitation probability is very low (0.01%, 1st percentile).
Local privilege escalation in CODESYS Development System versions 3.0.0.0 through 3.5.22.20 allows low-privileged users on a Windows host to tamper with a temporary component manifest written during administrative installation, forcing deployment of attacker-chosen components with elevated rights. The flaw stems from insecure default permissions (CWE-276) on a directory used during install and was reported by CERT@VDE. EPSS is 0.01% and SSVC reports no observed exploitation, so this is a high-impact but currently low-prevalence local issue.
Privilege escalation in the StoreApps Smart Manager WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 8.85.0) allows authenticated low-privilege users to elevate themselves to higher-privileged roles due to incorrect privilege assignment (CWE-266). The flaw was reported by Patchstack and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8, though there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is very low at 0.04%. Affected WooCommerce stores running this plugin should treat this as a meaningful internal-risk issue because any subscriber, customer, or shop-manager account could be leveraged to seize administrator control.
Local privilege escalation in Acer NitroSense 3.x before 3.01.3052 allows any authenticated local user to run arbitrary code as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM and delete arbitrary files with SYSTEM rights by abusing a misconfigured Windows Named Pipe that exposes internal functions through a custom protocol. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS exploitation probability is negligible (0.02%), but SSVC rates technical impact as total, making this a high-value local escalation on affected Acer gaming laptops. Authentication requirements per the CVSS 4.0 vector are PR:L, so a low-privileged but authenticated local account is sufficient.
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.
Privilege escalation in the WishList Member WordPress plugin versions up to 3.30.1 allows authenticated low-privilege users to obtain the REST API Secret Key via the unprotected 'export_settings' AJAX endpoint and leverage it to register arbitrary administrator accounts. The CVSS 8.8 (High) rating reflects full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, and while no public exploit is identified at time of analysis, the discovery by Wordfence - a major WordPress security vendor - typically precedes broader exploitation against the large WordPress plugin ecosystem.
Privilege escalation in the Wishlist Member WordPress plugin (versions ≤3.30.1) allows authenticated Subscriber-level users to overwrite the plugin's REST API Secret Key and abuse it to create administrator accounts, leading to full site takeover. The flaw stems from a missing capability check on the generate_api_key hook handler. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though Wordfence has published a threat-intel advisory.
Privilege elevation in Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), specifically affecting Microsoft Global Secure Access (GSA), allows remote unauthenticated attackers to gain elevated privileges over the network. The CVSS 7.5 rating reflects high confidentiality impact with no required authentication or user interaction, though no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis. The vector points to a flaw in how identity or access tokens are evaluated, which is particularly sensitive given Entra ID's role as a primary IAM backbone for Microsoft 365 and Azure tenants.
Privilege escalation in authentik identity provider versions prior to 2025.12.5 and 2026.2.0-rc1 through 2026.2.2 allows an authenticated user holding the change_user permission to assign arbitrary groups - including superuser groups - to any target user via the PATCH /api/v3/core/users/{pk}/ endpoint. The UserSerializer skips the enable_group_superuser check enforced in the dedicated group-management paths, letting delegated user-management roles promote themselves or others to administrator-equivalent privilege. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, but the trivial attack mechanics (a single PATCH request) make weaponization straightforward for any tenant that has delegated user administration.
Stored cross-site scripting in Typebot chatbot builder versions 3.15.2 and prior allows a malicious imported or collaborator-crafted bot to execute arbitrary HTML/JavaScript in the authenticated builder context via the RatingButton component's customIcon.svg field. Because the builder preview renders bots inline on builder.typebot.io under a CSP permitting 'unsafe-inline', successful exploitation enables session hijacking and privilege escalation within the SaaS builder, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation in Go's golang.org/x/net/idna package (all versions before 0.55.0) stems from ToASCII and ToUnicode accepting Punycode labels that decode to an ASCII-only label, so ToUnicode("xn--example-.com") returns "example.com" instead of an error. Applications that perform authorization checks on an ASCII hostname and then convert it to Unicode can be tricked into permitting a name that the direct check would have rejected. This is a library-level flaw (CVSS 9.6, scope-changed) reported by the Go team; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is very low (0.04%, 14th percentile).
Unauthenticated privilege escalation in the Easy Elements for Elementor WordPress plugin through version 1.4.5 allows remote attackers to register administrator accounts by abusing an unchecked custom_meta parameter in the eel_register AJAX handler. The flaw lets attackers overwrite the wp_capabilities user meta after wp_insert_user() has assigned a safe role, granting full site takeover. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the CVSS vector's PR:L appears inconsistent with the description's explicit unauthenticated abuse path.
Privilege escalation in Concrete CMS 9.5.0 and earlier allows authenticated users with access to the bulk user assignment dashboard to add arbitrary accounts to the Administrators group and remove existing admins, effectively hijacking site control. The flaw stems from missing authorization checks in bulk_user_assignment.php and was disclosed with a vendor-assigned CVSS v4.0 score of 7.5. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not present in CISA KEV.
Privilege escalation in LiteLLM proxy versions prior to 1.83.14 allows an authenticated internal_user to elevate to proxy_admin by generating an API key with an attacker-controlled allowed_routes field that grants access to admin-only endpoints. Because the key-generation handler did not verify that the requested routes fell within the caller's own role permissions, the resulting key successfully reaches admin routes and bypasses role-based access control. Publicly available exploit code exists via a Huntr bounty disclosure and gist, and the upstream commits are merged in the v1.83.14-stable release.
Privilege escalation in Fission (Kubernetes serverless framework) versions <= 1.22.0 allows any user able to deploy or update a Function CRD to read every Secret and ConfigMap in the runtime namespace, bypassing the Function.spec.secrets allowlist. The flaw stems from runtime pods running under the namespace-privileged fission-fetcher ServiceAccount whose automounted token is reachable by the user-code container alongside the fetcher sidecar. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the vendor-issued advisory (GHSA-85g2-pmrx-r49q) describes a trivially reachable abuse path once a function can be deployed.
Privilege escalation in samlify (Node.js SAML library) versions prior to 2.13.0 allows authenticated users to inject arbitrary XML markup into signed SAML assertions because template substitution only escapes attribute contexts, not element text. An attacker with a valid account can supply crafted values in user-controlled fields (e.g., email) that close the AttributeValue element and inject additional saml:Attribute elements (such as role=admin), which the IdP then signs and the SP accepts as trusted. No public exploit identified at time of analysis beyond the vendor-published PoC in the GHSA advisory.
Local privilege escalation in Trend Micro Apex One and Apex One as a Service agents allows an attacker with low-privileged code execution to win a race condition in the endpoint protection agent and elevate to higher privileges. The flaw is a time-of-check time-of-use (TOCTOU) weakness (CWE-367) in the Apex One/SEP agent on Windows endpoints, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis and not currently listed in CISA KEV. The vendor has published advisory KA-0023430 with fixed builds.
Local privilege escalation in Trend Micro Apex One and Apex One as a Service allows an authenticated low-privileged user to elevate to higher privileges by abusing an origin validation flaw in one of the agent's process protection communication mechanisms. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the vulnerability is companion to CVE-2026-45206 in a parallel code path, which suggests the underlying class of issue is actively being researched by Trend Micro's own team.
Local privilege escalation in Trend Micro Apex One and Apex One as a Service allows low-privileged attackers to elevate to higher privileges by abusing an origin validation weakness (CWE-346) in one of the agent's process protection communication mechanisms. The flaw is a sibling issue to CVE-2026-45207 affecting a different IPC channel and is reported by Trend Micro itself; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the CVE is not on CISA KEV.
Local privilege escalation in Trend Micro Apex One and Apex One as a Service stems from an origin validation weakness (CWE-346) in one of the agent's process protection mechanisms, allowing a low-privileged local attacker to elevate to SYSTEM-level privileges on affected installations. The flaw was reported by Trend Micro itself and is a sibling issue to CVE-2026-34927, which affects a different process protection mechanism in the same agent. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not currently listed in CISA KEV.
Local privilege escalation in Trend Micro Apex One and Apex One as a Service agents allows an attacker with low-privileged code execution to gain elevated rights by exploiting weak origin validation in an inter-process communication channel. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the flaw is a sibling to CVE-2026-34927 (different IPC mechanism in the same agent) which raises the likelihood of researcher and adversary interest. Vendor patches are available for both the on-prem 2019 (14.0) line and the SaaS offering.
Local privilege escalation in Trend Micro Apex One and Apex One as a Service security agents allows a low-privileged attacker who already has code execution on the endpoint to elevate to higher privileges by abusing a named pipe that fails to validate the origin of incoming connections. The flaw is companion to CVE-2026-34927 (a sibling issue in a different named pipe) and currently has no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but its presence in widely-deployed endpoint security software materially raises post-compromise risk.
Local privilege escalation in Trend Micro Apex One (on-premises 2019/14.0) and Apex One as a Service allows a low-privileged user already executing code on the host to elevate to higher privileges by abusing an origin validation weakness in the security agent. The flaw carries a CVSS 7.8 (local, low complexity) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but because the agent typically runs with SYSTEM-level rights, successful exploitation yields full host compromise. Trend Micro has issued patched builds (KA-0023430).
Privilege escalation in the Divi Form Builder WordPress plugin (versions ≤5.1.2) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to register administrator accounts by submitting a tampered 'role' parameter in the registration POST body. The plugin trusts the client-supplied role value instead of enforcing the form's configured default_user_role, yielding full WordPress site takeover. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the CVSS 9.8 score and trivial exploitability make this a high-priority patch for any site running the plugin with public registration forms.
Privilege escalation to root in the LiteSpeed User-End cPanel Plugin (versions 2.3 through before 2.4.5) lets attackers abuse the plugin's Redis enable/disable functionality (the redisAble cpanel_jsonapi_func) to gain elevated, potentially root-level, access on the cPanel host. This flaw is confirmed actively exploited (CISA KEV) with in-the-wild activity observed in May 2026, publicly available exploit code exists (including a GitHub PoC), and the vendor scores it CVSS 4.0 10.0. Notably, the parent LiteSpeed WHM Plugin is not affected - only the end-user cPanel plugin.
Sensitive-data exposure in Progress MOVEit Automation allows remote attackers to retrieve embedded secrets because the product ships with incorrect default permissions (CWE-276), affecting all versions before 2025.0.11 and the 2025.1.x line before 2025.1.7. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, C:H/I:N/A:N) reflects a pure confidentiality breach with no integrity or availability impact. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS is very low (0.02%, 7th percentile), and CISA SSVC rates exploitation as none and non-automatable, so despite the high CVSS this is not currently a widespread exploitation risk.
Local privilege escalation in Rsync daemon (versions ≤ 3.4.2) is possible via a TOCTOU symlink race when the daemon is configured with 'use chroot = no'. An authenticated local attacker with write access to a module can swap a parent directory component for a symlink between the receiver's path check and its open() call, redirecting writes outside the module and overwriting sensitive files. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the upstream patch in release 3.4.3 and a detailed VulnCheck advisory disclose the precise race window.
Privilege escalation in the Read More & Accordion WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 3.5.7) allows authenticated low-privileged users granted import rights through the plugin's role settings to write arbitrary rows into the wp_users and wp_usermeta tables, effectively creating a new administrator account. The flaw stems from the RadMoreAjax::importData function failing to restrict target database tables and to validate imported data. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the vulnerability was disclosed by Wordfence threat intelligence researchers.
Privilege escalation in the BeycanPress Account Switcher WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 1.0.2) allows authenticated Subscriber-level users to hijack any account, including Administrator, by abusing a loose PHP comparison in the rememberLogin REST endpoint. No public exploit is identified at the time of analysis, but the issue is trivially reproducible from the disclosed root cause and the plugin source on WordPress.org is publicly indexable.
Privilege escalation in the Easy Elements for Elementor WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 1.4.4) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to register accounts with the 'administrator' role, granting full site takeover. The flaw exists in the 'easyel_handle_register' function which fails to validate or restrict the user role parameter submitted during registration. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the trivial nature of the bug and Wordfence's disclosure make weaponization straightforward.
Local privilege escalation in haveged (HArdware Volatile Entropy Gathering and Expansion Daemon) allows authenticated low-privileged users to escalate to root via the daemon's command socket, which is affected by missing authentication for a critical function (CWE-305). The flaw was disclosed on the oss-security mailing list on 2026-05-20 by Jiri Hladky, with vendor patches available from SUSE and tracking in Debian (bug#1137096); no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation in CtrlPanel hosting billing software (versions ≤1.1.1) allows any authenticated low-privilege user to invoke admin write endpoints because store()/update() controller methods omit the RBAC permission checks present on their corresponding form-display methods. Successful exploitation yields effective admin control over API credentials, coupons, vouchers, partner commissions, shop pricing, server ownership, and user accounts (including roles, credits, passwords, and Pterodactyl linkages). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
Local privilege escalation in Broadcom Automic Automation Agent versions prior to 24.4.4 HF1 allows authenticated low-privileged users on Unix-family systems (Linux x64, Linux Power 64 BE/LE, zLinux, AIX, Solaris x64, Solaris Sparc 64) to abuse the agent's elevated privileges and target programs running with higher rights. The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.5 reflects high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact achievable from a local foothold, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Cross-tenant DNS and TLS poisoning in Windmill versions prior to 1.703.2 allows authenticated low-privilege users to write to /etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf, and the system CA bundle from inside nsjail script sandboxes, persisting tampered state across every subsequent job on the same worker pod. Because poisoned entries survive between executions, attackers can hijack hostname resolution, perform transparent HTTPS man-in-the-middle, and steal WM_TOKEN JWTs to escalate to workspace-admin in other tenants. Publicly available exploit code exists per SSVC (poc), and CVSS 4.0 rates this 8.6 with high confidentiality and integrity impact.
Stored cross-site scripting in Argo CD lets a low-privileged developer escalate to admin by planting a malicious `link.argocd.argoproj.io/*` annotation on any Application; the value is rendered as an unvalidated `<a href>` in the Summary tab's URLs section, so a `javascript:` payload hidden behind a benign 'GitHub Repo' label executes in the admin's authenticated same-origin session when clicked. A detailed public exploit exists (PoC in the vendor advisory demonstrating session exfiltration via Burp Collaborator), though EPSS is very low (0.04%) and there is no public exploit identified as actively used; this is a CVSS 8.7 authenticated, user-interaction-dependent issue affecting Argo CD v2.x, v3.2.x, v3.3.x and v3.4.x. An attacker with `applications` write access can capture the admin's session data and drive Argo CD APIs as admin.
Privilege escalation in Mozilla Firefox's WebRTC Audio/Video component allows remote attackers to elevate privileges within the browser context when a user is lured into interacting with a malicious page. The flaw carries a CVSS 8.8 with required user interaction and was addressed in Firefox 151; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS exploitation probability sits at 0.03% (8th percentile).
Privilege escalation in Mozilla Firefox's Security component allows remote attackers to elevate privileges within the browser when a victim interacts with attacker-controlled content, affecting Firefox versions prior to 151 and Firefox ESR prior to 140.11. With CVSS 8.8 (high) and user interaction required, exploitation is plausible via malicious web content, though EPSS sits at just 0.04% (12th percentile) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. SSVC rates exploitation as 'none' but flags the issue as automatable with partial technical impact, suggesting concerning scalability if a working exploit emerges.
Privilege escalation in the Enterprise Policies component of Mozilla Firefox affects versions prior to Firefox 151 and Firefox ESR 140.11, allowing remote attackers who can convince a user to interact with crafted content to elevate privileges within the browser. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS scoring places exploitation probability at just 0.03% (9th percentile). The vulnerability requires user interaction per the CVSS vector, which somewhat constrains real-world weaponization despite the high 8.8 CVSS score.
Privilege escalation in Mozilla Firefox's DOM Workers component allows remote attackers to elevate privileges within the browser when a victim interacts with a malicious web page. Affects Firefox versions prior to 151 and Firefox ESR prior to 140.11, with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS rates exploitation probability at only 0.03% (9th percentile).
Privilege escalation in Mozilla Firefox via the Application Update component allows remote attackers to gain elevated privileges when a user interacts with malicious content, fixed in Firefox 151. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R) and is categorized under CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management). There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS estimates only a 0.03% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Local privilege escalation in Mullvad VPN for macOS versions 2026.1 and earlier allows a user in the admin group to gain root code execution during installation or upgrade. The installer's preinstall script executes binaries from /Applications/Mullvad VPN.app without verifying the bundle's integrity, enabling an admin-group attacker to pre-stage a malicious app bundle that runs as root. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the flaw is only triggerable when an installer is run, not on already-installed systems.
Privilege escalation in the AIWU (AI Copilot Content Generator) WordPress plugin by Sergey, affecting all versions up to and including 1.4.17, allows remote unauthenticated attackers to gain elevated privileges on a target WordPress site. The CVSS 9.8 score with AV:N/PR:N indicates no authentication is required and the attack can be carried out over the network against any site running a vulnerable installation. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the Patchstack reference indicates this was identified through their managed audit program for WordPress plugins.
Privilege escalation in the Contest Gallery Pro WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 29.0.1) allows remote unauthenticated attackers to gain elevated privileges within affected WordPress sites due to incorrect privilege assignment (CWE-266). The CVSS 9.8 score combined with network-reachable, no-authentication exploitation makes this a critical-severity issue, though no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The vulnerability was disclosed by Patchstack's audit team and currently has no entry in CISA KEV.
Arbitrary workspace deletion in praisonai-platform allows any workspace member to permanently destroy the entire workspace, including all projects, issues, agents, and member records, via a single DELETE request. The endpoint only checks for workspace membership (default min_role='member') instead of requiring owner privileges, leaving no confirmation or recovery path. The vulnerability requires low‑privilege authentication (any member token) and carries a CVSS 8.1 score with high integrity and availability impact.
Privilege escalation in praisonai-platform allows any workspace member to inject arbitrary users as owners with a single POST request. This grants full workspace control, bypassing all owner‑gated operations. Versions before 0.1.4 are affected; a vendor fix is available, but no active exploitation has been publicly confirmed.
Privilege escalation in Apache ActiveMQ versions before 5.19.7 and 6.0.0 through 6.2.5 allows authenticated low-privilege web-login users to invoke administrative Jolokia operations such as addQueue and removeQueue due to overly permissive default authorization settings. The CVSS 8.8 score reflects high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, though EPSS exploitation probability sits at just 0.01% and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The flaw effectively collapses the broker's privilege boundary between normal web users and administrators.
Local privilege escalation in MediaTek GenieZone (trusted execution environment) allows an attacker who has already gained System-level privileges on an affected device to write out-of-bounds memory and escalate further on the chipset. The flaw affects a broad range of MediaTek chipsets used in mobile and embedded devices, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis. CVSS is 7.8 (High) reflecting the high integrity, confidentiality, and availability impact despite the local attack vector.
Remote code execution in the Spectra Gutenberg Blocks WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 2.19.25) allows authenticated users with Contributor-level access or higher to execute arbitrary PHP on the server by abusing the plugin's block rendering logic. The flaw stems from the plugin trusting attacker-controlled block attributes to register a fake uagb/-prefixed block type with an arbitrary render_callback, which is then invoked via call_user_func() when a second block of the same type is rendered in the same request. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the low privilege bar (Contributor is commonly granted to untrusted guest authors) makes this a high-priority issue for sites with open registration.
Vertical privilege escalation in praisonai-platform allows any workspace member to set their role to owner via a single PATCH request to the members endpoint, granting full administrative control over the workspace. Affected versions include all releases prior to 0.1.4. No active exploitation has been observed, and the EPSS score of 0.03% indicates low likelihood of widespread attacks; a vendor patch is available in version 0.1.4.
Authorization bypass in praisonai-platform's workspace member removal endpoint allows any workspace member to delete any other member, including the owner. An attacker with a low-privilege member token can permanently lock the legitimate owner out of their workspace, leading to a complete denial of service and, when combined with other flawed endpoints, full workspace takeover. Patched in version 0.1.4.
Vertical privilege escalation in PraisonAI Platform versions 0.1.2 and earlier allows any authenticated low-privilege workspace member to self-promote to owner and take over the workspace. The flaw stems from administrative FastAPI routes reusing a shared authorization dependency that defaults to the lowest 'member' role, so role-mutation endpoints never enforce admin/owner checks. A working PoC is published in the GHSA-h37g-4h4p-9x97 advisory, though no public exploit identified at time of analysis in mass-exploitation form, and the issue is not currently in CISA KEV.
Cross-tenant IDOR and role-enforcement failure in PraisonAI Platform (praisonai-platform <= 0.1.2) let any registered user read, modify, or delete agents, issues, projects, labels, comments, and dependencies belonging to any other workspace, and let a basic member promote itself to admin/owner, evict the owner, and delete workspaces. The FastAPI `require_workspace_member` dependency validates only the URL-prefix workspace while service lookups fetch inner resources by primary key alone, so an attacker supplies their own workspace_id in the prefix and a victim's resource_id in the path. A detailed working proof-of-concept (curl-based, eight steps) is published in the vendor advisory; there is no evidence of active in-the-wild exploitation, and EPSS is low at 0.04%.
Cross-workspace IDOR and member-to-owner privilege escalation in PraisonAI Platform API (pip package praisonai-platform <= 0.1.2) lets any authenticated user read, modify, and delete issues and projects belonging to other tenants, and lets any workspace member promote themselves to owner and evict the legitimate owner. The two flaws chain together: a single member-level invite to any workspace becomes platform-wide data access plus full takeover of any workspace the attacker is added to. No public exploit identified at time of analysis beyond the detailed PoC published in the GHSA advisory, and the issue is not in CISA KEV.
Authentication bypass in NI SystemLink Enterprise Dashboard (versions 2026-04 and prior) allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to send a crafted HTTP request that circumvents authentication controls, leading to privilege escalation or disclosure of sensitive information. The flaw carries a CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.3 and is network-reachable with low attack complexity and no user interaction. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not currently listed in CISA KEV.
Privilege escalation in Shopper headless e-commerce admin panel prior to version 2.8.0 allows any low-privilege authenticated panel user to seize full administrator control by chaining two distinct broken-authorization defects in the team settings module. By combining an unprotected Settings/Team/Index mount with a RolePermission write path that only checks the read-only view_users permission, an attacker can mint new roles, grant themselves manage_users and edit_orders, and delete legitimate administrators. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the bugs are straightforward to weaponize once panel credentials are obtained.
Local privilege escalation in Plesk's APS Application Catalog allows an authenticated low-privileged user to execute arbitrary operating system commands by injecting malicious XPath syntax into the catalog search functionality. The flaw carries a critical CVSS 3.1 score of 9.9 due to scope change and full CIA impact, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The advisory was disclosed via HackerOne and acknowledged in a Plesk support article, but EPSS and KEV signals are not provided in the available intelligence.
Privilege escalation in Froxlor 2.3.6 allows an authenticated customer with shell access to gain root SSH on the managed host by exploiting a symlink-following flaw in the root-owned SSH key synchronization cron. By replacing the customer's `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` with a symlink to `/root/.ssh/authorized_keys` before the privileged sync runs, attacker-supplied keys are appended to root's authorized_keys. No public exploit identified at time of analysis beyond the detailed PoC in the GHSA advisory, and the issue is fixed in Froxlor 2.3.7.
Privilege escalation in RustFS distributed object storage before 1.0.0-beta.2 lets a low-privileged user holding ImportIAMAction abuse the PUT /rustfs/admin/v3/import-iam endpoint to mint service accounts under arbitrary parent identities - including the root minioadmin user - granting full administrative control via attacker-chosen, persistent credentials. CVSS 4.0 scores this 9.3 (Critical) reflecting low attack complexity, low privileges, and high confidentiality/integrity impact with scope change. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and no EPSS or KEV signal is provided.
Remote unauthenticated privilege escalation in the WP Maps Pro WordPress plugin (all versions through 6.1.0) allows attackers to create a new administrator account and authenticate as that user, resulting in complete site takeover. The flaw stems from an AJAX handler exposed to unauthenticated users and protected only by a publicly-embedded nonce, making the access check ineffective. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the trivial nature of the bug (default-enabled handler, no authentication, magic login URL returned to the caller) makes weaponization straightforward once details circulate.
Privilege escalation in the Drupal SAML SSO - Service Provider contributed module (versions prior to 3.1.4) allows remote unauthenticated attackers to gain elevated privileges by exploiting improper handling of exceptional conditions during SAML authentication flows. The CVSS 7.4 (High) score reflects high attack complexity but network reachability and no authentication requirement, with confidentiality and integrity impact. EPSS probability is very low (0.02%, 5th percentile) and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Authenticated arbitrary file read in Arcane (Docker management UI) versions ≤ 1.19.3 allows any low-privileged user to read any file accessible to the backend process by abusing Docker Compose `include:` directives. Because `CreateProject` skips include-path validation that `UpdateProject` enforces, an attacker can register a project whose compose file points at `/etc/passwd` or `/app/data/arcane.db`, then fetch the contents via the project file API - yielding stored password hashes and API keys for all users, enabling admin takeover and host RCE through Arcane's Docker control plane. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; vendor patch is available in 1.19.4.
Unauthenticated privilege escalation in the Advanced Custom Fields: Extended (ACFE) WordPress plugin through version 0.9.2.5 allows remote attackers to create new administrator-level accounts on vulnerable sites. The flaw stems from the after_validate_save_post() function trusting an attacker-controlled POST parameter to bypass role allow-list and capability validation when a public ACFE frontend form with a Create User action is exposed. With a CVSS 9.8 and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, the vulnerability presents a direct site-takeover path on affected configurations.
Remote code execution in Google Chrome on macOS prior to version 148.0.7778.216 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code within the renderer sandbox by enticing a victim to visit a crafted HTML page that triggers an inappropriate implementation flaw in the ANGLE graphics layer. The issue is rated High by Chromium and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8 with user interaction required; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is low at 0.04%.
Sandbox escape in Google Chrome versions prior to 148.0.7778.216 allows a remote attacker to break out of the renderer sandbox via a crafted HTML page that triggers an inappropriate implementation flaw in the Tint graphics component. The issue carries a CVSS 9.6 (scope-changed) rating reflecting cross-boundary impact, requires user interaction (visiting a malicious page), and is rated High severity by Chromium; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is low at 0.03%.
Sandbox escape in Google Chrome on Android prior to 148.0.7778.216 allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to break out of the browser sandbox via a crafted HTML page exploiting an inappropriate implementation in the Skia graphics library. Chromium rates the underlying issue as Critical severity, though no public exploit is identified at time of analysis and EPSS is very low at 0.03%. This is a chain-stage bug - exploitation requires a pre-existing renderer compromise, making it valuable as the second link in a full Android browser exploit chain rather than a standalone vector.
Full product takeover of Oracle Flow Manufacturing (versions 12.2.9 through 12.2.15) is achievable by a low-privileged remote attacker via SQL-based network access, per Oracle's advisory. The flaw scores CVSS 8.8 with high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis. As a component of Oracle E-Business Suite, exploitation provides an attacker with control over a business-critical manufacturing execution system.
Account takeover in Oracle Payroll (Self Service Manager component) of Oracle E-Business Suite versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 allows a low-privileged authenticated attacker to fully compromise the Payroll module over HTTP. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8 reflects high impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and Oracle has issued a fix in the May 2026 Critical Patch Update. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Account takeover in Oracle Universal Work Queue (component: Work Provider Site Level Administration) within Oracle E-Business Suite versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 allows low-privileged remote attackers over HTTP to fully compromise the product with confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. The CVSS 9.9 score reflects a scope-changing flaw whose blast radius extends to other Oracle E-Business Suite products beyond Universal Work Queue itself. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity and minimal privilege requirement make this a high-priority Oracle Critical Patch Update item.
Remote takeover of Oracle Payments in Oracle E-Business Suite versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15 is possible via the File Transmission component, allowing unauthenticated network-based attackers to fully compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CVSS 9.8). The flaw is described by Oracle as easily exploitable over HTTP with no user interaction, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Tagged as Information Disclosure and listed in Oracle's May 2026 Critical Patch Update advisory.
Privilege escalation in Portainer Community Edition stems from permissive default endpoint security settings that grant non-admin users with endpoint access the ability to create containers with bind mounts, privileged mode, host namespaces, device mappings, sysctl settings, and Linux capabilities. An authenticated low-privilege user can leverage these defaults to read arbitrary host files or break out of the container boundary to achieve root-equivalent code execution on the Docker host. Publicly available exploit code exists per CVSS v4.0 threat metrics (E:P), but the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
Cross-organization token exchange in Casdoor versions 2.362.0 and earlier allows remote unauthenticated attackers to escalate privileges across organizational boundaries by exploiting incomplete JWT validation in the GetTokenExchangeToken function. While the signature is verified, the absence of an organization-scope check lets a valid token issued for one tenant be exchanged for tokens against applications belonging to a different tenant, breaking the multi-tenant trust model. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS remains very low (0.02%) despite a CVSS of 9.8.
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.
Local privilege escalation in Canonical Multipass for macOS before 1.16.3 allows a low-privileged local user to obtain root execution by replacing co-located auxiliary binaries that the multipassd LaunchDaemon invokes via a user-writable PATH directory. The flaw is an incomplete remediation of CVE-2025-5199: while 1.16.0 corrected ownership of the multipassd binary itself, five sibling binaries (multipass, qemu-img, qemu-system-aarch64, qemu-system-x86_64, sshfs_server) were left owned by the installing user and writable, enabling binary planting. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not currently listed in CISA KEV.
Privilege escalation in phpMyFAQ before 4.1.3 allows any authenticated low-privilege administrator to take over SuperAdmin (userId=1) or any other account by manipulating the userId parameter in the /admin/api/user/overwrite-password PUT request. The flaw is an insecure direct object reference (IDOR) in the Admin API where authorization checks confirm only that the caller holds the generic USER_EDIT permission, never that the caller is authorized to manage the targeted account. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the GHSA advisory from the vendor (thorsten) publicly documents the exact vulnerable code path, making weaponization trivial.
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.
Local privilege escalation in Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows enables a low-privileged authenticated user to escalate to higher privileges on the host, with the CWE-532 mapping indicating sensitive information is exposed via log files that the attacker can read or abuse. CVSS 4.0 base score is 7.3 with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the vulnerable component, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The flaw is tied to the broader Veeam Backup and Replication 13 ecosystem (≤13.0.1 per ENISA EUVD), making it relevant on any Windows endpoint where the Veeam Agent is deployed alongside or as part of that platform.
Privilege escalation in Keycloak's Fine-Grained Admin Permissions v2 (FGAPv2) allows an administrator with only limited client-management rights to attach arbitrary realm roles - including highly privileged ones - to a client's scope mappings, causing those roles to be injected into user authentication tokens that traverse the modified client. The flaw affects the Red Hat Build of Keycloak per the vendor advisory and has no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the high-privilege admin pivot makes it operationally significant in multi-tenant identity deployments.
Local privilege escalation in Acer NitroSense software versions prior to 3.01.3052 allows any authenticated local user to delete arbitrary files with SYSTEM authority by abusing a weakly-ACL'd Named Pipe exposed by the PSAdminAgent service. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but the issue was disclosed by Acer themselves and a patched version is available.
Privilege escalation in Budibase before 3.39.0 lets a workspace-scoped builder promote themselves or any other user to global administrator with a single POST to /api/public/v1/roles/assign. The builderOrAdmin middleware admits app-level builders (builder.apps set, builder.global unset) and the controller blindly spreads the request body into the SDK, allowing the caller to set builder.global=true or admin.global=true on arbitrary user IDs. The flaw turns a tenant-confined Enterprise feature into full tenant-wide takeover; no public exploit is identified at time of analysis, but the technique is fully described in the GitHub advisory.
Privilege escalation in Red Hat Build of Keycloak allows low-privileged authenticated users to assume the permissions of a client's service account by submitting an oversized subject_token JWT to the TokenEndpoint. When the token exceeds the 4000-character limit it is silently discarded rather than rejected, causing the server to fall back to client-credentials authentication and grant the attacker the client's service-account scope. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is very low (0.04%), but CVSS rates the issue 8.8 due to full CIA impact post-exploitation.
Local privilege escalation in IBM Netezza Performance Server Replication Services (versions 3.0.2.0 through 3.0.5.0) allows an already-authenticated, low-privileged user on the appliance to gain full root control. By abusing the over-privileged Replication Services component the attacker can execute root-level commands, spawn a root shell, reset the root password, alter or delete system-wide files, and plant persistent backdoors, resulting in complete loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and no EPSS score was supplied in the source data, so the issue currently reflects vendor-reported risk rather than observed exploitation.
Privilege escalation in the WebinarIgnition WordPress plugin (Saleswonder Team: Tobias) affects all versions through 4.08.252 and allows remote attackers to obtain elevated privileges due to incorrect privilege assignment. The CVSS 9.8 rating reflects network-reachable, unauthenticated exploitation with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the EPSS score is very low (0.04%, 13th percentile), indicating no observed exploitation activity despite the critical severity.
Privilege escalation in the miniOrange OTP Verification WordPress plugin (all versions up to and including 5.4.9) lets remote unauthenticated attackers gain elevated privileges due to incorrect privilege assignment (CWE-266). With a CVSS 9.8 vector indicating network reach, no authentication, and no user interaction, a successful attack can fully compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected WordPress site. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
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.
Path traversal in the tmp npm package (versions < 0.2.6) lets callers escape the intended temporary directory by passing traversal sequences or absolute paths in the prefix, postfix, or dir options to tmp.file(), tmp.dir(), or tmp.tmpName(). Applications that forward untrusted input into those options can be coerced into creating files at attacker-chosen filesystem locations with the process's privileges, enabling config poisoning, cache poisoning, or web-shell drops. Publicly available exploit code exists (the advisory ships a working PoC and a regression test), but no public exploit identified at time of analysis indicates active exploitation in the wild.
Privilege escalation and sensitive-data disclosure in Kirby CMS (versions before 4.9.1 and 5.4.1) let authenticated Panel users invoke arbitrary model methods through unvalidated collection-query parameters. By naming internal methods such as password(), root(), loginPasswordless() or delete() in filter/sort/findBy queries or the equivalent REST API search endpoints, a low-privilege Panel user can leak password hashes and server filesystem paths, take over other accounts, or mass-delete content. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is low (0.07%), but the vendor rates real-world impact as high for any site exposing the Panel to untrusted users.
Local privilege escalation in OpenVPN Connect 3.5.1 through 3.8.1 on macOS allows unprivileged local users to execute arbitrary OS commands as root by abusing an exposed local IPC channel to the privileged background service. The flaw carries a CVSS 4.0 score of 9.4 with scope change (SC:H/SI:H/SA:H), and SSVC rates technical impact as total, though there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is only 0.04%.
Privilege escalation in Joomla! CMS versions 4.0.0-5.4.5 and 6.0.0-6.1.0 allows remote attackers to abuse the com_users batch task due to an improper access check (CWE-284). The flaw enables unauthorized modification of user accounts and elevation of privileges across affected installations, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis. EPSS scoring is 0.00% and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, but the CVSSv4 base score of 8.2 reflects high integrity impact.
Local privilege escalation in Genetec RabbitMQ deployments and multiple dependent Genetec products allows a low-privileged local user to gain high-impact control over confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The flaw stems from incorrect permission assignment (CWE-732) in how Genetec deploys RabbitMQ, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis and an EPSS score of 0.01% indicating minimal predicted exploitation activity. The vendor (Genetec) discovered and disclosed the issue and has released fixed versions across the affected product line.
Local privilege escalation in CODESYS Development System versions 3.0.0.0 through 3.5.22.19 allows a low-privileged local attacker to win a TOCTOU race condition during administrative installation, swapping verified installer files for malicious ones before they execute with elevated rights. The flaw stems from insecure default permissions on the temporary extraction directory used by the installer. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS exploitation probability is very low (0.01%, 1st percentile).
Local privilege escalation in CODESYS Development System versions 3.0.0.0 through 3.5.22.20 allows low-privileged users on a Windows host to tamper with a temporary component manifest written during administrative installation, forcing deployment of attacker-chosen components with elevated rights. The flaw stems from insecure default permissions (CWE-276) on a directory used during install and was reported by CERT@VDE. EPSS is 0.01% and SSVC reports no observed exploitation, so this is a high-impact but currently low-prevalence local issue.
Privilege escalation in the StoreApps Smart Manager WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 8.85.0) allows authenticated low-privilege users to elevate themselves to higher-privileged roles due to incorrect privilege assignment (CWE-266). The flaw was reported by Patchstack and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8, though there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is very low at 0.04%. Affected WooCommerce stores running this plugin should treat this as a meaningful internal-risk issue because any subscriber, customer, or shop-manager account could be leveraged to seize administrator control.
Local privilege escalation in Acer NitroSense 3.x before 3.01.3052 allows any authenticated local user to run arbitrary code as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM and delete arbitrary files with SYSTEM rights by abusing a misconfigured Windows Named Pipe that exposes internal functions through a custom protocol. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS exploitation probability is negligible (0.02%), but SSVC rates technical impact as total, making this a high-value local escalation on affected Acer gaming laptops. Authentication requirements per the CVSS 4.0 vector are PR:L, so a low-privileged but authenticated local account is sufficient.
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.
Privilege escalation in the WishList Member WordPress plugin versions up to 3.30.1 allows authenticated low-privilege users to obtain the REST API Secret Key via the unprotected 'export_settings' AJAX endpoint and leverage it to register arbitrary administrator accounts. The CVSS 8.8 (High) rating reflects full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, and while no public exploit is identified at time of analysis, the discovery by Wordfence - a major WordPress security vendor - typically precedes broader exploitation against the large WordPress plugin ecosystem.
Privilege escalation in the Wishlist Member WordPress plugin (versions ≤3.30.1) allows authenticated Subscriber-level users to overwrite the plugin's REST API Secret Key and abuse it to create administrator accounts, leading to full site takeover. The flaw stems from a missing capability check on the generate_api_key hook handler. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though Wordfence has published a threat-intel advisory.
Privilege elevation in Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), specifically affecting Microsoft Global Secure Access (GSA), allows remote unauthenticated attackers to gain elevated privileges over the network. The CVSS 7.5 rating reflects high confidentiality impact with no required authentication or user interaction, though no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis. The vector points to a flaw in how identity or access tokens are evaluated, which is particularly sensitive given Entra ID's role as a primary IAM backbone for Microsoft 365 and Azure tenants.
Privilege escalation in authentik identity provider versions prior to 2025.12.5 and 2026.2.0-rc1 through 2026.2.2 allows an authenticated user holding the change_user permission to assign arbitrary groups - including superuser groups - to any target user via the PATCH /api/v3/core/users/{pk}/ endpoint. The UserSerializer skips the enable_group_superuser check enforced in the dedicated group-management paths, letting delegated user-management roles promote themselves or others to administrator-equivalent privilege. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, but the trivial attack mechanics (a single PATCH request) make weaponization straightforward for any tenant that has delegated user administration.
Stored cross-site scripting in Typebot chatbot builder versions 3.15.2 and prior allows a malicious imported or collaborator-crafted bot to execute arbitrary HTML/JavaScript in the authenticated builder context via the RatingButton component's customIcon.svg field. Because the builder preview renders bots inline on builder.typebot.io under a CSP permitting 'unsafe-inline', successful exploitation enables session hijacking and privilege escalation within the SaaS builder, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation in Go's golang.org/x/net/idna package (all versions before 0.55.0) stems from ToASCII and ToUnicode accepting Punycode labels that decode to an ASCII-only label, so ToUnicode("xn--example-.com") returns "example.com" instead of an error. Applications that perform authorization checks on an ASCII hostname and then convert it to Unicode can be tricked into permitting a name that the direct check would have rejected. This is a library-level flaw (CVSS 9.6, scope-changed) reported by the Go team; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is very low (0.04%, 14th percentile).
Unauthenticated privilege escalation in the Easy Elements for Elementor WordPress plugin through version 1.4.5 allows remote attackers to register administrator accounts by abusing an unchecked custom_meta parameter in the eel_register AJAX handler. The flaw lets attackers overwrite the wp_capabilities user meta after wp_insert_user() has assigned a safe role, granting full site takeover. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the CVSS vector's PR:L appears inconsistent with the description's explicit unauthenticated abuse path.
Privilege escalation in Concrete CMS 9.5.0 and earlier allows authenticated users with access to the bulk user assignment dashboard to add arbitrary accounts to the Administrators group and remove existing admins, effectively hijacking site control. The flaw stems from missing authorization checks in bulk_user_assignment.php and was disclosed with a vendor-assigned CVSS v4.0 score of 7.5. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not present in CISA KEV.
Privilege escalation in LiteLLM proxy versions prior to 1.83.14 allows an authenticated internal_user to elevate to proxy_admin by generating an API key with an attacker-controlled allowed_routes field that grants access to admin-only endpoints. Because the key-generation handler did not verify that the requested routes fell within the caller's own role permissions, the resulting key successfully reaches admin routes and bypasses role-based access control. Publicly available exploit code exists via a Huntr bounty disclosure and gist, and the upstream commits are merged in the v1.83.14-stable release.
Privilege escalation in Fission (Kubernetes serverless framework) versions <= 1.22.0 allows any user able to deploy or update a Function CRD to read every Secret and ConfigMap in the runtime namespace, bypassing the Function.spec.secrets allowlist. The flaw stems from runtime pods running under the namespace-privileged fission-fetcher ServiceAccount whose automounted token is reachable by the user-code container alongside the fetcher sidecar. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the vendor-issued advisory (GHSA-85g2-pmrx-r49q) describes a trivially reachable abuse path once a function can be deployed.
Privilege escalation in samlify (Node.js SAML library) versions prior to 2.13.0 allows authenticated users to inject arbitrary XML markup into signed SAML assertions because template substitution only escapes attribute contexts, not element text. An attacker with a valid account can supply crafted values in user-controlled fields (e.g., email) that close the AttributeValue element and inject additional saml:Attribute elements (such as role=admin), which the IdP then signs and the SP accepts as trusted. No public exploit identified at time of analysis beyond the vendor-published PoC in the GHSA advisory.
Local privilege escalation in Trend Micro Apex One and Apex One as a Service agents allows an attacker with low-privileged code execution to win a race condition in the endpoint protection agent and elevate to higher privileges. The flaw is a time-of-check time-of-use (TOCTOU) weakness (CWE-367) in the Apex One/SEP agent on Windows endpoints, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis and not currently listed in CISA KEV. The vendor has published advisory KA-0023430 with fixed builds.
Local privilege escalation in Trend Micro Apex One and Apex One as a Service allows an authenticated low-privileged user to elevate to higher privileges by abusing an origin validation flaw in one of the agent's process protection communication mechanisms. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the vulnerability is companion to CVE-2026-45206 in a parallel code path, which suggests the underlying class of issue is actively being researched by Trend Micro's own team.
Local privilege escalation in Trend Micro Apex One and Apex One as a Service allows low-privileged attackers to elevate to higher privileges by abusing an origin validation weakness (CWE-346) in one of the agent's process protection communication mechanisms. The flaw is a sibling issue to CVE-2026-45207 affecting a different IPC channel and is reported by Trend Micro itself; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the CVE is not on CISA KEV.
Local privilege escalation in Trend Micro Apex One and Apex One as a Service stems from an origin validation weakness (CWE-346) in one of the agent's process protection mechanisms, allowing a low-privileged local attacker to elevate to SYSTEM-level privileges on affected installations. The flaw was reported by Trend Micro itself and is a sibling issue to CVE-2026-34927, which affects a different process protection mechanism in the same agent. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not currently listed in CISA KEV.
Local privilege escalation in Trend Micro Apex One and Apex One as a Service agents allows an attacker with low-privileged code execution to gain elevated rights by exploiting weak origin validation in an inter-process communication channel. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the flaw is a sibling to CVE-2026-34927 (different IPC mechanism in the same agent) which raises the likelihood of researcher and adversary interest. Vendor patches are available for both the on-prem 2019 (14.0) line and the SaaS offering.
Local privilege escalation in Trend Micro Apex One and Apex One as a Service security agents allows a low-privileged attacker who already has code execution on the endpoint to elevate to higher privileges by abusing a named pipe that fails to validate the origin of incoming connections. The flaw is companion to CVE-2026-34927 (a sibling issue in a different named pipe) and currently has no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but its presence in widely-deployed endpoint security software materially raises post-compromise risk.
Local privilege escalation in Trend Micro Apex One (on-premises 2019/14.0) and Apex One as a Service allows a low-privileged user already executing code on the host to elevate to higher privileges by abusing an origin validation weakness in the security agent. The flaw carries a CVSS 7.8 (local, low complexity) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but because the agent typically runs with SYSTEM-level rights, successful exploitation yields full host compromise. Trend Micro has issued patched builds (KA-0023430).
Privilege escalation in the Divi Form Builder WordPress plugin (versions ≤5.1.2) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to register administrator accounts by submitting a tampered 'role' parameter in the registration POST body. The plugin trusts the client-supplied role value instead of enforcing the form's configured default_user_role, yielding full WordPress site takeover. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the CVSS 9.8 score and trivial exploitability make this a high-priority patch for any site running the plugin with public registration forms.
Privilege escalation to root in the LiteSpeed User-End cPanel Plugin (versions 2.3 through before 2.4.5) lets attackers abuse the plugin's Redis enable/disable functionality (the redisAble cpanel_jsonapi_func) to gain elevated, potentially root-level, access on the cPanel host. This flaw is confirmed actively exploited (CISA KEV) with in-the-wild activity observed in May 2026, publicly available exploit code exists (including a GitHub PoC), and the vendor scores it CVSS 4.0 10.0. Notably, the parent LiteSpeed WHM Plugin is not affected - only the end-user cPanel plugin.
Sensitive-data exposure in Progress MOVEit Automation allows remote attackers to retrieve embedded secrets because the product ships with incorrect default permissions (CWE-276), affecting all versions before 2025.0.11 and the 2025.1.x line before 2025.1.7. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, C:H/I:N/A:N) reflects a pure confidentiality breach with no integrity or availability impact. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS is very low (0.02%, 7th percentile), and CISA SSVC rates exploitation as none and non-automatable, so despite the high CVSS this is not currently a widespread exploitation risk.
Local privilege escalation in Rsync daemon (versions ≤ 3.4.2) is possible via a TOCTOU symlink race when the daemon is configured with 'use chroot = no'. An authenticated local attacker with write access to a module can swap a parent directory component for a symlink between the receiver's path check and its open() call, redirecting writes outside the module and overwriting sensitive files. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the upstream patch in release 3.4.3 and a detailed VulnCheck advisory disclose the precise race window.
Privilege escalation in the Read More & Accordion WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 3.5.7) allows authenticated low-privileged users granted import rights through the plugin's role settings to write arbitrary rows into the wp_users and wp_usermeta tables, effectively creating a new administrator account. The flaw stems from the RadMoreAjax::importData function failing to restrict target database tables and to validate imported data. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the vulnerability was disclosed by Wordfence threat intelligence researchers.
Privilege escalation in the BeycanPress Account Switcher WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 1.0.2) allows authenticated Subscriber-level users to hijack any account, including Administrator, by abusing a loose PHP comparison in the rememberLogin REST endpoint. No public exploit is identified at the time of analysis, but the issue is trivially reproducible from the disclosed root cause and the plugin source on WordPress.org is publicly indexable.
Privilege escalation in the Easy Elements for Elementor WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 1.4.4) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to register accounts with the 'administrator' role, granting full site takeover. The flaw exists in the 'easyel_handle_register' function which fails to validate or restrict the user role parameter submitted during registration. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the trivial nature of the bug and Wordfence's disclosure make weaponization straightforward.
Local privilege escalation in haveged (HArdware Volatile Entropy Gathering and Expansion Daemon) allows authenticated low-privileged users to escalate to root via the daemon's command socket, which is affected by missing authentication for a critical function (CWE-305). The flaw was disclosed on the oss-security mailing list on 2026-05-20 by Jiri Hladky, with vendor patches available from SUSE and tracking in Debian (bug#1137096); no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation in CtrlPanel hosting billing software (versions ≤1.1.1) allows any authenticated low-privilege user to invoke admin write endpoints because store()/update() controller methods omit the RBAC permission checks present on their corresponding form-display methods. Successful exploitation yields effective admin control over API credentials, coupons, vouchers, partner commissions, shop pricing, server ownership, and user accounts (including roles, credits, passwords, and Pterodactyl linkages). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
Local privilege escalation in Broadcom Automic Automation Agent versions prior to 24.4.4 HF1 allows authenticated low-privileged users on Unix-family systems (Linux x64, Linux Power 64 BE/LE, zLinux, AIX, Solaris x64, Solaris Sparc 64) to abuse the agent's elevated privileges and target programs running with higher rights. The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.5 reflects high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact achievable from a local foothold, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Cross-tenant DNS and TLS poisoning in Windmill versions prior to 1.703.2 allows authenticated low-privilege users to write to /etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf, and the system CA bundle from inside nsjail script sandboxes, persisting tampered state across every subsequent job on the same worker pod. Because poisoned entries survive between executions, attackers can hijack hostname resolution, perform transparent HTTPS man-in-the-middle, and steal WM_TOKEN JWTs to escalate to workspace-admin in other tenants. Publicly available exploit code exists per SSVC (poc), and CVSS 4.0 rates this 8.6 with high confidentiality and integrity impact.
Stored cross-site scripting in Argo CD lets a low-privileged developer escalate to admin by planting a malicious `link.argocd.argoproj.io/*` annotation on any Application; the value is rendered as an unvalidated `<a href>` in the Summary tab's URLs section, so a `javascript:` payload hidden behind a benign 'GitHub Repo' label executes in the admin's authenticated same-origin session when clicked. A detailed public exploit exists (PoC in the vendor advisory demonstrating session exfiltration via Burp Collaborator), though EPSS is very low (0.04%) and there is no public exploit identified as actively used; this is a CVSS 8.7 authenticated, user-interaction-dependent issue affecting Argo CD v2.x, v3.2.x, v3.3.x and v3.4.x. An attacker with `applications` write access can capture the admin's session data and drive Argo CD APIs as admin.
Privilege escalation in Mozilla Firefox's WebRTC Audio/Video component allows remote attackers to elevate privileges within the browser context when a user is lured into interacting with a malicious page. The flaw carries a CVSS 8.8 with required user interaction and was addressed in Firefox 151; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS exploitation probability sits at 0.03% (8th percentile).
Privilege escalation in Mozilla Firefox's Security component allows remote attackers to elevate privileges within the browser when a victim interacts with attacker-controlled content, affecting Firefox versions prior to 151 and Firefox ESR prior to 140.11. With CVSS 8.8 (high) and user interaction required, exploitation is plausible via malicious web content, though EPSS sits at just 0.04% (12th percentile) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. SSVC rates exploitation as 'none' but flags the issue as automatable with partial technical impact, suggesting concerning scalability if a working exploit emerges.
Privilege escalation in the Enterprise Policies component of Mozilla Firefox affects versions prior to Firefox 151 and Firefox ESR 140.11, allowing remote attackers who can convince a user to interact with crafted content to elevate privileges within the browser. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS scoring places exploitation probability at just 0.03% (9th percentile). The vulnerability requires user interaction per the CVSS vector, which somewhat constrains real-world weaponization despite the high 8.8 CVSS score.
Privilege escalation in Mozilla Firefox's DOM Workers component allows remote attackers to elevate privileges within the browser when a victim interacts with a malicious web page. Affects Firefox versions prior to 151 and Firefox ESR prior to 140.11, with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS rates exploitation probability at only 0.03% (9th percentile).
Privilege escalation in Mozilla Firefox via the Application Update component allows remote attackers to gain elevated privileges when a user interacts with malicious content, fixed in Firefox 151. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R) and is categorized under CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management). There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS estimates only a 0.03% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Local privilege escalation in Mullvad VPN for macOS versions 2026.1 and earlier allows a user in the admin group to gain root code execution during installation or upgrade. The installer's preinstall script executes binaries from /Applications/Mullvad VPN.app without verifying the bundle's integrity, enabling an admin-group attacker to pre-stage a malicious app bundle that runs as root. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the flaw is only triggerable when an installer is run, not on already-installed systems.
