EPSS data not available; no public exploit identified at time of analysis; not listed in CISA KEV.
File Browser's self-registration mechanism grants arbitrary shell command execution to unauthenticated attackers when administrators enable signup alongside server-side execution. The signupHandler inherits Execute permissions and Commands lists from default user templates but only strips Admin privileges, allowing newly registered users to immediately execute arbitrary commands via WebSocket with the process's full privileges. Vendor patch available. EPSS data not provided, but the specific configuration requirement (signup + enableExec + Execute in defaults) significantly narrows the attack surface despite the network-accessible, unauthenticated attack vector (CVSS 8.1 High). No confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV) or public exploit code identified at time of analysis beyond the detailed proof-of-concept in the advisory.
Stored XSS in File Browser's EPUB preview function (versions ≤v2.62.1) allows authenticated attackers to steal JWT tokens and escalate privileges by uploading malicious EPUB files. The vulnerability arises from passing allowScriptedContent:true to the epub.js library combined with an ineffective iframe sandbox (allow-scripts + allow-same-origin), enabling JavaScript in crafted EPUBs to access parent frame localStorage. CVSS 7.6 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C). No public exploit identified at time of analysis beyond the detailed PoC in the advisory. EPSS data not available. Vendor-released patch available per GitHub advisory. Low-privilege users with file upload permissions can weaponize this to compromise administrator sessions.
Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in FastMCP's OpenAPIProvider allows authenticated attackers to access arbitrary backend endpoints through path traversal injection in OpenAPI path parameters. The vulnerability arises from improper URL encoding in the RequestDirector._build_url() method, enabling attackers to escape intended API prefixes using '../' sequences and reach internal administrative or sensitive endpoints while inheriting the MCP provider's authentication context. This affects the fastmcp Python package and enables privilege escalation beyond the OpenAPI specification's intended API surface. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though detailed proof-of-concept code exists in the GitHub advisory demonstrating traversal to /admin endpoints.
Weak pseudo-random number generation in Cloudreve enables JWT forgery and complete account takeover on instances initialized before v4.10.0. Attackers can brute-force the PRNG seed (achievable in under 3 hours on consumer hardware) by obtaining administrator creation timestamps via public APIs and validating against known hashids, then forge valid JWTs for any user including administrators. No public exploit confirmed at time of analysis, though detailed attack methodology is disclosed. CVSS 8.1 (High) reflects network-accessible privilege escalation despite high attack complexity requiring cryptographic brute-forcing.
Privilege escalation in APTRS (Automated Penetration Testing Reporting System) prior to version 2.0.1 allows any user to escalate their own account or modify any other user account to superuser status by submitting a crafted POST request to /api/auth/edituser/<pk> with an is_superuser field set to true. The CustomUserSerializer fails to mark is_superuser as read-only despite including it in serializer fields, and the edit_user view lacks validation to prevent non-superusers from modifying this critical field. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, but the vulnerability is trivial to exploit given basic HTTP client access to the endpoint.
Privilege escalation in OpenText Operations Agent versions 12.29 and earlier on Windows allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code by placing malicious executables in specific writeable directories, which the agent subsequently executes with elevated privileges. The vulnerability requires local access and specific conditions to be present but does not require prior authentication to the agent itself. No public exploit code has been identified, and there is no confirmation of active exploitation at time of analysis.
Command injection in MLflow's MLServer integration allows unauthenticated adjacent network attackers to execute arbitrary commands when models are served with enable_mlserver=True. Unsanitized model_uri parameters embedded in bash -c commands enable shell metacharacter exploitation (command substitution via $() or backticks). With CVSS 9.6 (Critical) and adjacent network attack vector, this poses significant risk in multi-tenant MLOps environments where lower-privileged users can control model URIs served by higher-privileged services. No public exploit code identified at time of analysis, with EPSS data not yet available for this recent CVE.
Privilege escalation in OpenClaw (pre-2026.3.28) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to gain administrative access by exploiting missing scope validation in the device pairing approval workflow.
