Privilege Escalation
Monthly
Prompt-injection-driven privilege escalation in CodeWhale 0.8.41-0.8.63 allows an attacker who can place malicious instructions in content the agent ingests to execute arbitrary commands inside an already-approved long-running interactive shell session - such as python3 -i, mysql, ssh, or sudo -i - without triggering any user approval prompt. The root cause is that exec_shell_interact (and its RlmEvalTool counterpart) hardcoded ApprovalRequirement::Auto, overriding the default Required gate that governs code-executing tools. Fixed in version 0.8.64; no public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation and arbitrary code execution in Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes (RHACM) allows an authenticated low-privilege user to hijack the governance-policy container image across managed clusters. By annotating the namespaced ManagedClusterAddOn resource - a permission that may be granted to non-administrative users - the attacker causes the governance-policy-addon-controller to deploy a malicious, attacker-controlled image running with cluster-admin privileges on every managed cluster under the hub's control. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been confirmed at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity and high impact across cluster boundaries make this a prioritized patching target for multi-cluster RHACM deployments.
Privilege escalation in Dell Watchdog Timer Driver versions prior to 2.0.0.1 allows a local low-privileged attacker to gain full system control by abusing an improperly access-controlled IOCTL interface exposed by the kernel driver. The CVSS scope-changed score of 8.8 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C) reflects that exploitation crosses the kernel trust boundary, yielding complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. No public exploit or active exploitation (CISA KEV) has been identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity makes this a meaningful local privilege escalation risk on Dell-equipped systems.
Privilege escalation in The Grid WordPress plugin (versions ≤ 2.7.9.1) permits any authenticated subscriber-level user to elevate their role, effectively granting unauthorized administrative access to the WordPress installation. The vulnerability stems from incorrect privilege assignment (CWE-266), where the plugin fails to properly restrict privileged actions to appropriate roles. With a CVSS score of 8.8 and no special configuration required beyond plugin installation and a valid subscriber account, this represents a meaningful threat to WordPress sites with open user registration. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation in Mozilla Firefox's Enterprise Policies component allows an attacker to gain elevated privileges by subverting administrator-defined policy enforcement, affecting Firefox before 154 and Firefox ESR before 153.1. Mozilla (the reporter) assigned CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management) and the record carries a CVSS 9.8 rating, though the low EPSS score (0.15%, 5th percentile) signals minimal predicted exploitation. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
Privilege escalation in Firefox's Request Handling component exposes all versions prior to 154 (and ESR prior to 153.1) to high-impact compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The flaw carries a CVSS 8.8 score with a network attack vector and no privilege prerequisite, meaning a remote attacker can trigger it by inducing a user to interact with attacker-controlled content. SSVC assessment confirms no active exploitation at time of analysis and rates technical impact as total, while fix versions are confirmed via two Mozilla security advisories.
Privilege escalation via the Application Update component in Mozilla Firefox allows a network-adjacent attacker, with user interaction, to gain elevated privileges with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. All Firefox versions prior to 154 are affected per Mozilla CPE data. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, though the CVSS score of 8.8 and the nature of the update mechanism - which on some platforms (e.g., Windows via the Mozilla Maintenance Service) operates with system-level privileges - make this a meaningful escalation risk.
Privilege escalation in Mozilla Firefox's Downloads API component exposes users on any version prior to Firefox 154 or Firefox ESR 153.1 to high-impact compromise across confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Classified under CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management), the flaw enables an unauthenticated remote attacker to escalate privileges when a user interacts with a crafted download trigger, requiring no prior foothold on the target system. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but Firefox's ubiquitous deployment and the low attack complexity make this a high-priority patch for any organization.
Privilege escalation via invalid pointer dereference in Mozilla Firefox's Graphics component allows a remote attacker to gain elevated privileges within the browser context. Affected versions are all Firefox releases prior to 154 and all Firefox ESR releases prior to 153.1, with patches confirmed in Mozilla advisories mfsa2026-74 and mfsa2026-77. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and CISA's SSVC framework rates exploitation status as none with the attack not automatable, though technical impact is assessed as total.
Privilege escalation via the Shell Integration component in Mozilla Firefox allows a remote unauthenticated attacker - with user interaction - to achieve full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability on affected systems. Affected are all Firefox releases prior to 154 and ESR branches prior to 140.14 and 153.1, as confirmed by Mozilla advisories mfsa2026-74, mfsa2026-76, and mfsa2026-77. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, and SSVC rates exploitation status as none.
Privilege escalation in Firefox's Networking: Cookies component allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges within the browser when a user visits a malicious page, yielding full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. All Firefox releases prior to 154 and both ESR branches prior to 140.14 and 153.1 are affected across all platforms. SSVC rates technical impact as total, but exploitation status is confirmed as none and the attack is not automatable due to the required user interaction; no public exploit or CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis.
Use-after-free memory corruption in Firefox's Canvas2D graphics component enables privilege escalation against any unpatched browser version. Remote unauthenticated attackers can achieve full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact by delivering a malicious web page to a victim using Firefox prior to version 154 (stable) or the affected ESR releases. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the memory corruption class and low attack complexity make this a high-priority patch for both consumer and enterprise Firefox deployments.
Privilege escalation via incorrect boundary conditions in Firefox's Graphics: CanvasWebGL component allows remote attackers to achieve high-impact code execution by luring users to a crafted web page. The flaw affects all Firefox releases prior to version 154 and multiple ESR branches (115.x, 140.x, 153.x), making the exposure broad across both consumer and enterprise deployments. No active exploitation has been confirmed (SSVC: Exploitation: none), but the CVSS 8.8 score and total technical impact classification warrant prompt patching.
Privilege escalation via the Remote Settings Client component affects Mozilla Firefox across all supported mainline and ESR release tracks, with Mozilla assigning the issue CVSS 8.8 High severity. The flaw (CWE-269, Improper Privilege Management) permits a network-based attacker to escalate privileges within the browser context when a user interacts with attacker-controlled content, achieving total confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. No public exploit code exists and CISA has not listed this in KEV, but the simultaneous patching of three ESR branches alongside mainline signals that Mozilla assessed significant breadth of exposure across its install base.
Privilege escalation in Firefox's CanvasWebGL graphics component affects all Firefox releases prior to version 154 and both active ESR branches, enabling a remote attacker to gain full control over confidentiality, integrity, and availability within the browser process. The flaw stems from improper privilege management (CWE-269) in the WebGL canvas rendering pipeline, exploitable by luring a victim to a crafted web page - no authentication or special software is required beyond a standard Firefox installation. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis; however, Mozilla issued three simultaneous security advisories (MFSA2026-74/76/77) addressing all supported release tracks, signaling broad internal severity.
Privilege escalation in Firefox's DOM Navigation component allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to achieve full confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise within the browser process by inducing a user to visit a malicious webpage. All Firefox releases prior to version 154 and all active ESR branches (115.x, 140.x, 153.x) are affected, with Mozilla issuing four simultaneous MFSA advisories (mfsa2026-74 through mfsa2026-77) indicating broad impact across every supported release channel. No public exploit or KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity and zero authentication requirement make this a high-priority patch for all Firefox deployments.
Privilege escalation in Firefox's DOM Networking component allows remote attackers who can lure a user to a malicious webpage to achieve high-impact compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The flaw, rooted in improper privilege management (CWE-269), affects all Firefox releases prior to version 154 and multiple ESR branches, and has been patched across four simultaneous Mozilla advisories (mfsa2026-74 through mfsa2026-77). No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
Privilege escalation in ArcadeDB server (versions 26.7.3 and earlier) allows a low-privileged authenticated user with read-only access to a single database to gain full server-wide administrative control. The flaw stems from the server failing to bind the authenticated principal to asynchronous command worker threads, so a JavaScript command submitted with awaitResponse:false runs with no user context and bypasses the scripting authorization gate entirely. VulnCheck reported the issue; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the mechanics are fully documented in the vendor advisory, making exploitation straightforward.
Privilege escalation in ArcadeDB before 26.8.1 lets a low-privileged authenticated reader escalate to full server administrator via the gRPC transaction interface. Because the server fails to bind the authenticated principal to the gRPC transaction executor thread in beginTransaction, an attacker can call executeCommand with a valid transaction ID to run arbitrary JavaScript that bypasses scripting authorization, ultimately creating server-wide admin accounts. Reported by VulnCheck with a linked GitHub security advisory; no public exploit is identified at time of analysis, and the flaw carries a CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.4.
Vertical privilege escalation in Grav CMS before 2.0.14 lets a delegated administrator holding only the admin.users permission promote an account to super-admin by saving a group with access[admin][super]=true. The core group blueprint omits the required security@: admin.super guard on the access field, so the operator inherits full super-admin capabilities including the task scheduler and arbitrary Twig template evaluation - effectively code execution on the host. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not in CISA KEV, but the fix is confirmed in the vendor GHSA advisory.
Privilege escalation in the Trueview T18061 WiFi 3MP Robot Pan-Tilt Security Camera (firmware Version 1.0) stems from an embedded RSA private key, letting a nearby attacker who recovers or reuses that key gain elevated access to the device. The flaw is classified under CWE-321 (use of a hard-coded cryptographic key), meaning every unit of this model likely shares the same secret key material. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV; EPSS data was not provided.
Privilege escalation in Dokploy prior to version 0.29.6 allows an authenticated user with member:create permission to permanently seize organization ownership by exploiting two authorization logic flaws: the inviteMember tRPC procedure fails to restrict the role parameter to non-owner values, and the user creation service in user.ts permits arbitrary role assignment on self-hosted instances. Because owner roles cannot be demoted through normal application controls once assigned, a successful takeover is irreversible without direct database intervention. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis; vendor-released patch v0.29.6 closes both vulnerable code paths.
Privilege escalation in Red Hat Multicluster Engine for Kubernetes (MCE) lets a privileged service account on a managed spoke cluster submit a forged Certificate Signing Request that the managedcluster-import-controller auto-approves, yielding administrative credentials on the central hub cluster. The controller's auto-approval path neither inspects the CSR signer name nor decodes the PEM-encoded x509 request, so an attacker who already controls a spoke can pivot to full control of the hub and, by extension, every cluster it manages. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is low (0.22%, 12th percentile) and CISA SSVC records no observed exploitation.
Service account role escalation in SkyPilot grants any authenticated user full administrative control by exploiting missing authorization enforcement on the permission update API. The server-side handler in sky/users/server.py accepted admin role assignments from any valid user without verifying the caller held admin privileges - a direct CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management) failure. All versions are affected per wildcard CPE; a patch commit is available upstream but no formally tagged release has been confirmed. No active exploitation is confirmed at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation in Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2 allows any attacker with local pod execution under the `search-serviceaccount` service account to impersonate `system:masters` and gain full cluster-admin control. The `search-serviceaccount` RBAC bindings grant cluster-wide `impersonate` permissions on users and groups - a grossly over-privileged configuration that collapses the entire cluster's security boundary if any pod running under this account is compromised. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and this CVE is not in CISA KEV, but the CVSS scope change (S:C) and full CIA triad impact (C:H/I:H/A:H) accurately reflect the catastrophic blast radius of successful exploitation.
Local privilege escalation in Zephyr RTOS (versions 4.0.0-4.4.1 with CONFIG_USERSPACE enabled) allows an unprivileged user-mode thread to execute arbitrary code in kernel supervisor mode by supplying forged struct device pointers with attacker-controlled API function tables to the flash_copy() system call. The syscall verifier z_vrfy_flash_copy() validated the output buffer but omitted the K_SYSCALL_DRIVER_FLASH object validation for src_dev and dst_dev that every sibling flash syscall enforces - a unique gap in the trust boundary that the kernel implementation blindly dereferences in supervisor context. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis; a vendor-released patch is confirmed in commit 1b1ecdc4 and available in Zephyr 4.4.2.
LDAP filter injection in Roundcube Webmail arises from unescaped substitution variables (`%u`, `%fu`, `%d`) embedded directly into LDAP `search_filter` configuration strings, affecting all 1.6.x releases before 1.6.18 and 1.7.x releases before 1.7.3. An authenticated user whose login credentials contain crafted LDAP metacharacters can manipulate server-side directory queries, potentially disclosing LDAP directory contents or escalating privileges by subverting group membership lookups. No active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis (SSVC: Exploitation none), though the low attack complexity and network accessibility warrant prompt patching for any LDAP-backed deployment.
Remote content blocking evasion in Roundcube Webmail before 1.6.18 and 1.7.x before 1.7.3 lets a crafted SVG image with an unclosed url() in a FuncIRI attribute slip past the remote-image blocker, so external resources load when a victim views a malicious email. This exposes the recipient's IP, mail-client fingerprint, and email-open telemetry to the sender, and per the advisory may aid further information disclosure or privilege escalation. It has a vendor patch and no public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is low (0.31%) and CISA SSVC rates exploitation as none.
IMAP command injection in Roundcube Webmail before 1.6.18 and 1.7.x before 1.7.3 enables authenticated remote attackers to disclose information or escalate privileges by exploiting a desynchronization between mail search operations and LITERAL+ byte-count handling. The flaw was reported by Zach Hanley of Horizon3.ai and is classified as CWE-77 (Command Injection), with the vendor releasing patched versions 1.6.18 and 1.7.3 on 2026-08-09. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, though the C:H/I:H CVSS impact and the researcher's track record for producing working exploits elevate the urgency of patching.
Privilege escalation in GAPTEQ Designer v3.5 allows a remote attacker to abuse the Company Manager role to gain elevated privileges, per CWE-269 (improper privilege management). Publicly available exploit code exists (referenced on GitHub), and CISA's SSVC framework rates the technical impact as total and the flaw as automatable, though it is not listed in CISA KEV and EPSS remains low (0.21%, 11th percentile). The scope of affected deployments is limited to the GAPTEQ low-code application platform rather than a widely embedded library.
Privilege escalation in Squirro Cognitive Search before v3.14.2 lets a remote attacker submit a crafted request to gain elevated privileges within the enterprise search platform. The flaw is rated CVSS 9.8 with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, and CISA's SSVC framework marks it automatable with total technical impact. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS estimates near-term exploitation probability at just 0.21% (11th percentile).
Privilege escalation in the All-in-One WP Migration and Backup WordPress plugin (versions prior to 7.108) on multisite installations allows subsite administrators to execute arbitrary PHP code across the entire WordPress network. The vulnerability stems from missing access control enforcement on the migration import feature, which should be restricted to network-level administrators but is accessible to lower-privileged subsite admins. A publicly available exploit exists per WPScan and SSVC classification; however, EPSS sits at only 0.14% (4th percentile), and CISA KEV does not list this as actively exploited at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation in the Frontend Admin by DynamiApps WordPress plugin (all versions through 3.29.9) lets attackers take over the default administrator account by overwriting its password or email. The flaw stems from an authorization check that is silently skipped when the target user ID is a non-numeric string, which WordPress later coerces to integer 1 (the default admin). Where a public-facing frontend user form is configured the attack is fully unauthenticated; otherwise any subscriber-level account suffices. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the CVSS is 9.8 (Critical) and it was reported by Wordfence.
Unauthenticated privilege escalation in the Pods - Custom Content Types and Fields plugin for WordPress (all versions through 3.3.9) lets remote attackers bypass every authorization guard on the pods_admin AJAX router and perform administrator-level actions. Because failed checks return false instead of halting execution, an attacker with no account can promote themselves to Administrator or overwrite any user's password - including the site owner's - leading to full site takeover. Reported by Wordfence; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the root cause is precisely described.
Privilege escalation in the Real Estate Manager Pro WordPress plugin (all versions ≤ 12.8.6) allows authenticated Subscriber-level users to seize full Administrator control of a WordPress site. The flaw in `allow_attachment_actions()` confuses WordPress user IDs with media attachment IDs during capability checks, enabling a low-privileged user to edit an administrator account when those integer IDs collide. No confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV) has been recorded, but the Subscriber-level access bar makes this a practical threat on any multi-user WordPress installation where the plugin is deployed.
Privilege escalation in the Wholesale Market WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 2.2.2) allows any authenticated user with Subscriber-level access or higher to elevate their account to Administrator by supplying an arbitrary role name to a poorly validated AJAX endpoint. The ced_wholesale_request_send_callback() handler accepts a client-controlled role_required POST parameter and passes it directly to WP_User::add_role() without an allowlist, relying solely on a nonce that is freely exposed to all authenticated users via wp_localize_script. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity combined with Subscriber-level access requirement makes this a realistic and attractive target on sites with the vulnerable configuration option active.
Privilege escalation in the bLoyal: Loyalty & Promotions WordPress plugin allows any subscriber-level authenticated user to overwrite the plugin's configured Loyalty Engine API URL via unprotected AJAX actions, then trigger an unauthenticated REST route to force the plugin to authenticate against an attacker-controlled server and invoke wp_set_auth_cookie() with an arbitrary WordPress user ID, yielding full administrator access. All plugin versions through 3.1.611.78 are affected across every WordPress installation running the plugin. No public exploit code identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the low barrier to entry - any subscriber account suffices - elevates practical risk significantly on sites with open registration.
Privilege escalation in the Propovoice WordPress plugin (all versions through 1.7.8) allows authenticated users holding the plugin-granted ndpv_manager role to create new WordPress accounts with full administrator privileges. The REST endpoint backing the team member create() function passes the user-supplied role parameter directly to WP_User::set_role() without validating it against an allowlist of safe roles or checking the WordPress promote_users capability. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but the attack surface is broader than typical authenticated vulnerabilities because the ndpv_manager role is granted by the plugin itself - not the site administrator - expanding who can trigger the escalation.
Elevation of privilege in the Microsoft Malware Protection Engine (Microsoft Defender), publicly named 'ShieldBreak', allows a locally authenticated low-privileged user to gain high-level system access. The CVSS vector confirms a local, low-complexity attack requiring only low privileges and no user interaction, with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. Proof-of-concept exploit code exists (E:P in the temporal vector), and Microsoft has acknowledged the vulnerability publicly.
Privilege escalation via a deterministic use-after-free in Zephyr RTOS's dynamic kernel-object disposal path affects any firmware build compiled with both CONFIG_USERSPACE and CONFIG_DYNAMIC_OBJECTS enabled. An unprivileged user thread can arm a dynamically-allocated k_timer, then release its last permission - causing unref_check() to free the timer's backing storage while the embedded struct _timeout dnode remains linked in the global _timeout_q; when the timer subsequently fires, z_timer_expiration_handler() dereferences and writes the freed - and potentially reallocated - kernel heap at ISR privilege. The bug constitutes a reliable sandbox-escape memory-corruption primitive scored CVSS 8.8 with scope change (S:C), and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.
Command injection (CWE-78) in Tenable Security Center versions prior to 6.9.0 enables a local attacker with write access to a specific configuration file to achieve arbitrary code execution at elevated privilege levels, with no user interaction required after file modification. Self-disclosed by Tenable and remediated in Security Center 6.9.0, as documented in advisory TNS-2026-22. No public exploit code has been identified and this vulnerability does not appear in the CISA KEV catalog at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation in Tenable Security Center allows an authenticated Security Manager to manage users outside their authorized group scope, bypassing the platform's intended group-based access controls. The flaw affects all Security Center versions prior to 6.9.0 and is exploitable over the network by any user holding the Security Manager role with at least one 'manage user' permission grant. No public exploit code has been identified and this vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, though the vendor has self-reported it and released a patch via advisory TNS-2026-22.
Privilege escalation in Dell Wyse Management Suite (WMS) versions prior to 2605.0.2 enables a local low-privileged attacker to gain elevated system control by exploiting incorrectly set default permissions on files or resources managed by the WMS platform (CWE-269). The CVSS vector confirms a scope change (S:C) with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, meaning a successful exploit transcends the initially compromised process context. Dell has released a fix in version 2605.0.2 via advisory DSA-2026-329; no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation in Dell Wyse Management Suite (WMS) versions prior to 2605.0.2 allows a low-privileged local attacker to fully compromise the host system through improper deserialization of untrusted data. The vulnerability carries a CVSS 7.8 High score with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact scoped to the vulnerable system. No public exploit code has been identified and EPSS places this at the 0th percentile for near-term exploitation likelihood; however, SSVC rates the technical impact as total, meaning successful exploitation results in complete system compromise for any attacker already holding local access.
Privilege escalation in Akaunting versions 3.1.21 and earlier allows any low-privileged authenticated user to self-assign the administrator role, gaining full platform control. The flaw resides in the UpdateUser job, which invokes roles()->sync() on caller-supplied role IDs without verifying whether the requesting user holds authorization to assign roles - exploitable by any account holding the default update-auth-profile permission. No public exploit has been confirmed at time of analysis, but the low exploitation barrier (authenticated, no special config) and full admin impact make this a high-priority remediation target.
Privilege escalation in getgrav/grav-plugin-api versions 1.0.6 through 1.0.11 allows any holder of a scoped, read-only API key to perform super-admin write operations - including rewriting group ACL maps to elevate arbitrary accounts to super-admin. The flaw exists because four privileged write endpoints (GroupsController, AccountsConfigController, PreferencesController, DashboardWidgetController) authorize via an isSuperAdmin() early-return that entirely skips requirePermission(), the only function that enforces scope caps on API keys. A leaked CI or monitoring key with a minimal scope such as api.pages.read is sufficient to achieve full administrative compromise. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and a patch is available in version 1.0.13.
Remote code execution in Grav API plugin versions before 1.0.13 is achievable by any attacker holding a scoped api.config.write API key. The ConfigController fails to enforce its super-scope gates, permitting scoped keys to overwrite scheduler.custom_jobs configuration that Grav subsequently executes via the Symfony Process component. A public exploit exists per SSVC data, the attack is rated automatable, and technical impact is assessed as total - making this a high-priority patching target despite a low EPSS score.
Privilege escalation in the Grav API plugin (getgrav/grav-plugin-api) before 1.0.13 allows an authenticated API key holder with api.users.write scope to silently bypass the scope-cap enforcement and self-elevate to super-administrator. The flaw lies in UsersController's create() and update() methods, which validate scope caps only for api.users.write actions but fall back to a bare isSuperAdmin() check - reading access.api.super from the parent account rather than the key's own scope - when granting super privileges, allowing a limited key on a super account to mint or promote unrestricted admin accounts. A proof-of-concept exists per SSVC assessment, CISA rates exploitation as automatable with total technical impact, and a vendor-released patch is available at version 1.0.13.
Privilege escalation in Grav Plugin API before 1.0.13 allows an attacker controlling a minimal api.users.write API key - issued under a super admin account - to craft invitation records that embed super-admin access flags, which are written verbatim to any account that accepts the invitation. The root cause is CWE-269 improper privilege management: InvitationsController's strip-super and accept-groups decisions evaluate isSuperAdmin() against the owning account rather than against the API key's declared scope, so a deliberately restricted key silently retains the owner's super-admin authority for these checks. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Privilege escalation in the Essential Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin (versions 5.8.6 through before 6.7.2) permits unauthenticated remote attackers to self-register accounts with arbitrary WordPress roles, up to and including administrator, by supplying crafted values in user registration fields that overwrite reserved account attributes. The attack is gated on a non-default site configuration - specifically, a custom profile registration field with a particular label must have been set up by the site administrator - meaning only a subset of the estimated multi-million plugin install base is realistically exposed. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing have been identified at time of analysis, though the unauthenticated path to full admin access makes affected sites a critical-priority remediation target.
Unauthenticated account takeover in the Wishlist Member WordPress membership plugin (versions up to and including 3.34.1) lets remote attackers seize any existing account, including administrators. The wpm_register() function verifies the registration cookie only against the GET reg parameter while trusting the POST mergewith and wpm_id parameters, so an attacker who supplies a victim's numeric user ID as mergewith causes wp_update_user() (plus a direct $wpdb query) to overwrite that account's username, password, email, and name with attacker values while suppressing WordPress notification emails. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but the CVSS 9.8 rating and unauthenticated network vector make this a critical-priority issue for any site running the plugin.
Missing authentication in OpenChoreo's cluster-gateway internal API lets any network-reachable caller invoke /api/proxy/, /api/exec/, and /api/wirelogs/ without a client certificate or token, exposing tenant Kubernetes Secrets and allowing workload mutation and arbitrary command execution across every connected data plane. All deployments before 1.0.3, 1.1.3, and 1.2.0-rc.2 are affected, and the fix introduces an opt-in --internal-mtls mode plus a dedicated internal CA. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV; risk is amplified because the internal listener effectively brokers cross-tenant, multi-cluster control-plane access.
SSH key injection in FreePBX versions 17.0.5.34 through 17.0.10.x allows authenticated administrators to escalate from web application control to persistent OS-level shell access on the underlying host. The publicKeySave AJAX endpoint in Backup.class.php appends caller-supplied SSH public keys to /home/asterisk/.ssh/authorized_keys without reliably enforcing backup-only command restrictions or source IP constraints, granting the asterisk OS user unrestricted interactive shell access. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis; a vendor-released patch is available in version 17.0.11.
Privilege escalation in Budibase's public role-assignment API allows an app-scoped builder to grant themselves or other users builder access - or arbitrary data-plane roles - across any app in a shared tenant. Versions prior to 3.39.24 are affected; the CVSS score of 8.8 (PR:L) reflects that a low-privilege authenticated account is sufficient, with no user interaction or elevated complexity required. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing is identified at time of analysis, but the vulnerability is straightforwardly reproducible given the published commit diff and GHSA advisory detail.
Privilege escalation in IBM i versions 7.3 through 7.6 allows a local authenticated attacker to abuse improper authorization controls in the Navigator for i debugger component to access or manipulate sensitive system data, or create new profiles with elevated privileges. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-285 (Improper Authorization), indicating the debugger fails to enforce sufficient privilege checks before granting access to sensitive operations. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis, though SSVC assesses the technical impact as total should exploitation occur.
Privilege escalation in IBM i (7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6) lets a remote, authenticated attacker gain elevated privileges by abusing improper validation of pointers read from Java-controlled addresses, giving full compromise of the affected component and a scope-changing impact beyond it. IBM assigned a critical CVSS 9.9 (S:C) despite requiring low privileges. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and CISA SSVC records exploitation status as none, so this is a patch-worthy critical without evidence of active abuse yet.
Security-restriction bypass in IBM i (the operating system for IBM Power servers, formerly OS/400) versions 7.3 through 7.6 lets a remote attacker abuse improper validation of user-controlled addresses to elevate privileges and cross a security boundary. Vendor scoring rates this a maximum-severity, unauthenticated network flaw (CVSS 10.0, scope-changed), though there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS exploitation probability is low (0.33%). IBM published a fix, and CISA's SSVC framework currently marks exploitation as 'none' with a 'total' technical impact.
Thread authority swap mismanagement in IBM i 7.3 through 7.6 enables a low-privileged local attacker to gain elevated system authorities, including potentially *ALLOBJ-equivalent access. The CVSS scope change (S:C) confirms that successful exploitation extends privilege impact beyond the attacker's own user profile, threatening the broader system partition. No public exploit or active CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis; risk is driven by low attack complexity and the critical role IBM i plays in regulated enterprise environments.
Arbitrary file read in HashiCorp Vault Secrets Operator versions 1.3.0 through 1.4.1 lets a low-privileged Kubernetes tenant abuse the AppRole authentication's SecretIDPath configuration to read files from the operator pod's filesystem and exfiltrate their contents to an attacker-controlled endpoint, enabling privilege escalation across the cluster. Because the operator pod typically holds credentials and tokens spanning multiple tenants, a single limited-RBAC tenant can cross trust boundaries (CVSS scope change), yielding a 9.6 rating. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity and multi-tenant blast radius make this a high-priority patch.
Privilege escalation in IBM i 7.3 through 7.6 allows remote authenticated users to gain unauthorized elevated privileges via improper privilege management. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) confirms network-reachable exploitation requiring only low-level credentials, with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the affected system. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing is identified at time of analysis, but a vendor-released patch is available.
Privilege escalation in Kibana Fleet allows an authenticated low-privileged user to bypass integration-scoped authorization controls by exploiting a logic flaw in how policy update requests are validated (CWE-863). An operator holding only the Elastic Defend endpoint policy management role can craft a Fleet API update request that substitutes a different integration type into an existing endpoint policy they control, because Fleet evaluates the authorization check against the stored policy's original integration rather than the replacement integration supplied in the request. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but the vendor (Elastic) has issued advisory ESA-2026-127 with patched releases.
Privilege escalation in Kibana arises from insufficient CSRF protection in the Vega visualization engine, affecting all versions prior to 8.19.20 and 9.4.5. Any Kibana user with visualization creation rights can embed a specially crafted Vega specification that, when rendered by a higher-privileged user's browser, silently issues authenticated HTTP requests to Kibana under the victim's session credentials. No public exploit code has been identified and no CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis, though the low attack complexity and widely deployed nature of the product make this a meaningful remediation priority.
Privilege escalation in Elastic Kibana's Agent Builder component (versions 9.4.0-9.4.3) allows authenticated low-privileged users to create and execute Agent tools that invoke Kibana features they are not authorized to access, bypassing the platform's feature-level access controls. The Agent Builder omits authorization verification against the target feature's required privilege set before tool creation and execution, enabling cross-feature privilege escalation and potential disclosure of sensitive data. No public exploit code exists and EPSS is 0.25%, but SSVC rates technical impact as total, making this a meaningful risk in multi-tenant or role-segmented Kibana deployments.
Local privilege escalation in IBM i versions 7.3 through 7.6 allows an authenticated local user with low-level system privileges to gain elevated authority due to improper privilege management (CWE-269). The CVSS vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) confirms exploitation requires no special conditions beyond existing local access, with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact upon success. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and IBM has released a patch via its support portal.
Privilege escalation in Lenovo Dock Manager exposes local authenticated users to full system compromise via an improperly protected cryptographic key, discovered during Lenovo's own internal security assessment. An attacker with a standard local user account can extract the weakly protected key and leverage it to elevate privileges on the affected endpoint. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis; Lenovo has released a patch via advisory LEN-223470.
Privilege escalation in Lenovo Dock Manager allows a local authenticated user to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges by exploiting improper file or directory permissions (CWE-276). The flaw was identified during Lenovo's own internal security assessment, suggesting proactive vendor discovery rather than external researcher or attacker-driven disclosure. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the local-only attack vector (AV:L, PR:L) meaningfully constrains real-world exposure compared to network-exploitable vulnerabilities, though enterprise environments with shared Lenovo workstations should treat this as a genuine privilege escalation risk.
Symlink race condition in rsync before 3.5.0 enables local privilege escalation by allowing an attacker to redirect ACL and extended attribute application to arbitrary files outside the intended destination tree. A low-privileged local attacker exploits the timing window between rsync's file write and the subsequent acl_set_file() or lsetxattr() call by substituting a crafted symlink at a predictable destination path, causing rsync to stamp permissions onto unintended files. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV; however, the CVSS 4.0 score of 7.2 reflects genuine high confidentiality and integrity impact when successfully timed.
Symlink following in rsync before 3.5.0 enables local privilege escalation by allowing a low-privileged attacker to redirect ancillary file writes - such as log files, batch files, or daemon statistics - to arbitrary filesystem locations. Affected installations are those where rsync executes with elevated privileges, specifically setuid binaries or privileged daemon configurations, making the impact proportional to how widely such configurations are deployed. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but the CVSS 4.0 score of 8.5 and the designation of v3.5.0 as a 'major security release' by the rsync maintainers signal this is treated as a high-severity finding.
Privilege escalation in the Directories Pro WordPress plugin (versions <= 2.0.5) allows a subscriber-level authenticated user to gain higher-level privileges within the WordPress installation. Reported by Patchstack and classified under CWE-266 (Incorrect Privilege Assignment), this flaw exposes sites using the plugin for directory listings to unauthorized data access and content manipulation. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, though the network-accessible attack surface warrants prompt patching.
Privilege escalation in the WooCommerce-focused "SMS Alert Order Notifications" WordPress plugin (versions 3.9.7 and earlier) lets an unauthenticated remote attacker gain elevated privileges on the site. The flaw stems from incorrect privilege handling (CWE-266) and, per its CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), is remotely reachable without authentication or user interaction, yielding full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but the 9.8 base score and unauthenticated nature make it a serious, near-full-compromise risk.
Unauthenticated privilege escalation in the miniOrange SAML SP Single Sign On WordPress plugin (versions ≤ 5.4.3) allows network-accessible attackers to elevate their privileges without any prior authentication. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N) indicates exploitation is remotely achievable but requires specific conditions to be met - likely particular SAML configuration states or timing-sensitive request manipulation. Full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact is reported, consistent with an attacker reaching WordPress administrator-level access. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation in the miniOrange OTP Verification WordPress plugin (versions 5.5.1 and earlier) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to elevate their privileges, per a Patchstack advisory. The flaw is rooted in a weak account/OTP verification mechanism (CWE-640) that can be abused without any credentials, and carries a CVSS 9.8 rating reflecting full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but the unauthenticated network vector makes this a high-priority patching candidate.
Privilege escalation in the Service Finder Booking WordPress plugin (versions 6.2 and below) allows any authenticated subscriber-level user to elevate their privileges within the application, resulting in full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. The flaw is network-exploitable with low complexity and requires only a valid subscriber account, making it accessible to any registered user on affected sites. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, though the CVSS 8.8 score reflects the high-impact potential once a low-privileged account is obtained.
Unauthenticated privilege escalation in the MStore API WordPress plugin (versions 4.20.0 and earlier) allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to gain elevated privileges on affected WordPress installations. Rooted in CWE-266 (Incorrect Privilege Assignment), the flaw is reachable over the network without any authentication or user interaction, though elevated attack complexity (AC:H) indicates a specific condition or race condition must be satisfied. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but the full-impact CVSS score of 8.1 reflects the severity of a complete privilege compromise if exploited successfully.
KiviCare WordPress plugin before version 4.5.2 exposes an unauthenticated registration endpoint that fails to enforce role restrictions, permitting any remote attacker to self-register a privileged clinic-staff (doctor) account without credentials. Once registered, the attacker gains full access to patient records, billing data, and clinic management functions. A vendor patch exists at version 4.5.2; no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.
Symlink-following jail escape in the ansible-jailexec FreeBSD connection plugin (versions through 1.3.0) allows a party controlling content inside a managed jail to achieve arbitrary root-owned file writes on the jail host. The put_file method resolves transfer destinations as the jail's filesystem root concatenated with the task's target path, then executes mkdir -p and mv on the host as root - outside the jail's chroot - enabling any symlink planted inside the jail to redirect those writes to arbitrary host paths. An attacker already present inside a managed jail who can anticipate or observe Ansible playbook execution can thereby escape the jail boundary entirely, writing cron jobs, rc.d scripts, or authorized_keys entries to the host and achieving full host compromise. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis; vendor-released patch 2.0.0 is available.
Local privilege escalation in IBM Informix Dynamic Server 14.10 and 15.0 allows any low-privileged local OS user to gain root access by exploiting improper access controls in the setuid-root `oninit` utility. The CVSS vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) confirms a low-complexity local attack requiring no user interaction, resulting in full system compromise. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and this vulnerability is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Privilege escalation in IBM Db2 (data server versions 11.5.0-11.5.9 and 12.1.0-12.1.5) allows an attacker to submit a specially crafted query that bypasses authorization controls and gains elevated database privileges, classified as CWE-285 improper authorization. IBM reported the issue and has published a fix; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not on CISA KEV. EPSS is low at 0.32% (25th percentile) despite the 9.8 CVSS, indicating no observed mass-exploitation activity yet.
Unauthenticated remote crash of rsyslogd is possible through a flaw in the optional imptcp input module, where a crafted input sequence during oversize-frame recovery produces an invalid internal message length and terminates the logging daemon. Systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 are affected only when imptcp is explicitly loaded with a non-default frame delimiting mode; the default imptcp framing and the separate imtcp module are explicitly confirmed unaffected. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing have been identified at time of analysis; CVSS scores this at 7.5 High solely on the basis of network-accessible, unauthenticated availability impact.
Privilege escalation in Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2 lets a namespace-scoped tenant abuse the multicloud-operators-subscription controller as a confused deputy: by crafting Subscription Custom Resources, a namespace-admin causes the controller's highly privileged ServiceAccount to deploy attacker-chosen cluster-scoped resources. This breaks tenant isolation and can yield cluster-wide privilege escalation and arbitrary code execution. Rated CVSS 9.9 (scope-changing), with no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no active exploitation reported (not in CISA KEV).
Privilege escalation in IBM i 7.3 through 7.6 allows remote authenticated attackers to gain elevated privileges by submitting a crafted, client-supplied profile name that bypasses server-side validation. The root cause is improper privilege management (CWE-269) in profile name handling, enabling an attacker with only low-level authenticated access to escalate to higher system privileges. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, though the low attack complexity and high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability make this a serious priority for IBM i environments.
Privilege escalation and arbitrary code execution in Red Hat's multicluster engine (MCE) for Kubernetes lets a low-privileged tenant holding create or update rights on ClusterCurator resources hijack the cluster-curator-controller's service account. Because the CreateJob() function unmarshals the attacker-supplied spec.install.overrideJob raw extension without validation, the injected Job runs with the controller's elevated permissions, enabling cluster-wide secret access and full compromise. Rated CVSS 9.9 by Red Hat; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Privilege escalation in Red Hat's multicluster engine for Kubernetes (MCE) lets a namespace-scoped authenticated user gain cluster-wide control by abusing the cluster-curator-controller. By creating a ClusterCurator custom resource with a specific, attacker-chosen naming convention, the user tricks the controller into minting a cluster-scoped ClusterRoleBinding on their behalf, breaking the namespace isolation boundary. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the CVSS 9.9 rating reflects that a low-privileged tenant can obtain secrets access, manage cluster actions, and destroy hosted clusters or node pools.
Privilege escalation to root authority in IBM i 7.3 through 7.6 is achievable by any authenticated low-privileged user via a remote code execution flaw in the activation engine component. The activation engine executes with unnecessary system privileges (CWE-250), allowing a planted malicious script to run with root authority, resulting in full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, though the vendor has released a patch and the low attack complexity makes this a credible near-term threat for unpatched IBM i environments.
Remote authenticated attackers can execute arbitrary commands on IBM i 7.3 through 7.6 by exploiting improper privilege management (CWE-250), achieving full confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise on affected systems. The CVSS vector of AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N confirms that only a low-privileged account and network reachability are required - no complex preconditions or user interaction needed. IBM has confirmed the vulnerability and released a patch via advisory; no public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation in IBM i (formerly OS/400) releases 7.3 through 7.6 lets a remote authenticated user with low privileges gain higher, potentially all-object, authority by abusing improper authorization checks in the handling of high-authority threads. The flaw is scored CVSS 9.9 because of a scope change (S:C) that lets a foothold on the platform lead to full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is low at 0.24%, but a vendor patch is available.
Privilege escalation in IBM i versions 7.3 through 7.6 via the Navigator for i web-based administration interface allows an authenticated low-privileged user to elevate their session to root and execute arbitrary commands on the system. The CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8 (PR:L, AV:N, AC:L) reflects that exploitation requires only valid credentials and network access to the Navigator for i interface, with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact upon success. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Remote authenticated command execution in IBM i 7.3 through 7.6 stems from improper privilege management during monitor owner reassignment, a specific system management function. An attacker holding low-privileged credentials can exploit this flaw over the network without user interaction to execute arbitrary commands, achieving both high confidentiality and high integrity impact on the affected system. No public exploit code or active exploitation (CISA KEV) has been identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity and authentication barrier make this a credible threat in any environment with broad user access to IBM i.
Privilege escalation via OS command injection in IBM i Navigator for i (versions 7.3 through 7.6) allows any authenticated, low-privileged network user to execute arbitrary OS commands as the root user. The CVSS 8.8 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) confirms this is a low-complexity, network-accessible exploit requiring only a valid user account - no additional privileges or user interaction needed. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity and full CIA impact make this a genuine remediation priority for IBM i environments.
Privilege escalation in IBM WebSphere Application Server - Liberty 17.0.0.3 through 26.0.0.8 allows an authenticated low-privileged user to gain unauthorized access to protected data and functionality when the Liberty collectives feature is in use. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) confirms network-exploitable, low-complexity exploitation requiring only low-level authentication with no user interaction - resulting in high confidentiality and integrity impact. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis; a vendor-released patch is available.
Prompt-injection-driven privilege escalation in CodeWhale 0.8.41-0.8.63 allows an attacker who can place malicious instructions in content the agent ingests to execute arbitrary commands inside an already-approved long-running interactive shell session - such as python3 -i, mysql, ssh, or sudo -i - without triggering any user approval prompt. The root cause is that exec_shell_interact (and its RlmEvalTool counterpart) hardcoded ApprovalRequirement::Auto, overriding the default Required gate that governs code-executing tools. Fixed in version 0.8.64; no public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation and arbitrary code execution in Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes (RHACM) allows an authenticated low-privilege user to hijack the governance-policy container image across managed clusters. By annotating the namespaced ManagedClusterAddOn resource - a permission that may be granted to non-administrative users - the attacker causes the governance-policy-addon-controller to deploy a malicious, attacker-controlled image running with cluster-admin privileges on every managed cluster under the hub's control. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been confirmed at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity and high impact across cluster boundaries make this a prioritized patching target for multi-cluster RHACM deployments.
Privilege escalation in Dell Watchdog Timer Driver versions prior to 2.0.0.1 allows a local low-privileged attacker to gain full system control by abusing an improperly access-controlled IOCTL interface exposed by the kernel driver. The CVSS scope-changed score of 8.8 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C) reflects that exploitation crosses the kernel trust boundary, yielding complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. No public exploit or active exploitation (CISA KEV) has been identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity makes this a meaningful local privilege escalation risk on Dell-equipped systems.
Privilege escalation in The Grid WordPress plugin (versions ≤ 2.7.9.1) permits any authenticated subscriber-level user to elevate their role, effectively granting unauthorized administrative access to the WordPress installation. The vulnerability stems from incorrect privilege assignment (CWE-266), where the plugin fails to properly restrict privileged actions to appropriate roles. With a CVSS score of 8.8 and no special configuration required beyond plugin installation and a valid subscriber account, this represents a meaningful threat to WordPress sites with open user registration. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation in Mozilla Firefox's Enterprise Policies component allows an attacker to gain elevated privileges by subverting administrator-defined policy enforcement, affecting Firefox before 154 and Firefox ESR before 153.1. Mozilla (the reporter) assigned CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management) and the record carries a CVSS 9.8 rating, though the low EPSS score (0.15%, 5th percentile) signals minimal predicted exploitation. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
Privilege escalation in Firefox's Request Handling component exposes all versions prior to 154 (and ESR prior to 153.1) to high-impact compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The flaw carries a CVSS 8.8 score with a network attack vector and no privilege prerequisite, meaning a remote attacker can trigger it by inducing a user to interact with attacker-controlled content. SSVC assessment confirms no active exploitation at time of analysis and rates technical impact as total, while fix versions are confirmed via two Mozilla security advisories.
Privilege escalation via the Application Update component in Mozilla Firefox allows a network-adjacent attacker, with user interaction, to gain elevated privileges with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. All Firefox versions prior to 154 are affected per Mozilla CPE data. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, though the CVSS score of 8.8 and the nature of the update mechanism - which on some platforms (e.g., Windows via the Mozilla Maintenance Service) operates with system-level privileges - make this a meaningful escalation risk.
Privilege escalation in Mozilla Firefox's Downloads API component exposes users on any version prior to Firefox 154 or Firefox ESR 153.1 to high-impact compromise across confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Classified under CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management), the flaw enables an unauthenticated remote attacker to escalate privileges when a user interacts with a crafted download trigger, requiring no prior foothold on the target system. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but Firefox's ubiquitous deployment and the low attack complexity make this a high-priority patch for any organization.
Privilege escalation via invalid pointer dereference in Mozilla Firefox's Graphics component allows a remote attacker to gain elevated privileges within the browser context. Affected versions are all Firefox releases prior to 154 and all Firefox ESR releases prior to 153.1, with patches confirmed in Mozilla advisories mfsa2026-74 and mfsa2026-77. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and CISA's SSVC framework rates exploitation status as none with the attack not automatable, though technical impact is assessed as total.
Privilege escalation via the Shell Integration component in Mozilla Firefox allows a remote unauthenticated attacker - with user interaction - to achieve full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability on affected systems. Affected are all Firefox releases prior to 154 and ESR branches prior to 140.14 and 153.1, as confirmed by Mozilla advisories mfsa2026-74, mfsa2026-76, and mfsa2026-77. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, and SSVC rates exploitation status as none.
Privilege escalation in Firefox's Networking: Cookies component allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges within the browser when a user visits a malicious page, yielding full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. All Firefox releases prior to 154 and both ESR branches prior to 140.14 and 153.1 are affected across all platforms. SSVC rates technical impact as total, but exploitation status is confirmed as none and the attack is not automatable due to the required user interaction; no public exploit or CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis.
Use-after-free memory corruption in Firefox's Canvas2D graphics component enables privilege escalation against any unpatched browser version. Remote unauthenticated attackers can achieve full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact by delivering a malicious web page to a victim using Firefox prior to version 154 (stable) or the affected ESR releases. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the memory corruption class and low attack complexity make this a high-priority patch for both consumer and enterprise Firefox deployments.
Privilege escalation via incorrect boundary conditions in Firefox's Graphics: CanvasWebGL component allows remote attackers to achieve high-impact code execution by luring users to a crafted web page. The flaw affects all Firefox releases prior to version 154 and multiple ESR branches (115.x, 140.x, 153.x), making the exposure broad across both consumer and enterprise deployments. No active exploitation has been confirmed (SSVC: Exploitation: none), but the CVSS 8.8 score and total technical impact classification warrant prompt patching.
Privilege escalation via the Remote Settings Client component affects Mozilla Firefox across all supported mainline and ESR release tracks, with Mozilla assigning the issue CVSS 8.8 High severity. The flaw (CWE-269, Improper Privilege Management) permits a network-based attacker to escalate privileges within the browser context when a user interacts with attacker-controlled content, achieving total confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. No public exploit code exists and CISA has not listed this in KEV, but the simultaneous patching of three ESR branches alongside mainline signals that Mozilla assessed significant breadth of exposure across its install base.
Privilege escalation in Firefox's CanvasWebGL graphics component affects all Firefox releases prior to version 154 and both active ESR branches, enabling a remote attacker to gain full control over confidentiality, integrity, and availability within the browser process. The flaw stems from improper privilege management (CWE-269) in the WebGL canvas rendering pipeline, exploitable by luring a victim to a crafted web page - no authentication or special software is required beyond a standard Firefox installation. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis; however, Mozilla issued three simultaneous security advisories (MFSA2026-74/76/77) addressing all supported release tracks, signaling broad internal severity.
Privilege escalation in Firefox's DOM Navigation component allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to achieve full confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise within the browser process by inducing a user to visit a malicious webpage. All Firefox releases prior to version 154 and all active ESR branches (115.x, 140.x, 153.x) are affected, with Mozilla issuing four simultaneous MFSA advisories (mfsa2026-74 through mfsa2026-77) indicating broad impact across every supported release channel. No public exploit or KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity and zero authentication requirement make this a high-priority patch for all Firefox deployments.
Privilege escalation in Firefox's DOM Networking component allows remote attackers who can lure a user to a malicious webpage to achieve high-impact compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The flaw, rooted in improper privilege management (CWE-269), affects all Firefox releases prior to version 154 and multiple ESR branches, and has been patched across four simultaneous Mozilla advisories (mfsa2026-74 through mfsa2026-77). No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
Privilege escalation in ArcadeDB server (versions 26.7.3 and earlier) allows a low-privileged authenticated user with read-only access to a single database to gain full server-wide administrative control. The flaw stems from the server failing to bind the authenticated principal to asynchronous command worker threads, so a JavaScript command submitted with awaitResponse:false runs with no user context and bypasses the scripting authorization gate entirely. VulnCheck reported the issue; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the mechanics are fully documented in the vendor advisory, making exploitation straightforward.
Privilege escalation in ArcadeDB before 26.8.1 lets a low-privileged authenticated reader escalate to full server administrator via the gRPC transaction interface. Because the server fails to bind the authenticated principal to the gRPC transaction executor thread in beginTransaction, an attacker can call executeCommand with a valid transaction ID to run arbitrary JavaScript that bypasses scripting authorization, ultimately creating server-wide admin accounts. Reported by VulnCheck with a linked GitHub security advisory; no public exploit is identified at time of analysis, and the flaw carries a CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.4.
Vertical privilege escalation in Grav CMS before 2.0.14 lets a delegated administrator holding only the admin.users permission promote an account to super-admin by saving a group with access[admin][super]=true. The core group blueprint omits the required security@: admin.super guard on the access field, so the operator inherits full super-admin capabilities including the task scheduler and arbitrary Twig template evaluation - effectively code execution on the host. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not in CISA KEV, but the fix is confirmed in the vendor GHSA advisory.
Privilege escalation in the Trueview T18061 WiFi 3MP Robot Pan-Tilt Security Camera (firmware Version 1.0) stems from an embedded RSA private key, letting a nearby attacker who recovers or reuses that key gain elevated access to the device. The flaw is classified under CWE-321 (use of a hard-coded cryptographic key), meaning every unit of this model likely shares the same secret key material. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV; EPSS data was not provided.
Privilege escalation in Dokploy prior to version 0.29.6 allows an authenticated user with member:create permission to permanently seize organization ownership by exploiting two authorization logic flaws: the inviteMember tRPC procedure fails to restrict the role parameter to non-owner values, and the user creation service in user.ts permits arbitrary role assignment on self-hosted instances. Because owner roles cannot be demoted through normal application controls once assigned, a successful takeover is irreversible without direct database intervention. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis; vendor-released patch v0.29.6 closes both vulnerable code paths.
Privilege escalation in Red Hat Multicluster Engine for Kubernetes (MCE) lets a privileged service account on a managed spoke cluster submit a forged Certificate Signing Request that the managedcluster-import-controller auto-approves, yielding administrative credentials on the central hub cluster. The controller's auto-approval path neither inspects the CSR signer name nor decodes the PEM-encoded x509 request, so an attacker who already controls a spoke can pivot to full control of the hub and, by extension, every cluster it manages. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is low (0.22%, 12th percentile) and CISA SSVC records no observed exploitation.
Service account role escalation in SkyPilot grants any authenticated user full administrative control by exploiting missing authorization enforcement on the permission update API. The server-side handler in sky/users/server.py accepted admin role assignments from any valid user without verifying the caller held admin privileges - a direct CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management) failure. All versions are affected per wildcard CPE; a patch commit is available upstream but no formally tagged release has been confirmed. No active exploitation is confirmed at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation in Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2 allows any attacker with local pod execution under the `search-serviceaccount` service account to impersonate `system:masters` and gain full cluster-admin control. The `search-serviceaccount` RBAC bindings grant cluster-wide `impersonate` permissions on users and groups - a grossly over-privileged configuration that collapses the entire cluster's security boundary if any pod running under this account is compromised. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and this CVE is not in CISA KEV, but the CVSS scope change (S:C) and full CIA triad impact (C:H/I:H/A:H) accurately reflect the catastrophic blast radius of successful exploitation.
Local privilege escalation in Zephyr RTOS (versions 4.0.0-4.4.1 with CONFIG_USERSPACE enabled) allows an unprivileged user-mode thread to execute arbitrary code in kernel supervisor mode by supplying forged struct device pointers with attacker-controlled API function tables to the flash_copy() system call. The syscall verifier z_vrfy_flash_copy() validated the output buffer but omitted the K_SYSCALL_DRIVER_FLASH object validation for src_dev and dst_dev that every sibling flash syscall enforces - a unique gap in the trust boundary that the kernel implementation blindly dereferences in supervisor context. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis; a vendor-released patch is confirmed in commit 1b1ecdc4 and available in Zephyr 4.4.2.
LDAP filter injection in Roundcube Webmail arises from unescaped substitution variables (`%u`, `%fu`, `%d`) embedded directly into LDAP `search_filter` configuration strings, affecting all 1.6.x releases before 1.6.18 and 1.7.x releases before 1.7.3. An authenticated user whose login credentials contain crafted LDAP metacharacters can manipulate server-side directory queries, potentially disclosing LDAP directory contents or escalating privileges by subverting group membership lookups. No active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis (SSVC: Exploitation none), though the low attack complexity and network accessibility warrant prompt patching for any LDAP-backed deployment.
Remote content blocking evasion in Roundcube Webmail before 1.6.18 and 1.7.x before 1.7.3 lets a crafted SVG image with an unclosed url() in a FuncIRI attribute slip past the remote-image blocker, so external resources load when a victim views a malicious email. This exposes the recipient's IP, mail-client fingerprint, and email-open telemetry to the sender, and per the advisory may aid further information disclosure or privilege escalation. It has a vendor patch and no public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is low (0.31%) and CISA SSVC rates exploitation as none.
IMAP command injection in Roundcube Webmail before 1.6.18 and 1.7.x before 1.7.3 enables authenticated remote attackers to disclose information or escalate privileges by exploiting a desynchronization between mail search operations and LITERAL+ byte-count handling. The flaw was reported by Zach Hanley of Horizon3.ai and is classified as CWE-77 (Command Injection), with the vendor releasing patched versions 1.6.18 and 1.7.3 on 2026-08-09. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, though the C:H/I:H CVSS impact and the researcher's track record for producing working exploits elevate the urgency of patching.
Privilege escalation in GAPTEQ Designer v3.5 allows a remote attacker to abuse the Company Manager role to gain elevated privileges, per CWE-269 (improper privilege management). Publicly available exploit code exists (referenced on GitHub), and CISA's SSVC framework rates the technical impact as total and the flaw as automatable, though it is not listed in CISA KEV and EPSS remains low (0.21%, 11th percentile). The scope of affected deployments is limited to the GAPTEQ low-code application platform rather than a widely embedded library.
Privilege escalation in Squirro Cognitive Search before v3.14.2 lets a remote attacker submit a crafted request to gain elevated privileges within the enterprise search platform. The flaw is rated CVSS 9.8 with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, and CISA's SSVC framework marks it automatable with total technical impact. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS estimates near-term exploitation probability at just 0.21% (11th percentile).
Privilege escalation in the All-in-One WP Migration and Backup WordPress plugin (versions prior to 7.108) on multisite installations allows subsite administrators to execute arbitrary PHP code across the entire WordPress network. The vulnerability stems from missing access control enforcement on the migration import feature, which should be restricted to network-level administrators but is accessible to lower-privileged subsite admins. A publicly available exploit exists per WPScan and SSVC classification; however, EPSS sits at only 0.14% (4th percentile), and CISA KEV does not list this as actively exploited at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation in the Frontend Admin by DynamiApps WordPress plugin (all versions through 3.29.9) lets attackers take over the default administrator account by overwriting its password or email. The flaw stems from an authorization check that is silently skipped when the target user ID is a non-numeric string, which WordPress later coerces to integer 1 (the default admin). Where a public-facing frontend user form is configured the attack is fully unauthenticated; otherwise any subscriber-level account suffices. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the CVSS is 9.8 (Critical) and it was reported by Wordfence.
Unauthenticated privilege escalation in the Pods - Custom Content Types and Fields plugin for WordPress (all versions through 3.3.9) lets remote attackers bypass every authorization guard on the pods_admin AJAX router and perform administrator-level actions. Because failed checks return false instead of halting execution, an attacker with no account can promote themselves to Administrator or overwrite any user's password - including the site owner's - leading to full site takeover. Reported by Wordfence; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the root cause is precisely described.
Privilege escalation in the Real Estate Manager Pro WordPress plugin (all versions ≤ 12.8.6) allows authenticated Subscriber-level users to seize full Administrator control of a WordPress site. The flaw in `allow_attachment_actions()` confuses WordPress user IDs with media attachment IDs during capability checks, enabling a low-privileged user to edit an administrator account when those integer IDs collide. No confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV) has been recorded, but the Subscriber-level access bar makes this a practical threat on any multi-user WordPress installation where the plugin is deployed.
Privilege escalation in the Wholesale Market WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 2.2.2) allows any authenticated user with Subscriber-level access or higher to elevate their account to Administrator by supplying an arbitrary role name to a poorly validated AJAX endpoint. The ced_wholesale_request_send_callback() handler accepts a client-controlled role_required POST parameter and passes it directly to WP_User::add_role() without an allowlist, relying solely on a nonce that is freely exposed to all authenticated users via wp_localize_script. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity combined with Subscriber-level access requirement makes this a realistic and attractive target on sites with the vulnerable configuration option active.
Privilege escalation in the bLoyal: Loyalty & Promotions WordPress plugin allows any subscriber-level authenticated user to overwrite the plugin's configured Loyalty Engine API URL via unprotected AJAX actions, then trigger an unauthenticated REST route to force the plugin to authenticate against an attacker-controlled server and invoke wp_set_auth_cookie() with an arbitrary WordPress user ID, yielding full administrator access. All plugin versions through 3.1.611.78 are affected across every WordPress installation running the plugin. No public exploit code identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the low barrier to entry - any subscriber account suffices - elevates practical risk significantly on sites with open registration.
Privilege escalation in the Propovoice WordPress plugin (all versions through 1.7.8) allows authenticated users holding the plugin-granted ndpv_manager role to create new WordPress accounts with full administrator privileges. The REST endpoint backing the team member create() function passes the user-supplied role parameter directly to WP_User::set_role() without validating it against an allowlist of safe roles or checking the WordPress promote_users capability. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but the attack surface is broader than typical authenticated vulnerabilities because the ndpv_manager role is granted by the plugin itself - not the site administrator - expanding who can trigger the escalation.
Elevation of privilege in the Microsoft Malware Protection Engine (Microsoft Defender), publicly named 'ShieldBreak', allows a locally authenticated low-privileged user to gain high-level system access. The CVSS vector confirms a local, low-complexity attack requiring only low privileges and no user interaction, with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. Proof-of-concept exploit code exists (E:P in the temporal vector), and Microsoft has acknowledged the vulnerability publicly.
Privilege escalation via a deterministic use-after-free in Zephyr RTOS's dynamic kernel-object disposal path affects any firmware build compiled with both CONFIG_USERSPACE and CONFIG_DYNAMIC_OBJECTS enabled. An unprivileged user thread can arm a dynamically-allocated k_timer, then release its last permission - causing unref_check() to free the timer's backing storage while the embedded struct _timeout dnode remains linked in the global _timeout_q; when the timer subsequently fires, z_timer_expiration_handler() dereferences and writes the freed - and potentially reallocated - kernel heap at ISR privilege. The bug constitutes a reliable sandbox-escape memory-corruption primitive scored CVSS 8.8 with scope change (S:C), and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.
Command injection (CWE-78) in Tenable Security Center versions prior to 6.9.0 enables a local attacker with write access to a specific configuration file to achieve arbitrary code execution at elevated privilege levels, with no user interaction required after file modification. Self-disclosed by Tenable and remediated in Security Center 6.9.0, as documented in advisory TNS-2026-22. No public exploit code has been identified and this vulnerability does not appear in the CISA KEV catalog at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation in Tenable Security Center allows an authenticated Security Manager to manage users outside their authorized group scope, bypassing the platform's intended group-based access controls. The flaw affects all Security Center versions prior to 6.9.0 and is exploitable over the network by any user holding the Security Manager role with at least one 'manage user' permission grant. No public exploit code has been identified and this vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, though the vendor has self-reported it and released a patch via advisory TNS-2026-22.
Privilege escalation in Dell Wyse Management Suite (WMS) versions prior to 2605.0.2 enables a local low-privileged attacker to gain elevated system control by exploiting incorrectly set default permissions on files or resources managed by the WMS platform (CWE-269). The CVSS vector confirms a scope change (S:C) with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, meaning a successful exploit transcends the initially compromised process context. Dell has released a fix in version 2605.0.2 via advisory DSA-2026-329; no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation in Dell Wyse Management Suite (WMS) versions prior to 2605.0.2 allows a low-privileged local attacker to fully compromise the host system through improper deserialization of untrusted data. The vulnerability carries a CVSS 7.8 High score with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact scoped to the vulnerable system. No public exploit code has been identified and EPSS places this at the 0th percentile for near-term exploitation likelihood; however, SSVC rates the technical impact as total, meaning successful exploitation results in complete system compromise for any attacker already holding local access.
Privilege escalation in Akaunting versions 3.1.21 and earlier allows any low-privileged authenticated user to self-assign the administrator role, gaining full platform control. The flaw resides in the UpdateUser job, which invokes roles()->sync() on caller-supplied role IDs without verifying whether the requesting user holds authorization to assign roles - exploitable by any account holding the default update-auth-profile permission. No public exploit has been confirmed at time of analysis, but the low exploitation barrier (authenticated, no special config) and full admin impact make this a high-priority remediation target.
Privilege escalation in getgrav/grav-plugin-api versions 1.0.6 through 1.0.11 allows any holder of a scoped, read-only API key to perform super-admin write operations - including rewriting group ACL maps to elevate arbitrary accounts to super-admin. The flaw exists because four privileged write endpoints (GroupsController, AccountsConfigController, PreferencesController, DashboardWidgetController) authorize via an isSuperAdmin() early-return that entirely skips requirePermission(), the only function that enforces scope caps on API keys. A leaked CI or monitoring key with a minimal scope such as api.pages.read is sufficient to achieve full administrative compromise. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and a patch is available in version 1.0.13.
Remote code execution in Grav API plugin versions before 1.0.13 is achievable by any attacker holding a scoped api.config.write API key. The ConfigController fails to enforce its super-scope gates, permitting scoped keys to overwrite scheduler.custom_jobs configuration that Grav subsequently executes via the Symfony Process component. A public exploit exists per SSVC data, the attack is rated automatable, and technical impact is assessed as total - making this a high-priority patching target despite a low EPSS score.
Privilege escalation in the Grav API plugin (getgrav/grav-plugin-api) before 1.0.13 allows an authenticated API key holder with api.users.write scope to silently bypass the scope-cap enforcement and self-elevate to super-administrator. The flaw lies in UsersController's create() and update() methods, which validate scope caps only for api.users.write actions but fall back to a bare isSuperAdmin() check - reading access.api.super from the parent account rather than the key's own scope - when granting super privileges, allowing a limited key on a super account to mint or promote unrestricted admin accounts. A proof-of-concept exists per SSVC assessment, CISA rates exploitation as automatable with total technical impact, and a vendor-released patch is available at version 1.0.13.
Privilege escalation in Grav Plugin API before 1.0.13 allows an attacker controlling a minimal api.users.write API key - issued under a super admin account - to craft invitation records that embed super-admin access flags, which are written verbatim to any account that accepts the invitation. The root cause is CWE-269 improper privilege management: InvitationsController's strip-super and accept-groups decisions evaluate isSuperAdmin() against the owning account rather than against the API key's declared scope, so a deliberately restricted key silently retains the owner's super-admin authority for these checks. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Privilege escalation in the Essential Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin (versions 5.8.6 through before 6.7.2) permits unauthenticated remote attackers to self-register accounts with arbitrary WordPress roles, up to and including administrator, by supplying crafted values in user registration fields that overwrite reserved account attributes. The attack is gated on a non-default site configuration - specifically, a custom profile registration field with a particular label must have been set up by the site administrator - meaning only a subset of the estimated multi-million plugin install base is realistically exposed. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing have been identified at time of analysis, though the unauthenticated path to full admin access makes affected sites a critical-priority remediation target.
Unauthenticated account takeover in the Wishlist Member WordPress membership plugin (versions up to and including 3.34.1) lets remote attackers seize any existing account, including administrators. The wpm_register() function verifies the registration cookie only against the GET reg parameter while trusting the POST mergewith and wpm_id parameters, so an attacker who supplies a victim's numeric user ID as mergewith causes wp_update_user() (plus a direct $wpdb query) to overwrite that account's username, password, email, and name with attacker values while suppressing WordPress notification emails. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but the CVSS 9.8 rating and unauthenticated network vector make this a critical-priority issue for any site running the plugin.
Missing authentication in OpenChoreo's cluster-gateway internal API lets any network-reachable caller invoke /api/proxy/, /api/exec/, and /api/wirelogs/ without a client certificate or token, exposing tenant Kubernetes Secrets and allowing workload mutation and arbitrary command execution across every connected data plane. All deployments before 1.0.3, 1.1.3, and 1.2.0-rc.2 are affected, and the fix introduces an opt-in --internal-mtls mode plus a dedicated internal CA. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV; risk is amplified because the internal listener effectively brokers cross-tenant, multi-cluster control-plane access.
SSH key injection in FreePBX versions 17.0.5.34 through 17.0.10.x allows authenticated administrators to escalate from web application control to persistent OS-level shell access on the underlying host. The publicKeySave AJAX endpoint in Backup.class.php appends caller-supplied SSH public keys to /home/asterisk/.ssh/authorized_keys without reliably enforcing backup-only command restrictions or source IP constraints, granting the asterisk OS user unrestricted interactive shell access. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis; a vendor-released patch is available in version 17.0.11.
Privilege escalation in Budibase's public role-assignment API allows an app-scoped builder to grant themselves or other users builder access - or arbitrary data-plane roles - across any app in a shared tenant. Versions prior to 3.39.24 are affected; the CVSS score of 8.8 (PR:L) reflects that a low-privilege authenticated account is sufficient, with no user interaction or elevated complexity required. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing is identified at time of analysis, but the vulnerability is straightforwardly reproducible given the published commit diff and GHSA advisory detail.
Privilege escalation in IBM i versions 7.3 through 7.6 allows a local authenticated attacker to abuse improper authorization controls in the Navigator for i debugger component to access or manipulate sensitive system data, or create new profiles with elevated privileges. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-285 (Improper Authorization), indicating the debugger fails to enforce sufficient privilege checks before granting access to sensitive operations. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis, though SSVC assesses the technical impact as total should exploitation occur.
Privilege escalation in IBM i (7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6) lets a remote, authenticated attacker gain elevated privileges by abusing improper validation of pointers read from Java-controlled addresses, giving full compromise of the affected component and a scope-changing impact beyond it. IBM assigned a critical CVSS 9.9 (S:C) despite requiring low privileges. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and CISA SSVC records exploitation status as none, so this is a patch-worthy critical without evidence of active abuse yet.
Security-restriction bypass in IBM i (the operating system for IBM Power servers, formerly OS/400) versions 7.3 through 7.6 lets a remote attacker abuse improper validation of user-controlled addresses to elevate privileges and cross a security boundary. Vendor scoring rates this a maximum-severity, unauthenticated network flaw (CVSS 10.0, scope-changed), though there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS exploitation probability is low (0.33%). IBM published a fix, and CISA's SSVC framework currently marks exploitation as 'none' with a 'total' technical impact.
Thread authority swap mismanagement in IBM i 7.3 through 7.6 enables a low-privileged local attacker to gain elevated system authorities, including potentially *ALLOBJ-equivalent access. The CVSS scope change (S:C) confirms that successful exploitation extends privilege impact beyond the attacker's own user profile, threatening the broader system partition. No public exploit or active CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis; risk is driven by low attack complexity and the critical role IBM i plays in regulated enterprise environments.
Arbitrary file read in HashiCorp Vault Secrets Operator versions 1.3.0 through 1.4.1 lets a low-privileged Kubernetes tenant abuse the AppRole authentication's SecretIDPath configuration to read files from the operator pod's filesystem and exfiltrate their contents to an attacker-controlled endpoint, enabling privilege escalation across the cluster. Because the operator pod typically holds credentials and tokens spanning multiple tenants, a single limited-RBAC tenant can cross trust boundaries (CVSS scope change), yielding a 9.6 rating. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity and multi-tenant blast radius make this a high-priority patch.
Privilege escalation in IBM i 7.3 through 7.6 allows remote authenticated users to gain unauthorized elevated privileges via improper privilege management. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) confirms network-reachable exploitation requiring only low-level credentials, with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the affected system. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing is identified at time of analysis, but a vendor-released patch is available.
Privilege escalation in Kibana Fleet allows an authenticated low-privileged user to bypass integration-scoped authorization controls by exploiting a logic flaw in how policy update requests are validated (CWE-863). An operator holding only the Elastic Defend endpoint policy management role can craft a Fleet API update request that substitutes a different integration type into an existing endpoint policy they control, because Fleet evaluates the authorization check against the stored policy's original integration rather than the replacement integration supplied in the request. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but the vendor (Elastic) has issued advisory ESA-2026-127 with patched releases.
Privilege escalation in Kibana arises from insufficient CSRF protection in the Vega visualization engine, affecting all versions prior to 8.19.20 and 9.4.5. Any Kibana user with visualization creation rights can embed a specially crafted Vega specification that, when rendered by a higher-privileged user's browser, silently issues authenticated HTTP requests to Kibana under the victim's session credentials. No public exploit code has been identified and no CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis, though the low attack complexity and widely deployed nature of the product make this a meaningful remediation priority.
Privilege escalation in Elastic Kibana's Agent Builder component (versions 9.4.0-9.4.3) allows authenticated low-privileged users to create and execute Agent tools that invoke Kibana features they are not authorized to access, bypassing the platform's feature-level access controls. The Agent Builder omits authorization verification against the target feature's required privilege set before tool creation and execution, enabling cross-feature privilege escalation and potential disclosure of sensitive data. No public exploit code exists and EPSS is 0.25%, but SSVC rates technical impact as total, making this a meaningful risk in multi-tenant or role-segmented Kibana deployments.
Local privilege escalation in IBM i versions 7.3 through 7.6 allows an authenticated local user with low-level system privileges to gain elevated authority due to improper privilege management (CWE-269). The CVSS vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) confirms exploitation requires no special conditions beyond existing local access, with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact upon success. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and IBM has released a patch via its support portal.
Privilege escalation in Lenovo Dock Manager exposes local authenticated users to full system compromise via an improperly protected cryptographic key, discovered during Lenovo's own internal security assessment. An attacker with a standard local user account can extract the weakly protected key and leverage it to elevate privileges on the affected endpoint. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis; Lenovo has released a patch via advisory LEN-223470.
Privilege escalation in Lenovo Dock Manager allows a local authenticated user to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges by exploiting improper file or directory permissions (CWE-276). The flaw was identified during Lenovo's own internal security assessment, suggesting proactive vendor discovery rather than external researcher or attacker-driven disclosure. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the local-only attack vector (AV:L, PR:L) meaningfully constrains real-world exposure compared to network-exploitable vulnerabilities, though enterprise environments with shared Lenovo workstations should treat this as a genuine privilege escalation risk.
Symlink race condition in rsync before 3.5.0 enables local privilege escalation by allowing an attacker to redirect ACL and extended attribute application to arbitrary files outside the intended destination tree. A low-privileged local attacker exploits the timing window between rsync's file write and the subsequent acl_set_file() or lsetxattr() call by substituting a crafted symlink at a predictable destination path, causing rsync to stamp permissions onto unintended files. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV; however, the CVSS 4.0 score of 7.2 reflects genuine high confidentiality and integrity impact when successfully timed.
Symlink following in rsync before 3.5.0 enables local privilege escalation by allowing a low-privileged attacker to redirect ancillary file writes - such as log files, batch files, or daemon statistics - to arbitrary filesystem locations. Affected installations are those where rsync executes with elevated privileges, specifically setuid binaries or privileged daemon configurations, making the impact proportional to how widely such configurations are deployed. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but the CVSS 4.0 score of 8.5 and the designation of v3.5.0 as a 'major security release' by the rsync maintainers signal this is treated as a high-severity finding.
Privilege escalation in the Directories Pro WordPress plugin (versions <= 2.0.5) allows a subscriber-level authenticated user to gain higher-level privileges within the WordPress installation. Reported by Patchstack and classified under CWE-266 (Incorrect Privilege Assignment), this flaw exposes sites using the plugin for directory listings to unauthorized data access and content manipulation. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, though the network-accessible attack surface warrants prompt patching.
Privilege escalation in the WooCommerce-focused "SMS Alert Order Notifications" WordPress plugin (versions 3.9.7 and earlier) lets an unauthenticated remote attacker gain elevated privileges on the site. The flaw stems from incorrect privilege handling (CWE-266) and, per its CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), is remotely reachable without authentication or user interaction, yielding full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but the 9.8 base score and unauthenticated nature make it a serious, near-full-compromise risk.
Unauthenticated privilege escalation in the miniOrange SAML SP Single Sign On WordPress plugin (versions ≤ 5.4.3) allows network-accessible attackers to elevate their privileges without any prior authentication. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N) indicates exploitation is remotely achievable but requires specific conditions to be met - likely particular SAML configuration states or timing-sensitive request manipulation. Full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact is reported, consistent with an attacker reaching WordPress administrator-level access. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation in the miniOrange OTP Verification WordPress plugin (versions 5.5.1 and earlier) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to elevate their privileges, per a Patchstack advisory. The flaw is rooted in a weak account/OTP verification mechanism (CWE-640) that can be abused without any credentials, and carries a CVSS 9.8 rating reflecting full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but the unauthenticated network vector makes this a high-priority patching candidate.
Privilege escalation in the Service Finder Booking WordPress plugin (versions 6.2 and below) allows any authenticated subscriber-level user to elevate their privileges within the application, resulting in full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. The flaw is network-exploitable with low complexity and requires only a valid subscriber account, making it accessible to any registered user on affected sites. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, though the CVSS 8.8 score reflects the high-impact potential once a low-privileged account is obtained.
Unauthenticated privilege escalation in the MStore API WordPress plugin (versions 4.20.0 and earlier) allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to gain elevated privileges on affected WordPress installations. Rooted in CWE-266 (Incorrect Privilege Assignment), the flaw is reachable over the network without any authentication or user interaction, though elevated attack complexity (AC:H) indicates a specific condition or race condition must be satisfied. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but the full-impact CVSS score of 8.1 reflects the severity of a complete privilege compromise if exploited successfully.
KiviCare WordPress plugin before version 4.5.2 exposes an unauthenticated registration endpoint that fails to enforce role restrictions, permitting any remote attacker to self-register a privileged clinic-staff (doctor) account without credentials. Once registered, the attacker gains full access to patient records, billing data, and clinic management functions. A vendor patch exists at version 4.5.2; no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.
Symlink-following jail escape in the ansible-jailexec FreeBSD connection plugin (versions through 1.3.0) allows a party controlling content inside a managed jail to achieve arbitrary root-owned file writes on the jail host. The put_file method resolves transfer destinations as the jail's filesystem root concatenated with the task's target path, then executes mkdir -p and mv on the host as root - outside the jail's chroot - enabling any symlink planted inside the jail to redirect those writes to arbitrary host paths. An attacker already present inside a managed jail who can anticipate or observe Ansible playbook execution can thereby escape the jail boundary entirely, writing cron jobs, rc.d scripts, or authorized_keys entries to the host and achieving full host compromise. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis; vendor-released patch 2.0.0 is available.
Local privilege escalation in IBM Informix Dynamic Server 14.10 and 15.0 allows any low-privileged local OS user to gain root access by exploiting improper access controls in the setuid-root `oninit` utility. The CVSS vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) confirms a low-complexity local attack requiring no user interaction, resulting in full system compromise. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and this vulnerability is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Privilege escalation in IBM Db2 (data server versions 11.5.0-11.5.9 and 12.1.0-12.1.5) allows an attacker to submit a specially crafted query that bypasses authorization controls and gains elevated database privileges, classified as CWE-285 improper authorization. IBM reported the issue and has published a fix; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not on CISA KEV. EPSS is low at 0.32% (25th percentile) despite the 9.8 CVSS, indicating no observed mass-exploitation activity yet.
Unauthenticated remote crash of rsyslogd is possible through a flaw in the optional imptcp input module, where a crafted input sequence during oversize-frame recovery produces an invalid internal message length and terminates the logging daemon. Systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 are affected only when imptcp is explicitly loaded with a non-default frame delimiting mode; the default imptcp framing and the separate imtcp module are explicitly confirmed unaffected. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing have been identified at time of analysis; CVSS scores this at 7.5 High solely on the basis of network-accessible, unauthenticated availability impact.
Privilege escalation in Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2 lets a namespace-scoped tenant abuse the multicloud-operators-subscription controller as a confused deputy: by crafting Subscription Custom Resources, a namespace-admin causes the controller's highly privileged ServiceAccount to deploy attacker-chosen cluster-scoped resources. This breaks tenant isolation and can yield cluster-wide privilege escalation and arbitrary code execution. Rated CVSS 9.9 (scope-changing), with no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no active exploitation reported (not in CISA KEV).
Privilege escalation in IBM i 7.3 through 7.6 allows remote authenticated attackers to gain elevated privileges by submitting a crafted, client-supplied profile name that bypasses server-side validation. The root cause is improper privilege management (CWE-269) in profile name handling, enabling an attacker with only low-level authenticated access to escalate to higher system privileges. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, though the low attack complexity and high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability make this a serious priority for IBM i environments.
Privilege escalation and arbitrary code execution in Red Hat's multicluster engine (MCE) for Kubernetes lets a low-privileged tenant holding create or update rights on ClusterCurator resources hijack the cluster-curator-controller's service account. Because the CreateJob() function unmarshals the attacker-supplied spec.install.overrideJob raw extension without validation, the injected Job runs with the controller's elevated permissions, enabling cluster-wide secret access and full compromise. Rated CVSS 9.9 by Red Hat; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Privilege escalation in Red Hat's multicluster engine for Kubernetes (MCE) lets a namespace-scoped authenticated user gain cluster-wide control by abusing the cluster-curator-controller. By creating a ClusterCurator custom resource with a specific, attacker-chosen naming convention, the user tricks the controller into minting a cluster-scoped ClusterRoleBinding on their behalf, breaking the namespace isolation boundary. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the CVSS 9.9 rating reflects that a low-privileged tenant can obtain secrets access, manage cluster actions, and destroy hosted clusters or node pools.
Privilege escalation to root authority in IBM i 7.3 through 7.6 is achievable by any authenticated low-privileged user via a remote code execution flaw in the activation engine component. The activation engine executes with unnecessary system privileges (CWE-250), allowing a planted malicious script to run with root authority, resulting in full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, though the vendor has released a patch and the low attack complexity makes this a credible near-term threat for unpatched IBM i environments.
Remote authenticated attackers can execute arbitrary commands on IBM i 7.3 through 7.6 by exploiting improper privilege management (CWE-250), achieving full confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise on affected systems. The CVSS vector of AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N confirms that only a low-privileged account and network reachability are required - no complex preconditions or user interaction needed. IBM has confirmed the vulnerability and released a patch via advisory; no public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation in IBM i (formerly OS/400) releases 7.3 through 7.6 lets a remote authenticated user with low privileges gain higher, potentially all-object, authority by abusing improper authorization checks in the handling of high-authority threads. The flaw is scored CVSS 9.9 because of a scope change (S:C) that lets a foothold on the platform lead to full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is low at 0.24%, but a vendor patch is available.
Privilege escalation in IBM i versions 7.3 through 7.6 via the Navigator for i web-based administration interface allows an authenticated low-privileged user to elevate their session to root and execute arbitrary commands on the system. The CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8 (PR:L, AV:N, AC:L) reflects that exploitation requires only valid credentials and network access to the Navigator for i interface, with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact upon success. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Remote authenticated command execution in IBM i 7.3 through 7.6 stems from improper privilege management during monitor owner reassignment, a specific system management function. An attacker holding low-privileged credentials can exploit this flaw over the network without user interaction to execute arbitrary commands, achieving both high confidentiality and high integrity impact on the affected system. No public exploit code or active exploitation (CISA KEV) has been identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity and authentication barrier make this a credible threat in any environment with broad user access to IBM i.
Privilege escalation via OS command injection in IBM i Navigator for i (versions 7.3 through 7.6) allows any authenticated, low-privileged network user to execute arbitrary OS commands as the root user. The CVSS 8.8 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) confirms this is a low-complexity, network-accessible exploit requiring only a valid user account - no additional privileges or user interaction needed. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity and full CIA impact make this a genuine remediation priority for IBM i environments.
Privilege escalation in IBM WebSphere Application Server - Liberty 17.0.0.3 through 26.0.0.8 allows an authenticated low-privileged user to gain unauthorized access to protected data and functionality when the Liberty collectives feature is in use. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) confirms network-exploitable, low-complexity exploitation requiring only low-level authentication with no user interaction - resulting in high confidentiality and integrity impact. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis; a vendor-released patch is available.
