Authentication Bypass
Authentication bypass attacks exploit flaws in the verification mechanisms that control access to systems and applications.
How It Works
Authentication bypass attacks exploit flaws in the verification mechanisms that control access to systems and applications. Instead of cracking passwords through brute force, attackers manipulate the authentication process itself to gain unauthorized entry. This typically occurs through one of several pathways: exploiting hardcoded credentials embedded in source code or configuration files, manipulating parameters in authentication requests to skip verification steps, or leveraging broken session management that fails to properly validate user identity.
The attack flow often begins with reconnaissance to identify authentication endpoints and their underlying logic. Attackers may probe for default administrative credentials that were never changed, test whether certain URL paths bypass login requirements entirely, or intercept and modify authentication tokens to escalate privileges. In multi-step authentication processes, flaws in state management can allow attackers to complete only partial verification steps while still gaining full access.
More sophisticated variants exploit single sign-on (SSO) or OAuth implementations where misconfigurations in trust relationships allow attackers to forge authentication assertions. Parameter tampering—such as changing a "role=user" field to "role=admin" in a request—can trick poorly designed systems into granting elevated access without proper verification.
Impact
- Complete account takeover — attackers gain full control of user accounts, including administrative accounts, without knowing legitimate credentials
- Unauthorized data access — ability to view, modify, or exfiltrate sensitive information including customer data, financial records, and intellectual property
- System-wide compromise — admin-level access enables installation of backdoors, modification of security controls, and complete infrastructure takeover
- Lateral movement — bypassed authentication provides a foothold for moving deeper into networks and accessing additional systems
- Compliance violations — unauthorized access triggers breach notification requirements and regulatory penalties
Real-World Examples
CrushFTP suffered a critical authentication bypass allowing attackers to access file-sharing functionality without any credentials. The vulnerability enabled direct server-side template injection, leading to remote code execution on affected systems. Attackers actively exploited this in the wild to establish persistent access to enterprise file servers.
Palo Alto's Expedition migration tool contained a flaw permitting attackers to reset administrative credentials without authentication. This allowed complete takeover of the migration environment, potentially exposing network configurations and security policies being transferred between systems.
SolarWinds Web Help Desk (CVE-2024-28987) shipped with hardcoded internal credentials that could not be changed through normal administrative functions. Attackers discovering these credentials gained full administrative access to helpdesk systems containing sensitive organizational information and user data.
Mitigation
- Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) — requires attackers to compromise additional verification factors beyond bypassed primary authentication
- Eliminate hardcoded credentials — use secure credential management systems and rotate all default credentials during deployment
- Enforce authentication on all endpoints — verify every request requires valid authentication; no "hidden" administrative paths should exist
- Implement proper session management — use cryptographically secure session tokens, validate on server-side, enforce timeout policies
- Apply principle of least privilege — limit damage by ensuring even authenticated users only access necessary resources
- Regular security testing — conduct penetration testing specifically targeting authentication logic and flows
Recent CVEs (37454)
Agent impersonation in Woodpecker CI 3.0.0 through 3.14.0 allows any authenticated agent to assume the identity of any other agent on the same server by injecting a forged agent_id into outgoing gRPC metadata. The server validates the JWT correctly but then trusts the client-supplied agent_id over the cryptographically verified one, enabling cross-tenant job hijacking and integrity compromise of CI pipelines. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
Authentication bypass in Zitadel identity platform (versions 3.0.0-3.4.11 and 4.0.0-4.15.1) allows an attacker who has obtained a victim's authorization code, refresh token, or device authorization grant to redeem it under a different OAuth client registered on the same instance, because the server fails to validate the client_id binding required by RFC 6749 §4.1.3. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; CVSS 7.4 with high attack complexity reflects the requirement that the attacker first intercept the code or token through a separate weakness such as XSS, log exposure, or referrer leakage.
Multipart form-data field injection in the npm package http-proxy-middleware (versions 3.0.4-3.0.6 and 4.0.0-4.1.0) lets remote attackers smuggle additional form parts past gateway-side validation by embedding CRLF sequences in body values, causing the proxy and backend to parse different field sets. The flaw lives in fixRequestBody's handlerFormDataBodyData helper, which concatenates user-controlled keys and values directly into the multipart wire format without neutralizing \r\n. Publicly available exploit code exists in the GHSA advisory, but no public exploit identified as actively used in the wild and no CISA KEV listing.
Authorization bypass in Google's MCP Toolbox for Databases (googleapis/mcp-toolbox) allows authenticated low-privilege clients to invoke high-privilege tools by selecting a legacy MCP protocol version. The flaw stems from missing scopesRequired enforcement in the 2025-06-18, 2025-03-26, and 2024-11-05 protocol handlers, and is reachable simply by omitting the MCP-Protocol-Version header so the server falls back to the vulnerable 2024-11-05 default. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the upstream fix (PR #3335) confirms the issue and its trivial triggering condition.
Authentication bypass in googleapis/mcp-toolbox allows remote unauthenticated attackers to gain access by presenting opaque OAuth tokens issued by unauthorized identity providers. The flaw lives in validateOpaqueToken's claim-checking logic, which silently skips issuer validation when an OAuth 2.0 introspection response omits the optional iss field. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the upstream fix in PR #3360 confirms the defect and CVSS 4.0 scores it 9.3 (Critical).
Authentication bypass in googleapis/mcp-toolbox lets remote unauthenticated attackers reach protected tools and backing data sources by submitting an OAuth 2.0 introspection response that omits the mandatory 'active' field. Because validateOpaqueToken stores Active as *bool and only rejects when the pointer is non-nil and false, a nil value falls through as authorized. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the CVSS 4.0 score of 9.3 and trivial logic flaw make this a priority fix.
Persistent local denial of service in Google Android (Wear OS) is possible due to a missing permission check declared in AndroidManifest.xml, allowing a co-resident unprivileged app to invoke a protected component and render device functionality unavailable. No user interaction or elevated privileges are required, but exploitation is local rather than remote despite the headline CVSS 4.0 score of 10.0. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
Hostname validation bypass in Node.js (versions 22.22.3, 24.16.0, and 26.3.0) lets attackers smuggle embedded NUL bytes through the dns and net subsystems, truncating a hostname after the NUL so that application-level allowlists, SNI checks, or destination filters validate one host while the runtime resolves or connects to another. The Node.js project rates this specific issue Medium and shipped the fix in its June 2026 security release; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS exploitation probability is low (0.28%, 20th percentile), and it is not in CISA KEV. Note a significant signal conflict: the aggregate input score of CVSS 9.8 with an 'Authentication Bypass' tag is far above the vendor's own Medium rating for this CVE and appears to be an inflated pre-NVD auto-score.
Improper access control in Node.js's experimental permission model allows a process running under restricted permissions to bypass write-path enforcement via process.chdir() when generating diagnostic reports. Affected are Node.js versions through 22.22.3, 24.16.0, and 26.3.0 across all three active release lines. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and EPSS (0.20%, 10th percentile) and SSVC (exploitation: none, automatable: no) both indicate very low real-world exploitation likelihood - consistent with the Node.js security team's own 'Low' severity classification for this specific CVE within the June 2026 security release.
Privilege escalation in the E2Pdf - Export Pdf Tool for WordPress plugin (versions ≤ 1.32.26) allows authenticated low-privilege users with the e2pdf_templates capability to overwrite arbitrary WordPress options and elevate themselves to administrator. The flaw stems from the screen_action() function lacking a capability check and nonce verification, letting attackers pass attacker-controlled option names and values directly to update_option(). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the issue was disclosed by Wordfence with detailed source-line references making weaponization straightforward.
Cross-workspace tampering in Typebot 3.15.2 and earlier allows any authenticated workspace member to modify or delete theme templates belonging to other workspaces by supplying a foreign themeTemplateId to the handleSaveThemeTemplate and handleDeleteThemeTemplate handlers. The handlers verify only that the caller is a non-guest member of the workspaceId argument but execute Prisma queries that omit workspaceId from the WHERE clause, producing an Insecure Direct Object Reference (CWE-639). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue was remediated in Typebot 3.16.0.
Unauthenticated remote PowerShell execution in CursorTouch Windows-MCP prior to version 0.7.5 allows attackers to reach the MCP control plane over HTTP and invoke the built-in PowerShell tool as the Windows user running the server. The flaw stems from SSE and streamable-http transports being built without an auth provider while wildcard CORS (allow_origins=*) is applied, opening the path to cross-origin browser pages and any non-browser HTTP client. No CISA KEV listing exists, but the CVSS 4.0 vector includes E:P, indicating publicly available exploit code exists.
HTTP request smuggling in Tinyproxy through 1.11.3 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to desynchronize the proxy and its backend by sending requests with multiple Content-Length headers having differing values. Because Tinyproxy forwards all duplicate Content-Length headers while parsing only the first value, downstream servers may interpret request boundaries differently, enabling cache poisoning, access control bypass, and request hijacking. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the underlying primitive is well documented and the upstream commit 364cdb6 clearly demonstrates the parsing flaw.
HTTP request smuggling in Tinyproxy through 1.11.3 lets remote unauthenticated attackers desynchronize the proxy and backend by sending requests carrying both Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding: chunked headers. Tinyproxy forwards both headers verbatim while parsing the body using Content-Length, producing a classic CL.TE desync that enables cache poisoning, access control bypass, and request hijacking against the backend. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though VulnCheck has published an advisory and the upstream issue/PR describe the bug in detail.
Authentication bypass in Network-AI versions 5.7.1 and earlier allows unauthenticated remote attackers to invoke all 22 MCP tools on the SSE server because the default secret is empty and `_isAuthorized()` returns true when no secret is configured. Despite the partial fix for CVE-2026-46701 in 5.4.5 (which restricted CORS to localhost origins), any non-browser caller - curl, SSRF, or a service exposed via a 0.0.0.0 bind - can still call privileged operations like `config_set`, `agent_spawn`, `blackboard_write`, and token management with zero credentials. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the GHSA advisory includes annotated source-code locations that effectively serve as a roadmap for exploitation.
Authentication bypass in Tinyproxy through 1.11.3 lets unauthenticated remote attackers reach the internal statistics page and smuggle transparent-proxy requests by forging or port-manipulating the HTTP Host header, because stathost detection used a brittle strcmp against the configured hostname. The flaw is a CWE-444 request-interpretation inconsistency reported by VulnCheck; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the upstream fix (commit 09312a1) and a detailed PR diff are publicly available, making a working PoC trivial to reconstruct.
Authorization bypass in Avo (Ruby on Rails admin framework) versions <= 3.32.0 and 4.0.0.beta.1 through 4.0.0.beta.50 allows authenticated low-privileged users to attach arbitrary related records to parent resources via a direct POST to the associations endpoint, bypassing the `attach_<association>?` policy enforced only on the form-rendering GET. Publicly available exploit code exists (Python PoC in the GHSA advisory), and in deployments where associations encode teams, tenants, roles, or memberships, exploitation yields privilege escalation and cross-tenant data exposure.
Authorization bypass in Gitea versions 1.22.3 through 1.26.1 allows holders of `public-only` access tokens or OAuth grants to read and modify private account resources via `/api/v1/user/...` self routes, despite the public-only flag being designed to restrict tokens to public data. The flaw is a systemic scope-boundary failure across many self routes (SSH keys, emails, OAuth apps, Actions secrets/variables/runners, private repos, webhooks), publicly available exploit code exists in the form of reproducible Go PoCs in the advisory, and the issue represents an incomplete fix of CVE-2025-68941 in a different route family.
Authorization bypass in Gitea versions prior to 1.26.0 lets a read-only organization member create repositories in the organization namespace via the API fork endpoint, despite a team configuration that denies repository creation (can_create_org_repo=false). Because the fork creator receives admin rights on the resulting repo, the attacker can enable Actions and push a workflow that exfiltrates all organization-level CI/CD secrets (deploy keys, cloud credentials, API tokens). Publicly available exploit code exists in the GHSA advisory with a full step-by-step PoC; no public exploit identified at time of analysis beyond the reporter's reproduction.
Cross-profile session data exfiltration in Hermes WebUI before 0.51.443 lets any authenticated user retrieve session transcripts belonging to other profiles by calling the session export endpoint with a guessed or known session ID. The flaw is a classic IDOR (CWE-639) in the _handle_session_export handler, which omits active-profile ownership checks before serializing the requested session. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but VulnCheck published a coordinated advisory and the upstream fix is shipped in v0.51.443.
Cross-profile session disclosure in Hermes WebUI before 0.51.443 lets any authenticated user retrieve conversation transcripts and metadata belonging to other profiles by passing a foreign session_id to the /api/session endpoint. The flaw is a classic IDOR (CWE-639) where profile boundary checks are missing on by-id reads. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the trigger is a single trivial GET request and the upstream patch openly describes the fix as 'scope session by-id reads + exports to active profile,' which discloses the bypass.
Authentication bypass in Hermes WebUI before 0.51.409 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to register the first passkey on instances where HERMES_WEBUI_PASSKEY=1 is set and no credentials yet exist, yielding permanent administrative control. The flaw resides in the passkey registration API endpoints, which fail to enforce authentication during the initial enrollment window. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but a vendor patch is available and the issue was disclosed by VulnCheck.
Cross-profile authorization bypass in Hermes WebUI before 0.51.368 allows authenticated users to access sessions, files, and resources belonging to other profiles by forging the hermes_profile cookie. The flaw lives in get_profile_cookie(), which trusted attacker-supplied profile names without binding them to the authenticated session. VulnCheck reported the issue and an upstream patch is available; no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
DNS rebinding in NousResearch Hermes Agent prior to 0.16.0 allows remote attackers to reach privileged local WebSocket endpoints (/api/pty, /api/ws, /api/pub, /api/events) by tricking a victim's browser into resolving an attacker-controlled hostname to the agent's loopback address, bypassing Host and Origin checks. Because FastAPI HTTP middleware does not run on WebSocket upgrade requests, the validation layer is silently skipped, letting attackers inject commands into the PTY or stream terminal output. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but VulnCheck reported the issue and an upstream patch is available.
TLS pinning bypass in undici 7.23.0 through 7.27.x and 8.x prior to 8.5.0 allows network-positioned attackers to perform man-in-the-middle attacks on HTTPS traffic routed through SOCKS5 proxies. The ProxyAgent silently drops the requestTls option (including ca, cert, key, rejectUnauthorized, and servername) when the proxy URI uses socks5:// or socks://, causing connections to fall back to Node.js's default Mozilla CA bundle instead of the application-configured trust anchor. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the CWE-295 improper certificate validation flaw directly defeats corporate CA pinning controls.
Information disclosure in Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) and ISE Passive Identity Connector (ISE-PIC) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to retrieve sensitive data - including hashed credentials - by sending crafted traffic to an affected device. The root cause is missing authorization checks on a protected resource (CWE-285), making this an authentication-bypass-style information leak. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not currently listed in CISA KEV.
Improper access control in Dell PowerFlex Manager allows a low-privileged remote attacker to trigger a denial-of-service condition and tamper with integrity-sensitive operations against the software-defined storage management plane. Dell disclosed the issue in advisory DSA-2026-066, and at the time of analysis no public exploit has been identified and the CVE is not on the CISA KEV list.
Privilege escalation in Dell PowerFlex Manager allows a low-privileged attacker on an adjacent network segment to bypass access controls and gain unauthorized elevated access to the management plane. The CVSS 8.0 (High) score reflects significant confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, though there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS rates exploitation probability at only 0.13% (3rd percentile). CISA SSVC classifies exploitation as 'none' with non-automatable attack characteristics, indicating no observed real-world abuse despite the meaningful technical severity.
Missing authentication on a critical function in Dell PowerFlex Manager allows an adjacent-network attacker to invoke privileged operations without credentials, yielding code execution, denial of service, information disclosure, tampering, and unauthorized access. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the affected version range was not populated in the source advisory placeholder. Dell self-reported the issue under DSA-2026-066.
Authentication bypass in Dell PowerFlex Manager allows an unauthenticated attacker with adjacent-network access to gain unauthorized access to the management plane, with high impact to integrity and availability of the software-defined storage fabric. Dell's DSA-2026-066 advisory addresses this and other PowerFlex flaws; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV. Affected version range is not enumerated in the public record, which constrains accurate exposure scoping.
Improper authentication in Dell PowerFlex Manager allows unauthenticated attackers with adjacent network access to bypass authentication controls, resulting in information disclosure, data tampering, and unauthorized access to managed storage infrastructure. The vulnerability carries a CVSS 8.1 rating reflecting high confidentiality and integrity impact, though no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS scores it at 0.19% probability. SSVC scoring from CISA indicates no observed exploitation and partial technical impact.
Missing authorization in the Nexi XPay WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 8.3.1) allows remote unauthenticated attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels, resulting in high impact to availability. Reported by Patchstack with no public exploit identified at time of analysis, the issue stems from broken access control on plugin endpoints used by Italian e-commerce sites integrating Nexi/CartaSi payment processing.
Improper access control in Open WebUI allows an authenticated attacker with workspace model permissions to read or delete other users' private files by forging model metadata entries. The vulnerability exists in the model creation and update paths, where `meta.knowledge` entries referencing a victim's file ID grant unauthorized access through the built-in `view_file` tool and the file content/delete API endpoints. A proof-of-concept exploit confirms file content disclosure, and the vendor has released a patch in version 0.9.6; no active exploitation is reported (CISA KEV) and EPSS probability is low.
Cross-user file read and deletion in Open WebUI <=0.9.5 allows authenticated users to access or destroy other users' files by attaching arbitrary file_id values to their own chat messages and sharing the chat. The flaw stems from missing ownership checks in Chats.insert_chat_files() combined with a shared-chat authorization branch that ignores access_type, so a read grant also satisfies write/delete checks. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though a detailed PoC is included in the GitHub Security Advisory.
Cross-origin postMessage abuse in Open WebUI versions <= 0.9.5 allows an attacker-controlled web page to inject and auto-submit prompts into an authenticated victim's chat session without the normal 'Confirm Prompt from Embed' dialog. By chaining the `input:prompt` and `action:submit` window message types, a remote site triggers backend calls to `/api/v1/chats/new` and `/api/chat/completions` under the victim's credentials. Publicly available exploit code exists in the GitHub Security Advisory, though it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Missing authorization in Azuriom CMS before 1.2.11 allows an authenticated attacker holding the admin.access permission to abuse unprotected AzLink server management routes to create server tokens and subsequently take over arbitrary non-admin user accounts by overwriting their passwords and email addresses. The vulnerability resides in routes/admin.php and exposes three AzLink API endpoints (/api/azlink/password, /api/azlink/email, /api/azlink/user/{id}) that fail to enforce a higher privilege boundary beyond admin.access. No active exploitation is confirmed (not in CISA KEV, EPSS 0.35%/26th percentile), and a vendor patch was released in v1.2.11.
Use-after-free in NGINX Open Source's ngx_http_v3_module allows remote unauthenticated attackers to crash worker processes and potentially execute arbitrary code on hosts where HTTP/3 QUIC is enabled. Exploitation requires a specially crafted HTTP/3 session that reopens a QPACK encoder stream, with code execution contingent on ASLR being disabled or bypassed; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, though SSVC technical impact is rated total.
LDAP injection in Apache Shiro's DefaultLdapRealm allows remote unauthenticated attackers to manipulate Distinguished Name construction during LDAP bind authentication, potentially bypassing authentication or impersonating other users. The flaw affects all versions through 2.2.0 and 3.0.0-alpha-1 when DefaultLdapRealm is in use, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.8 reflects high integrity impact against an authentication-critical component.
Local privilege escalation in Quanos SCHEMA ST4 on-premises allows low-privileged authenticated Windows users to obtain SYSTEM-level code execution by abusing the Client Update Service. The service exposes a .NET Remoting endpoint over a named pipe with missing authorization checks (CWE-862), letting any local user invoke privileged Update() methods that perform arbitrary file write/delete as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but technical details were disclosed by SEC Consult (SEC-VLab).
Unauthenticated adjacent-network access to a wide range of Mitsubishi Electric Wi-Fi-enabled appliances - including room air conditioners (for Japan and abroad), wireless LAN adapters for room/packaged air conditioners, refrigerators, heat-pump water heaters, bathroom dryer/heater/ventilation units, Lossnay ventilation systems, IH cooking heaters, and rice cookers - is possible via a hard-coded SSID and password embedded in the products' Wi-Fi access-point mode. An attacker within Wi-Fi radio range can read device telemetry (operation status, set/room temperature), alter air-conditioner or Wi-Fi settings, or push the Wi-Fi interface into a denial-of-service state. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis (EPSS 0.15%, percentile 5%; CISA SSVC Exploitation: none) and the issue is not in CISA KEV, but the credentials are static across the product line, making opportunistic abuse trivial once they are leaked or recovered from firmware.
Privilege escalation in the WordPress plugin SMS Alert Order Notifications (by Cozy Vision Technologies) versions 3.9.4 and earlier allows low-privileged users - specifically Subscriber-level accounts - to elevate their permissions on the WordPress site. Patchstack catalogued this as an authorization/authentication-bypass class issue (CWE-863). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
Authentication bypass in the WordPress plugin SMS Alert Order Notifications (versions <= 3.9.3) allows remote unauthenticated attackers to access functionality or data that should be restricted to authenticated users. The flaw, reported by Patchstack and tracked under CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), carries a CVSS 7.5 with high confidentiality impact only. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not currently listed in CISA KEV.
Insecure direct object reference in the Clean Login WordPress plugin versions 1.15 and earlier allows remote unauthenticated attackers to manipulate object identifiers to modify data they should not control and to disrupt plugin-managed functionality. The flaw is reported by Patchstack and tagged as an authentication bypass affecting Alberto Hornero's Clean Login plugin, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis. CVSS 3.1 rates it 8.2 due to the network-reachable, no-privileges, no-interaction vector with limited integrity impact and high availability impact.
Broken access control in the WordPress plugin User Registration Stripe (versions <= 1.3.12) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to invoke protected functionality without proper authorization checks. The flaw stems from missing capability validation (CWE-862) and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.2 with high integrity impact. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Unauthenticated Insecure Direct Object Reference in the Salon Booking System WordPress plugin (versions <= 10.30.24) allows remote attackers to access or manipulate booking objects belonging to other users by tampering with object identifiers in requests. The flaw was reported by Patchstack and affects the dimitri_grassi salon_booking_system plugin per the provided CPE, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Broken access control in the User Registration Stripe WordPress plugin (versions 1.3.14 and earlier) allows remote unauthenticated attackers to access functionality that should require authorization, leading to high confidentiality exposure and limited integrity tampering. The flaw is reported by Patchstack and tagged as an authentication bypass, but no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis. EPSS data was not provided, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
Unauthenticated broken access control in WPMET MetForm Pro WordPress plugin versions 3.9.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to access protected functionality without credentials, with CVSS 9.1 reflecting high confidentiality and availability impact. Reported by Patchstack, the flaw stems from missing authorization (CWE-862) on plugin endpoints, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Unauthenticated broken access control in PremiumPress WordPress Dating Theme through version 11.2.0 allows remote attackers to reach restricted functionality without credentials, resulting in high confidentiality impact and limited integrity and availability impact. The flaw was disclosed via Patchstack and currently has no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the network-reachable, no-interaction vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) makes opportunistic abuse against exposed sites realistic. No CISA KEV listing or EPSS score is provided in the input.
Local privilege escalation in Google Android's Telecomm component allows applications to initiate unauthorized phone calls by bypassing permission checks, with no user interaction required. The flaw is reported through the Android Security Bulletin for Android 17 and carries a CVSS 4.0 score of 10.0, though no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Despite the network-vector CVSS rating, the description characterizes this as local escalation of privilege, suggesting realistic exploitation requires a malicious app already installed on the device.
Unauthenticated remote denial of service in NLTK's WordNet Browser HTTP server (nltk.app.wordnet_app) through version 3.9.3 allows any network-reachable attacker to terminate the server process by sending a single GET request to /SHUTDOWN%20THE%20SERVER. The server binds to all interfaces by default and invokes os._exit(0) on receipt, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis but exploitation is trivial given the documented endpoint.
Local privilege escalation in Google Android's NFC subsystem allows an unprivileged local app to spoof NFC events because of a missing permission check, granting capabilities normally reserved for privileged components. No user interaction is required, and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, though the issue is tracked in the Android Security Bulletin for Android 17. Despite the CVSS 4.0 vector encoding AV:N, the description clearly describes a local Android attack surface.
Local privilege escalation in Android's SettingsLib component stems from a missing permission check caused by a logic error, allowing on-device attackers to elevate privileges without user interaction or additional execution rights. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is addressed in the Android Security Bulletin for Android 17. The CVSS 4.0 vector supplied (AV:N) conflicts with the description's 'local escalation' wording and should be treated as a discrepancy.
Local privilege escalation in Google Android's Package Manager allows on-device attackers to bypass the device lock controller due to a missing permission check, with no user interaction required. The flaw, disclosed in the Android Security Bulletin for Android 17, carries a vendor CVSS 4.0 score of 10.0 but is described as a local escalation. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation in Apache DolphinScheduler before 3.4.2 allows any authenticated general user to generate admin-level access tokens via the /access-tokens API endpoint, entirely bypassing authorization controls. This CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization) flaw means that an attacker holding only a basic user account can silently elevate to full administrative control over all workflows, tasks, and sensitive pipeline data on the platform. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been confirmed at time of analysis, but the near-zero exploitation complexity (AC:L, no user interaction) makes this a high-priority remediation target for any organization running the affected versions.
Authentication bypass in OpenBSD's sppp PAP handler (sppp_pap_input in sys/net/if_spppsubr.c) lets an adjacent attacker on a PPP link authenticate without valid credentials by supplying zero-length name/password fields, which the kernel only bounds-checked against an upper limit (AUTHMAXLEN) instead of the exact expected credential length. All OpenBSD builds before commit 076e2b1 that terminate PPP sessions with PAP authentication are affected. Publicly available exploit code exists (an Argus Systems PoC script) and a vendor fix is available, though EPSS is low (0.21%, 12th percentile) and the flaw is not in CISA KEV, so this is proof-of-concept rather than confirmed active exploitation.
Authorization bypass in Gitea 1.26.1 and earlier allows attackers with personal access tokens scoped to non-repository categories (e.g., read:issue or read:misc) to download full repository archives of private repositories they have access to. This bypass stems from a missing token scope check in the /archive/* web endpoint, while other download endpoints (/raw/*, /media/*) were properly secured. Exploitation probability is low based on EPSS, and no active exploitation or KEV listing exists at this time; however, trivial exploit steps are publicly documented.
Authorization bypass in Gitea versions up to and including 1.26.1 allows any authenticated user with mere read access to push arbitrary commits directly to any repository they can view, including all public repositories on the instance. The flaw stems from the 'Allow edits from maintainers' pull request flag being trusted without verifying the PR submitter actually owns write access on the HEAD side, enabling reverse-fork PRs to grant unauthorized push rights to upstream targets. Publicly available exploit code exists (a working poc.py is attached to the advisory), and the issue is fixed in Gitea 1.26.2.
OAuth2 scope enforcement bypass in Gitea <= 1.26.1 allows any OAuth2 access token to perform write actions far beyond its granted scope when submitted via HTTP Basic authentication instead of as a Bearer token. A token issued with only `read:user` can modify user settings, add attacker-controlled emails, and create or delete the user's repositories, effectively nullifying the entire OAuth2 scope model for Basic-auth requests. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the advisory itself contains a full working PoC.
Unauthenticated remote command execution in rclone's remote control daemon (rcd) affects versions 1.55.0 through 1.74.2 when started with `--rc-serve` and without HTTP authentication. A single GET or HEAD request to `/[remote:path]/object` triggers backend initialization with attacker-controlled inline remote options, executing commands as the rclone process user. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the GHSA advisory describes the technique in detail and notes the issue bypasses the earlier CVE-2026-41179 fix.
Authentication bypass in LiteLLM proxy versions prior to 1.84.0 allows unauthenticated attackers to reach protected management routes by sending a crafted Host header that causes Starlette to reconstruct request.url.path inconsistently with the route FastAPI actually dispatches. The flaw lives in get_request_route() in litellm/proxy/auth/auth_utils.py and only impacts deployments that expose the proxy listener directly without an upstream Host-validating layer; no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Authorization scope bypass in Gitea v1.26.1 and earlier allows authenticated users to use OAuth2/PAT Bearer tokens to perform Git Smart HTTP clone, fetch, and push operations on private repositories without holding the required read:repository or write:repository token scopes. The flaw stems from CheckRepoScopedToken() short-circuiting unless ctx.IsBasicAuth is true, while the same route accepts Bearer authentication. No public exploit identified at time of analysis beyond the reporter's PoC test in the GHSA advisory.
Unauthenticated browser hijacking in n8n's @n8n/mcp-browser package (versions <2.25.7 and 2.26.0-2.26.1) allows any network-reachable attacker or malicious website to invoke browser-control tools against a victim's real browser profile when HTTP transport is enabled. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the missing-authentication flaw (CWE-306) requires only that the operator started the MCP endpoint with --transport http and has the n8n AI Browser Bridge extension active.
Unauthenticated information disclosure in Rocket.Chat allows remote attackers to enumerate and download arbitrary uploaded files via the Livechat file-download endpoint. The flaw at /file-upload/:fileId/:name validates rc_token against rc_rid but never checks that rc_rid matches the requested file's actual room ID, and sequential MongoDB ObjectIDs make :fileId predictable, enabling discovery of all uploads. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the HackerOne report (#3687142) and upstream fix PR are public.
Unauthenticated file deletion in Rocket.Chat allows remote attackers to permanently delete arbitrary uploaded files from a target server via the deleteFileMessage Meteor method over a DDP WebSocket connection. The flaw stems from an authorization check that is silently skipped when Meteor.userId() returns null on unauthenticated DDP sessions, letting any internet-accessible attacker destroy attachments whose IDs are discoverable from public channel messages and download URLs. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though a vendor patch and HackerOne disclosure (report 3611837) confirm the issue.
Cross-user credential access in n8n workflow automation platform allows member-level users with Editor access to shared workflows to reference credentials owned by other users via specific public API endpoints. The flaw stems from incomplete ownership checks (CWE-863) and affects versions prior to 1.123.55, between 2.0.0-rc.0 and 2.25.7, and between 2.26.0 and 2.26.2. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the vulnerability enables credential exfiltration in multi-tenant n8n deployments where workflow sharing is enabled.
Cross-tenant privilege escalation in Daytona (versions ≤0.184.0) allows any authenticated user who owns an organization to modify or delete roles belonging to other organizations on the same instance, including the managed Daytona platform. The role update and delete endpoints only validated owner-level access to the path-named organization while resolving the target role by its global identifier, enabling tenant-boundary bypass. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and exploitation requires knowing the victim role's non-enumerable identifier.
Authentication header injection in Caddy versions prior to 2.11.4 allows remote attackers with low privileges to bypass forward_auth identity protections and inject or override trusted HTTP_REMOTE_* CGI variables in downstream PHP/FastCGI applications. The flaw arises because forward_auth's copy_headers directive performs exact-name deletion of client-supplied headers (e.g., Remote-Groups), while the php_fastcgi module later normalizes hyphens to underscores when exporting CGI variables, allowing an underscore alias like Remote_Groups to survive and collide with the trusted variable. Publicly available exploit code exists via the vendor GHSA advisory PoC, though no public exploit identified at time of analysis indicates active exploitation in the wild.
Unauthenticated information disclosure in the eyecix JobSearch (wp-jobsearch) WordPress plugin versions up to and including 3.2.7 allows remote attackers to bypass access controls and read sensitive data without authentication. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates trivial remote exploitation with no preconditions, though no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no CISA KEV listing is present. Patchstack categorized the issue as a Broken Access Control / Authentication Bypass affecting confidentiality only.
Unauthenticated remote compromise of Oracle Solaris 11.4 Remote Administration Daemon (RAD) allows network attackers to read, modify, create, or delete critical data with scope change impacting adjacent products. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 10.0 with AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N reflects trivial network exploitability over HTTPS without authentication, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The scope-change designation indicates that successful exploitation breaches the security authority of RAD and propagates impact to other Solaris-managed components.
