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

Cross-profile data disclosure in Hermes WebUI before 0.51.269 allows authenticated users to read session titles and transcript message content from other users' profiles by querying the sessions search endpoint, which fails to scope results to the caller's active profile. The flaw was reported by VulnCheck and a vendor patch is available; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the issue is trivial to trigger for any logged-in account.
Authorization bypass in Mem0 self-hosted server versions through 0.2.8 allows any authenticated holder of a distributed API key to overwrite the global LLM and embedder configuration via the POST /configure endpoint, redirecting all model traffic to an attacker-controlled server. The malicious configuration is persisted to PostgreSQL and survives restarts, affecting every user and API key on the instance. Publicly available exploit code exists and a vendor patch has been released in commit ae7f406.
Authentication bypass in Ivanti Sentry before R10.5.2, R10.6.2, and R10.7.1 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to create arbitrary administrative accounts and gain full administrative control of the appliance. Publicly available exploit code exists (watchTowr Labs PoC chained with CVE-2026-10520 for RCE), though it is not yet listed in CISA KEV; EPSS sits at a modest 0.31% (54th percentile) despite the critical CVSS 9.8 rating.
Privilege escalation in TYPO3 CMS Form Framework allows authenticated backend users with file write permissions to bypass upload restrictions using mixed-case file extensions (e.g., .FORM.YAML), then execute arbitrary SQL via crafted form definition files to create administrative backend accounts. The flaw affects TYPO3 versions before 10.4.57, 11.5.50, 12.4.45, 13.4.30, and 14.3.2 across all supported branches. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the upstream fix is published with detailed commit-level test cases that effectively serve as a roadmap for exploit development.
Authorization bypass in TYPO3 CMS allows non-privileged backend users with file mount access to perform write operations (move, delete, rename) on the root folders of their assigned file mounts, which were intended to be protected. The flaw affects TYPO3 versions before 10.4.57, 11.0.0-11.5.50, 12.0.0-12.4.45, 13.0.0-13.4.30, and 14.0.0-14.3.2, with CVSS 4.0 score 7.2 (High). No public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation in TYPO3 CMS allows authenticated backend users with Form Framework access to execute arbitrary SQL by uploading malicious form definitions with non-standard file extensions, enabling creation of administrative backend accounts. The flaw stems from incomplete file-extension validation in FormPersistenceManager and affects every supported branch (10.4, 11.5, 12.4, 13.4, 14.3) below the fixed releases. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the upstream fix commits are public on GitHub.
Authorization bypass in QNAP QuMagie versions prior to 2.9.1 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to manipulate user-controlled keys (IDOR-class flaw) and gain unintended privileges on the photo management application. The QNAP-issued advisory QSA-26-35 confirms the issue and ships a fix in 2.9.1; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the flaw is not currently listed in CISA KEV.
Denial-of-service via improper access control in Spring HATEOAS affects versions 1.5.0-1.5.6, 2.3.0-2.3.4, 2.4.0-2.4.1, 2.5.0-2.5.2, and 3.0.0-3.0.3, where the internal PropertyUtils.createObjectFromProperties method performs reflection-based bean property binding while ignoring Jackson access-control annotations (@JsonIgnore, @JsonProperty access modes). Remote unauthenticated attackers sending crafted Collection+JSON or UBER media type payloads can bind to properties the developer explicitly marked as inbound-restricted, causing high-availability impact. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
Authentication bypass in Spring LDAP's DirContextAuthenticationStrategy allows remote unauthenticated attackers to succeed at LDAP bind operations by supplying any non-empty username paired with an empty or null password, due to the framework failing to reject such anonymous-equivalent bind requests. Affected releases span Spring LDAP 2.4.0-2.4.4, 3.2.0-3.2.17, 3.3.0-3.3.7, and 4.0.0-4.0.3, putting Java applications that delegate authentication to these libraries at risk of impersonating arbitrary users. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
Unauthenticated tenant data disclosure in the 6Storage Rentals WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 2.22.0) allows remote attackers to read and modify arbitrary tenant profile records - including names, emails, phone numbers, physical addresses, and SSNs - by enumerating numeric userId values. The flaw stems from AJAX handlers exposed via wp_ajax_nopriv_* hooks without ownership checks or nonce validation. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the bug is trivially scriptable and reported by Wordfence.
Privilege escalation in SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP allows authenticated low-privilege users to invoke a report generation command that overwrites data belonging to other users, breaking tenant-level data integrity. The flaw stems from missing authorization checks (CWE-862) and carries a CVSS 7.1 rating with high integrity impact; no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Signed XML message tampering in SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP and ABAP Platform allows authenticated low-privileged attackers to forge identity information by capturing a valid signed message and submitting modified signed XML documents that the verifier accepts. The scope-changing flaw (CVSS 9.9) enables unauthorized access to sensitive user data and disruption of normal operations across trust boundaries. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
Site isolation bypass in Google Chrome versions prior to 149.0.7827.103 allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to escape cross-origin boundaries via a crafted HTML page. The flaw is rated High severity by Chromium and carries a CVSS score of 8.1, though EPSS is very low at 0.02% and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. This is a second-stage vulnerability requiring prior renderer compromise, typically chained with a separate RCE in the renderer sandbox.
Site isolation bypass in Google Chrome's Passwords component prior to version 149.0.7827.103 allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to escape cross-origin boundaries via a crafted HTML page. The flaw is rated High severity by Chromium with a CVSS 8.1 score, but EPSS exploitation probability is very low (0.02%, 6th percentile) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The vendor has shipped a fix in the stable channel.
Source IP spoofing in Puma Ruby web server versions 5.5.0 through 7.2.0 and 8.0.0 through 8.0.1 allows remote attackers to overwrite REMOTE_ADDR by injecting a second PROXY protocol v1 header between keep-alive requests on a persistent connection. Only deployments that explicitly enable `set_remote_address proxy_protocol: :v1` behind a trusted proxy are affected, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The flaw undermines any application or middleware logic that relies on client IP for access control, rate limiting, or auditing.
Privilege escalation in BookCars v8.3 allows authenticated low-privileged users to elevate themselves to administrator by modifying their own user type attribute, due to missing server-side authorization checks. The flaw is documented in a public GitHub vulnerability writeup but is not listed in CISA KEV, and no public weaponized exploit has been catalogued at time of analysis. CVSS 8.1 reflects high confidentiality and integrity impact achievable over the network with only a standard user account.
Authentication bypass in BookCars v8.3 lets remote attackers forge JWT tokens because the validateAccessToken function performs no cryptographic signature verification (CWE-347), allowing them to impersonate any user or administrator without credentials. The CVSS 9.8 rating reflects full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability over the network. SSVC lists exploitation as POC with total technical impact and automatable=yes, though EPSS is very low (0.02%, 7th percentile) and it is not in CISA KEV; publicly available exploit code exists.
Remote code execution in BookCars v8.3 is achievable by authenticated attackers who abuse a path traversal flaw in the /api/create-user endpoint to rename and relocate files from temporary storage to attacker-chosen filesystem paths. The flaw is tagged as Authentication Bypass, Path Traversal, and RCE, and a public write-up exists in a third-party GitHub repository, though it is not listed in CISA KEV and EPSS is low at 0.17% (38th percentile).
Authentication bypass in bookcars v8.3 lets remote unauthenticated attackers forge JWT tokens against the /api/social-sign-in endpoint to impersonate arbitrary users. The flaw carries a CVSS 9.1 rating with no public exploit identified at time of analysis, though a third-party vulnerability writeup is referenced on GitHub. EPSS is very low (0.02%, 7th percentile), suggesting limited mass-scanning interest despite the high severity.
Unauthorized access in SEMCMS 5.0 allows remote attackers to reach the SEMCMS_copy.php endpoint without authentication, exposing sensitive functionality intended to be restricted. The CVSS 7.5 score reflects high confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability effect, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis beyond a referenced gist. The flaw stems from improper access control (CWE-284) in a PHP-based content management system.
Broken authorization in nebula-mesh (Go, all versions up to and including v0.3.1) lets any authenticated operator read the entire server-wide audit log. The GET /api/v1/audit-log endpoint (handleGetAuditLog in internal/api/audit.go) is protected only by bearer-token authentication and omits the admin role check, so a low-privileged operator key returns up to 1000 cross-tenant entries including actor names, host/CA/operator IDs, timestamps, and masked-IP records. A working one-line curl reproducer is published in the GHSA advisory (publicly available exploit code exists); it is not in CISA KEV and EPSS is low at 0.04%.
Privilege escalation and cross-tenant resource takeover in juev/nebula-mesh versions prior to v0.3.4 allow any authenticated low-privilege operator to mint admin API keys, hijack other operators' hosts via the reenroll endpoint, and perform unauthorized CRUD across hosts, networks, and firewall rules. The `/api/v1/*` route surface trusts the bearer token for authorization without enforcing per-CA ownership checks that the Web UI applies, breaking the per-operator CA tenancy model from ADR 0002. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though a detailed exploit chain with working curl commands is published in the GHSA advisory.
DNS cache poisoning in Netty's netty-resolver-dns library (versions prior to 4.1.135.Final and 4.2.0.Final through 4.2.14.Final) allows an attacker who controls an authoritative name server for any subdomain to inject forged NS and A records for parent zones such as .co.uk into the resolver's authoritativeDnsServerCache. The bailiwick check in DnsResolveContext.AuthoritativeNameServerList only blocks records targeting the root zone, so any Java application embedding Netty's resolver can be steered to attacker-controlled name servers for unrelated domains. EPSS is only 0.01% and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the SSVC technical impact is rated total.
DNS cache poisoning in Netty's netty-resolver-dns component (versions before 4.1.135.Final and 4.2.x before 4.2.15.Final) lets remote attackers inject forged CNAME records into the resolver cache by exploiting missing bailiwick (origin) validation in DnsResolveContext#buildAliasMap. Any JVM application relying on Netty for asynchronous DNS resolution may be redirected to attacker-controlled hosts, enabling man-in-the-middle on subsequent traffic. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS is 0.01%, and the issue is not on the CISA KEV list, but CVSS rates it 10.0 due to the scope-changing integrity/confidentiality impact.
IPv6 access control bypass in Netty's netty-handler component (versions <= 4.1.134.Final and 4.2.0.Final through 4.2.14.Final) allows remote attackers to circumvent IpSubnetFilter restrictions due to a faulty bitwise masking operation in IpSubnetFilterRule.compareTo(). Because the comparator ANDs the incoming IP against the networkAddress instead of the subnetMask, valid public IPv6 addresses outside the configured allowlist/blocklist can pass filter checks. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not on the CISA KEV list.
Authentication bypass in OpenBullet2 through 0.3.2 lets unauthenticated remote attackers obtain full admin access by sending an empty X-Api-Key HTTP header, because the API key middleware compares the submitted value against a default empty AdminApiKey string. With CVSS 4.0 score 9.3, publicly available exploit code, and a writeup from VulnCheck/Hackernoon, this is a trivially exploitable flaw exposing the admin console and every API endpoint of any internet-reachable deployment running default configuration.
Privilege escalation in STACKIT IaaS API enables any authenticated low-privileged tenant to compromise an entire organization by exploiting a missing authorization check on the PUT servers/service-accounts endpoint. All versions prior to 2026-05-28 permit a tenant to attach arbitrary high-privileged service accounts to virtual machines they control, after which the Instance Metadata Service (IMDS) can be queried to retrieve OAuth2 tokens belonging to those accounts, crossing tenant isolation boundaries to achieve full organizational control. No active exploitation has been confirmed (absent from CISA KEV, EPSS at 0.04%), but SSVC rates the attack automatable with total technical impact, making this a high internal priority for all STACKIT IaaS customers.
Authentication bypass in AdGuard Home prior to v0.107.77 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to gain full admin access when the binary is launched with the --glinet flag, by injecting a path traversal sequence into the Admin-Token cookie. The flaw lives in the authglinet middleware, which concatenates the cookie value into a file path without sanitization, letting attackers redirect token reads to arbitrary files. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the vendor advisory and a community-disclosed root cause make weaponization straightforward.
Privilege escalation via authorization bypass in Snipe-IT versions prior to 8.6.0 allows any authenticated user holding only the granular `users.edit` permission to disable administrator and superuser accounts through the bulk-edit endpoint, effectively locking all admins out of the instance. By toggling the `activated` and `ldap_import` flags on admin targets, a low-privileged actor denies admins both interactive login and password-reset recovery. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the upstream fix and detailed advisory disclose the exact attack surface.
Cross-workspace tenant isolation bypass in FlowiseAI versions prior to 3.1.2 allows authenticated low-privileged users to reassign assistant resources to arbitrary workspaces by manipulating server-controlled fields in the assistant update endpoint. The flaw is a mass assignment issue (CWE-284) tracked as EUVD-2026-35109, with publicly available exploit code exists via the GHSA advisory PoC, though no public exploit identified at time of analysis as widely deployed exploitation. SSVC indicates total technical impact but non-automatable exploitation.
Authentication bypass in Bludit CMS versions prior to 3.22.0 allows deactivated user accounts to retain authenticated access through persistent 'Remember Me' cookies, because the disable-account workflow fails to invalidate tokenAuth and tokenRemember values stored in the JSON database. Any user who previously logged in with the persistent session option can continue to act with their original privileges even after an administrator disables them. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
Broken access control in Bludit CMS versions prior to 3.22.0 allows deleted user accounts to retain full authenticated access through pre-existing 'Ghost Sessions' that are never invalidated upon account removal. An authenticated attacker whose account is subsequently revoked can continue performing privileged operations until the session naturally expires. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the fix commit on GitHub publicly discloses the exact root cause.
Privilege escalation in Keycloak allows a limited administrator to become a full realm administrator by importing users with realm-admin role mappings via the POST /admin/realms/{realm}/partialImport endpoint, bypassing Fine-Grained Admin Permissions (FGAP). Exploitation requires a high-privilege authenticated user, and while a proof-of-concept exploit exists, the EPSS score is very low (0.03%) and there is no evidence of active exploitation.
Authentication bypass in Check Point Quantum Security Gateway and Spark Firewalls allows unauthenticated remote attackers to establish Remote Access and Mobile Access VPN sessions without valid credentials by abusing a logic flaw in deprecated IKEv1 certificate validation. The flaw (CVSS 9.3, CWE-287) was reported by Check Point themselves and publicly available exploit code exists, though EPSS exploitation probability remains very low (0.01%) and the issue is not currently listed in CISA KEV. Affected deployments include multiple Quantum R80.40-R82.10 trains and Spark R80.20.X-R82.00.X firmware.
Certificate validation bypass in Check Point Quantum Security Gateway and Spark Firewalls allows network-positioned attackers to subvert IKEv1 certificate-based authentication in site-to-site VPN tunnels. A man-in-the-middle adversary can intercept or modify traffic traversing the tunnel without possessing valid credentials. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is constrained to the deprecated IKEv1 protocol path.
Privilege escalation in the Booking Package plugin for WordPress (versions up to and including 1.7.16) allows authenticated attackers with Editor-level access or above to take over any account, including Administrator accounts, by abusing the 'updateUser' branch of the package_app_action AJAX endpoint. The handler validates only a nonce and passes a hard-coded administrator flag to Schedule::updateUser(), letting attackers supply arbitrary target user IDs to wp_update_user() and reset the email and password of any account. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the issue was disclosed by Wordfence and results in full site compromise once an Editor account is obtained.
Authorization bypass in TP-Link Tapo C520WS v2 cameras allows holders of restricted accounts (such as hub users) to execute privileged operations they are not entitled to perform. By abusing the device API's legitimate method mapping behavior, an authenticated low-privilege attacker on the adjacent network can disguise sensitive calls as whitelisted ones, leading to integrity loss and high availability impact including device resets and configuration changes. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue was reported by TP-Link itself with a vendor patch available.
Sandbox policy bypass in Twig templating engine versions 3.25.0 and earlier allows sandboxed template authors to invoke arbitrary `__toString()` methods on any `Stringable` object reachable in the render context, even when those methods are not allowlisted by `SecurityPolicy::checkMethodAllowed()`. The flaw stems from `SandboxNodeVisitor` only wrapping a hardcoded subset of AST nodes in `CheckToStringNode`, leaving many string-coercion points (conditional expressions, comparison/`matches` operators, tests, ranges, includes, spread arguments) unguarded - and the comparison-operator vector enables byte-by-byte oracle recovery of sensitive object string forms. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; fix shipped in Twig 3.26.0 (also referenced by Symfony's advisory page).
Unauthenticated file disclosure and arbitrary file read in Altium Enterprise Server prior to 8.1.1 allows any network-reachable attacker to forge signed Vault download URLs using a hard-coded key shipped identically across all installations. Chained with a co-located path traversal in the same download endpoint (and optionally CVE-2026-9152 for enumeration), an attacker can read arbitrary server-side files including configuration and key material, leading to full server compromise. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; CVSS 4.0 score is 10.0 and Altium 365 SaaS is not affected because cloud deployments use object storage rather than the local filesystem.
Authentication bypass in WP Captcha PRO (and the free Advanced Google reCAPTCHA plugin sharing the same slug) for WordPress versions through 5.38 allows authenticated Subscriber-level users to log in as any account, including Administrator. The flaw chains a missing capability check in the ajax_run_tool() AJAX handler with the create_temporary_link tool that issues passwordless login links for arbitrary users, enabling full account takeover. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV.
Unauthenticated administrator account takeover in the Hippoo Mobile App for WooCommerce WordPress plugin (versions ≤ 1.9.4) allows remote attackers to reset any user's password - including the site administrator's - by sending a single crafted POST request to a cloned REST route. The root cause is a logic conflation in HippooPermissions::get_user_permissions() that returns the same null sentinel for both administrators and anonymous visitors, which is then interpreted as full admin access. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the trivial exploitation path and 9.8 CVSS score make this an urgent patch priority for any WordPress site running the plugin.
Authentication bypass in Defense Unicorns UDS Identity Config versions 0.11.0 through 0.26.0 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to obtain OAuth2 tokens for any Keycloak client using the client-kubernetes-secret authenticator by submitting an arbitrary client_secret value. A logic flaw in the custom authenticator overwrites the submitted secret with the mounted Kubernetes secret prior to comparison, rendering the comparison meaningless. With EPSS at 0.04% there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the SSVC technical impact is rated total and exploitation is automatable, making this a high-priority patch for UDS Core operators.
Cross-tenant remote code execution in Termix (web-based SSH/file management platform) prior to version 2.3.2 allows an authenticated low-privileged user to hijack another user's active File Manager session by tampering with a client-supplied sessionId, gaining full read/write/execute access to that victim's remote VPS over their established SSH connection. The CVSS 9.0 score reflects scope change (the compromised session crosses the trust boundary into the victim's separate VPS) and high impact across CIA. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV, but the trivial nature of incrementing/guessing an unvalidated identifier makes exploitation straightforward once a foothold account exists.
Cross-tenant SSH session hijacking in Termix versions prior to 2.3.2 allows any authenticated user to fully control another user's connected SSH host via predictable session identifiers. Sixteen file-manager endpoints fail to verify ownership of the `sessionId` parameter, enabling read, write, delete, download, and execute operations on victim hosts. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the multi-tenant deployment model and low attack complexity make this a high-priority issue for shared installations.
Cross-workspace Insecure Direct Object Reference in praisonai-platform before 0.1.4 allows any authenticated workspace member to read, modify, or delete AI agents belonging to entirely different workspaces by supplying a foreign agent UUID to the CRUD endpoints. The membership authorization gate checks only whether the caller belongs to the workspace in the URL path - it never verifies that the target agent actually resides in that workspace - so an attacker with any valid JWT can pivot across tenant boundaries. In multi-tenant deployments where agents store LLM API keys in runtime_config (BYOK), this also becomes a credential theft vector. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis, though GHSA-7p8g-6c6g-h9w7 publishes a complete step-by-step exploit chain.
File truncation bypass in wasmtime-wasi allows guest WebAssembly modules to truncate (destroy contents of) host files that should be read-only, by invoking the wasip2 `descriptor.open-at` or wasip1 `path_open` interfaces with only the `OpenFlags::TRUNCATE` flag set. The bug affects embeddings that combine `DirPerms::MUTATE` with `FilePerms::READ` (read-only file permissions plus directory mutation), defeating the host's enforced `FilePerms::WRITE` access control. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; CVSS 7.5 reflects the integrity-only impact (C:N/I:H/A:N).
Authorization bypass in HAVELSAN Geographic Tracking System versions prior to v0.0.2 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to access restricted functionality and sensitive geospatial tracking data due to missing ACL enforcement. The CVSS 9.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) vector and CWE-284 classification indicate trivially exploitable broken access control affecting confidentiality and integrity of tracked entities. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
Authorization bypass in HAVELSAN Inc. Geographic Tracking System versions prior to v0.0.2 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to access or modify other users' data by manipulating user-controlled identifiers. The CVSS 9.1 score reflects high confidentiality and integrity impact achievable over the network without authentication, though no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The flaw was reported by TR-CERT (Turkey's national CERT), suggesting coordinated disclosure for a regionally deployed product.
Cross-tenant comment access in linqi BPM platform versions through 1.4.8.5 allows any authenticated user to read and write comments on arbitrary process objects across all business units by supplying a chosen GUID to the /api/Comment endpoints. The flaw stems from missing authorization checks on the relatedObjectId parameter and carries a CVSS 4.0 score of 7.1 with no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Because exploitation requires only low-privilege credentials and no user interaction, it is well-suited to insider abuse or post-compromise lateral movement within multi-tenant deployments.
Authentication bypass in DTS Electronics Redline WR3200 firmware versions 7.1.3 through 7.1.7 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to access functionality not properly constrained by ACLs, leading to full compromise of the device. The CVSS 9.8 rating reflects network-reachable exploitation with no privileges or user interaction required, though no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The flaw maps to CWE-287 (Improper Authentication) and was reported through Turkey's national CERT (USOM).
Unauthenticated remote code execution in the JCE (Joomla Content Editor) extension for Joomla allows attackers to create editor profiles without authentication, then leverage that capability to upload and execute arbitrary PHP code on the server. With a CVSS 4.0 score of 10.0 and the CVSS:4.0 'U:Red' urgency flag set by the vendor, this represents a critical broken-access-control flaw, though no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.
Navigation restriction bypass in Google Chrome on Android prior to 149.0.7827.53 allows a local attacker to circumvent Reader Mode input validation by supplying a malicious file. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS scores exploitation probability at just 0.02% (4th percentile), but Google has released a fix in the stable channel. Chromium internally rates this as Low severity despite the elevated NVD CVSS of 7.7.
Navigation restriction bypass in Google Chrome's Lens component prior to version 149.0.7827.53 allows a remote attacker to circumvent browser security boundaries via a crafted HTML page. The flaw requires user interaction (UI:R) to trigger, but no authentication, and Google classifies the Chromium security severity as Low despite the NVD CVSS of 8.8. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
Site isolation bypass in Google Chrome versions prior to 149.0.7827.53 allows remote attackers to circumvent a core browser security boundary via a crafted HTML page. The flaw resides in the Opaque Response Blocking (ORB) implementation and requires user interaction (visiting a malicious page), with no public exploit identified at time of analysis and an EPSS score of 0.02% indicating low near-term exploitation likelihood.
Site isolation bypass in Google Chrome's Password Manager prior to version 149.0.7827.53 allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to escape cross-origin protections via a crafted HTML page. The flaw stems from insufficient policy enforcement (CWE-602) and chains with a prior renderer compromise, making it a post-exploitation primitive rather than a standalone entry point. EPSS is very low (0.02%, 4th percentile) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, though Google rates the underlying Chromium severity as Medium.
Same-origin policy bypass in Google Chrome's DevTools component prior to version 149.0.7827.53 allows remote attackers to violate browser security boundaries when victims perform specific UI gestures on attacker-controlled pages. The flaw stems from insufficient validation of untrusted input within DevTools and is rated High severity by Chromium with a CVSS of 8.8, though no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is very low at 0.02%.
Information disclosure in Microsoft Exchange Online allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to access data they should not be able to reach by abusing an improper authorization check (CWE-285) over the network. Microsoft has published a fix in its cloud service, and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis; EPSS rates exploitation probability very low (0.07%). Because Exchange Online is a Microsoft-operated SaaS offering, remediation is handled server-side by Microsoft rather than by customer patching.
Privilege elevation in Microsoft Azure HorizonDB lets a remote, unauthenticated attacker spoof authentication over the network and gain unauthorized elevated access. The flaw is a network-reachable authentication bypass by spoofing (CWE-290) carrying a 9.8 CVSS with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact; Microsoft has issued a fix via MSRC. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS remains very low (0.08%) despite the high severity.
Authorization bypass in DFIR-IRIS prior to v2.4.28 allows any authenticated user to read IOCs across cases they should not access, perform bulk IOC disclosure, and create cases without role checks via an optional GraphQL endpoint at /graphql. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the trivial nature of the IDOR (simply supplying an arbitrary caseId to the GraphQL resolver) makes weaponization straightforward for anyone with valid platform credentials. EPSS data not provided; the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV.
Unauthenticated remote code execution in Seagull Software BarTender 2010, 2016 (<=R9), and 2019 (<=R10) is reachable over TCP/7375 through the BtSystem.Service.exe .NET Remoting endpoint, which runs as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. The exposed singleton uses BinaryServerFormatterSinkProvider with TypeFilterLevel=Full, allowing attackers to abuse deserialization-style object unmarshalling to read/write arbitrary files, coerce NTLMv2 authentication via UNC paths, or pivot to full code execution. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the VulnCheck advisory documents the attack primitives in detail.
Authenticated users can bypass OPA authorization and modify or delete any Nuclio project and all associated resources in Nuclio Dashboard v1.15.26 and earlier. A missing membership check on PUT/DELETE project API paths allows any low‑privilege authenticated user to delete or modify projects, triggering cascading deletion of functions and API gateways. Exploitation requires only knowledge of a project name; publicly available exploit code exists but no active exploitation has been confirmed.
Account takeover in Better Auth's deviceAuthorization plugin (versions >= 1.6.0, < 1.6.11) allows an authenticated attacker who learns a pending user_code to bind a victim's polling device to the attacker's session or deny the legitimate sign-in. The flaw stems from a missing ownership claim at the verification step combined with a short-circuited owner check on approve/deny endpoints. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the patch PR and detailed advisory provide a clear roadmap for exploitation.
Authorization bypass in Kurt Software Studio WriteUp Mobile App versions 1.3.0 through 04062026 allows authenticated users to access functionality outside their permitted scope, leading to high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. The flaw, reported by Turkey's national CERT (TR-CERT), stems from missing ACL enforcement on application functions reachable over the network with low privileges. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV.
Authorization bypass in MISP versions through 2.5.38 lets authenticated users delete records via HTTP DELETE requests even after the application's delete-validation callback has rejected the operation. The root cause is an operator-precedence bug in the CRUDComponent::delete() handler where missing parentheses caused validation checks to be skipped for the DELETE method. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the upstream fix commit on GitHub publicly discloses the exact one-line vulnerable expression, making weaponization trivial.
Credential disclosure in GX Earth ONT (Optical Network Terminal) devices allows remote attackers positioned on the network path to capture administrative authentication material by sniffing the unencrypted HTTP web management interface. The flaw scores CVSS 4.0 8.7 (High) with CWE-319 (Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information), and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, though interception techniques are well-understood and trivial to execute on shared media.
Database flooding via unauthenticated abuse of Acer Connect M6E 5G Portable WiFi Router's registration endpoint allows remote attackers to exhaust storage by repeatedly invoking /v1/account/register without rate limiting, CAPTCHA, or other bot mitigation. The flaw affects firmware up to and including M6E_AI_1.00.000019 and carries a CVSS 4.0 score of 8.8 driven primarily by a high availability impact; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
Mass user data harvesting on the Acer Connect M6E 5G Portable WiFi Router is possible because the unauthenticated /v1/User/validate endpoint returns full user profile sheets keyed by predictable identifier strings. Remote attackers can iterate through identifiers to scrape every account's profile data without credentials, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis though the trivial attack pattern makes weaponization straightforward.
Unauthenticated exposure of internal multimedia session archives in the Acer Connect M6E 5G Portable WiFi Router lets remote attackers retrieve sensitive recorded session data, and overly permissive CORS rules amplify the issue by enabling cross-origin theft from any web context a victim visits. CVSS 4.0 rates this 8.8 (high) with network attack vector, no privileges, and no user interaction; no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Unauthorized eSIM profile manipulation in the Acer Connect M6E 5G Portable WiFi Router allows adjacent attackers to rewrite or delete cellular eSIM profiles without authentication because management API endpoints fail to validate caller authorization. The flaw maps to CWE-287 (Improper Authentication) and is reported by Acer with CVSS 4.0 score 7.2, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Authentication bypass in the Acer Connect M6E 5G Portable WiFi Router allows low-privileged remote attackers to reach a debug routine (SCREEN_CLICK opcode 5053) that skips the device login prompt and drops the caller directly into an interactive shell. CVSS 4.0 rates the issue 9.4 with scope change and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of both the router and connected subsystems; no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Authentication bypass in the Acer Connect M6E 5G Portable WiFi Router's M3WebServer production build exposes hard-coded backend API keys through verbose error pages, enabling remote unauthenticated attackers to harvest credentials and gain full administrative control over the device. CVSS 4.0 scores this 9.3 (Critical) with no privileges or user interaction required, though no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.
Authentication bypass on the local MQTT broker of the Acer Connect M6E 5G Portable WiFi Router (firmware M6E_AI_1.00.000019 and earlier) allows any connected client to subscribe with wildcard topics (# or +) and either enumerate hidden network devices or publish rogue control commands. CVSS 4.0 rates this 8.6 (High) with network attack vector and high confidentiality/integrity/availability impact; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not in CISA KEV.
Unauthenticated information disclosure in the SP Project & Document Manager WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 4.71) allows remote attackers to enumerate file metadata and obtain download links for arbitrary files stored within project folders. The flaw stems from a broken authorization gate in the view_file AJAX handler where a negated nonce check is OR-chained with permission checks, causing the entire condition to evaluate true when no valid nonce is supplied. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the CVSS 7.5 score reflects confidentiality-only impact with no integrity or availability consequences.
Plaintext exposure of pre-signed Backblaze B2 upload URLs in GNCC GP5 camera firmware v7.1.76 allows physically-proximate attackers with serial UART access to harvest live cloud storage tokens. The leaked PUT URLs enable unauthorized write operations against the device's Backblaze B2 cloud storage bucket until the tokens expire. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though a public research write-up describing the issue is referenced.
Hardcoded root credentials in T3 Technology CPE devices (models T625Pro v1.0.07, T6825G v1.0.03, and T7281 v1.0.03) allow remote unauthenticated attackers to gain full root-level control via the built-in 'superadmin' account. The CVSS 9.8 rating reflects network-reachable, no-interaction exploitation with total impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and SSVC marks the issue as automatable with total technical impact. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS remains very low (0.02%) despite the severity, suggesting limited current scanning activity.
Unauthenticated Telnet service activation in T3 Technology CPE devices (models T625Pro v1.0.07, T6825G v1.0.03, and T7281 v1.0.03) allows remote attackers to enable Telnet by sending a crafted request to a vulnerable CGI component in the web management interface. SSVC scores the technical impact as total with automatable exploitation and a public proof-of-concept available, although EPSS remains low at 0.02% and the CVE is not currently listed in CISA KEV.
Denial of service in Securly Chrome Extension 3.0.7 allows remote attackers to render all web browsing unusable when the extension's filtering service is unreachable. The extension dynamically registers an undeclared content script (content13.min.js) at runtime via chrome.scripting.registerContentScripts(), hiding every page behind a full-page overlay until the service worker validates the page; if Securly's servers fail or are blocked, pages remain indefinitely blank. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS rates exploitation probability at 0.02% (5th percentile).
Hardcoded cryptographic secrets in Securly Chrome Extension version 3.0.7 allow remote attackers to decrypt sensitive crisis alert keyword lists and intervention site data shipped with the extension. The plaintext AES passphrases embedded in securly.min.js can be extracted by anyone who installs or inspects the extension, exposing the proprietary detection logic used to safeguard students. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and EPSS rates exploitation probability at 0.02% (4th percentile), but the trivial extractability of the keys means any motivated actor can replicate the disclosure.
Remote code execution in OpenStack Mistral through version 22.0.0 allows authenticated attackers with low privileges to execute arbitrary code via exposed API endpoints, leading to exfiltration of service credentials and full compromise of the workflow service. The CVSS 9.9 score reflects scope change (S:C) meaning impact extends beyond Mistral itself into other OpenStack components whose credentials it holds. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the vulnerability is tagged as Authentication Bypass and RCE, and disclosure occurred via oss-security with vendor coordination.
Firewall bypass in the Linux kernel's netfilter nft_inner module (versions 6.2 and later) allows remote attackers to forge transport headers in tunneled IPv6 packets due to a desynchronization between the computed inner transport header offset and the parsed L4 protocol. The flaw enables crafted IPv6 packets carrying extension headers to evade nftables inner-payload matching rules, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis and an EPSS score of 0.02% indicating negligible observed exploitation activity.
Unauthorized object deletion in GLPI versions 9.5.0 through 10.0.24 and 11.0.0 through 11.0.6 allows authenticated low-privilege users with planning access to delete arbitrary objects across the asset and IT management platform. The flaw stems from a missing authorization check (CWE-862) tied to the planning module, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Patches are available in 10.0.25 and 11.0.7.
Arbitrary file deletion in GLPI versions 0.78 through 10.0.24 and 11.0.0 through 11.0.6 allows authenticated technicians to remove any file on the webserver filesystem to which the web process has write permissions. The flaw is tracked as a missing authorization issue (CWE-862) and is tagged as an authentication bypass; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Origin validation bypass in Jupyter Server 1.12.0 through 2.17.0 lets remote attackers defeat CORS origin checks whenever the optional allow_origin_pat configuration is enabled. Because origin matching uses re.match() (anchored only at the start of the string), an attacker-controlled lookalike domain such as trusted.example.com.evil.com satisfies a pattern meant to allow only trusted.example.com, exposing CORS-protected responses, WebSocket kernels, referer checks, and login redirects. Publicly available exploit code exists via the huntr report, but EPSS is very low (0.02%) and SSVC rates exploitation as POC-only and not automatable, so there is no evidence of widespread active exploitation.
Authorization bypass in GLPI IT asset management software (versions 0.78 through 10.0.24 and 11.0.0 through 11.0.6) permits an authenticated user holding only the config READ permission to access a specific asset object that should be outside their authorization scope. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and CISA's SSVC framework rates exploitation as 'none' with partial technical impact. Vendor patches are available in 10.0.25 and 11.0.7.
