The Tekton Pipelines git resolver contains a path traversal vulnerability allowing authenticated tenants to read arbitrary files from the resolver pod's filesystem via the pathInRepo parameter. Affected products include github.com/tektoncd/pipeline versions 1.0.0 through 1.10.0 across multiple release branches. The vulnerability enables credential exfiltration and privilege escalation from namespace-scoped access to cluster-wide secret reading capabilities. A proof-of-concept was provided by the vulnerability reporter Oleh Konko.

Local privilege escalation in Linux kernel AppArmor allows low-privilege users to manipulate security policy via confused deputy attack. Attackers pass file descriptors for apparmorfs interfaces to privileged processes, enabling full policy management capabilities including disabling confinement and bypassing user namespace restrictions. Publicly available exploit code exists. EPSS score 0.01% suggests low widespread exploitation probability. Patches released for kernel 6.12.77, 6.18.18, 6.19.8, and 7.0-rc4 with multiple distribution advisories available.

Arturia Software Center on macOS installs plugin uninstall scripts with world-writable permissions (777) in root-owned directories, allowing local attackers to modify these scripts and achieve privilege escalation when the Privileged Helper executes them during plugin removal. This vulnerability affects any macOS user with the Arturia Software Center installed and requires local access and user interaction to exploit. No patch is currently available.

The KiviCare clinic management plugin for WordPress contains a critical privilege escalation vulnerability allowing unauthenticated attackers to create new clinics and administrative users through an unprotected REST API endpoint. All versions up to and including 4.1.2 are affected. With a CVSS score of 8.2 and network-based exploitation requiring no authentication, this represents a significant risk to healthcare data confidentiality and system integrity, though no active exploitation (KEV) or public proof-of-concept has been documented at this time.

The Arturia Software Center on macOS contains insufficient code signature validation in its Privileged Helper component, allowing unauthenticated clients to connect and execute privileged actions without proper authorization. This vulnerability affects all versions of Arturia Software Center and enables local privilege escalation attacks where an unprivileged user can escalate to root or system-level privileges. While no CVSS score or EPSS data is publicly available, the authentication bypass nature and privilege escalation impact classify this as a high-severity issue; no KEV listing or public proof-of-concept has been confirmed at this time.

This vulnerability in Dahua NVR/XVR devices allows unauthenticated privilege escalation through the serial port console by bypassing shell authentication mechanisms. Affected devices include Dahua NVR2-4KS3, XVR4232AN-I/T, and XVR1B16H-I/T models with build dates prior to March 3, 2026. An attacker with physical access to the device can gain a restricted shell and escalate privileges to access sensitive system functions, though the CVSS 2.4 score reflects the requirement for physical proximity and lack of data availability impact.

MuraCMS through version 10.1.10 contains a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the user management Add To Group functionality that allows attackers to escalate privileges by adding authenticated users to arbitrary groups without proper authorization validation. An authenticated administrator visiting a malicious webpage can be tricked into adding any user to the Admin group or other privileged groups, though escalation to the Super Admin (s2) group is blocked. This vulnerability enables both horizontal privilege escalation across different user groups and vertical privilege escalation to administrative roles, posing a significant risk to multi-user MuraCMS installations where administrator accounts are targeted.

Privilege escalation in Wazuh Manager versions 3.9.0 through 4.14.2 allows authenticated cluster nodes to achieve unauthenticated root code execution by exploiting insecure file permissions in the cluster synchronization protocol. An attacker with cluster node access can overwrite the manager's configuration file to inject malicious commands that are subsequently executed with root privileges by the logcollector service. This vulnerability affects multi-node Wazuh deployments and has no available patch.

Local privilege escalation in snapd on multiple Ubuntu versions allows authenticated local attackers to obtain root access by exploiting a race condition between snap's temporary directory creation and systemd-tmpfiles cleanup operations. An attacker with local access can manipulate the /tmp directory to escalate privileges when snapd attempts to recreate its private snap directories. This vulnerability affects Ubuntu 16.04 LTS through 24.04 LTS with no patch currently available.

A second-order SQL injection vulnerability exists in Admidio's MyList configuration feature, allowing authenticated users to inject arbitrary SQL commands through list column configurations that are safely stored but unsafely read back. The vulnerability enables attackers to read sensitive data including password hashes, modify database contents, or achieve full database compromise. A detailed proof-of-concept is available demonstrating exploitation requiring only standard user privileges.

Unauthenticated attackers can register administrator accounts in Docker when self-registration is enabled and default user permissions include admin privileges, as the signup handler fails to strip admin permissions from self-registered accounts. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability. No patch is currently available.

Glances monitoring system allows local attackers with limited privileges to execute arbitrary commands by injecting shell metacharacters into process or container names, which bypass command sanitization in the action execution handler. The vulnerability affects the threshold alert system that dynamically executes administrator-configured shell commands populated with runtime monitoring data. An attacker controlling a process name or container name can manipulate command parsing to break out of intended command boundaries and inject malicious commands.

LAPSWebUI before version 2.4 by Truesec improperly caches LAPS (Local Administrator Password Solution) passwords in browser storage, allowing a local attacker with user-level access to retrieve plaintext or weakly protected admin credentials from the browser cache. An attacker who gains access to a workstation where an administrator has used LAPSWebUI can escalate privileges to local administrator by exploiting this caching behavior. While the CVSS score is moderate at 6.0, the practical impact is high because successful exploitation directly enables privilege escalation to administrative access.

LAPSWebUI before version 2.4 contains a non-functional logout mechanism that allows an authenticated local attacker to obtain elevated privileges through disclosure of cached local administrator passwords. An attacker with existing workstation access and low privileges can exploit this flaw to escalate to local admin by recovering credentials that should have been cleared upon session termination. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v4.0 score of 6.0 (Medium) with local attack vector and requires prior login plus user interaction, though the confidentiality impact on sensitive credentials is marked as high.

Insufficient Session Expiration in Truesec's LAPSWebUI before version 2.4 allows local attackers with user-level privileges to obtain local administrator passwords through inadequate session management controls. An attacker with physical or logical access to a workstation can exploit this vulnerability to escalate privileges and disclose sensitive credentials, potentially compromising domain administration. This vulnerability represents a practical privilege escalation risk in environments relying on LAPS (Local Administrator Password Solution) for credential management.
