Privilege Escalation

Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in Pandora FMS versions 777-800 enables authenticated attackers to escalate privileges through the API Checker extension. Attackers with low-privilege network access can force the server to make arbitrary requests, potentially accessing internal resources and escalating to higher confidentiality impact (CVSS VC:H). EPSS data not available; no confirmed active exploitation (not in CISA KEV). Vendor has acknowledged the issue per PandoraFMS security advisory, indicating patch development is likely underway.

Unauthenticated arbitrary file read in dalfox REST API server mode allows remote attackers to exfiltrate sensitive files from the host filesystem. The vulnerability chains two flaws: missing authentication middleware when no API key is set (default configuration), and unsanitized deserialization of the `custom-payload-file` JSON parameter directly into the scan engine. Remote attackers can supply any file path (e.g., `/etc/passwd`, `~/.ssh/id_rsa`, cloud credential files) and the engine reads each line, embeds it as an XSS payload, and transmits it to an attacker-controlled HTTP endpoint via dalfox's own scan traffic. No exploit code is publicly identified at time of analysis; vendor-released patch available in version 2.13.0.

Local privilege escalation in Ivanti Endpoint Manager agent allows authenticated users to gain SYSTEM-level privileges via incorrect file or registry permissions. Affects all versions prior to 2024 SU6. Vendor has released a patch (version 2024 SU6). No evidence of active exploitation or public POC identified at time of analysis, though EPSS data not available. Organizations running EPM agents on managed endpoints should prioritize patching given the high CVSS score (7.8) and potential for lateral movement across enterprise environments.

Race condition in Ivanti Secure Access Client enables local privilege escalation to SYSTEM from low-privileged accounts. Affects versions before 22.8R6. An authenticated local user can exploit timing vulnerabilities in the client software to gain complete system control. While limited to local attack vector (requires existing access to the target system), the low attack complexity (AC:L) and lack of user interaction requirement (UI:N) make this exploitable once local access is achieved. No public exploit code identified at time of analysis, and EPSS risk scoring not yet available for this 2026 CVE.

Privilege escalation in Turboard FOR-S allows remote unauthenticated attackers to gain elevated access by exploiting incorrect authorization checks, requiring only user interaction. The vulnerability affects versions 7.01.2026 through 17.02.2026, with fix available in version 18.02.2026. Turkish national CERT (TR-CERT) reported this authorization bypass vulnerability (CWE-863), which enables attackers to compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected business intelligence platform.

Remote unauthenticated attackers can access confidential data from other users' chat sessions in Spring AI applications due to insecure default configuration in the chat memory component. The vulnerability allows network-based exploitation with no authentication required (CVSS:3.1 AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) and impacts confidentiality only (C:H/I:N/A:N), enabling cross-user data leakage in multi-tenant AI chat implementations. Reported by VMware, affecting Java-based Spring AI deployments where developers have not explicitly configured chat memory isolation.

Weak credential generation in Ingeteam's Ingecon Sun EMS Board Technical Support access mechanism allows remote privilege escalation via cryptographic weakness. The SAT (Technical Support) access feature generates credentials using a weak hashing algorithm instead of cryptographically secure methods, enabling attackers to predict or derive privileged access credentials. CVSS 9.2 reflects network-accessible attack with high complexity but no authentication required. INCIBE coordinated disclosure confirms vendor patch availability, and a practical analysis of the vulnerability has been published by ReverseMode, indicating detailed technical understanding exists in the research community.

Privilege escalation in Outline (the collaborative wiki/knowledge-base) versions 0.84.0 through 1.6.1 lets a malicious OAuth client smuggle the wildcard '*' scope by requesting a mixed scope string such as 'read *', turning a token the user believes is read-only into one with full write, delete, and admin API access. The flaw is a logic error in OAuthInterface.validateScope(), which uses Array.some() so the whole requested scope set passes validation as long as one element is valid. Publicly available exploit code exists (SSVC: PoC), but there is no evidence of active exploitation and EPSS is very low at 0.03% (8th percentile).

Local privilege escalation in Pi-hole (Core 6.0 through before 6.4.2, FTL through before 6.6.1) lets a user with pihole privileges gain root by injecting an arbitrary path into the unvalidated files.pid config value, which root-run systemd hooks (pihole-FTL-prestart.sh and pihole-FTL-poststop.sh) use in privileged install and rm -f operations. On a default install this enables root-level write access via SSH authorized_keys manipulation. SSVC rates technical impact as total, but there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is negligible (0.01%).

Sandbox escape vulnerability in Apple operating systems allows malicious apps with low privileges to break out of application sandbox and execute code with elevated privileges on the host system. Affects iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS, and watchOS across multiple versions. Apple has released patches for all affected platforms. EPSS score of 0.02% (7th percentile) indicates low probability of mass exploitation in the wild, though the CVSS 8.8 score reflects significant potential impact if successfully weaponized. No active exploitation confirmed at time of analysis.

Local privilege escalation in macOS allows authenticated users with low-level access to gain root privileges through a permissions enforcement flaw. Affects macOS Tahoe (pre-26.4), Sequoia (pre-15.7.7), and Sonoma (pre-14.8.7). Apple has released patches for all affected versions. Despite CVSS 7.8, EPSS score of 0.01% indicates minimal observed exploitation activity. No public exploit code identified at time of analysis, though the local attack vector and low complexity suggest post-compromise utility rather than initial access vector.

Local privilege escalation in macOS Sequoia, Sonoma, and Tahoe allows applications to gain root privileges through a state handling flaw in the operating system. Apple patched this consistency issue in macOS Sequoia 15.7.7, Sonoma 14.8.7, and Tahoe 26.5. Despite the high CVSS score (7.8), EPSS indicates only 0.02% exploitation probability (4th percentile), no public exploit code identified at time of analysis, and no CISA KEV listing, suggesting this is not yet widely exploited but represents a significant risk in multi-user or untrusted application environments.

Local privilege escalation in Wellbia XIGNCODE3 anti-cheat driver (xhunter1.sys) allows any low-privileged user process to obtain a PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS handle to arbitrary processes by sending the IRP_MJ_REITS command to the kernel driver. Because XIGNCODE3 is bundled with many online games and runs with kernel privileges, a local attacker on an affected gaming system can hijack high-integrity processes including LSASS. Publicly available exploit code exists in the form of a detailed write-up, though EPSS exploitation probability remains very low at 0.02%.

Privilege escalation and OS command execution in CloudNativePG (CNPG) versions prior to 1.28.3 and 1.29.1 allow low-privileged PostgreSQL roles to gain superuser access and execute arbitrary commands inside the primary database pod. The metrics exporter connects as the postgres superuser and only demotes via SET ROLE, leaving session_user as superuser; an attacker who owns a database (including the default `app` role) can shadow unqualified identifiers like `current_database()` referenced in the stock `default-monitoring.yaml`, triggering the chain on the next scrape (≤30s). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the vulnerability is highly impactful (CVSS 9.4) and affects default deployments without custom metrics.

Authorization bypass and privilege escalation in pgAdmin 4 server mode allows authenticated users to access other users' private database servers, credentials, and background processes by guessing object IDs. Attackers can execute arbitrary shell commands as the server owner by modifying the passexec_cmd field through unprotected API endpoints. The vulnerability combines horizontal privilege escalation (accessing peer users' objects), vertical escalation (executing commands as owner), and credential theft (SSL keys, passfiles). No public exploit code identified at time of analysis, but exploitation requires only low-privilege authentication with no user interaction (CVSS PR:L/UI:N). EPSS data not provided; CISA KEV status not confirmed.

Broken object-level authorization in HireFlow v1.2 exposes all candidate profiles and interview notes to any authenticated user via direct object reference. Attackers with valid low-privilege credentials can enumerate integer IDs in /candidate/<id> and /interview/<id> endpoints to access the entire database, enabling full horizontal privilege escalation and complete data breach. No vendor patch identified at time of analysis. EPSS data not available; no evidence of active exploitation (not in CISA KEV).

Privilege escalation in Plainpad versions prior to 1.1.1 allows any authenticated user to immediately grant themselves administrator privileges via a single HTTP PUT request to the user update endpoint. The vulnerability stems from the API directly accepting the admin parameter from user input without verifying the requesting user's existing privilege level. Affected instances enable low-privilege accounts to bypass authorization controls and access admin-only functionality with no special conditions beyond basic authentication. No public exploit code or active exploitation confirmed at time of analysis, though exploitation requires minimal technical skill given the straightforward attack vector (CVSS AV:N/AC:L/PR:L).

Privilege escalation in Snipe-IT versions before 8.4.1 allows an authenticated user holding only the `users.edit` permission to grant themselves the `admin` role by sending a PATCH request to `/api/v1/users/{id}` with `permissions[admin]=1`. The API user controller sanitized only the `superuser` key from the submitted permissions array, leaving `admin` and every other permission assignable by any account able to edit users. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and the EPSS score is very low (0.01%), but the trivial exploit primitive and full admin takeover make this a high-severity issue (vendor CVSS 4.0 8.7).

Privilege escalation in the Avo admin framework for Ruby on Rails (all 3.x versions prior to 3.31.2) lets any authenticated low-privilege user invoke arbitrary Action classes against arbitrary resources, because the ActionsController resolves actions by name across all Avo::BaseAction descendants without checking resource registration. An attacker can trigger sensitive operations such as ToggleAdmin on records they should not control, resulting in unauthorized data manipulation and role escalation across the entire application. A proof-of-concept exists in the GitHub advisory (SSVC exploitation: poc); this is no public exploit identified as actively exploited, and EPSS is low at 0.04%.

SQL injection in MikroORM versions ≤7.0.13 (v7) and ≤6.6.13 (v6) allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries by injecting malicious characters into schema names, JSON property filters, or query builder keys. The vulnerability stems from improper escaping of dialect-specific quote characters in identifier-quoting and JSON-path functions. Multi-tenant applications are at heightened risk of cross-tenant data leakage. Vendor-released patches are available: upgrade to 7.0.14 (v7) or 6.6.14 (v6). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the vulnerability was discovered during internal security review by the project maintainer.

Time-of-check-to-time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition in Linux kernel's rust_binder implementation allows local authenticated attackers with low privileges to escalate privileges. The flaw exists in transaction offset array handling where values copied to a target process's read-only VMA are read back without protection against concurrent modification. If an attacker can write to their own supposedly read-only VMA through a separate vulnerability, they can modify offsets between write and read operations, causing the kernel to misinterpret transaction data and potentially enabling privilege escalation into the sending process. Patch available in kernel versions 6.18.19, 6.19.9, and 7.0. EPSS score of 0.02% suggests limited real-world exploitation likelihood despite CVSS 7.8 severity.

Local privilege escalation in the Xen hypervisor, disclosed as one of five issues under Xen Security Advisory XSA-489 (alongside CVE-2026-23559/23560/23562/42486), lets a malicious or compromised guest run code with more privilege than intended and cross the guest/host trust boundary. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:L, scope-changed with high confidentiality, integrity and availability impact to subsequent systems) indicates a guest can affect the underlying host and other guests, consistent with the CWE-250 'execution with unnecessary privileges' root cause. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV.

Privilege escalation in the Xen hypervisor (addressed in Xen Security Advisory XSA-489) allows an attacker executing within a guest VM to break isolation and compromise the underlying host, per its CVSS 4.0 subsequent-system impact of High across confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The flaw is rooted in execution with unnecessary privileges (CWE-250) and is one of several issues (CVE-2026-23559 through -23562 and CVE-2026-42486) disclosed together in XSA-489 v2. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but a CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.4 marks it as critical for multi-tenant virtualization environments.

Local privilege escalation in the Xen hypervisor, disclosed as part of Xen Security Advisory 489 (XSA-489, which bundles CVE-2026-23559 through CVE-2026-23562 and CVE-2026-42486), allows a malicious or compromised guest domain to break guest/host isolation and gain full control over the hypervisor and co-tenant guests. The CWE-250 (Execution with Unnecessary Privileges) root cause combined with the CVSS 4.0 scope-changed, high-impact-across-the-board vector (VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H) indicates a guest-to-host escalation rather than a mere in-guest issue. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV.

Privilege escalation in the Xen hypervisor (disclosed as XSA-489, CVE-2026-23559, one of a bundle of RB-tree/related flaws alongside CVE-2026-23560/23561/23562/42486) allows a malicious or compromised guest to escape guest confinement and compromise the host, with full confidentiality, integrity and availability impact on both the guest and the surrounding system. The CVSS 4.0 vector (9.4) indicates a local attack surface with scope-changed high subsequent-system impact, consistent with a guest-to-hypervisor escalation. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV; disclosure is currently pre-NVD via the oss-security mailing list.

Privilege escalation in the Xen hypervisor (tracked in Xen Security Advisory XSA-489, bundled with CVE-2026-23559 through CVE-2026-23562) allows a local attacker operating within a guest context to break isolation and gain control over the underlying host. The CWE-250 root cause (execution with unnecessary privileges) combined with a scope-changing CVSS 4.0 vector (9.4) means a compromised or malicious guest can impact the host and other co-resident guests. This was disclosed pre-NVD via the oss-security mailing list on 2026/04/29; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.

Local attackers with standard user accounts can escalate to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM privileges in Acer PredatorSense V3 versions 3.00.3136 through 3.00.3196. The gaming utility software exposes a misconfigured Windows Named Pipe allowing arbitrary code execution and file deletion with SYSTEM privileges. CVSS 8.5 (High) reflects severe local impact with low complexity exploitation. No active exploitation confirmed (not in CISA KEV) and no public exploit code identified at time of analysis, though the technical details provided enable development of proof-of-concept code.

Local attackers with standard user credentials can escalate privileges to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM in NAVER MYBOX Explorer for Windows through registry manipulation. The vulnerability affects versions prior to 3.0.11.160 and stems from improper privilege checks, allowing complete system control on compromised endpoints. EPSS risk is low at 0.02% (4th percentile), indicating minimal observed exploitation probability. No active exploitation has been reported and this vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV.

Local privilege escalation in Akamai Guardicore Platform Agent 7.0-7.3.1 and Zero Trust Client 6.0-6.1.5 on Linux and macOS enables unprivileged users to gain root access through two distinct vectors: a TOCTOU race condition in the HandleSaveLogs() function that creates world-writable root-owned files via symlink manipulation in /tmp, and command injection in the gimmelogs diagnostic tool executing with root privileges. The vulnerability requires local access with high attack complexity (CVSS AC:H) but no authentication (PR:N), affecting endpoint security agents that typically run with elevated privileges. No active exploitation confirmed at time of analysis; EPSS data not available for this 2026 CVE identifier.

SQL injection in Flight PHP framework's SimplePdo database helpers allows privilege escalation through crafted array keys. Applications forwarding user-controlled request data shapes to insert(), update(), or delete() methods enable remote authenticated attackers to inject arbitrary SQL, create administrative accounts, modify sensitive columns, or exfiltrate data. Vendor-released patch in version 3.18.1 validates identifiers with safe-identifier regex. Publicly available proof-of-concept demonstrates privilege escalation via malicious JSON request keys. Researcher @Rootingg discovered and reported through GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-xwqr-rcqg-22mr.

Privilege escalation in Grav CMS 2.0.0-beta.2 allows authenticated API users with minimal media.write permissions to fabricate super-admin accounts via arbitrary YAML file upload. The /api/v1/blueprint-upload endpoint accepts attacker-controlled destination and scope parameters that, when combined with specific values (destination=self@: and scope=users/anything), write files directly into user/accounts/. Because Grav parses YAML files in this directory as authoritative user accounts and accepts plaintext passwords on first login, attackers craft a new account with api.super privileges, then authenticate as that account to gain full administrative control. Publicly available exploit code exists (detailed PoC in vendor advisory). Vendor-released patch restricts accounts directory uploads to image-only extensions and blocks config-bearing file types (YAML, JSON, Twig) across all blueprint-upload targets.

Privilege escalation in OpenClaw 2026.3.31 through 2026.4.9 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to maintain elevated execution context by injecting malicious async completion events that bypass heartbeat owner-downgrade detection. The flaw stems from incomplete pattern matching in local background exec completion filtering, enabling attackers to submit untrusted completion content that prevents proper privilege de-escalation after operations complete. Vendor-released patch available in version 2026.4.10 and later. No evidence of active exploitation (not in CISA KEV) or public exploit code at time of analysis, but CVSS 9.1 critical rating reflects network-accessible attack surface with no authentication required.

LDAP filter injection in Netflix Lemur certificate management platform allows authenticated users with valid LDAP credentials to escalate privileges to administrator by injecting metacharacters into the username field during login. Attackers manipulate group membership queries to gain unauthorized admin roles, enabling access to all certificates, private keys via /certificates/<id>/key endpoint, and CA configurations. Vendor-released patch confirmed in version 1.9.0 (GitHub advisory GHSA-3r34-vq8m-39gh). CVSS 8.1 indicates high confidentiality and integrity impact with low attack complexity from network-authenticated attackers. No public exploit code identified at time of analysis, though detailed reproduction steps exist in the advisory.

XML external entity injection in Vvveb CMS versions before 1.0.8.2 allows authenticated site_admin users to read arbitrary server files and overwrite administrator password hashes via the admin Tools/Import feature. The vulnerability resides in system/import/xml.php where LIBXML_NOENT flag enabled external entity resolution, allowing injection of file:// and php://filter protocols. Attackers with low-privilege admin accounts can escalate to full administrator access by replacing password hashes in the database. Vendor-released patch version 1.0.8.2 removes LIBXML_NOENT flag. No active exploitation confirmed by CISA KEV at time of analysis.

Privilege escalation in Google Chrome's Cast component (versions prior to 148.0.7778.96) allows remote attackers to elevate from renderer to higher-privilege browser process via specially crafted HTML page after initial renderer compromise. Despite 7.5 CVSS score, Chromium security team rates this as Low severity, indicating limited real-world impact. Vendor patch released in version 148.0.7778.96. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Local privilege escalation in Google Chrome's macOS Updater component allows attackers to gain OS-level administrative privileges through malicious files. The flaw affects Chrome versions prior to 148.0.7778.96 on macOS and requires user interaction to exploit. Google has released Chrome 148.0.7778.96 to address this vulnerability. Despite the 7.8 CVSS score, Google rates this as Low severity, reflecting the local attack vector and user interaction requirement that significantly constrain real-world exploitation scenarios.

Local privilege escalation in Google Chrome Chromoting (prior to 148.0.7778.96) on Windows allows attackers to gain elevated OS-level privileges by tricking users into opening a malicious file. While CVSS scores this as high severity (7.8), real-world risk is tempered by local access and required user interaction (CVSS: AV:L/UI:R). Vendor patch available in version 148.0.7778.96 released May 2026. No active exploitation (CISA KEV) or public exploit code identified at time of analysis.

Local privilege escalation in Google Chrome's Windows updater component allows unprivileged users to gain SYSTEM-level access by exploiting insufficient input validation when the updater processes a specially crafted malicious file. Affects all Chrome versions on Windows prior to 148.0.7778.96. Google has released a patched version (148.0.7778.96). No active exploitation confirmed by CISA KEV at time of analysis, though the local attack vector and medium severity rating suggest potential for targeted attacks in enterprise environments where Chrome auto-update may be delayed.

OS-level privilege escalation in Google Chrome for macOS allows remote attackers to gain elevated system privileges through malicious network traffic exploiting the Companion component. Affects all Chrome versions prior to 148.0.7778.96 on Mac. Vendor-released patch available (Chrome 148.0.7778.96). No public exploit or active exploitation confirmed at time of analysis, though high-complexity network-based attack vector (CVSS AV:N/AC:H) suggests specialized exploitation requirements despite unauthenticated remote access.

Local privilege escalation in Google Chrome Chromoting (remote desktop component) allows authenticated Windows users to gain elevated system privileges through a race condition exploit triggered by a malicious file. Fixed in Chrome 148.0.7778.96. The vulnerability requires user interaction and high attack complexity (AC:H), limiting automated exploitation despite the 7.5 CVSS score. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and not listed in CISA KEV.

Privilege escalation in Google Chrome versions prior to 148.0.7778.96 enables remote attackers to elevate privileges through malicious HTML pages exploiting improper cookie validation.

CVSS score of 8.8 indicates high severity across confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Vendor-released patch available in Chrome 148.0.7778.96 per Google's stable channel update. EPSS and KEV data not provided; exploitation status unknown at time of analysis.

Use-after-free memory corruption in Chrome Remote Desktop (Chromoting) on Windows enables local privilege escalation to SYSTEM via malicious file interaction. Attackers with local access can gain OS-level administrative control by inducing users to open specially crafted files processed by the Chromoting component. Patch available in Chrome 148.0.7778.96. No evidence of active exploitation (not in CISA KEV), but the local attack vector with low complexity and high impact warrants immediate patching for Windows Chrome deployments, especially in multi-user environments where privilege boundaries are critical.

Local privilege escalation in Google Chrome for Android prior to 148.0.7778.96 allows attackers to elevate privileges through malicious files exploiting insufficient policy enforcement in DevTools. The vulnerability requires user interaction to open a crafted file but grants no authentication requirement (PR:N) for the initial attack vector. Google released patch version 148.0.7778.96 addressing this high-severity flaw. EPSS data not available; no CISA KEV listing or public POC identified at time of analysis, suggesting exploitation remains theoretical or non-widespread.

Grav CMS Admin Panel allows authenticated users with only user-creation permissions to overwrite administrator accounts by submitting the admin's username when creating a new user. The flawed create-or-update logic replaces the existing super-admin account metadata with attacker-supplied low-privilege data, locking the legitimate administrator out and causing complete loss of management control. Vendor-released patch: fixed in 2.0.0-beta.2 (commit d904efc33). Publicly available exploit code exists (video PoC published by Grav maintainers). EPSS data not provided, but the low attack complexity and confirmed PoC make exploitation straightforward for any low-privileged user with create-user rights.

Unauthenticated privilege escalation in Grav CMS Login plugin 3.8.0 allows remote attackers to self-register with admin.super privileges via missing server-side validation of groups and access fields. When administrators configure user registration with groups or access in allowed fields (a permitted UI action), attackers inject these fields into registration POST requests to bypass config-level defaults and gain full administrative access. Vendor-released patch: Login plugin 3.8.2 / Grav 2.0.0-beta.2 (commit 3d419a0). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the GitHub security advisory includes detailed proof-of-concept code demonstrating the attack.

Privilege escalation in Grav API Plugin (versions < 1.0.0-beta.15) allows any authenticated user with basic 'api.access' permission to elevate themselves to Super Administrator by sending a crafted PATCH request to modify their own permission configuration. The vulnerability, confirmed by vendor GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-r945-h4vm-h736, stems from inadequate authorization checks in the UsersController::update method, which permits self-editing users to overwrite the 'access' field containing role definitions. Successful exploitation grants complete CMS control including the ability to edit Twig templates outside sandbox restrictions for remote code execution. A detailed proof-of-concept is publicly available, and vendor-released patch is confirmed in version 1.0.0-beta.15.

Privilege escalation in JupyterLab 4.0.0 through 4.5.6 allows authenticated users to bypass extension allow-list controls and install arbitrary PyPI packages, enabling potential data exfiltration and lateral movement in multi-tenant deployments. The PyPI Extension Manager failed to enforce the `allowed_extensions_uris` configuration, permitting installation of packages outside the approved list. This vulnerability is particularly critical in shared educational environments (JupyterHub) and multi-tenant deployments where kernel/terminal access is restricted. Vendor-released patch available in JupyterLab v4.5.7. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though exploitation requires only authenticated access with low complexity (CVSS AC:L).

Stack buffer overflow in Sandboxie-Plus SbieSvc proxy service enables SYSTEM privilege escalation from sandboxed processes, including Security Hardened Sandboxes. Attackers chain an information disclosure (returning up to 32KB uninitialized stack memory with ASLR/stack cookie bypass) with an unbounded memcpy overflow in the GetRawInputDeviceInfoSlave IPC handler. Intel CET shadow stacks block ROP exploitation but not the information leak itself. Vendor-released patch available in version 1.17.3. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but attack complexity is rated high (AC:H) with low privilege requirements (PR:L), making this viable for motivated attackers targeting sandbox environments.

INI injection in Sandboxie-Plus versions 1.17.2 and earlier enables any local low-privilege user to bypass EditAdminOnly and ConfigPassword protections, inject malicious directives into the global Sandboxie.ini file, create unrestricted sandbox sections, and escalate to SYSTEM privileges. The background service fails to authorize IPC messages for UserSettings_* sections and does not sanitize CRLF characters in MSGID_SBIE_INI_ADD_SETTING and MSGID_SBIE_INI_SET_SETTING parameters, allowing section header injection. Fixed in version 1.17.3 released by the vendor. No CISA KEV listing or public exploit identified at time of analysis, but technical details in GitHub advisory provide sufficient information for exploit development.

Unauthenticated remote code execution in AVideo ≤29.0 allows attackers to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript in the browsers of any logged-in users through a WebSocket message relay bypass. An attacker obtains a WebSocket token without authentication from plugin/YPTSocket/getWebSocket.json.php, connects to the WebSocket server, and sends a crafted message with autoEvalCodeOnHTML nested under the json field instead of msg. The incomplete server-side sanitization from prior fix c08694bf6 (GHSA-gph2-j4c9-vhhr) only strips autoEvalCodeOnHTML from $json['msg'], but the relay function msgToResourceId() preferentially selects $msg['json'] as the outbound message carrier. The payload bypasses sanitization, reaches the victim's browser via WebSocket relay, and executes through eval() at plugin/YPTSocket/script.js:573-575. Vendor-released patch: commit 9f3006f9a (recursive stripping across all message carriers). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the advisory includes functional proof-of-concept Python code.

Unauthenticated attackers can escalate privileges in OpenCTI 6.6.0-6.9.12 by impersonating any user account, including the default administrator, to query the threat intelligence platform's API without providing credentials. This authentication bypass (CWE-287) permits complete unauthorized access to cyber threat intelligence data with CVSS 9.8 critical severity. The vulnerability allows attackers to bypass all authentication controls and assume administrative privileges remotely with low attack complexity. Fixed in version 6.9.13 with workaround available via configuration change. No active exploitation (CISA KEV) or public POC confirmed at time of analysis, though EPSS data was not provided.

OpenClaw npm package versions 2026.4.5 through 2026.4.9 allow privilege escalation from write-scoped operators to administrator-level configuration access. Authenticated attackers with 'operator.write' gateway credentials can modify persistent memory dreaming settings via the /dreaming endpoint, bypassing intended admin-only restrictions. Vendor-released patch available (v2026.4.10); no active exploitation confirmed at time of analysis.

Privilege escalation in OpenClaw npm package versions 2026.4.7 through 2026.4.13 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to preserve elevated execution context by sending malicious webhook wake events. The heartbeat owner downgrade logic incorrectly skips validation of untrusted webhook payloads, enabling attackers to maintain owner-like privileges during runs that should operate with reduced permissions. Vendor-released patch available in version 2026.4.14. EPSS data not available; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, though VulnCheck and security researchers from KeenSecurityLab have confirmed the vulnerability through coordinated disclosure.

Remote unauthenticated trust boundary violation in OpenClaw npm package before 2026.4.10 allows attackers to escalate untrusted external hook input into trusted system events. By supplying malicious hook metadata, adversaries can inject arbitrary content into the agent context with elevated privileges, bypassing security boundaries intended to isolate external input from system-level operations. Vendor-released patch available (version 2026.4.10+), with no evidence of active exploitation or public exploit code at time of analysis.

Local privilege escalation in Amazon WorkSpaces for Windows versions before 2.6.2034.0 enables authenticated low-privileged users to write arbitrary files to protected system locations, achieving SYSTEM-level access. The vulnerability exploits a race condition (CWE-367) in the Skylight Workspace Config Service's log rotation mechanism. No public exploit or active exploitation confirmed at time of analysis, but local access requirement limits attack surface to compromised user accounts or insider threats.

Authenticated attackers can escalate privileges to administrator in Pelican Web User Interface versions 7.21 through 7.24 by manipulating database records before legitimate admin users log in. This vulnerability was discovered by a Claude coding agent on April 2, 2026, and affects servers with Server.UIAdminUsers or Server.AdminGroups configured where designated admins have not previously authenticated. No public exploit code exists, and Pelican Command Line reports no confirmed exploitation in OSDF-managed services. Vendor patches are available across all affected minor release series (>=v7.21.5, >=v7.22.3, >=v7.23.3, >=v7.24.2), with fix commit 7f73b9c3e677 addressing CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization).

Path traversal in AzuraCast's Flow.js media upload endpoint allows authenticated users with media management permissions to write arbitrary PHP files outside designated storage directories, achieving remote code execution. The vulnerability exists in versions ≤0.23.5 where the unsanitized `currentDirectory` parameter bypasses filename sanitization, and a `finally` block writes uploaded files before MIME validation completes. Only local filesystem storage (default configuration) is affected-remote S3/cloud backends are not vulnerable. Vendor-confirmed patch available in version 0.23.6. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing identified at time of analysis, but detailed proof-of-concept exists in GitHub advisory GHSA-vp2f-cqqp-478j demonstrating webshell upload to web root.

Server-side template injection in OpenMRS Core allows authenticated users with 'Manage Concepts' privilege to execute arbitrary Java code by injecting malicious Apache Velocity templates into concept reference range criteria fields. The vulnerability stems from unsafe VelocityEngine initialization without sandbox restrictions (no SecureUberspector), enabling unrestricted Java reflection. Exploitation persists across all facility users whenever observations are validated against the compromised concept, creating a persistent remote code execution vector. Fixed in versions 2.7.9 and 2.8.6 via migration from Velocity to sandboxed Spring Expression Language (SpEL) with SimpleEvaluationContext. No active exploitation confirmed (not in CISA KEV), but proof-of-concept details available from researcher advisory at machinespirits.com.

Privilege escalation in OpenC3 COSMOS allows low-privileged authenticated users to bypass API authorization and perform administrative actions by executing crafted Python or Ruby scripts via the Script Runner widget. Attackers can directly access Redis database (exposing secrets and configuration settings) and the MinIO buckets service (containing logs, configs, and plugins) due to unrestricted container-to-container network access in the Docker deployment. Vendor-released patch available in version 7.0.0-rc3 and confirmed in 7.0.0 stable release. EPSS data not available; no CISA KEV listing indicates targeted rather than widespread exploitation. CVSS 9.6 (Critical) with scope change reflects the container escape-like privilege boundary violation.

Local .htaccess authors can escalate privileges to read arbitrary files as the httpd daemon user in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.66 and earlier. The vulnerability requires low-privilege authenticated access to create or modify .htaccess files, but exploits misconfigured module interactions to bypass intended access controls. Apache has released version 2.4.67 to address this issue. SSVC assessment indicates no active exploitation and non-automatable attack vector, with EPSS data not yet available for this recent disclosure.

Privilege escalation in GeoVision LPC2011/LPC2211 1.10 web interface allows authenticated remote attackers to execute privileged operations via crafted HTTP requests. The vulnerability enables scope change (S:C) indicating potential escape from restricted web interface contexts to underlying system privileges. CVSS 9.9 (Critical) with low attack complexity and no user interaction required, making this exploitable by any authenticated user through simple web requests. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Authenticated privilege escalation in 'Import and export users and customers' WordPress plugin versions up to 2.0.8 allows Subscriber-level users to elevate privileges to Administrator on any subsite within a WordPress Multisite network. The vulnerability stems from an incomplete blocklist in save_extra_user_profile_fields() that restricts primary site capability meta keys (wp_capabilities) but fails to block multisite-prefixed equivalents (wp_2_capabilities, wp_3_capabilities, etc.). Exploitation requires that an administrator has previously imported a CSV with multisite-prefixed capability headers and enabled the 'Show fields in profile?' option. Patch released in changeset 3515646 per WordPress plugin repository. No EPSS or KEV data available, indicating no widespread exploitation detected at time of analysis.

Missing capability check in WP Mail Gateway plugin for WordPress (versions ≤1.8) allows authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level privileges to modify SMTP settings via the wmg_save_provider_config AJAX action, enabling mail redirection. Attackers exploit this by redirecting password reset emails to attacker-controlled servers, then using intercepted credentials to escalate privileges to Administrator. CVSS 8.8 (High) reflects the severe impact despite requiring initial low-level authentication. No active exploitation confirmed via CISA KEV, but Wordfence reporting indicates discovery by security researchers and likely inclusion in their threat intelligence feeds.

Local privilege escalation in Automotive Grade Linux (AGL) app-framework-binder (afb-daemon) through v19.90.0 allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary registered APIs with nullified credentials. The supervision Do command in src/afb-supervision.c explicitly zeroes request credentials before dispatching attacker-controlled API calls, causing authorization checks to fail open when encountering NULL credential contexts. This enables low-privileged users to bypass access controls and execute privileged operations. EPSS data not available; no public exploit code or active exploitation confirmed at time of analysis.

Privilege escalation in IBM Turbonomic prometurbo agent allows compromised service accounts to exfiltrate cluster-wide Kubernetes secrets and achieve full cluster takeover. Affects versions 8.16.0 through 8.17.6 deployed in Kubernetes environments. The operator grants excessive RBAC permissions enabling unrestricted read access to all secrets cluster-wide. CVSS 8.8 indicates high severity with scope change to container/cluster level. No active exploitation confirmed (not in CISA KEV), but the attack path from service account compromise to cluster admin is well-understood in Kubernetes threat models.

Improper input validation in Progress MOVEit Automation enables authenticated low-privilege attackers to escalate privileges and cause high-impact denial of service across container boundaries. Affecting all versions prior to 2025.1.5, 2025.0.9, and 2024.1.8, this network-accessible vulnerability with low attack complexity allows attackers to disrupt availability system-wide. Progress issued a Critical Security Alert Bulletin addressing this issue alongside CVE-2026-4670 in their April 2026 advisory. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the straightforward attack path (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L) and Changed scope indicate significant real-world risk for organizations running unpatched instances.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) in n8n's MCP OAuth client registration allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in authenticated user sessions. Unauthenticated attackers can inject malicious scripts via the client_name parameter during OAuth client registration, which executes when a second user revokes the OAuth consent, triggering a vulnerable toast notification. Successful exploitation enables session token theft, workflow manipulation, and privilege escalation. CVSS 8.2 (High) reflects the changed scope and complex attack chain requiring victim interaction across multiple user sessions. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing identified at time of analysis, but exploit development is straightforward given the clear attack vector.

Local privilege escalation in EnTech Taiwan TVicPort v4.0 (driver v5.2.1.0) allows authenticated low-privileged users to gain SYSTEM privileges via crafted IOCTL 0x80002008 requests to the TVicPort64.sys kernel driver. The vulnerability stems from improper input validation (CWE-20) in IOCTL handling. Publicly available exploit code exists (GitHub gist), enabling straightforward elevation of privileges on systems with the driver installed. SSVC assessment indicates total technical impact with no active exploitation reported, though the low attack complexity and available POC present significant risk to environments using this I/O port access driver.

Privilege escalation in TUBITAK BILGEM's Pardus Software Center before 1.0.3 allows an attacker to hijack a privileged process, enabling full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability on affected Pardus Linux systems. The flaw stems from improper privilege management (CWE-269) and requires user interaction to trigger, but no prior authentication per the CVSS vector. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS exploitation probability is very low (0.04%), consistent with CISA SSVC scoring exploitation as 'none'.

Local privilege escalation in Acronis DeviceLock DLP for Windows (before build 9.0.93212) and Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud Agent for Windows (before build 42183) allows an authenticated low-privileged user to write outside allocated memory bounds and gain full SYSTEM-level control of the host. The flaw stems from improper input validation leading to memory corruption (CWE-787 out-of-bounds write). There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the EPSS score is very low (0.01%, 3rd percentile), consistent with the CISA SSVC assessment of exploitation status 'none'.

Local privilege escalation in Acronis DeviceLock DLP (Windows, builds before 9.0.93212) and Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud Agent (Windows, builds before 42183) allows a low-privileged local user to escalate to full system control through improper input validation. Classified as CWE-123 (write-what-where condition), successful exploitation yields total compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is very low (0.01%), but the SSVC technical impact is rated total.

Privilege escalation via authentication bypass in OpenClaw before 2026.4.8 allows a previously paired node to reconnect and gain an expanded, exec-capable command set without satisfying the operator.admin re-pairing scope check. Rooted in CWE-863 (incorrect authorization), the flaw lets an attacker who was once paired execute privileged commands on the local assistant host. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not in CISA KEV; EPSS is very low at 0.02% (6th percentile), consistent with a local, precondition-dependent issue rather than an internet-wide threat.

Privilege escalation in OpenClaw's trusted-proxy authentication mode allows low-privileged authenticated users to gain operator.admin privileges by declaring operator scopes on non-Control-UI clients. The incomplete scope-clearing mechanism fails to sanitize self-declared scopes when identity-bearing authentication paths process requests, enabling attackers to bypass authorization checks and achieve full administrative access. Vendor patch available via commit 8b88b927 in version 2026.3.31; no confirmed active exploitation (not in CISA KEV) but publicly disclosed with detailed GitHub security advisory increasing attack feasibility.

Privilege escalation in OpenClaw allows remote unauthenticated attackers to elevate privileges beyond intended device roles during first-use pairing. The vulnerability stems from bootstrap setup codes lacking proper binding to device roles and scopes, enabling attackers to exploit the pairing process with low complexity and no user interaction. VulnCheck reported this issue, and a vendor patch is available as of 2026.3.22. While no active exploitation has been confirmed (not in CISA KEV), the network attack vector (AV:N) and absence of authentication requirements (PR:N) create significant exposure for organizations deploying new OpenClaw instances.

Privilege escalation in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.28 enables authenticated operators with write permissions to modify administrator-only voice configuration settings through the chat.send endpoint. This vulnerability allows low-privileged operator accounts to manipulate sensitive Talk Voice configuration persistence, bypassing intended role-based access controls. A vendor-released patch is available via commit e34694733fc64931ed4a543c73d84ad3435d5df1. EPSS data unavailable; no CISA KEV listing or public exploit code identified at time of analysis, though the targeted nature (authenticated internal operators) suggests lower mass-exploitation risk than the CVSS 7.1 score might imply.

Remote code execution in OpenClaw gateway versions before 2026.3.31 allows attackers with trusted paired node credentials (role=node) to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code on the gateway by abusing unrestricted agent.request dispatch functionality. The vulnerability stems from insufficient access controls on node.event agent requests, enabling low-privilege paired nodes to invoke gateway-side tools without restriction. EPSS exploitation probability and KEV status not yet available for this recently disclosed vulnerability, but a vendor patch and exploit details are publicly documented.

Authentication bypass in NVIDIA NVFlare Dashboard allows remote unauthenticated attackers to escalate privileges through user-controlled key manipulation in the authentication system. The vulnerability affects the NVIDIA Flare SDK and enables complete system compromise including arbitrary code execution, data tampering, information disclosure, and denial of service. With a CVSS score of 9.8 (critical severity) and maximum exploitability metrics (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), this represents a severe security flaw requiring immediate remediation, though no active exploitation (KEV) or public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.

Privilege escalation in OpenClaw chat.send API allows low-privileged gateway callers with write scope to execute admin-only session management operations. Attackers can forcibly reset user sessions, rotate session IDs, and archive chat transcripts without admin authorization by exploiting broken access control in the chat messaging path. This enables session hijacking and data manipulation attacks against legitimate users. Reported by VulnCheck disclosure team with vendor security advisory published; no public exploit or active exploitation confirmed at time of analysis.

Privilege escalation in the LatePoint booking plugin for WordPress (versions ≤ 5.4.1) lets an authenticated user holding the built-in latepoint_agent role hijack any WordPress administrator account. The connect-customer-to-wp-user ability's execute() method performs no check that the target WP user ID is a privileged account, so an agent can bind a controlled LatePoint customer record to an admin's account and then trigger the standard customer password-reset flow to seize it. CVSS is 8.8; EPSS is very low (0.05%, 15th percentile) and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the technical impact is total site takeover.

Local privilege escalation in Canonical's authd (the Ubuntu authentication daemon for external identity providers) prior to 0.6.4 arises from a logic error that resets a user's primary group ID (GID) to their UID when their identity-provider record changes. Affected are users whose primary GID legitimately differs from their UID - created under authd < 0.5.4 or reassigned via 'authctl group set-gid' - causing newly created files and directories to be misowned by an unintended group. Publicly available exploit code exists, but there is no public exploit identified as actively used; SSVC records exploitation status as none and EPSS is negligible (0.01%).

Sensitive data disclosure in ProjeQtor 7.0 through 12.4.3 lets an authenticated guest-level user retrieve other users' records - including password hashes and API keys - by directly calling the objectDetail.php endpoint, which fails to enforce ownership or role checks (CWE-862). Because the exposed administrator credentials enable privilege escalation, the flaw effectively promotes a low-privilege account to full control. Publicly available exploit code exists, though EPSS is low (0.06%, 18th percentile) and it is not on CISA KEV, indicating no public exploit identified as actively used in the wild.

Local privilege escalation in Cerberus FTP Server on Windows (all builds through 2025.4.2) lets a low-privileged local user leverage insecurely preserved inherited filesystem permissions to gain higher privileges on the host. The SSVC framework records a proof-of-concept exploit (published by Reversec Labs) with total technical impact, though EPSS estimates real-world exploitation probability at just 0.01%. The issue is fixed in release 2026.1.

Local privilege escalation in KDE's plasma-login-manager arises from its plasmaloginauthhelper component executing with unnecessary elevated privileges (CWE-250), allowing an authenticated local user with a graphical session to obtain full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Disclosed via oss-security on 2026-04-27 by SUSE's Matthias Gerstner and tracked as EUVD-2026-29919, the weakness affects the privileged authentication helper backing the login manager. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is very low (0.01%), consistent with a local-only, interaction-dependent flaw rather than a mass-exploitation candidate.

Remote unauthenticated attackers can escalate privileges to administrator level in Directorist Social Login WordPress plugin versions prior to 2.1.4 through incorrect privilege assignment during social authentication flows. Exploitation requires no authentication or user interaction, enabling complete site takeover via social login mechanisms. CVSS 9.8 (Critical) reflects network-based attack vector with no complexity barriers. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing identified at time of analysis, but Patchstack reporting suggests vulnerability may be under researcher scrutiny.

Authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level privileges can escalate to Administrator role in Highland Software Custom Role Manager for WordPress via profile update exploitation. The hscrm_save_user_roles() function lacks capability checks on the personal_options_update hook, allowing low-privilege users to modify arbitrary user roles including their own. Version 1.0.1 released with authorization fixes. CVSS 8.8 reflects high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability. EPSS data not provided, no CISA KEV listing identified, indicating limited widespread exploitation despite the severity of self-service privilege escalation to site administrator.

Privilege escalation in bubblewrap 0.11.x when installed setuid root allows local attackers to escape sandbox isolation via ptrace attachment during low-privileged setup phases. The vendor confirmed active exploitation risk by releasing emergency v0.11.2 patch and immediately deprecating setuid mode entirely. CVSS 8.7 severity reflects high integrity impact from sandbox breakout, though exploitation requires local access to a setuid-configured bubblewrap binary (non-default in most distributions).

JSON response tampering in the Axios HTTP client (versions 1.0.0 up to but not including 1.15.2) lets an attacker who can already pollute Object.prototype in a Node.js or browser application escalate that primitive into surgical, invisible rewriting of every parsed JSON API response, enabling privilege escalation, balance manipulation, and authorization bypass. The default transformResponse passes a prototype-inherited parseReviver to JSON.parse, so a planted Object.prototype.parseReviver runs against every key-value pair of every response. Publicly available exploit code exists (a PoC gist), though EPSS is very low (0.03%, 8th percentile) and the issue is not in CISA KEV.

Authenticated users with low privileges can escalate to deployment admin in AWS Ops Wheel (pre-PR #165) by manipulating the custom:deployment_admin attribute through crafted UpdateUserAttributes API calls to Cognito User Pool. This privilege escalation allows full control over Cognito user account management and deployment administration. Upstream fix available via GitHub PR #165; AWS security bulletin AMZN-2026-018 confirms patch availability. No active exploitation confirmed (not in CISA KEV), but CVSS 8.7 reflects critical impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Cross-namespace privilege escalation in Kyverno 1.17.x allows authenticated namespace administrators to bypass RBAC controls and read ConfigMaps from any Kubernetes namespace. The vulnerability exploits unvalidated `configMap.namespace` field in Kyverno's ConfigMap context loader, enabling attackers to leverage Kyverno's privileged service account permissions. This is a regression following incomplete fix for CVE-2026-22039, which addressed the same issue in `apiCall` context but missed the ConfigMap loader. Patch available in version 1.17.2. CVSS 7.7 with Changed Scope indicates significant multi-tenant cluster risk; EPSS data not available but the regression nature and RBAC bypass impact warrant immediate patching in multi-tenant environments.

Privilege escalation in OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 lets authenticated operators holding operator.write credentials reach admin-class functionality — specifically Telegram configuration and cron persistence settings — through the gateway send endpoint. Because access controls fail to segregate operator-tier writes from admin-class sinks, a low-privileged operator can tamper with persistence mechanisms and administrative config. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is very low (0.02%, 6th percentile) and CISA SSVC records no known exploitation.
