Privilege Escalation

Jenkins Job Import Plugin version 143.v044a_2e819b_27 and earlier exposes credentials ID enumeration to any authenticated user holding the minimal Overall/Read permission due to a missing permission check on an HTTP endpoint. Any low-privileged Jenkins user can query this endpoint and retrieve the IDs of all credentials stored in the Jenkins credentials store, enabling reconnaissance for follow-on credential-targeting attacks. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, CISA has not listed this in KEV, and SSVC rates exploitation status as none with partial technical impact.

Missing permission check in Jenkins AppSpider Plugin 1.0.17 and earlier allows any authenticated user with Overall/Read permission to force the Jenkins server to initiate connections to arbitrary attacker-specified URLs via a form validation endpoint. This constitutes a server-side request forgery (SSRF)-class primitive - an attacker can leverage this to probe internal network services, perform port scanning, or interact with internal infrastructure reachable by the Jenkins host. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and CISA SSVC assessment confirms no active exploitation.

Local privilege escalation in Phoenix Contact PLCnext controllers (AXC F 1152/1252/2152/3152, AXC F 2000 EA, RFC 4072R/4072S, EPC 1522, BPC 9102S, VL3 UPC 2440 EDGE) and the virtual PLCnext Control 500/1000/2000/3000 product lines before firmware 2026.0.3 allows a low-privileged local user to plant or modify configuration and application files in user-writable filesystem locations that a privileged service later consumes, gaining elevated privileges. The flaw (CWE-427) is rated CVSS 4.0 8.7 (High) but carries a very low EPSS of 0.03% (9th percentile). There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.

Incorrect access control in Northern.tech Mender Enterprise Server before 4.1.1 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to gain limited confidential data exposure under high-complexity conditions. Classified under CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management) and tagged as a Privilege Escalation vector, the flaw introduces an unauthorized access path to restricted resources, though impact is constrained to low confidentiality loss with no integrity or availability consequence. No public exploit code exists and no active exploitation has been confirmed; EPSS of 0.02% (5th percentile) reflects a minimal probability of imminent widespread exploitation.

LDAP injection in Yamcs LdapAuthModule (yamcs-core < 5.12.7) enables horizontal privilege escalation for authenticated low-privilege users. By submitting a wildcard character as the username alongside a single known valid LDAP password, an attacker causes the unescaped LDAP search filter to match the first user returned by the directory query, effectively authenticating as that account. A proof-of-concept exploit is publicly available in the GitHub advisory; no CISA KEV listing exists, but the low attack complexity and published PoC make this a credible threat for any Yamcs deployment using LDAP authentication.

Local privilege escalation in Apple macOS allows a malicious app already running with low privileges to elevate to root by exploiting a logic flaw (improper privilege management) that was resolved with additional validation checks. The flaw affects macOS Sonoma before 14.8, macOS Sequoia before 15.7, and macOS Tahoe before 26, and was reported by Apple itself. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no EPSS or KEV signal was provided, indicating no confirmed active exploitation.

Privilege escalation in Joomla! CMS via the com_users batch task allows low-privileged authenticated users to bypass access controls and elevate their user group membership or permissions. Affected versions span two major release lines: 4.0.0 through 5.4.5 and 6.0.0 through 6.1.0, as confirmed by ENISA EUVD-2026-31880 and the Joomla Security Centre. No public exploit has been identified and EPSS is effectively zero; however, SSVC assesses the technical impact as total, meaning successful exploitation could yield full privilege takeover within the application.

Physical-access PIN lock bypass in AppLockZ 4.2.11 for Android exposes protected applications to unauthorized access without valid credentials. The root cause is architectural: the lock mechanism is implemented as a UI overlay rather than through Android's secure authentication APIs, leaving it vulnerable to circumvention via exposed activity routes reachable through advertisement or browser intents. An attacker with physical possession of the device can navigate cascading interface flows to evade lockscreen verification and access apps protected by AppLockZ (e.g., Chrome), resulting in information disclosure. No active exploitation is confirmed in CISA KEV, and the EPSS score of 0.04% reflects minimal real-world exploitation probability at this time.

PIN lock bypass in SailingLab AppLock 4.3.8 for Android exposes protected applications to anyone with brief physical device access. The root cause is architectural: the lock is implemented as a screen overlay rather than through Android's secure authentication APIs, meaning the underlying apps remain accessible via exposed intent routes triggered through advertisement or browser interactions. An attacker with physical access can navigate cascading UI flows to dismiss or circumvent the overlay entirely, gaining access to locked apps such as Chrome, resulting in information disclosure and unintended privilege escalation. No public exploit is confirmed in CISA KEV, but a researcher disclosure is publicly available on GitHub, and EPSS is negligible at 0.04% (11th percentile), consistent with the physical-access-only attack vector.

PIN lock bypass in Easyelife App Lock 1.9.2 for Android allows a local attacker with physical device access to reach applications that were supposedly secured behind a PIN. The root cause is architectural: the lock is implemented as a UI overlay rather than through Android's native secure authentication APIs (BiometricPrompt, KeyguardManager), meaning it can be circumvented by triggering advertisement or browser intents that cause the app to navigate cascading activity flows, effectively routing around the overlay. EPSS is very low at 0.05% (16th percentile), no public exploit is confirmed in CISA KEV, and a researcher disclosure with likely proof-of-concept steps is publicly available on GitHub.

Arbitrary JavaScript execution in SailingLab AppLock 4.3.8 for Android is triggered by a malicious co-installed app sending a crafted VIEW intent with a javascript: URI to the exposed BrowserMainActivity component. Because AppLock operates with elevated permissions by design (it restricts access to other apps), this unsafe WebView navigation path creates a changed-scope impact: script execution occurs within AppLock's privilege context, enabling UI spoofing and potential privilege escalation beyond what a normal app could achieve. No public exploit identified at time of analysis beyond the publicly available proof-of-concept published by the reporter on GitHub.

Remote image blocking bypass in Roundcube Webmail allows unauthenticated network attackers to embed HTML email image tags pointing to local or private network destinations, causing the server to fetch those resources despite the 'block remote images' policy being active. Affected versions are 1.6.14 through 1.6.15 and 1.7.0, with vendor-released patches 1.6.16 and 1.7.1 available since May 2026 per the official advisory. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and EPSS is very low at 0.03%, though SSVC rates technical impact as total - a notable discrepancy that warrants attention for deployments where the mail server has internal network access.

Splinterware System Scheduler Pro 5.12 contains an insecure file permissions vulnerability that allows low-privilege users to escalate privileges by modifying service executable files. Rated high severity (CVSS 8.6), this vulnerability is no authentication required, low attack complexity. Public exploit code available and no vendor patch available.

Acer Care Center's ACCSvc service exposes a Named Pipe with an insufficiently restrictive Security Descriptor, enabling any authenticated local user to crash the service by sending a crafted IPC message of type 0x03, resulting in process termination with ERROR_PROCESS_ABORTED (exit code 1067). Versions 4.0 up to and including 4.00.3058 are confirmed affected. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis; EPSS probability stands at 0.01% (2nd percentile), SSVC classifies exploitation as none, and there is no CISA KEV listing - placing this firmly in the low operational priority tier despite the Medium CVSS score.

Stored XSS in Concrete CMS 9.0 through 9.5.0 enables a rogue editor to inject persistent JavaScript via the page name field within the Atomik theme, executing in the browser session of any authenticated user who visits the affected pages. Consequences include session hijacking, credential theft, and unauthorized actions performed as the victim - potentially escalating to higher privileges if an administrator is targeted. No active exploitation is confirmed (SSVC: none; EPSS 0.04% at the 13th percentile), and a vendor-released patch is available in version 9.5.1.

Information exposure in Dell PowerFlex Manager (Appliance, Rack, and standalone) versions <=4.6.2 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read directory listings served by the management interface, exposing file and path names that can reveal sensitive configuration and system details. The flaw is remotely reachable without credentials or user interaction (CVSS 7.5), but there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS estimates exploitation probability at just 0.02%. CISA's SSVC framework rates exploitation as 'none' and technical impact as 'partial,' indicating a genuine but non-critical disclosure issue rather than a code-execution threat.

Local privilege escalation in the Trend Micro Apex One (Mac) agent lets a low-privileged user abuse a flaw in the agent's self-protection mechanism to gain elevated (root-level) control on affected macOS installations. The root cause is an origin validation error (CWE-346) in the component meant to prevent tampering with the security agent itself. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is negligible (0.01%) and CISA SSVC records no known exploitation, but a Zero Day Initiative advisory (ZDI-26-143) confirms independent researcher validation of the issue.

Local privilege escalation in the Trend Micro Apex One (mac) endpoint agent lets a low-privileged user who already has code execution on a macOS host abuse a race condition in the agent's cache mechanism to gain full (root-level) control. The flaw was reported by Trend Micro/ZDI (ZDI-26-142) and carries a CVSS of 7.8; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS is negligible (0.01%), and CISA SSVC records exploitation status as none.

Local privilege escalation in the Trend Micro Apex One (mac) agent stems from a race condition in the iCore service's signature verification routine, letting a low-privileged local attacker on affected macOS installations swap a verified file after the check but before use to run code with elevated (root-level) privileges. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and SSVC/EPSS signals both indicate exploitation has not been observed; Trend Micro credited its own team with the report and states the issue was already remediated through ActiveUpdate/SaaS releases in mid-to-late 2025.

Local privilege escalation in the Trend Micro Apex One (mac) agent lets an attacker who already runs low-privileged code abuse an origin validation weakness (CWE-346) in the iCore service to gain full control of the endpoint. The flaw yields total confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact (CVSS 7.8) but requires an existing foothold, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. It was discovered through the Zero Day Initiative (ZDI-26-139) and reported by the vendor; EPSS is negligible at 0.01% and CISA SSVC records no observed exploitation.

Local privilege escalation in Trend Micro Apex One and Apex One as a Service stems from an origin validation error (CWE-346) that lets an authenticated low-privileged attacker elevate to higher privileges on the host. Trend Micro has released fixed builds and ZDI has published an advisory (ZDI-26-140); no public exploit identified at time of analysis, though vendor-reported vulnerabilities in endpoint security agents are frequent targets for post-compromise attackers.

Local privilege escalation in the Trend Micro Apex One scan engine allows low-privileged users on Windows endpoints to gain elevated privileges by abusing a link-following weakness (CWE-59) in the scanner's file-handling logic. The flaw affects on-premise Apex One 2019 builds prior to 14.0.0.14136 and the SaaS edition prior to 14.0.20315, with a patch available from Trend Micro; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not currently listed in CISA KEV.

cap_net privilege escalation in FreeBSD allows Capsicum-sandboxed applications to silently expand their own network operation permissions beyond what was explicitly granted. When a sandboxed process submits a new cap_net limit that omits a key present in the previously active limit, the service incorrectly treats the omission as an unrestricted allow-any grant rather than rejecting the request. Affected releases are FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE before patch 9, 14.3-RELEASE before patch 14, and 14.4-RELEASE before patch 5; no public exploit is identified and EPSS sits at 0.01% (3rd percentile), though SSVC flags the attack as automatable once the preconditions are met.

Stored XSS in CtrlPanel's admin role management interface (versions 1.1.1 and prior) allows a privileged admin to inject persistent malicious HTML into role name or color fields, which executes in the browser of every admin who subsequently loads the /admin/roles page. The attack enables session hijacking, credential harvesting via fake login prompts or keyloggers, and lateral privilege escalation by performing admin actions on behalf of victim admins - with the payload re-executing on every page load until the offending role record is manually deleted. No active exploitation is confirmed (not in CISA KEV), but a proof-of-concept payload is documented in the vendor advisory. Fixed in version 1.2.0.

Missing Redis cache invalidation in Budibase's public API role unassignment endpoint allows users with revoked admin, builder, or app-level privileges to retain full access for up to 1 hour (the hardcoded Redis TTL of 3600 seconds). Affected deployments are Budibase versions prior to 3.38.2 running an enterprise license, where the `POST /api/public/v1/roles/unassign` endpoint writes revocations to CouchDB but never calls `cache.user.invalidateUser()`, leaving the authentication middleware to serve stale permissions from Redis. Publicly available exploit code exists within the GHSA-6vp2-6r7m-2jvx advisory; no confirmed active exploitation (not listed in CISA KEV at time of analysis).

Symbolic link exploitation in Portrait Dell Color Management (before 3.7.0) on Windows allows a local low-privileged user to escalate privileges to Administrator by redirecting an elevated installer file write to an arbitrary system path. During installation, the software writes CCFLFamily_07Feb11.edr to C:\ProgramData\Portrait Displays\CW\data\i1D3\ with Administrator-level privileges while failing to validate symlinks or reparse points at the destination - an attacker who pre-stages a malicious junction or symlink at that path gains arbitrary file creation or overwrite capability under the elevated context. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis; SSVC signals confirm no known active exploitation.

Kite 4.2.0.1 U1 contains an unquoted service path vulnerability in the KiteService Windows service that allows local attackers to escalate privileges by exploiting the service binary path. Rated high severity (CVSS 8.5), this vulnerability is low attack complexity. Public exploit code available and no vendor patch available.

Rated high severity (CVSS 8.5), this vulnerability is low attack complexity. Public exploit code available and no vendor patch available.

HarmonyOS app management and control module permits local privilege escalation through improper permission controls, allowing unauthenticated local attackers with user interaction to access confidential service data. CVSS 3.6 (low severity) reflects local-only attack vector and requirement for user interaction, though the privilege escalation nature means affected systems warrant review for deployment context.

Local privilege escalation affects AMD Zen 2-based processors (Ryzen 3000/4000/5000 series, Threadripper PRO 3000 WX, EPYC 7002, and various embedded parts) where improper isolation of shared resources in the CPU operation cache lets a low-privileged attacker corrupt instructions executed at a higher privilege level. Reported by AMD and tracked as AMD-SB-7052 (with parallel Xen XSA-490 and Linux/OS-vendor advisories), it carries a CVSS 4.0 base score of 7.3 but requires local access and high attack complexity. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the EPSS probability is negligible at 0.01% (2nd percentile).

A DLL hijacking vulnerability in the AMD Cleanup Utility could allow an attacker to achieve privilege escalation potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution. Rated high severity (CVSS 7.0), this vulnerability is low attack complexity. No vendor patch available.

DDR5 memory modules in multiple AMD Ryzen processor families contain an insecure default PMIC (Power Management Integrated Circuit) interface configuration that allows local users with standard privileges to cause permanent denial of service or corrupt memory module integrity via unprotected firmware access. The vulnerability affects Ryzen 4000, 7000, 7020, 7030, 7035, 7040, 7045 series processors and Threadripper Pro 3000 WX-series, requiring local system access but no special privileges or user interaction. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been confirmed at time of analysis.

Improper Input Validation in the AMD RAID driver could allow an attacker to point to an arbitrary memory location potentially resulting in privilege escalation and arbitrary code execution. Rated high severity (CVSS 8.6), this vulnerability is low attack complexity. No vendor patch available.

Local privilege escalation in AMD Platform Management Framework (PMF) allows authenticated attackers with low privileges to unmap arbitrary memory pages, potentially executing code with elevated privileges or triggering system crashes. Affects modern AMD Ryzen mobile processors across multiple generations (6000/7000/8000/AI 300 series, embedded variants). The vulnerability enables both horizontal escalation (confidentiality compromise via changed scope in CVSS 4.0) and vertical impact (integrity/availability degradation). No evidence of active exploitation (not in CISA KEV), but the local attack vector with low complexity makes this exploitable by malware or malicious insiders once system access is obtained. EPSS data not available for risk calibration.

Out-of-bounds write in the AMD Platform Management Framework (PMF) Driver enables local authenticated users to escalate privileges on AMD Ryzen 6000/7000/8000 series processors. The vulnerability stems from improper input validation (CWE-787) allowing memory corruption beyond allocated buffer boundaries. Exploitation requires low-privilege local access with low attack complexity (CVSS 4.0: AV:L/AC:L/PR:L), making this a realistic post-compromise escalation vector. AMD released chipset driver version 7.06.02.123 addressing all affected Ryzen series. No public exploit or active exploitation confirmed at time of analysis.

Out-of-bounds read/write in AMD Platform Management Framework (PMF) driver allows local authenticated users to escalate privileges on Ryzen 6000/7000/8000 series processors. AMD has released patched chipset software version 7.06.02.123 addressing the improper input validation vulnerability. No public exploit code identified and CISA has not added this to KEV, indicating exploitation is not yet confirmed in real-world attacks despite the high CVSS score. Attackers must already have local system access with standard user privileges to exploit this vulnerability.

Privilege escalation in AMD GPIO controller driver for Windows allows authenticated local users with low privileges to execute arbitrary code with elevated rights via insecure directory permissions. Affects nearly the entire AMD processor portfolio from Ryzen 3000-series through latest EPYC 9005 and Ryzen AI 300. AMD has released patched chipset drivers (version 7.04.09.545 for most desktop/mobile products, 8.03.16.641 for server platforms) addressing the vulnerability. EPSS score and KEV status not provided in source data, but the local attack vector and user interaction requirement limit remote exploitation risk despite the 7.0 CVSS score.

Open WebUI versions up to 0.9.2 allow users with read-only access to shared notes to toggle the pin status via the POST /api/v1/notes/{id}/pin endpoint, which incorrectly checks for read permission instead of write permission. This privilege escalation enables read-only users to perform a write operation (toggling is_pinned state) that should be restricted to users with explicit write access. The vulnerability is limited to the pin operation and does not permit modification of note content, title, or access grants. Publicly available proof-of-concept demonstrates the bypass across all shared notes with read access.

CSS injection in SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP allows unauthenticated remote attackers to inject malicious Cascading Style Sheets into web pages served by the application, with exploitation requiring user interaction (clicking or accessing the affected page). The injected CSS executes in the victim's browser context, resulting in low-impact confidentiality loss; integrity and availability are not affected. CVSS 3.1 reflects the limited impact and high attack complexity required.

Command injection in @apostrophecms/cli apos create command allows arbitrary command execution when a user supplies specially crafted input during the interactive password prompt. The vulnerability exists in lib/commands/create.js line 186, where user-supplied password input is passed directly into a shell exec() call without sanitization or escaping, enabling attackers to inject shell metacharacters (;, &&, $()) to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the user running the CLI. Exploitation requires user interaction (UI:R) and high privilege context (PR:H), but publicly available proof-of-concept demonstrates successful arbitrary code execution on Ubuntu systems with Node.js.

Improper privilege management in AMD's KVM key download component allows authenticated local attackers to swap tokens and exfiltrate sensitive cryptographic keys due to insufficient access controls, potentially enabling unauthorized access to privileged resources and compromising system confidentiality. The vulnerability requires authenticated access (PR:L) but carries high confidentiality impact (VC:H), making it a significant risk in multi-tenant or shared-access environments.

Fleet trusts untrusted client-supplied IP address headers (X-Forwarded-For, X-Real-IP, True-Client-IP) when determining source IP for incoming requests, allowing both authenticated and unauthenticated attackers to spoof their apparent IP address and bypass per-IP rate limiting controls. This enables brute-force and password-spraying attacks against authentication endpoints to scale without triggering rate-limit protections, though the vulnerability does not itself enable authentication bypass, privilege escalation, data exposure, or remote code execution.

Privilege escalation in Essential Addons for Elementor (all versions ≤ 6.5.13) allows authenticated WordPress users with Author-level access or above to create new accounts with elevated roles such as Editor by exploiting the plugin's `register_user` function, which applies an incomplete role denylist that blocks only 'administrator' while leaving other privileged roles unguarded. The network-accessible, low-complexity attack vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L) makes this realistic for any site with the plugin's registration widget exposed and populated with low-trust authors. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and CISA KEV status is absent, but the plugin's broad WordPress deployment increases aggregate exposure.

Local privilege escalation vulnerabilities in Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect App on Windows, macOS, and Linux allow a low-privileged local user to elevate to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM (Windows) or root (macOS/Linux), enabling full OS-level command execution. The root cause is CWE-426 (Untrusted Search Path), where the application resolves executables or libraries from attacker-controllable locations. No public exploit has been identified and CISA SSVC confirms exploitation status as none; however, SSVC rates technical impact as total, reflecting the complete privilege gain achievable upon successful exploitation.

Hiseeu C90 v5.7.15 exposes a UART bootloader in debug mode when the device battery is disconnected, allowing unauthenticated physical attackers with direct hardware access to achieve privilege escalation and potentially execute arbitrary code with full device control. This vulnerability requires physical tampering to trigger but bypasses all software-based security controls once activated.

Rated high severity (CVSS 8.5), this vulnerability is low attack complexity. Public exploit code available and no vendor patch available.

Privilege escalation in the mk_mysql agent plugin on Windows in Checkmk <2.4.0p29, <2.3.0p47, and 2.2.0 (EOL) allows a local unprivileged user able to create a Windows service whose name matches. Rated medium severity (CVSS 5.2), this vulnerability is low attack complexity.

FactoryCamera on Samsung Mobile Devices prior to SMR May-2026 Release 1 exposes a unique device identifier to local low-privileged attackers due to incorrect default file or resource permissions (CWE-276). Affected platforms span Android 14, 15, and 16. The vulnerability carries a CVSS 4.0 score of 6.8 with high confidentiality impact on the vulnerable system, though real-world risk is substantially tempered by the requirement for local device access, an EPSS of 0.01% (1st percentile), and SSVC classification of exploitation: none. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.

Privilege escalation in the ionic network driver on VMware ESXi 8.x and 9.x hosts equipped with AMD-Pensando DPU hardware allows a low-privileged local attacker to corrupt heap memory and potentially execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges. Reported by AMD (AMD-SB-2001) and tracked as EUVD-2025-209814, the flaw carries a CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.8 with total technical impact but high attack complexity. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and CISA SSVC rates exploitation as none with EPSS at just 0.01%, indicating no observed exploitation activity.

Local privilege escalation in the ionic cloud driver used by VMware ESXi 8.x and 9.x hosts running AMD-Pensando DPU products allows a low-privileged local attacker to corrupt heap memory and potentially execute arbitrary code with elevated (host-level) privileges. The flaw was reported by AMD (AMD-SB-2001) and carries a CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.8 with a 'total' technical impact under SSVC. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is negligible (0.01%, 3rd percentile), consistent with SSVC exploitation status of 'none'.

Privilege escalation in Intel AI Playground software before version 3.0.0 alpha via an uncontrolled search path element (CWE-427) allows a local low-privileged attacker to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges. Exploitation requires an authenticated user, active user interaction, high attack complexity, and specific attack conditions (AT:P), making this a constrained but high-impact local privilege escalation. No public exploit code has been identified and CISA SSVC rates current exploitation as none, consistent with the extremely low EPSS score of 0.01% (3rd percentile).

Escalation of privilege in Intel Endpoint Management Assistant (EMA) software before version 1.14.5 allows an unauthenticated adversary on an adjacent network to gain elevated privileges on the vulnerable host, fully compromising its confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The flaw stems from improper input validation in a Ring 3 user-application component and carries a CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.7 (High). There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, exploitation is not observed per CISA SSVC (Exploitation: none), and EPSS is very low at 0.03%.

Privilege escalation in Intel Server Firmware Update Utility Software before version 16.0.12 exposes authenticated local users to an uncontrolled search path (DLL/library hijacking) condition within the Ring 3 user-application layer. A low-privileged local attacker who can plant a malicious library or executable in a directory the utility searches at launch can escalate privileges with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis, and EPSS sits at the 3rd percentile, consistent with SSVC exploitation status of 'none'.

Privilege escalation in Intel Connectivity Performance Suite software installers before version 50.25.1121.193 allows a local, low-privileged authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges through an uncontrolled search path (CWE-427) triggered during installer execution in Ring 3 user space. Exploitation is constrained by high attack complexity, a mandatory specific attack configuration (AT:P), and a requirement for active user interaction, making this a targeted rather than opportunistic risk. No active exploitation has been confirmed - EPSS sits at 0.01% (3rd percentile), SSVC lists exploitation as none, and no CISA KEV listing exists.

Privilege escalation in Intel NPU Driver software installers before version 32.0.100.4511 stems from incorrect default permissions applied to Ring 3 (user-space) components during installation, classified under CWE-276. A local authenticated low-privileged user on an affected system can exploit these misconfigured permissions under high-complexity conditions - requiring specific attack prerequisites and active user interaction - to achieve full confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise of the vulnerable system. No active exploitation is confirmed (not in CISA KEV), EPSS is at the 1st percentile (0.01%), and SSVC designates exploitation status as none, indicating this is a theoretical but not currently weaponized risk.

Local privilege escalation in Dell PowerScale InsightIQ versions 5.0.0 through 6.2.0 allows high-privileged attackers to execute code with unnecessary elevated privileges, potentially escalating to full system compromise. The vulnerability requires existing local access and high privilege level on the affected system; no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.

Improper input validation in an Axis OS configuration file allows authenticated SSH users to execute code and potentially escalate privileges. The vulnerability requires valid SSH credentials but affects all Axis OS versions, making it a significant risk for organizations running Axis network devices with SSH access exposed or shared credentials.

Privilege escalation in Axis OS via path traversal in ACAP configuration files allows high-privileged local attackers to achieve code execution with elevated permissions. The vulnerability requires the device to be configured for unsigned ACAP application installation and the attacker to socially engineer a user into installing a malicious ACAP application. CVSS 6.7 reflects high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, but exploitation is constrained by high-privilege requirement and user interaction. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.

Command injection in Axis OS ACAP configuration file processing allows privilege escalation when unsigned ACAP applications are enabled and a user installs a malicious application. The vulnerability requires high-privileged user interaction and local access but bypasses normal code signing protections to achieve code execution with elevated privileges.

Axis OS allows privilege escalation via improper input validation during ACAP application installation when unsigned applications are permitted, enabling authenticated attackers with high privileges to gain elevated system access. The vulnerability requires explicit administrative configuration allowing unsigned ACAP installations and victim interaction to install a malicious application. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been confirmed at time of analysis.

Privilege escalation in MantisBT allows authenticated project managers to grant project-level administrator access to any user - including themselves - by submitting a forged access_level value to the ProjectUsersAddCommand handler via manage_proj_user_add.php or the REST API endpoint PUT /project/{id}/users. The frontend form correctly restricts selectable access levels to the actor's own role or below, but the backend command (versions <= 2.28.1) performs no equivalent server-side enforcement, accepting and persisting the elevated value. A proof-of-concept exists per SSVC data; however, real-world impact is bounded to project-scoped privilege elevation and does not confer instance-wide administrative capabilities such as managing users, plugins, or custom fields globally.

WSO2 Identity Server in multi-organization deployments fails to validate organization context during adaptive authentication flow execution, allowing privileged users in one organization to trigger authentication logic on other organizations. An attacker with adaptive authentication configuration privileges can exploit this context validation gap to bypass authorization boundaries, escalate privileges, and gain unauthorized access to user accounts and resources across organizational boundaries.

Improper privilege management in Dell ECS 3.8.1.0-3.8.1.7 and ObjectScale prior to 4.3.0.0 allows high-privileged local attackers to escalate privileges and gain full system access, affecting confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at the time of analysis.

Argus Surveillance DVR 4.0 contains an unquoted service path vulnerability in the DVRWatchdog service that allows local attackers to escalate privileges by exploiting the service binary path. Rated high severity (CVSS 8.5), this vulnerability is low attack complexity. Public exploit code available and no vendor patch available.

WordPress TheCartPress 1.5.3.6 contains an unauthenticated privilege escalation vulnerability that allows attackers to create administrator accounts by submitting crafted requests to the AJAX. Rated critical severity (CVSS 9.3), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity. Public exploit code available and no vendor patch available.

Path traversal in SharpCompress `WriteToDirectory()` allows malicious ZIP and TAR archives to create directories outside the intended extraction root via relative (`../../`) and absolute path (`/tmp/`) overrides in the directory-entry fast-path. TAR archives can be further escalated to arbitrary file writes when callers implement `SymbolicLinkHandler` without validating symlink targets, enabling an attacker to write files anywhere on the filesystem subject to process permissions. CVSS 5.9 reflects moderate severity; real-world impact depends on whether the application extracts untrusted archives and implements symlink handling.

Privilege escalation in SysReptor prior to version 2026.29 allows authenticated User Admins to hijack Superuser accounts by exploiting an overly permissive email-change capability combined with the optional Forgot Password reset flow. When the 'Forgot Password' feature is enabled (non-default) and the targeted Superuser has no MFA configured, a User Admin can redirect the password reset token to an attacker-controlled address and authenticate as Superuser, gaining access to the Django backend (/admin) and full installation settings control. No public exploit exists and EPSS stands at 0.02% (5th percentile), consistent with SSVC's 'none' exploitation status, but the impact when conditions are met is significant for the affected SysReptor installation.

Privilege escalation in Suite Numérique People prior to version 1.25.0 allows authenticated domain administrators to remotely promote any existing user to Owner role via a crafted invitation request, without requiring acceptance from the target user. The vulnerability requires valid Administrator credentials on a mail domain but grants immediate full domain ownership, creating a severe lateral privilege escalation risk within multi-tenant deployments.

Symlink following in cPanel's Nova plugin (Cpanel::Nova::Connector) allows any authenticated cPanel user to redirect a root-executed chmod to arbitrary filesystem paths by placing a symlink at a user-controlled legacy Nova path within their home directory. Affected are more than a dozen cPanel release trains spanning versions 11.86 through 11.136, plus WP Squared 11.136.x. No public exploit exists and EPSS stands at 0.04%, but CISA's SSVC framework rates the technical impact as total given the potential to set root-level permissions on critical system files, enabling local privilege escalation or denial of service in multi-tenant hosting environments.

Stored XSS in FacturaScripts product search modal allows authenticated warehouse users to inject malicious JavaScript via product reference field, which executes in the browser of any user opening the search modal in sales or purchase documents. An attacker with warehouse write access can escalate privileges by executing arbitrary authenticated requests in an administrator's session, including creation of new admin accounts, without requiring the admin's password. The vulnerability exploits improper output encoding combined with HTML parser re-interpretation during innerHTML assignment.

DLL hijacking in ZTE Cloud PC client uSmartView allows unauthenticated local attackers to achieve arbitrary code execution and privilege escalation by planting a malicious DLL that is loaded by uSmartViewServiceAgent.exe running with SYSTEM privileges. The vulnerability requires local access but no authentication and affects multiple ZXCloud IRAI product versions. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been confirmed at this time.

ZTE Cloud PC client uSmartview contains an OpenSSL configuration file privilege escalation vulnerability (CVE-2026-40004) that allows authenticated local attackers with user-level privileges to execute arbitrary code and escalate to higher privilege levels through a malicious openssl.cnf file. This requires physical access or local system access combined with user interaction, and affects ZTE's virtualized desktop infrastructure product. The CVSS score of 5.5 reflects the physical attack vector and additional user interaction requirement, despite the severity of code execution and cross-system scope impact.

HCL BigFix Service Management (SX) is affected by a Broken Access Control vulnerability leading to privilege escalation. Rated high severity (CVSS 8.3), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, low attack complexity. No vendor patch available.

Same-origin policy bypass in Google Chrome's Canvas implementation allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to cross origin boundaries by inducing a victim to visit a crafted HTML page. All Chrome versions prior to 148.0.7778.96 are affected. No public exploit exists and CISA KEV confirms no active exploitation, but the SOP bypass primitive could enable partial data exfiltration from other browser origins, making it a meaningful integrity and confidentiality concern for users of unpatched versions.

Site isolation bypass in Google Chrome prior to 148.0.7778.96 allows a remote attacker to read cross-origin response data that Chrome's Opaque Response Blocking (ORB) mechanism should render inaccessible, by luring a user to a crafted HTML page. The flaw stems from an inappropriate implementation in the ORB subsystem (CWE-269), undermining one of Chrome's core cross-origin data leak defenses. No active exploitation is confirmed (SSVC: none; EPSS: 0.03%), and a vendor patch is available in the stable channel release 148.0.7778.96.

Local privilege escalation in ZTE PROCESS Guard Service allows authenticated local users to escalate privileges and achieve arbitrary code execution through improper access control enforcement, affecting the cloud computer client. The vulnerability requires local access and authenticated user context but operates across system boundaries, potentially compromising system integrity. No active exploitation has been confirmed at time of analysis, though the combination of privilege escalation and RCE capability makes this a moderate-priority local threat.

The ciguard static analysis container image (versions 0.1.0-0.8.1) runs as root due to a missing USER directive in the Dockerfile, creating a privilege-escalation amplification risk for future container-runtime escape vulnerabilities. This is a defence-in-depth gap rather than a directly exploitable vulnerability; it reduces the impact of hypothetical escapes (such as runc CVE-2024-21626) from host-root compromise to non-root user compromise. Vendor-released patch in v0.8.2 adds a dedicated non-root ciguard user and USER directive, verified by container inspection and automated regression testing in v0.8.3.

Kubewarden versions before 1.35.0 permit RBAC reconnaissance attacks when users with AdmissionPolicy or AdmissionPolicyGroup creation privileges craft policies using the unchecked `can_i` host capability. The vulnerability allows enumeration of any user or service account permissions across the cluster via SubjectAccessReview requests executed with policy-server privileges, despite the absence of context-aware resource grants. This information disclosure enables attackers to discover sensitive permission configurations without requiring cluster-wide policy creation rights, a capability not available by default but exploitable when granted.

Stored cross-site scripting in Grav CMS Form plugin allows editor-level users to inject arbitrary JavaScript via taxonomy tag and category values that execute in administrator browsers when viewing any page in the admin panel. The vulnerability exploits unescaped Twig `|raw` filters in the select field template combined with a bypassable XSS detection regex, enabling privilege escalation through nonce theft and unauthorized admin actions. Vendor-released patch available in grav-plugin-form 9.0.1 and Grav core 2.0.0-beta.2.

Cross-organization dashboard configuration disclosure in runZero Platform allows authenticated users to view sensitive dashboard configurations outside their authorized organization scope via network requests. The vulnerability stems from improper privilege management (CWE-269) and affects versions prior to v4.0.260416.0, enabling authenticated attackers with low privileges to escalate access and view confidential configuration data across organizational boundaries.

Privilege escalation in Mentoring theme for WordPress (all versions ≤1.2.8) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to create administrator accounts via broken registration role validation in mentoring_process_registration(). The flaw bypasses normal WordPress role restrictions, enabling complete site takeover without requiring any authentication or user interaction. CVSS 9.8 (critical) with network attack vector and no complexity barriers. EPSS and KEV data not provided, but the combination of unauthenticated admin account creation represents an imminent site compromise risk for all installations with registration enabled.

Non-admin users holding the SETTINGS permission in pyload-ng can disable TLS peer and hostname verification by setting general.ssl_verify=off via the set_config_value() API, enabling man-in-the-middle attacks on all outbound HTTPS requests including downloads, captcha fetches, and plugin calls. This is an incomplete fix for a series of prior allowlist bypasses (CVE-2026-33509, CVE-2026-35463, CVE-2026-35464, CVE-2026-35586) in which security-sensitive configuration options were omitted from the ADMIN_ONLY_CORE_OPTIONS allowlist.

Norton Secure VPN installed via Microsoft Store allows low-privilege Windows users to escalate to SYSTEM-level privileges by replacing files during the installation process, causing arbitrary file deletion. Cisco Talos discovered this TOCTOU (Time-of-Check Time-of-Use) race condition in the installer. No public exploit code or active exploitation confirmed at time of analysis, but the local attack vector with low complexity (CVSS AC:L) makes this highly exploitable once installation details are known.

Out-of-bounds write in MediaTek's slbc (secure local buffer component) due to type confusion allows local privilege escalation to full system compromise when an attacker already holds System privilege. The vulnerability requires no user interaction and affects 32 MediaTek chipset models. CISA SSVC framework rates technical impact as total; however, EPSS score of 0.02% suggests limited real-world exploitation despite the high CVSS score of 6.7, likely due to the requirement for pre-existing System privilege.

Local privilege escalation in MediaTek chipsets (MT6765, MT8893, MT8791T, and 19 others) due to missing permission checks in geniezone allows attackers with System privilege to escalate their access without user interaction. CVSS 6.7 reflects high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, but EPSS score of 0.02% (4th percentile) and SSVC 'none' exploitation status indicate this vulnerability has not been observed in active, widespread exploitation despite the low barrier to exploitation from privileged context.

Local privilege escalation in MediaTek geniezone component due to missing bounds check allows System-privileged actors to achieve total system compromise across multiple chipset models. The vulnerability requires prior System-level access and affects 17 MediaTek chipset variants (MT6899, MT8791T, MT8786, MT6789, MT8367, MT6768, MT8766, MT6993, MT6991, MT6877, MT8788E, MT8781, MT8768, MT6989, MT8910, MT8196, MT8793). No public exploit code identified at time of analysis; exploitation remains unconfirmed in active systems despite SSVC indicating total technical impact potential.

Privilege escalation in GeoVision LPC2011/LPC2211 Web Interface allows authenticated attackers to leak stored credentials via specially crafted HTTP requests to the ssi.cgi endpoint. The vulnerability affects firmware version 1.10 and requires low-privilege user access but no additional user interaction, enabling unauthenticated credential disclosure on affected devices.

Kernel memory access and privilege escalation in PassMark DirectIo64.sys driver affect BurnInTest 11.0 Build 1011, OSForensics 11.1 Build 1007, and PerformanceTest 11.1 Build 1004. Local authenticated attackers can send crafted IOCTL 0x8011E044 calls to the vulnerable driver to read arbitrary kernel memory and elevate privileges to SYSTEM level. Public exploit code is available in the researcher's GitHub repository. EPSS data not available; no CISA KEV listing indicates no confirmed widespread exploitation, though POC availability lowers the barrier for local attacks.
