A privilege escalation vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks Cortex® XDR Broker VM enables a locally authenticated user to perform actions as the root user.
Frigate is an open source network video recorder. In version 0.17.1, the GET /api/logs/{service} endpoint allows any authenticated user including the viewer role to download Frigate and nginx logs, exposing auto-generated admin passwords and camera credentials logged in request query strings and enabling viewer-to-admin privilege escalation. A fixed release has not been identified.
The Themehunk Login Registration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in versions up to, and including, 1.0.2. This is due to the handle_frontend_register() function in the unauthenticated /thlogin/v1/register REST endpoint accepting a user-controlled 'role' parameter and validating it only against get_editable_roles() — which returns every defined editable site role, including 'editor' — before passing it to wp_insert_user(). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers, when public user registration is enabled, to create new accounts with the editor role.
The 多说社会化评论框 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 1.2. The vulnerability exists due to a missing capability and nonce check on a directly web-accessible API endpoint, combined with a trivially forgeable HMAC-SHA1 signature keyed on an always-empty WordPress option, which allows the endpoint's `update_option` handler to pass attacker-controlled `option` and `value` parameters directly to WordPress's `update_option` function without any allowlist or sanitization. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update arbitrary WordPress options — such as setting `default_role` to `administrator` and enabling open registration — and subsequently register an account with full administrator privileges.
The Backstage - Customizer Demo Access plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.2. This is due to the plugin assigning the `manage_options` capability to the `backstage_customizer_user` demo role, which is more permissive than necessary for Customizer-only demo access. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to navigate beyond the Customizer and update arbitrary WordPress options such as `default_role`, leading to privilege escalation.
FluxInk (formerly Sunia SPB Peripheral) Color Management Driver (TcnPeripheral64.sys) 1.0.7.2 allows local privilege escalation for a standard user account via arbitrary physical memory mapping at \Device\PhysicalMemory. Fixed in version 1.0.7.6. The fixed driver is currently available in the Windows 11 25H2 HLK (Hardware Lab Kit). The fixed driver may be available through Windows Update or from Lenovo directly.
The Admin and Site Enhancements (ASE) WordPress plugin before 8.8.4, admin-site-enhancements-pro WordPress plugin before 8.8.4 does not perform authentication, authorization, or nonce checks on a role-restoration request handler, allowing unauthenticated attackers to restore a previously demoted administrator account back to the administrator role. This is an incomplete fix of CVE-2024-43333 / CVE-2025-24648, which closed the issue for only one of the demotion paths the WordPress role API exposes.
The AllCoach WordPress plugin before 1.0.2 does not verify that an email address submitted to a public account-registration endpoint is not already associated with an existing user before overwriting that user's password, allowing unauthenticated attackers to reset the password of arbitrary accounts, including administrators, and take over the site.
The LatePoint – Calendar Booking Plugin for Appointments and Events plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation to Administrator in versions up to, and including, 5.6.3 This is due to an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) in the create_or_update() function of OsOrdersController, which allows an authenticated Agent to supply an arbitrary order[customer_id] and overwrite any LatePoint customer's email field (including one linked to a WordPress Administrator's account) through the public-scope customer set_data() call, combined with a missing role verification in OsAuthHelper::authorize_customer() which logs in the linked WordPress user without checking its role. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with custom (Agent)-level access and above, to elevate their privileges to Administrator.
The Dokan Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via update_capabilities REST Endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.4. This is due to the `update_capabilities()` REST handler accepting arbitrary capability strings from the request body and passing them directly to WP_User::add_cap() with no allowlist validation, only verifying that the caller holds the dokandar capability. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with a self-provisioned Vendor-level access and above, on sites with the Vendor Staff module enabled, to grant arbitrary WordPress capabilities, including administrator, to any vendor_staff account, leading to a full site takeover.
The Advanced Form Integration — Connect Forms to 200+ Apps WordPress plugin before 2.1.1 does not restrict the WordPress role assigned when it creates a user from a public form submission, allowing unauthenticated visitors to create an administrator account when an active integration maps the user role to a public form field. This requires a specific, non-default multi-Advanced Form Integration — Connect Forms to 200+ Apps WordPress plugin before 2.1.1 configuration.
Inappropriate implementation in CredentialProvider in Google Chrome on Windows prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed a local attacker to perform OS-level privilege escalation via a malicious file. (Chromium security severity: Low)
Gitea act_runner with the Docker backend (through act 0.262.0) passes a workflow's container.options string to the Docker job container's HostConfig and, when configured with privileged: false, forces only the Privileged flag off while merging options such as --pid=host, --cap-add, and --security-opt unchanged. A user who can run a workflow on a Docker-backed runner can create a job container with host namespaces and broad capabilities and escape to the host as root despite privileged mode being disabled.
The Invoice Generator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation due to a missing capability check on the pravel_invoice_edit_account() AJAX action in versions up to, and including, 1.0.0. The handler is exposed via wp_ajax_nopriv_pravel_invoice_edit_account, accepts an attacker-controlled user_id and user_email from POST data, and calls wp_update_user() without verifying authentication, ownership, or a nonce. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change the email address of any user, including administrators, and then trigger WordPress's password reset flow to gain access to the targeted account.
Kernel driver ProcessMonitorDriver.sys in Safetica's endpoint client x64 , versions 10.5.75.0 and 11.11.4.0, allows unprivileged user to abuse IOCTL path and terminate protected system processes.
Daytona is a secure and elastic infrastructure runtime for AI-generated code execution and agent workflows. Prior to 0.186, a sandbox volume reference (volumeId, which may also be a volume name) was forwarded to the runner and used to build the host bind-mount source path without confinement. A reference containing path-traversal sequences could in principle resolve the mount source outside the intended per-volume base directory. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.186.
The Vitepos WordPress plugin before 3.4.2 does not properly restrict the roles that can be assigned when creating new users via one of its REST API endpoints, allowing authenticated users with a custom Vitepos WordPress plugin before 3.4.2 role to escalate privileges to administrator.
Multiple security vulnerabilities have been identified and fixed in Mozilla Thunderbird, including sandbox escapes, information disclosure, memory safety bugs, denial-of-service, privilege escalation, mitigation bypasses, and boundary condition errors. These issues affect Thunderbird ESR 140.12 and related Firefox versions. Red Hat has released security updates for Thunderbird in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.6 Extended Update Support to address these vulnerabilities.
CVE-2026-50201 is a privilege management vulnerability in Steeltoe.Management.Endpoint prior to version 4.2.0 and Steeltoe.Management.EndpointCore prior to version 3.4.0. Sensitive actuator endpoints such as heap dump, environment, and thread dump do not enforce the higher 'read_sensitive_data' permission, instead defaulting to a lower permission level. This could allow users with lower privileges to access sensitive data. The issue is patched in Steeltoe.Management.Endpoint 4.2.0 and Steeltoe.Management.EndpointCore 3.4.0. Mitigation includes upgrading to these versions or explicitly setting required permissions for sensitive endpoints or limiting actuator registration.
