The Import and export users and customers plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to and including 2.0.8 via the `save_extra_user_profile_fields()` function. This is due to an incomplete blocklist that correctly restricts capability meta keys for the primary site (e.g., `wp_capabilities`, `wp_user_level`) but fails to block the equivalent meta keys for any other subsite in a WordPress Multisite network (e.g., `wp_2_capabilities`, `wp_2_user_level`), allowing these keys to pass the `in_array()` check and be written directly to user meta via `update_user_meta()`. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to escalate their privileges to Administrator on any subsite within the Multisite network by submitting a crafted profile update to `/wp-admin/profile.php`. Exploitation requires that an administrator has previously imported a CSV file containing multisite-prefixed capability column headers and has enabled the 'Show fields in profile?' option, which causes those keys to be stored in the `acui_columns` option and exposed as editable fields on the user profile page.
An issue in the component DirectIo64.sys of PassMark BurnInTest v11.0 Build 1011, OSForensics v11.1 Build 1007, and PerformanceTest v11.1 Build 1004 allows attackers to access kernel memory and escalate privileges via a crafted IOCTL 0x8011E044 call.

The agent grants excessive cluster-wide permissions, including unrestricted read access to all secrets. An attacker who compromises the operator or its service account could exfiltrate sensitive credentials, escalate privileges, and potentially achieve full cluster compromise. The vulnerability is related to improper privilege management (CWE-269). No official patch or remediation guidance has been provided yet.
Improper Privilege Management, Improper Access Control, Incorrect privilege assignment vulnerability in TUBITAK BILGEM Software Technologies Research Institute Pardus Software Center allows Hijacking a privileged process.
This issue affects Pardus Software Center: from 1.0.2 before 1.0.3.
CVE-2026-6741 is a high-severity privilege escalation vulnerability in the LatePoint – Calendar Booking Plugin for WordPress versions up to 5.4.1. The flaw arises from a missing authorization check in the execute() method for the connect-customer-to-wp-user ability. Authenticated users with the latepoint_agent role can exploit this to link any LatePoint customer record to an administrator's WordPress account. This linkage enables them to reset the administrator's password via the customer password-reset flow, potentially leading to full site takeover.
The Highland Software Custom Role Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in versions up to and including 1.0.0. This is due to insufficient authorization checks in the hscrm_save_user_roles() function, which is hooked to the personal_options_update action accessible by any authenticated user. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access or higher, to potentially modify user roles via the profile update form.
IBM Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager 4.1, 4.1.1, 4.2, 4.2.1, 5.0, and 5.1 enables privilege escalation, allowing unauthorized users to perform administrative operations after being demoted. Attackers could access sensitive data, modify system configurations, or change permissions for other users. The issue undermines administrative controls and could lead to data breaches, system compromise, and loss of trust in the application's security mechanisms.
IBM WebSphere Application Server - Liberty 17.0.0.3 through 26.0.0.4 IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty is vulnerable to identity spoofing under limited conditions when an application is deployed without authentication and authorization configured.
Neko is a a self-hosted virtual browser that runs in Docker and uses WebRTC In versions 3.0.0 through 3.0.10 and 3.1.0 through 3.1.1, any authenticated user can immediately obtain full administrative control of the entire Neko instance (member management, room settings, broadcast control, session termination, etc.). This results in a complete compromise of the instance. The vulnerability has been patched in v3.0.11 and v3.1.2. If upgrading is not immediately possible, the following mitigations can reduce risk: Restrict access to trusted users only (avoid granting accounts to untrusted parties); ensure all user passwords are strong and only shared with trusted individuals; run the instance only when needed; avoid leaving it continuously exposed; place the instance behind authentication layers such as a reverse proxy with additional access controls; disable or restrict access to the /api/profile endpoint if feasible; and/or monitor for suspicious privilege changes or unexpected administrative actions. Note that these are temporary mitigations and do not fully eliminate the vulnerability. Upgrading is strongly recommended.
Dell PowerProtect Data Domain appliances, versions 7.7.1.0 through 8.6.0.0 and version 8.7.0.0, LTS2025 release versions 8.3.1.0 through 8.3.1.20, LTS2024 release versions 7.13.1.0 through 7.13.1.60 contain an improper privilege
management vulnerability. A high privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to elevation of privileges to access unauthorized delete operation.
NovumOS is a custom 32-bit operating system written in Zig and x86 Assembly. In versions prior to 0.24, Syscall 15 (MemoryMapRange) allows Ring 3 user-mode processes to map arbitrary virtual address ranges into their address space without validating against forbidden regions, including critical kernel structures such as the IDT, GDT, TSS, and page tables. A local attacker can exploit this to modify kernel interrupt handlers, resulting in privilege escalation from user mode to kernel context. This issue has been fixed in version 0.24.
NovumOS is a custom 32-bit operating system written in Zig and x86 Assembly. In versions prior to 0.24, Syscall 12 (JumpToUser) accepts an arbitrary entry point address from user-space registers without validation, allowing any Ring 3 user-mode process to jump to kernel addresses and execute arbitrary code in Ring 0 context, resulting in local privilege escalation. This issue has been fixed in version 0.24. If developers are unable to immediately update, they should restrict syscall access by running the system in single-user mode without Ring 3, and disable user-mode processes by only running kernel shell with no user processes. This issue has been fixed in version 0.24.
ChurchCRM is an open-source church management system. In versions prior to 7.2.0, the database backup restore functionality extracts uploaded archive contents and copies files from the Images/ directory into the web-accessible document root using recursiveCopyDirectory(), which performs no file extension filtering. An authenticated administrator can upload a crafted backup archive containing a PHP webshell inside the Images/ directory, which is then written to a publicly accessible path and executable via HTTP requests, resulting in remote code execution as the web server user. The restore endpoint also lacks CSRF token validation, enabling exploitation through cross-site request forgery targeting an authenticated administrator. This issue has been fixed in version 7.2.0.
CVE-2026-40002 is a medium severity vulnerability in the ZTE Red Magic 11 Pro (NX809J) device caused by improper privilege management. It allows non-privileged applications to perform sensitive operations by exploiting insufficient validation on a service interface. This can lead to unauthorized file writes on certain partitions and modification of writable system properties. The issue affects version GEN_NEEA_NX809J V1.0.0B14MR1. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently available, and no exploits are known in the wild.

The Barcode Scanner (+Mobile App) – Inventory manager, Order fulfillment system, POS (Point of Sale) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via insecure token-based authentication in all versions up to, and including, 1.11.0. This is due to the plugin trusting a user-supplied Base64-encoded user ID in the token parameter to identify users, leaking valid authentication tokens through the 'barcodeScannerConfigs' action, and lacking meta-key restrictions on the 'setUserMeta' action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to escalate their privileges to that of an administrator by first spoofing the admin user ID to leak their authentication token, then using that token to update any user's 'wp_capabilities' meta to gain full administrative access.
Weblate is a web based localization tool. In versions prior to 5.17, the user patching API endpoint didn't properly limit the scope of edits. This issue has been fixed in version 5.17.
Chamilo LMS versions prior to 2.0.0-RC.3 contain an improper privilege management vulnerability in the PUT /api/users/{id} endpoint. Authenticated users with the ROLE_STUDENT can escalate their privileges to ROLE_ADMIN by modifying the roles field on their own user record. This is due to insufficient authorization checks and the roles field being writable. Exploitation grants full administrative control over the platform, including access to all courses, user data, grades, and administrative settings. The vulnerability has been fixed in version 2.0.0-RC.
