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.

Steeltoe is an open source project that provides a collection of libraries that helps users build cloud-native applications. In Steeltoe.Management.Endpoint prior to version 4.2.0 and Steeltoe.Management.EndpointCore prior to version 3.4.0, all Steeltoe actuator endpoints default to `EndpointPermissions.Restricted`, which is mappeds to Cloud Foundry's `read_basic_data` permission (granted to Space Auditors and similar low-trust roles). Sensitive actuators including heap dump, environment, and thread dump do not raise this to `EndpointPermissions.Full`, so CF's `read_sensitive_data` permission flag is not enforced for those endpoints. Spring Boot's equivalent Cloud Foundry integration gates these endpoints with `read_sensitive_data` by default. Steeltoe.Management.Endpoint 4.2.0 and Steeltoe.Management.EndpointCore 3.4.0 patch the issue. If an immediate upgrade is not possible, explicitly set `RequiredPermissions = EndpointPermissions.Full` in the options for `HeapDumpEndpointOptions`, `EnvironmentEndpointOptions`, and `ThreadDumpEndpointOptions`; and/or if heap dump, thread dump, or environment are not needed in production, register only the required actuators individually instead of using `AddAllActuators()`.

Azuriom CMS versions prior to 1.2.11 contain a missing authorization vulnerability in server management routes. An authenticated user with admin.access permission can exploit this flaw to create AzLink server tokens and hijack non-admin user accounts by changing their passwords and email addresses through specific HTTP requests. This vulnerability affects all platforms running affected versions and allows unauthorized account takeover without requiring additional user interaction.

The Contest Gallery – Upload & Vote Photos, Media, Sell with PayPal & Stripe plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 30.0.2 via the `RegistryUserRole` parameter. This is due to the plugin's admin menu being registered at the `edit_posts` capability level — granting Contributor-level users access to the plugin's admin pages and a valid `cg_admin` nonce — while the option-saving handler in `change-options-and-sizes.php` performs no `current_user_can()` capability check beyond `check_admin_referer('cg_admin')`, and the `RegistryUserRole` value is processed only through `sanitize_text_field()` and `htmlentities()` without restriction to an allowlist of permitted role names. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-level access and above, to overwrite the plugin's stored `RegistryUserRole` option with `administrator`, which the `cg_create_wp_user_from_google_user` function then reads back from the `contest_gal1ery_registry_and_login_options` database table without any allowlist validation and passes directly to `wp_update_user()`, effectively promoting a newly registered Google sign-in account to Administrator.

api-gateway container running with root privilege would allow an attacker to escape the container and access host system to perform unintended actions.

LatePoint – Calendar Booking Plugin for Appointments and Events versions up to and including 5.5.1 contain a privilege escalation vulnerability. Authenticated users with Agent-level access can chain three independent flaws to overwrite an Administrator's password without accessing Administrator-only APIs. This allows attackers to elevate their privileges to Administrator. The vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2026-8176 and has a high severity rating with a CVSS score of 7.5.

CVE-2026-8935 is a critical vulnerability in the WP MAPS PRO WordPress plugin before version 6.1.1. It involves improper privilege management where an unauthenticated AJAX action, combined with a publicly available nonce, allows creation of an administrator account and grants interactive admin access via a magic-login URL. This vulnerability enables full administrative control without authentication.

Nezha Monitoring is a self-hostable, lightweight, servers and websites monitoring and O&M tool. From version 1.4.0 to before version 2.0.8, a RoleMember user can create a scheduled cron task with Cover=CronCoverAll, Servers=[] and an arbitrary Command. At every tick of the scheduler, the dashboard pushes that command to every server in the global ServerShared map — including servers that belong to other tenants (admin's servers, other members' servers). Each agent runs the command and returns the output, which is then sent to the attacker's own NotificationGroup → attacker-controlled webhook. This issue has been patched in version 2.0.8.

Idira Endpoint Privilege Manager Agent versions prior to 26.5 exhibit improper access control within high-privileged agent components. A local, low-privileged attacker could exploit this by manipulating an internal communication mechanism or file operation. Under specific circumstances, this could potentially allow the attacker to bypass permission restrictions and execute unauthorized local actions with elevated privileges.
