IBM Financial Transaction Manager (FTM) for RedHat OpenShift could allow a remote authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges due to improper privilege management.

IBM Concert versions 1.0.0 through 3.0.0 contain an improper privilege management vulnerability due to the use of wildcards in role-based access control (RBAC) permission definitions. This flaw allows a remote authenticated attacker to access or modify resources they are not authorized to, potentially leading to full compromise of confidentiality and integrity. The vulnerability has a critical severity with a CVSS score of 9.6.

A potential security vulnerability has been identified in the HP Support Assistant for versions prior to 9.55.10.0. The vulnerability could potentially allow a local attacker to escalate privileges due to insufficient access controls.

The CMP – Coming Soon & Maintenance Plugin by NiteoThemes for WordPress contains an improper privilege management vulnerability in versions up to and including 4.1.17. Authenticated users with Editor-level access or higher can exploit a missing capability check on the 'cmp_ajax_import_settings' AJAX action to modify arbitrary site options. This can lead to privilege escalation by changing the default user role to administrator and enabling user registration, allowing attackers to gain administrative access.

The Meta Box AIO plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation to Administrator in versions up to, and including, 3.11.0. This is due to a chained flaw: the populate_via_query_string() function in the mb-frontend-submission component unconditionally overrides the form's target object_id from the GET parameter 'rwmb_frontend_field_object_id' without any authorization check, and Form::process() lacks the user_can_edit() check present in render(), allowing unauthenticated attackers to overwrite the post_content of any page with an arbitrary shortcode via wp_update_post(); the mb-user-profile component then directly trusts the 'role' and 'auto_login' shortcode attributes in the injected [mb_user_profile_register] shortcode with no role validation. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to elevate their privileges to Administrator. The standalone plugins Meta Box Frontend Submission (in versions up to 4.5.6) and Meta Box User Profile (versions up to 3.11.0) are also affected.

HomeBox is a home inventory and organization system. Prior to 0.26.0, HandleWipeInventory in backend/app/api/handlers/v1/v1_ctrl_actions.go authorizes POST /v1/actions/wipe-inventory through the global ctx.User.IsOwner value instead of the caller's role in the active group, while the active group is selected through the X-Tenant request header. Because every self-registered user who creates a group receives the global owner value, a user who is also a member of another group can select that group with X-Tenant and permanently delete its complete inventory, which is not recoverable without external backups. This issue is fixed in version 0.26.0.

SmartLife app dynamically generates brand‑new SmartLife application authentication parameters within its runtime process. With the obtained SmartLife application authentication parameters, attackers can directly invoke the backend interface /account/verify.serv to determine whether a target email address is registered for a SmartLife account. If the account exists, the real backend account ID can also be retrieved.

The Import and export users and customers WordPress plugin before 2.5.2 does not enforce the promote_users capability in its front-end import functionality, allowing users with only the create_users capability to change the role of existing users, including promoting them to administrator.

The Import and export users and customers WordPress plugin before 2.5.2 does not correctly enforce the promote_users capability when assigning roles during a CSV import, allowing users with only the create_users capability to create new administrator accounts or promote existing users to administrator.

The Forminator Forms WordPress plugin before 1.57.2.1 does not apply the role validation it enforces elsewhere when a registration form is nested inside an imported quiz, allowing a user who may import quizzes to publish a live, publicly reachable form that grants any role, including administrator, to anyone who submits it. The same user is refused an identical form through both the ordinary form editor and the ordinary form import.
