Improper Privilege Management (CWE-269) in Kibana Fleet can lead to privilege escalation via Privilege Escalation (CAPEC-233). An integration policy may optionally declare extra data streams that the integration writes to, which Fleet adds to the Elasticsearch API key issued to Elastic Agents enrolled in the corresponding agent policy. The resulting key allows new documents to be inserted and index mappings to be extended for specific indices. The key does not allow reading, updating, or deleting existing documentsShow less

The GET /api/v1/user/actions/runners/registration-token endpoint (and its owner- and repository-level equivalents) creates a new runner registration token if none exists, yet the API scope middleware classifies it as read-only because it is a GET request. A holder of a leaked read:user-scoped token can therefore mint a registration token and register a malicious Actions runner that executes workflow jobs with access to repository secrets and source code.Show less

UpSnap is a wake on lan web app. Versions 4.4.1 through 5.3.5 are vulnerable to a missing-authentication / privilege-escalation chain in `pb.HandlerInitSuperuser` (`backend/pb/handlers.go:249`), reachable as `POST /api/upsnap/init-superuser`. The vulnerable code lacks any authentication, setup token, IP allow-list, or rate limit and is gated only by a `totalSuperusers > 0` count check — a condition that is false on every fresh install — allowing an unauthenticated network-adjacent attacker to register the initial superuser account, receive a long-lived JWT, and pivot to root remote code execution at `backend/networking/wake.go:43` (`exec.CommandContext(ctx, "/bin/sh", "-c", wake_cmd)`). Version 5.4.0 fixes the issue.Show less

A flaw was found in the cluster-curator-controller component. A local user, by creating a ClusterCurator resource with a specific naming convention, can trigger the creation of a cluster-scoped ClusterRoleBinding. This allows the user to escalate their privileges from namespace-local access to cluster-wide control. This privilege escalation grants broad permissions, including the ability to access and manipulate secrets, manage cluster actions, and delete hosted clusters or node pools.Show less

Semaphore UI is a web interface for managing DevOps tools. Prior to 2.18.19 and from 2.19.0-alpha3 until 2.19.5-beta5, ProjectMiddleware and GetProjectOrGlobalRoleBySlug allow a project manager to use POST /api/project/{id}/roles to create a custom manager role with permission bitmask 15, overriding the built-in manager permissions and granting CanUpdateProject and CanManageProjectUsers owner capabilities. This issue is fixed in versions 2.18.19 and 2.19.5-beta5.Show less

A flaw was found in the multicloud-operators-channel component of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (RHACM). This vulnerability allows a compromised agent from a managed cluster to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information. Specifically, the agent can read all Secrets and ConfigMaps within any Channel namespace on the hub, potentially exposing credentials for other tenants' Git and Helm repositories. This could lead to significant information disclosure.Show less

An issue in MongoDB Server could allow an authenticated user with limited, database-scoped privileges to modify diagnostic logging settings that affect the entire server rather than just the intended database. This could allow suppression of diagnostic logging server-wide, potentially obscuring unauthorized activity, or degrade operational monitoring by causing excessive log volume.Show less

The AcyMailing – An Ultimate Newsletter Plugin and Marketing Automation Solution for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 10.11.1. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to overwrite the BCC field of the acy_notification_cms notification template, causing subsequent WordPress password-reset emails — including those targeting administrator accounts — to be silently copied to an attacker-controlled address, enabling account takeover via the captured reset link. Successful exploitation requires the site administrator to have enabled the "Send website emails with AcyMailing" option, which routes WordPress core notification emails through AcyMailing's templating system.Show less

Cursor is a code editor built for programming with AI. Prior to 3.0.0, Cursor IDE for macOS allows an agent running in Auto-Run Sandbox mode, when Docker Desktop and the Dev Containers CLI are installed, to launch a privileged container and mount Docker's virtiofs0, granting read and write access to the user's home directory and enabling host command execution with the user's privileges without an additional permission prompt. This issue is fixed in version 3.0.0.Show less
