Improper Privilege Management

A vulnerability in the REST API endpoint of Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to elevate privileges on the application. The vulnerability is due to insufficient access control validation. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by authenticating with a low-privilege account and sending a crafted request to the API. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to interact with the API with administrative privileges.Show less

A Privilege Escalation Vulnerability exists in IBM Maximo Asset Management 7.5, 7.1, and 6.2, when WebSeal with Basic Authentication is used, due to a failure to invalidate the authentication session, which could let a malicious user obtain unauthorized access.Show less

An authorization bypass exists in Lenovo XClarity Controller (XCC) versions prior to 3.08 CDI340V, 3.01 TEI392O, 1.71 PSI328N where a valid authenticated user with lesser privileges may be granted read-only access to higher-privileged information if 1) “LDAP Authentication Only with Local Authorization” mode is configured and used by XCC, and 2) a lesser privileged user logs into XCC within 1 minute of a higher privileged user logging out. The authorization bypass does not exist when “Local Authentication and Authorization” or “LDAP Authentication and Authorization” modes are configured and used by XCC.Show less

A Privilege Escalation Vulnerability exists in Free Reprintables ArticleFR 11.06.2014 due to insufficient access restrictions in the data.php script, which could let a remote malicious user obtain access or modify or delete database information.Show less

It has been found in openshift-enterprise version 3.11 and all openshift-enterprise versions from 4.1 to, including 4.3, that multiple containers modify the permissions of /etc/passwd to make them modifiable by users other than root. An attacker with access to the running container can exploit this to modify /etc/passwd to add a user and escalate their privileges. This CVE is specific to the openshift/mysql-apb.Show less

Dedicated Micros DV-IP Express, SD Advanced, SD, EcoSense, and DS2 devices rely on a GUI warning to help ensure that the administrator configures login credentials, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access by leveraging situations in which this warning was not heeded. NOTE: the vendor states "The user is presented with clear warnings on the GUI that they should set usernames and passwords."Show less

MCabber before 1.0.4 is vulnerable to roster push attacks, which allows remote attackers to intercept communications, or add themselves as an entity on a 3rd party's roster as another user, which will also garner associated privileges, via crafted XMPP packets.Show less

The J-BusinessDirectory extension before 5.2.9 for Joomla! allows Reverse Tabnabbing. In some configurations, the link to the business website can be entered by any user. If it doesn't contain rel="noopener" (or similar attributes such as noreferrer), the tabnabbing may occur. To reproduce the bug, create a business with a website link that contains JavaScript to exploit the window.opener property (for example, by setting window.opener.location).Show less

The System Management Mode (SMM) implementation in Dell Latitude E6430 BIOS Revision A09, HP EliteBook 850 G1 BIOS revision L71 Ver. 01.09, and possibly other BIOS implementations does not ensure that function calls operate on SMRAM memory locations, which allows local users to bypass the Secure Boot protection mechanism and gain privileges by leveraging write access to physical memory.Show less

A privilege escalation vulnerability in BDLDaemon as used in Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac allows a local attacker to obtain authentication tokens for requests submitted to the Bitdefender Cloud. This issue affects: Bitdefender Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac versions prior to 8.0.0.Show less

The parse_cmd function in lib/gitlab_shell.rb in GitLab 5.0 before 5.4.2, Community Edition before 6.2.4, and Enterprise Edition before 6.2.1 and gitlab-shell before 1.7.8 allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges and clone arbitrary repositories.Show less
