YesWiki is a wiki system written in PHP. Prior to version 4.6.6, the {{erasespamedcomments}} wiki action (actions/EraseSpamedCommentsAction.php) accepts a suppr[] array from POST and deletes every wiki page whose tag appears in that array, with no authorization check anywhere in the action body or in the page-deletion path it invokes. Combined with YesWiki's allow-by-default action ACL model, any user who has page write access, which is the default for everyone (default_write_acl='*') on a fresh install can permanently delete arbitrary wiki pages, including the front page, admin pages, and pages owned by other users. This issue has been patched in version 4.6.6.Show less

A security issue exists within the Redundancy Module Configuration Tool. The RMConfigTool.exe binary searches directories in the system path for a required DLL, and one or more of these directories may be writable by standard (non-administrator) users due to incorrect default permissions. If a local attacker places a malicious DLL in such a directory and an administrator subsequently runs the tool, the malicious DLL is loaded into the elevated process and executes with Administrator/SYSTEM privileges.Show less

RansomLook created its Flask session-signing key without explicitly restricting the file permissions. The secret_key file was created using the process's default permissions and umask, resulting in permissions such as 0644 under a common 022 umask. Consequently, other local users able to access the RansomLook home directory could read the application's cryptographic secret. The exposed key is security-critical because it is used to sign Flask session cookies and is also involved in the legacy API-key key derivation. An attacker who obtains the key can generate valid session cookies and impersonate an authenticated user, including an administrator. In LDAP configurations, exploitation may be particularly straightforward because the session user loader does not require the supplied username to correspond to an existing local user. Successful exploitation requires local access sufficient to read the improperly protected file, but can result in complete compromise of RansomLook's authentication and authorization controls. The patch creates new secret-key files atomically with permissions 0600 and also restricts permissions on existing key files during application startup.Show less

Kenwood DNR1007XR USB Incorrect Default Permissions Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows physically present attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Kenwood DNR1007XR devices. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the configuration of the mount point for the USB filesystem. The issue results from incorrect permissions on a directory used by the product. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-29070.Show less

Turso CLI is the command line interface (CLI) to the open-source database Turso. Versions prior to 1.0.26 persist the user's Turso platform JWT to `settings.json` using Viper's default `configPermissions` of `0o644`, leaving the credential file world-readable on standard Linux and macOS systems. Any other local UID on the host can read the file and recover the platform JWT, which grants full Turso platform access scoped to the user's organizations. Version 1.0.26 patches the issue.Show less
