Title
Kloxo <= 6.1.12 Local Privilege Escalation
Summary
Kloxo versions 6.1.12 and earlier contain two setuid root binaries—lxsuexec and lxrestart—that allow local privilege escalation from uid 48. The lxsuexec binary performs a uid check and permits execution of arbitrary commands as root if the invoking user matches uid 48. This flaw enables attackers with Apache-level access to escalate privileges to root without authentication.

GHSA-227G-5725-2CF3
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-24 17:28 – Updated: 2022-05-24 17:28
VLAI
Details
A sandbox escape issue was discovered in TitanHQ SpamTitan Gateway 7.07. It limits the admin user to a restricted shell, allowing execution of a small number of tools of the operating system. The restricted shell can be bypassed by presenting a fake vmware-tools ISO image to the guest virtual machine running SpamTitan Gateway. This ISO image should contain a valid Perl script at the vmware-freebsd-tools/vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl path. The fake ISO image will be mounted and the script wmware-install.pl will be executed with super-user privileges as soon as the hidden option to install VMware Tools is selected in the main menu of the restricted shell (option number 5). The contents of the script can be whatever the attacker wants, including a backdoor or similar.

GHSA-227R-JM2G-7CP4
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-07-02 20:31 – Updated: 2026-07-02 20:31

Summary
Steeltoe's sensitive actuators (heapdump/env) only require Restricted permission
Details
Summary
All Steeltoe actuator endpoints default to EndpointPermissions.Restricted, which is mapped 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.
Impact
Any CF user holding Space Auditor, Space Manager, or Org Auditor role can access the heap dump, environment, and thread dump actuators for any Steeltoe application in their space. A heap dump contains all in-memory data including database passwords, bearer tokens, and VCAP_SERVICES credentials. CF's read_sensitive_data permission, which is specifically designed to gate this access, has no effect.
Affected configuration
- Application is deployed on Cloud Foundry with CF actuator and security middleware active (added automatically by
AddAllActuators()when a CF environment is detected). - The attacker holds a CF role that grants
read_basic_data: Space Auditor, Space Manager, or Org Auditor.
Mitigations
If an immediate upgrade is not possible:
- Explicitly set
RequiredPermissions = EndpointPermissions.Fullin the options forHeapDumpEndpointOptions,EnvironmentEndpointOptions, andThreadDumpEndpointOptions. - If heap dump, thread dump, or environment are not needed in production, register only the required actuators individually instead of using
AddAllActuators().

Mitigation MIT-1
Architecture and Design
Operation
Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
Mitigation MIT-48
Architecture and Design
Strategy: Separation of Privilege
Follow the principle of least privilege when assigning access rights to entities in a software system.
Mitigation MIT-49
Architecture and Design
Strategy: Separation of Privilege
Consider following the principle of separation of privilege. Require multiple conditions to be met before permitting access to a system resource.
CAPEC-122: Privilege Abuse
An adversary is able to exploit features of the target that should be reserved for privileged users or administrators but are exposed to use by lower or non-privileged accounts. Access to sensitive information and functionality must be controlled to ensure that only authorized users are able to access these resources.
CAPEC-233: Privilege Escalation
An adversary exploits a weakness enabling them to elevate their privilege and perform an action that they are not supposed to be authorized to perform.
CAPEC-58: Restful Privilege Elevation
An adversary identifies a Rest HTTP (Get, Put, Delete) style permission method allowing them to perform various malicious actions upon server data due to lack of access control mechanisms implemented within the application service accepting HTTP messages.
