Details

phpMyFAQ before 4.1.5 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in the user/add API endpoint that allows non-SuperAdmin administrators to create SuperAdmin accounts. A delegated administrator with USER_ADD/EDIT/DELETE permissions can call POST /admin/api/user/add with isSuperAdmin: true and attacker-chosen credentials to create a SuperAdmin account, then authenticate as that account to achieve full instance takeover.

Summary
Open WebUI: Non-admin users can delete admin-owned external knowledge connections via knowledge base deletion
Details

Summary

External knowledge connections are created and owned by administrators, and are shared by every external knowledge base bound to them. Deleting an external knowledge base also removed that connection from the instance configuration, with no check on the caller's role and no check for other knowledge bases still using it. Any authenticated user holding a write grant on a single external knowledge base could therefore wipe a shared connection that other knowledge bases depend on, and the dedicated administrator route for deleting a connection explicitly refuses that same operation while the connection is still in use.

Preconditions

The deployment uses external knowledge bases, backed by the qdrant, milvus or pgvector external providers. Instances with only local knowledge bases are not affected.

An administrator created at least one external connection and at least one external knowledge base bound to it. Both of those actions are admin-only.

The attacker is an ordinary authenticated user holding a write grant on one of those external knowledge bases. A read grant is not enough, and an unrelated user cannot reach the route at all.

The damage scales with sharing. It is worst when one connection backs several knowledge bases, because deleting a single knowledge base destroys the connection for all of them.

Impact

An ordinary user removes instance-wide configuration that only administrators can create or manage. Every other external knowledge base bound to the deleted connection keeps its stored connection id and stops working: retrieval against it fails with "External knowledge connection not found", so those knowledge bases return nothing in chat until an administrator recreates the connection by hand. The stored credential goes with it, and connection API responses strip credentials, so an administrator who did not keep the key elsewhere cannot restore the connection without obtaining it again.

Nothing is disclosed to the attacker and the external vector store itself is untouched. What is lost is Open WebUI's own connection configuration, and the availability of the knowledge bases that depend on it.

Fix

Fixed in 0.11.1 by https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/28113. Deleting an external knowledge base now clears its connection only when the caller is an administrator and the knowledge base being deleted is the last one referencing that connection, matching the dedicated connection delete route. Upgrading resolves the issue with no configuration change required.

Root cause

Affected component: the knowledge base delete handler in backend/open_webui/routers/knowledge.py, reached through DELETE /api/v1/knowledge/{id}/delete.

Affected setup: every release from 0.10.0, where external knowledge connections were introduced, up to and including 0.11.0.

The handler authorized the caller against the knowledge base, which a write grant satisfies, and then performed a second, unrelated operation against global configuration in the same request. That second step carried no authorization of its own. It neither required the administrator role that creating a connection requires, nor counted the other knowledge bases still bound to the connection. The dedicated route DELETE /api/v1/knowledge/external/connections/{id} already performed both checks, so an outcome an administrator was blocked from was reachable by a non-administrator through the knowledge base route.

Proof of concept

Reproduced against a local instance on 0.11.0 with default settings, and against 0.11.1 for comparison.

An administrator created one external connection and two external knowledge bases bound to it, then granted a plain user write access on the first knowledge base. As that user:

DELETE /api/v1/knowledge/{KB_A}/delete
Authorization: Bearer <user token>

On 0.11.0 the request returns 200 true. The administrator connection list then returns zero connections, the second knowledge base still carries the deleted connection id, and retrieving from it raises "External knowledge connection not found".

On 0.11.1 the same request deletes the knowledge base, the connection list still returns the connection, and the second knowledge base is unaffected. An administrator deleting the last remaining knowledge base on that connection still clears it, so the intended cleanup is preserved.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-08 23:09 – Updated: 2026-06-08 23:09

Summary
nebula-mesh's web UI lacks CSRF tokens on /ui/* mutating endpoints
Details

Every /ui/* POST / PUT / PATCH / DELETE route processes the request as soon as the session cookie validates. SameSite=Lax on the session cookie prevents most cross-site form submits but does not protect:

  • top-level form-submit navigations from third-party pages (some browsers still send Lax cookies on top-level POSTs)
  • same-registrable-domain attackers (sibling-subdomain XSS, subdomain takeover)
  • the GET /ui/logout route, which a third-party <img src=".../ui/logout"> can force-trigger

The admin UI signs CA certificates, mints API keys, rotates / retires / deletes CAs, disables operators, and changes server settings. CSRF here is a real privilege escalation, not just annoyance.

Affected

All released versions up to v0.3.2.

Suggested fix

Double-submit cookie: a 32-byte crypto/rand token in a non-HttpOnly _csrf cookie, echoed in either X-CSRF-Token (htmx) or a _csrf form field (HTML forms). Compared in constant time. Rotated on every privilege transition (Login, OIDC StartAuthenticatedSession, CompleteTwoFactor, Logout) so pre-auth fixation cannot survive promotion. Rejections audit-logged as ui.csrf.rejected with reason; response body stays opaque.

/ui/logout becomes POST so it is no longer reachable via <img> tags.

Fix coordinates with the Secure-cookie advisory disclosed concurrently — the _csrf cookie inherits the same Secure-attribute derivation.

Reproducer

With an authenticated operator session in browser tab A, open the following minimal HTML in any other tab:

<form action="https://nebula.example.com/ui/cas/{ca-id}/delete" method="POST">
  <button>Click for free puppy</button>
</form>

Click. The CA is deleted — the server processes the POST because the session cookie is automatically attached and there is no other check. The same trick works for force-rotate, retire, mint API keys, disable operators, etc.

Alternative force-logout: <img src="https://nebula.example.com/ui/logout"> placed on an attacker's page logs out any visiting authenticated operator. No interaction required.

Notes

  • Multipart and JSON endpoints don't exist in the current UI surface. Future additions must rely on the header path because r.PostFormValue only reads application/x-www-form-urlencoded bodies. The middleware's package comment documents this.
  • The patch assumes nebula-mgmt is the sole authority on its registrable domain. A compromised sibling subdomain can still set parent-domain cookies and forge matches; SameSite=Lax does not prevent that. Documented in the patch.

Summary
OpenStack Identity Keystone is vulnerable to Block delegation escalation of privilege
Details

OpenStack Identity (Keystone) before 2013.2.4, 2014.1 before 2014.1.2, and Juno before Juno-2 does not properly handle chained delegation, which allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges by leveraging a (1) trust or (2) OAuth token with impersonation enabled to create a new token with additional roles.

Summary
Keycloak Privilege Escalation Vulnerability in Admin Console (FGAPv2 Enabled)
Details

A Privilege Escalation vulnerability was identified in the Keycloak identity and access management solution, specifically when FGAPv2 is enabled in version 26.2.x. The flaw lies in the admin permission enforcement logic, where a user with manage-users privileges can self-assign realm-admin rights. The escalation occurs due to missing privilege boundary checks in role mapping operations via the admin REST interface. A malicious administrator with limited permissions can exploit this by editing their own user roles, gaining unauthorized full access to realm configuration and user data.

This issue has been fixed in versions 26.2.6, and 26.3.0.

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.
