Title
OpenWrt luci-app-samba4 read ACL remote code execution via smbd
Summary
OpenWrt luci-app-samba4 read ACL grants file.exec permission on /usr/sbin/smbd, allowing authenticated delegated users to execute the Samba daemon with caller-controlled command-line arguments. Attackers can pass arbitrary Samba global options such as message command to a root smbd process, triggering command execution when SMB protocol messages are processed.

CVE-2026-59245 (GCVE-0-2026-59245)

Title
Apache Airflow FAB provider: FAB auth manager: a DAG named "DAGs" hijacks the global all-DAGs permission (access_control privilege escalation via resource_name() collision)
Summary
In the Apache Airflow FAB auth manager, a DAG whose `dag_id` is `DAGs` collided with the global all-DAGs permission resource name produced by `resource_name()`, so a user granted per-DAG `access_control` on that one DAG was silently granted the global all-DAGs permission (privilege escalation). The escalation triggers when a DAG named `DAGs` exists and a lower-privileged user is given per-DAG access to it, granting that user read/edit access to every DAG. Users are advised to upgrade to `apache-airflow-providers-fab` 3.7.2 or later, which disambiguates the resource-name collision.

CVE-2026-58054 (GCVE-0-2026-58054)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-06-28 01:32 – Updated: 2026-07-24 18:41
VLAI

This CVE ID has been rejected or withdrawn by its CVE Numbering Authority. This CVE was assigned on the basis that the permission system allows a limited administrator to grant privileges exceeding their own authorization scope, potentially constituting an insecure default configuration. Following a dispute, the MITRE TL-Root determined the behavior reflects documented and intended product design rather than a security vulnerability.

Title
Gitea act_runner - Container Hardening Bypass via Workflow Container Options
Summary
Gitea act_runner with the Docker backend (through act 0.262.0) passes a workflow's container.options string to the Docker job container's HostConfig and, when configured with privileged: false, forces only the Privileged flag off while merging options such as --pid=host, --cap-add, and --security-opt unchanged. A user who can run a workflow on a Docker-backed runner can create a job container with host namespaces and broad capabilities and escape to the host as root despite privileged mode being disabled.

Title
phpMyFAQ - Privilege Escalation via Missing SuperAdmin Guard in user/add Endpoint
Summary
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.

Title
phpMyFAQ - Privilege Escalation via Missing Self-Rights Constraint in GroupController::updatePermissions
Summary
phpMyFAQ before 4.1.5 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in GroupController::updatePermissions that allows GROUP_EDIT administrators to grant arbitrary rights to groups without verifying they hold those rights themselves. A delegated administrator can exploit this by assigning high-value permissions to a group they belong to, inheriting those rights and escalating privileges up to full administrative control.

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.
