GHSA-R262-F4QM-HRP9
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-02-06 09:30 – Updated: 2026-02-06 09:30The WP Duplicate plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization leading to Arbitrary File Upload in all versions up to and including 1.1.8. This is due to a missing capability check on the process_add_site() AJAX action combined with path traversal in the file upload functionality. This makes it possible for authenticated (subscriber-level) attackers to set the internal prod_key_random_id option, which can then be used by an unauthenticated attacker to bypass authentication checks and write arbitrary files to the server via the handle_upload_single_big_file() function, ultimately leading to remote code execution.

GHSA-R279-47WG-CHPR
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-12-12 19:20 – Updated: 2024-12-12 22:33Impact
Any user with script rights can perform arbitrary remote code execution by adding instances of XWiki.ConfigurableClass to any page. This compromises the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the whole XWiki installation.
To reproduce on a instance, as a user with script rights, edit your user profile and add an object of type XWiki.ConfigurableClass ("Custom configurable sections").
Set "Display in section" and "Display in category" to other, "Scope" to Wiki and all spaces and "Heading" to:
#set($codeToExecute = 'Test') #set($codeToExecuteResult = '{{async}}{{groovy}}services.logging.getLogger("attacker").error("Attack from Heading succeeded!"){{/groovy}}{{/async}}')
Save the page and view it, then add ?sheet=XWiki.AdminSheet&viewer=content§ion=other to the URL.
If the logs contain "attacker - Attack from Heading succeeded!", then the instance is vulnerable.
Patches
This has been patched in XWiki 15.10.9 and 16.3.0.
Workarounds
We're not aware of any workaround except upgrading.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-22 09:30 – Updated: 2026-06-23 21:30Apache NiFi 1.12.0 through 2.9.0 are missing authorization when replacing Process Groups that include extension components with specific Required Permissions based on the Restricted annotation. The Restricted annotation indicates additional privileges required, but framework authorization did not check restricted status when handling requests to replace Process Groups. The missing authorization permits a user with general write access to add components with Restricted status. Apache NiFi installations that do not implement specific authorization for Restricted components are not subject to this vulnerability because the framework enforces write permissions as the security boundary. Upgrading to Apache NiFi 2.9.0 is the recommended mitigation, which removes the implementation of Restricted status authorization from the framework.

The speedup01_ajax_enabled() function, which handles the wp_ajax_speedup01_enabled AJAX action, does not perform any capability check via current_user_can() and also lacks nonce verification. This is in contrast to other AJAX handlers in the same plugin (e.g., speedup01_ajax_install_iox and speedup01_ajax_delete_cache_file) which properly check for install_plugins and manage_options capabilities respectively. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to enable or disable the site's optimization module by sending a POST request to admin-ajax.

GHSA-R2PW-M85M-3MFQ
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-10 15:31 – Updated: 2026-05-10 15:31WordPress TheCartPress 1.5.3.6 contains an unauthenticated privilege escalation vulnerability that allows attackers to create administrator accounts by submitting crafted requests to the AJAX handler. Attackers can send POST requests to the tcp_register_and_login_ajax action with tcp_role set to administrator to gain full administrative access without authentication.

Mitigation
- Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
- Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].
Mitigation MIT-4.4
Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
- For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
- For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
- One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
CAPEC-665: Exploitation of Thunderbolt Protection Flaws
An adversary leverages a firmware weakness within the Thunderbolt protocol, on a computing device to manipulate Thunderbolt controller firmware in order to exploit vulnerabilities in the implementation of authorization and verification schemes within Thunderbolt protection mechanisms. Upon gaining physical access to a target device, the adversary conducts high-level firmware manipulation of the victim Thunderbolt controller SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) flash, through the use of a SPI Programing device and an external Thunderbolt device, typically as the target device is booting up. If successful, this allows the adversary to modify memory, subvert authentication mechanisms, spoof identities and content, and extract data and memory from the target device. Currently 7 major vulnerabilities exist within Thunderbolt protocol with 9 attack vectors as noted in the Execution Flow.
