Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-02-12 18:31 – Updated: 2024-10-08 21:31The Web3 WordPress plugin before 3.0.0 is vulnerable to an authentication bypass due to incorrect authentication checking in the login flow in functions 'handle_auth_request' and 'hadle_login_request'. This makes it possible for non authenticated attackers to log in as any existing user on the site, such as an administrator, if they have access to the username.

GHSA-X83W-23JP-G6PW
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-07 00:08 – Updated: 2026-05-07 00:08Description
A flaw was identified in the OpenSearch Security plugin's document-level security (DLS) implementation. DLS restrictions were not correctly applied to search queries that use has_parent or has_child join relations. This could allow an authenticated user to access document contents that should have been restricted by DLS rules.
Impact
An authenticated user with access to an index containing parent/child join relations could bypass DLS restrictions on documents linked by those relations, potentially accessing restricted document contents. This only affects clusters that use both DLS and the join field type on the same index.
Patches
This issue is fixed in OpenSearch 2.19.4 and 3.2.0.
Workarounds
Avoid using the join field type on indices that are subject to DLS rules.

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.
No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
