Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-28 03:33 – Updated: 2026-06-28 03:33

Details

MyBB 1.8.40 does not restrict which usergroup a limited Admin Control Panel user may assign when creating or editing users; the user module offers the Administrators group (gid 4) and its datahandler's verify_usergroup() unconditionally returns true. An admin holding only the delegated user-management permission can assign the Administrators group to an account and escalate to the full Administrator permission set.

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

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

This CVE ID has been rejected or withdrawn by its CVE Numbering Authority.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.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
