| CVE-2025-6080 | Hig | 0.57 | 8.8 | 0.00 | Aug 16, 2025 | The WPGYM - Wordpress Gym Management System plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized admin account creation in all versions up to, and including, 67.7.0. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's capabilities prior to adding users. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to create new users, including admins. | |
| CVE-2025-37101 | Hig | 0.57 | 8.7 | 0.00 | Jun 26, 2025 | A potential security vulnerability has been identified in HPE OneView for VMware vCenter (OV4VC). This vulnerability could be exploited allowing an attacker with read only privilege to cause Vertical Privilege Escalation (operator can perform admin actions). | |
| CVE-2025-5491 | Hig | 0.57 | 8.8 | 0.02 | Jun 13, 2025 | Acer ControlCenter contains Remote Code Execution vulnerability. The program exposes a Windows Named Pipe that uses a custom protocol to invoke internal functions. However, this Named Pipe is misconfigured, allowing remote users with low privileges to interact with it and access its features. One such feature enables the execution of arbitrary programs as NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM. By leveraging this, remote attackers can execute arbitrary code on the target system with elevated privileges. | |
| CVE-2025-4601 | Hig | 0.57 | 8.8 | 0.00 | Jun 10, 2025 | The "RH - Real Estate WordPress Theme" theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 4.4.0. This is due to the theme not properly restricting user roles that can be updated as part of the inspiry_update_profile() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to set their role to that of an administrator. The vulnerability was partially patched in version 4.4.0, and fully patched in version 4.4.1. | |
| CVE-2024-51392 | Hig | 0.57 | 8.8 | 0.01 | May 29, 2025 | An issue in OpenKnowledgeMaps Headstart v7 allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges via the url parameter of the getPDF.php component | |

This is due to insufficient restrictions on user meta that can be updated through the save_multiple_shipping_addresses() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to elevate their privileges to that of an administrator. | |
| CVE-2025-3852 | Hig | 0.57 | 8.8 | 0.00 | May 7, 2025 | The WPshop 2 – E-Commerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in versions 2.0.0 to 2.6.0. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their details like email & password through the update() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to change arbitrary user's passwords, including administrators, and leverage that to gain access to their account. | |
