| CVE-2026-40498 | Cri | 0.57 | 9.8 | 0.00 | Apr 21, 2026 | FreeScout is a free self-hosted help desk and shared mailbox. Prior to version 1.8.213, an unauthenticated attacker can access diagnostic and system tools that should be restricted to administrators. The /system/cron endpoint relies on a static MD5 hash derived from the APP_KEY, which is exposed in the response and logs. Accessing these endpoints reveals sensitive server information (Full Path Disclosure), process IDs, and allows for Resource Exhaustion (DoS) by triggering heavy background tasks repeatedly without any rate limiting. The cron hash is generated using md5(APP_KEY . 'web_cron_hash'). Since this hash is often transmitted via GET requests, it is susceptible to exposure in server logs, browser history, and proxy logs. Furthermore, the lack of rate limiting on these endpoints allows for automated resource exhaustion (DoS) and brute-force attempts. Version 1.8.213 fixes the issue. | |
| CVE-2026-31018 | Hig | 0.57 | 8.8 | 0.00 | Apr 21, 2026 | In Dolibarr ERP & CRM <= 22.0.4, PHP code detection and editing permission enforcement in the Website module is not applied consistently to all input parameters, allowing an authenticated user restricted to HTML/JavaScript editing to inject PHP code through unprotected inputs during website page creation. | |
| CVE-2026-5863 | Hig | 0.57 | 8.8 | 0.00 | Apr 8, 2026 | Inappropriate implementation in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 147.0.7727.55 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High) | |
| CVE-2026-1114 | Cri | 0.57 | 9.8 | 0.00 | Apr 7, 2026 | In parisneo/lollms version 2.1.0, the application's session management is vulnerable to improper access control due to the use of a weak secret key for signing JSON Web Tokens (JWT). This vulnerability allows an attacker to perform an offline brute-force attack to recover the secret key. Once the secret key is obtained, the attacker can forge administrative tokens by modifying the JWT payload and resigning it with the cracked secret. This enables unauthorized users to escalate privileges, impersonate the administrator, and gain access to restricted endpoints. The issue is resolved in version 2.2.0. | |
| CVE-2026-34572 | Hig | 0.57 | 8.8 | 0.00 | Apr 1, 2026 | CI4MS is a CodeIgniter 4-based CMS skeleton that delivers a production-ready, modular architecture with RBAC authorization and theme support. Prior to version 0.31.0.0, the application fails to immediately revoke active user sessions when an account is deactivated. Due to a logic flaw in the backend design, account state changes are enforced only during authentication (login), not for already-established sessions. The system implicitly assumes that authenticated users remain trusted for the lifetime of their session. There is no session expiration or account expiration mechanism in place, causing deactivated accounts to retain indefinite access until the user manually logs out. This behavior breaks the intended access control policy and results in persistent unauthorized access, representing a critical security flaw. This issue has been patched in version 0.31.0.0. | |

| CVE-2026-33622 | Hig | 0.57 | 8.8 | 0.00 | Mar 26, 2026 | PinchTab is a standalone HTTP server that gives AI agents direct control over a Chrome browser. PinchTab `v0.8.3` through `v0.8.5` allow arbitrary JavaScript execution through `POST /wait` and `POST /tabs/{id}/wait` when the request uses `fn` mode, even if `security.allowEvaluate` is disabled. `POST /evaluate` correctly enforces the `security.allowEvaluate` guard, which is disabled by default. However, in the affected releases, `POST /wait` accepted a user-controlled `fn` expression, embedded it directly into executable JavaScript, and evaluated it in the browser context without checking the same policy. This is a security-policy bypass rather than a separate authentication bypass. Exploitation still requires authenticated API access, but a caller with the server token can execute arbitrary JavaScript in a tab context even when the operator explicitly disabled JavaScript evaluation. The current worktree fixes this by applying the same policy boundary to `fn` mode in `/wait` that already exists on `/evaluate`, while preserving the non-code wait modes. As of time of publication, a patched version is not yet available. | |
| CVE-2026-32768 | Cri | 0.57 | 9.9 | 0.00 | Mar 20, 2026 | Chall-Manager is a platform-agnostic system able to start Challenges on Demand of a player. In versions prior to 0.6.5, due to a miswritten NetworkPolicy, a malicious actor can pivot from an instance to any Pod out of the origin namespace. This breaks the security-by-default property expected as part of the deployment program, leading to a potential lateral movement. In the specific case of sdk/kubernetes.Kompose it does not isolate the instances. This issue has been fixed in version 0.6.5. | |
| CVE-2026-32769 | Cri | 0.57 | 9.8 | 0.00 | Mar 20, 2026 | Fullchain is an umbrella project for deploying a ready-to-use CTF platform. In versions prior to 0.1.1, due to a mis-written NetworkPolicy, a malicious actor can pivot from a subverted application to any Pod out of the origin namespace. The flawed inter-ns NetworkPolicy breaks the security-by-default property expected as part of the deployment program, leading to a potential lateral movement. This issue has been fixed in version 0.1.1. To workaround, delete the failing network policy that should be prefixed by inter-ns- in the target namespace. | |
| CVE-2026-0844 | Hig | 0.57 | 8.8 | 0.00 | Jan 28, 2026 | The Simple User Registration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in versions up to, and including, 6.7 due to insufficient restriction on the 'profile_save_field' function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with minimal permissions such as a subscriber, to modify their user role by supplying the 'wp_capabilities' parameter during a profile update. | |
| CVE-2025-61973 | Hig | 0.57 | 8.8 | 0.00 | Jan 15, 2026 | A local privilege escalation vulnerability exists during the installation of Epic Games Store via the Microsoft Store. A low-privilege user can replace a DLL file during the installation process, which may result in unintended elevation of privileges. | |
| CVE-2025-20341 | Hig | 0.57 | 8.8 | 0.00 | Nov 13, 2025 | A vulnerability in Cisco Catalyst Center Virtual Appliance could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to elevate privileges to Administrator on an affected system. This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by submitting a crafted HTTP request to an affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to perform unauthorized modifications to the system, including creating new user accounts or elevating their own privileges on an affected system. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid credentials for a user account with at least the role of Observer. | |
| CVE-2025-62159 | Hig | 0.57 | — | 0.00 | Oct 10, 2025 | External Secrets Operator reads information from a third-party service and automatically injects the values as Kubernetes Secrets. A vulnerability was discovered in the BeyondTrust provider implementation for External Secrets Operator versions 0.10.1 through 0.19.2. The provider previously retrieved Kubernetes secrets directly, without validating the namespace context or the type of secret store. This allowed unauthorized cross-namespace secret access, violating security boundaries and potentially exposing sensitive credentials. In version 0.20.0, the provider code was updated to use the `resolvers.SecretKeyRef` utility, which enforces namespace validation and only allows cross-namespace access for `ClusterSecretStore` types. This ensures secrets are only retrieved from the correct namespace, mitigating the risk of unauthorized access. All users should upgrade to the latest version containing this fix. As a workaround, use a policy engine such as Kyverno or OPA to prevent using BeyondTrust provider and/or validate the `(Cluster)SecretStore` and ensure the namespace may only be set when using a `ClusterSecretStore`. | |
| CVE-2025-10957 | Hig | 0.57 | — | 0.00 | Sep 25, 2025 | This vulnerability exists in the Syrotech SY-GPON-2010-WADONT router due to improper access control in its FTP service.
