|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2025-32037 | Low | 0.13 | 2.0 | 0.00 | Nov 11, 2025 | Improper access control for some Intel(R) PresentMon before version 2.3.1 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow a denial of service. Network adversary with a privileged user combined with a high complexity attack may enable denial of service. This result may potentially occur via adjacent access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (low) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts. | |
| CVE-2017-20199 | Low | 0.13 | 3.1 | 0.00 | Aug 16, 2025 | A vulnerability was found in Buttercup buttercup-browser-extension up to 0.14.2. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the component Vault Handler. The manipulation results in improper access controls. The attack may be performed from a remote location. A high complexity level is associated with this attack. The exploitation appears to be difficult. The exploit has been made public and could be used. Upgrading to version 1.0.1 addresses this issue. The patch is identified as 89. Upgrading the affected component is recommended. This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer. | |
| CVE-2025-43712 | Low | 0.12 | 2.9 | 0.00 | Jul 25, 2025 | JHipster before v.8.9.0 allows privilege escalation via a modified authorities parameter. Upon registering in the JHipster portal and logging in as a standard user, the authorities parameter in the response from the api/account endpoint contains the value ROLE_USER. By manipulating the authorities parameter and changing its value to ROLE_ADMIN, the privilege is successfully escalated to an Admin level. This allowed the access to all admin-related functionalities in the application. NOTE: this is disputed by the Supplier because there is no privilege escalation in the context of the JHipster backend (the report only demonstrates that, after using JHipster to generate an application, one can make a non-functional admin screen visible in the front end of that application). | |
| CVE-2026-33415 | Low | 0.11 | 2.7 | 0.00 | Mar 31, 2026 | Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. From versions 2026.1.0-latest to before 2026.1.3, 2026.2.0-latest to before 2026.2.2, and 2026.3.0-latest to before 2026.3.0, an authenticated moderator-level user could retrieve post content, topic titles, and usernames from categories they were not authorized to view. Insufficient access controls on a sentiment analytics endpoint allowed category permission boundaries to be bypassed. This issue has been patched in versions 2026.1.3, 2026.2.2, and 2026.3.0. | |
| CVE-2025-14082 | Low | 0.11 | 2.7 | 0.00 | Dec 10, 2025 | A flaw was found in Keycloak Admin REST (Representational State Transfer) API.

| CVE-2024-32969 | Low | 0.11 | 2.7 | 0.00 | May 23, 2024 | vantage6 is an open-source infrastructure for privacy preserving analysis. Collaboration administrators can add extra organizations to their collaboration that can extend their influence. For example, organizations that they include can then create new users for which they know the passwords, and use that to read task results of other collaborations that that organization is involved in. This is only relatively trusted users - with access to manage a collaboration - are able to do this, which reduces the impact. This vulnerability was patched in version 4.5.0rc3. | |
| CVE-2025-9381 | Low | 0.10 | 1.6 | 0.00 | Aug 24, 2025 | A security flaw has been discovered in FNKvision Y215 CCTV Camera 10.194.120.40. This affects an unknown part of the file /tmp/wpa_supplicant.conf. Performing manipulation results in information disclosure. The attack may be carried out on the physical device. The attack's complexity is rated as high. It is indicated that the exploitability is difficult. The exploit has been released to the public and may be exploited. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way. | |
