| CVE-2026-42876 | Med | 0.25 | 4.9 | 0.00 | May 11, 2026 | External Secrets Operator reads information from a third-party service and automatically injects the values as Kubernetes Secrets. Prior to 2.4.1, a user who only has permission to create ExternalSecret resources can cause the operator to create a Secret that Kubernetes will automatically populate with a long-lived token for the specified service account. This effectively allows the user to impersonate any service account in the namespace without needing direct create permissions on TokenRequest or Secrets of that type. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.4.1. | |

| CVE-2025-11244 | Low | 0.24 | 3.7 | 0.00 | Oct 25, 2025 | The Password Protected plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass via IP address spoofing in all versions up to, and including, 2.7.11. This is due to the plugin trusting client-controlled HTTP headers (such as X-Forwarded-For, HTTP_CLIENT_IP, and similar headers) to determine user IP addresses in the `pp_get_ip_address()` function when the "Use transients" feature is enabled. This makes it possible for attackers to bypass authorization by spoofing these headers with the IP address of a legitimately authenticated user, granted the "Use transients" option is enabled (non-default configuration) and the site is not behind a CDN or reverse proxy that overwrites these headers. | |
| CVE-2025-4654 | Low | 0.24 | 3.7 | 0.00 | Jul 2, 2025 | The Soumettre.fr plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access and modification of data due to a improper authorization checks on the make_signature function in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.5. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to create/edit/delete Soumettre posts.
