CVE-2017-2689Hig0.578.80.01Mar 29, 2017Siemens RUGGEDCOM ROX I (all versions) allow an authenticated user to bypass access restrictions in the web interface at port 10000/TCP to obtain privileged file system access or change configuration settings.
CVE-2016-9217Hig0.578.80.01Dec 26, 2016A vulnerability in Cisco Intercloud Fabric for Business and Cisco Intercloud Fabric for Providers could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to connect to the database used by these products. More Information: CSCus99394. Known Affected Releases: 7.3(0)ZN(0.99).
CVE-2016-1711Hig0.578.80.02Jul 23, 2016WebKit/Source/core/loader/FrameLoader.cpp in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 52.0.2743.82, does not disable frame navigation during a detach operation on a DocumentLoader object, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via a crafted web site.
CVE-2016-1710Hig0.578.80.01Jul 23, 2016The ChromeClientImpl::createWindow method in WebKit/Source/web/ChromeClientImpl.cpp in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 52.0.2743.82, does not prevent window creation by a deferred frame, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via a crafted web site.
CVE-2025-29922Cri0.559.60.00Mar 20, 2025kcp is a Kubernetes-like control plane for form-factors and use-cases beyond Kubernetes and container workloads. Prior to 0.26.3, the identified vulnerability allows creating or deleting an object via the APIExport VirtualWorkspace in any arbitrary target workspace for pre-existing resources. By design, this should only be allowed when the workspace owner decides to give access to an API provider by creating an APIBinding. With this vulnerability, it is possible for an attacker to create and delete objects even if none of these requirements are satisfied, i.e. even if there is no APIBinding in that workspace at all or the workspace owner has created an APIBinding, but rejected a permission claim. A fix for this issue has been identified and has been published with kcp 0.26.3 and 0.27.0.
CVE-2025-3014Hig0.54—0.00Mar 31, 2025Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR) in access control in Tracking 2.1.4 on NightWolf Penetration Testing allows an attacker to access via manipulating request parameters or object references.
CVE-2025-3013Hig0.54—0.00Mar 31, 2025Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR) in access control in Customer Portal before 2.1.4 on NightWolf Penetration Testing allows an attacker to access via manipulating request parameters or object references.
CVE-2026-43983Hig0.538.10.00May 12, 2026Pocket ID is an OIDC provider that allows users to authenticate with their passkeys to your services. Prior to 2.6.0, The createTokenFromRefreshToken function (oidc_service.go) validates the refresh token's cryptographic integrity but does not re-validate the user's current authorization state before issuing new tokens. This allows (1) the client to refresh the token indefinitely after authorization revocation, (2) the refresh token to continue to work after the account is disabled, and (3) the token to work after the client is removed from the group. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.6.0.
CVE-2026-40259Hig0.538.10.00Apr 16, 2026SiYuan is an open-source personal knowledge management system. In versions 3.6.3 and below, the /api/av/removeUnusedAttributeView endpoint is protected only by generic authentication that accepts publish-service RoleReader tokens. The handler passes a caller-controlled id directly to a model function that unconditionally deletes the corresponding attribute view file from the workspace without verifying that the caller has write privileges or that the target attribute view is actually unused. An authenticated publish-service reader can permanently delete arbitrary attribute view definitions by extracting publicly exposed data-av-id values from published content, causing breakage of database views and workspace rendering until manually restored. This issue has been fixed in version 3.6.4.
CVE-2025-11521Hig0.538.10.00Nov 11, 2025The Astra Security Suite – Firewall & Malware Scan plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to insufficient validation of remote URLs for zip downloads and an easily guessable key in all versions up to, and including, 0.2. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.
CVE-2025-61928Cri0.53—0.00Oct 9, 2025Better Auth is an authentication and authorization library for TypeScript. In versions prior to 1.3.26, unauthenticated attackers can create or modify API keys for any user by passing that user's id in the request body to the `api/auth/api-key/create` route. `session?.user ?? (authRequired ? null : { id: ctx.body.userId })`. When no session exists but `userId` is present in the request body, `authRequired` becomes false and the user object is set to the attacker-controlled ID. Server-only field validation only executes when `authRequired` is true (lines 280-295), allowing attackers to set privileged fields. No additional authentication occurs before the database operation, so the malicious payload is accepted. The same pattern exists in the update endpoint. This is a critical authentication bypass enabling full an unauthenticated attacker can generate an API key for any user and immediately gain complete authenticated access. This allows the attacker to perform any action as the victim user using the api key, potentially compromise the user data and the application depending on the victim's privileges. Version 1.3.26 contains a patch for the issue.
CVE-2025-49594Cri0.53—0.00Oct 6, 2025XWiki OIDC has various tools to manipulate OpenID Connect protocol in XWiki. Starting in version 2.17.1 and prior to version 2.18.2, anyone with VIEW access to a user profile can create a token for that user. If that XWiki instance is configured to allow token authentication, it allows authentication with any user (since users are very commonly viewable, at least to other registered users). Version 2.18.2 contains a patch. As a workaround, disable token access.
CVE-2025-3921Hig0.538.20.00May 7, 2025The PeproDev Ultimate Profile Solutions plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the handel_ajax_req() function in versions 1.9.1 to 7.5.2. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update arbitrary user's metadata which can be leveraged to block an administrator from accessing their site when wp_capabilities is set to 0.
CVE-2025-27509Cri0.53—0.00Mar 6, 2025fleetdm/fleet is an open source device management, built on osquery. In vulnerable versions of Fleet, an attacker could craft a specially-formed SAML response to forge authentication assertions, provision a new administrative user account if Just-In-Time (JIT) provisioning is enabled, or create new accounts tied to forged assertions if f MDM enrollment is enabled. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.64.2, 4.63.2, 4.62.4, and 4.58.1.
CVE-2024-52528Cri0.53—0.00Nov 15, 2024Budget Control Gateway acts as an entry point for incoming requests and routes them to the appropriate microservices for Budget Control. Budget Control Gateway does not properly validate auth tokens, which allows attackers to bypass intended restrictions. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.5.2.
CVE-2022-0993Hig0.538.10.03Apr 19, 2022The SiteGround Security plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass that allows unauthenticated users to log in as administrative users due to missing identity verification on the 2FA back-up code implementation that logs users in upon success. This affects versions up to, and including, 1.2.5.
CVE-2016-7143Hig0.538.10.01Sep 21, 2016The m_authenticate function in modules/m_sasl.c in Charybdis before 3.5.3 allows remote attackers to spoof certificate fingerprints and consequently log in as another user via a crafted AUTHENTICATE parameter.
CVE-2026-27912Hig0.528.00.01Apr 14, 2026Improper authorization in Windows Kerberos allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges over an adjacent network.
CVE-2026-4248Hig0.528.00.00Mar 27, 2026The Ultimate Member plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 2.11.2. This is due to the '{usermeta:password_reset_link}' template tag being processed within post content via the '[um_loggedin]' shortcode, which generates a valid password reset token for the currently logged-in user viewing the page. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to craft a malicious pending post that, when previewed by an Administrator, generates a password reset token for the Administrator and exfiltrates it to an attacker-controlled server, leading to full account takeover.
CVE-2024-0077Hig0.517.80.00Mar 27, 2024NVIDIA Virtual GPU Manager contains a vulnerability in the vGPU plugin, where it allows a guest OS to allocate resources for which the guest OS is not authorized. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to code execution, denial of service, escalation of privileges, information disclosure, and data tampering.
