CVE-2023-2546Hig0.578.80.02Jun 6, 2023The WP User Switch plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in versions up to, and including, 1.0.2. This is due to incorrect authentication checking in the 'wpus_allow_user_to_admin_bar_menu' function with the 'wpus_who_switch' cookie value. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level permissions and above, to log in as any existing user on the site, such as an administrator, if they have access to the username.
CVE-2025-34251Hig0.56—0.00Oct 7, 2025Tesla Telematics Control Unit (TCU) firmware prior to v2025.14 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability. The TCU runs the Android Debug Bridge (adbd) as root and, despite a “lockdown” check that disables adb shell, still permits adb push/pull and adb forward. Because adbd is privileged and the device’s USB port is exposed externally, an attacker with physical access can write an arbitrary file to a writable location and then overwrite the kernel’s uevent_helper or /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug entries via ADB, causing the script to be executed with root privileges.
CVE-2025-61673Hig0.568.60.00Oct 3, 2025Karapace is an open-source implementation of Kafka REST and Schema Registry. Versions 5.0.0 and 5.0.1 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability when configured to use OAuth 2.0 Bearer Token authentication. If a request is sent without an Authorization header, the token validation logic is skipped entirely, allowing an unauthenticated user to read and write to Schema Registry endpoints that should otherwise be protected. This effectively renders the OAuth authentication mechanism ineffective. This issue is fixed in version 5.0.2.
CVE-2025-10653Hig0.568.60.00Oct 2, 2025An unauthenticated debug port may allow access to the device file system.
CVE-2026-2540Hig0.55—0.00Feb 15, 2026The Micca KE700 system contains flawed resynchronization logic and is vulnerable to replay attacks. This attack requires sending two previously captured codes in a specific sequence. As a result, the system can be forced to accept previously used (stale) rolling codes and execute a command. Successful exploitation allows an attacker to clone the alarm key. This grants the attacker unauthorized access to the vehicle to unlock or lock the doors.
CVE-2024-10490Hig0.55—0.00Dec 2, 2024An “Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel” vulnerability in the OPC UA Server configuration required for B&R mapp Cockpit before 6.0, B&R mapp View before 6.0, B&R mapp Services before 6.0, B&R mapp Motion before 6.0 and B&R mapp Vision before 6.0 may be used by an unauthenticated network-based attacker to cause information disclosure, unintended change of data, or denial of service conditions. B&R mapp Services is only affected, when mpUserX or mpCodeBox are used in the Automation Studio project.
CVE-2025-40743Hig0.548.30.00Aug 12, 2025A vulnerability has been identified in SINUMERIK 828D PPU.4 (All versions < V4.95 SP5), SINUMERIK 828D PPU.5 (All versions < V5.25 SP1), SINUMERIK 840D sl (All versions < V4.95 SP5), SINUMERIK MC (All versions < V1.25 SP1), SINUMERIK MC V1.15 (All versions < V1.15 SP5), SINUMERIK ONE (All versions < V6.25 SP1), SINUMERIK ONE V6.15 (All versions < V6.15 SP5). The affected application improperly validates authentication for its VNC access service, allowing access with insufficient password verification. This could allow an attacker to gain unauthorized remote access and potentially compromise system confidentiality, integrity, or availability.
CVE-2025-7742Hig0.54—0.00Jul 25, 2025An authentication vulnerability exists in the LG Innotek camera model LNV5110R firmware that allows a malicious actor to upload an HTTP POST request to the devices non-volatile storage. This action may result in remote code execution that allows an attacker to run arbitrary commands on the target device at the administrator privilege level.
CVE-2026-44574Hig0.538.10.00May 13, 2026Next.js is a React framework for building full-stack web applications. From 15.4.0 to before 15.5.16 and 16.2.5, applications that rely on middleware to protect dynamic routes can be vulnerable to authorization bypass. In affected deployments, specially crafted query parameters can alter the dynamic route value seen by the page while leaving the visible path unchanged, which can allow protected content to be rendered without passing the expected middleware check. This vulnerability is fixed in 15.5.16 and 16.2.5.
CVE-2026-42300Cri0.53—0.00May 12, 2026DevGuard provides vulnerability management for the full software supply chain. Prior to 1.2.2, the SessionMiddleware accepts a client-supplied X-Admin-Token HTTP request header and uses its raw string value as the authenticated userID when no Kratos session cookie is present. An unauthenticated attacker who knows or can guess a target user's Kratos identity UUID can issue requests as that user. Where the target user is an organisation admin or owner, this gives the attacker full control over that organisation's DevGuard resources. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.2.2.
CVE-2026-41059Hig0.538.20.00Apr 22, 2026OAuth2 Proxy is a reverse proxy that provides authentication using OAuth2 providers. Versions 7.5.0 through 7.15.1 have a configuration-dependent authentication bypass. Deployments are affected when all of the following are true: Use of `skip_auth_routes` or the legacy `skip_auth_regex`; use of patterns that can be widened by attacker-controlled suffixes, such as `^/foo/.*/bar$` causing potential exposure of `/foo/secret`; and protected upstream applications that interpret `#` as a fragment delimiter or otherwise route the request to the protected base path. In deployments that rely on these settings, an unauthenticated attacker can send a crafted request containing a number sign in the path, including the browser-safe encoded form `%23`, so that OAuth2 Proxy matches a public allowlist rule while the backend serves a protected resource. Deployments that do not use these skip-auth options, or that only allow exact public paths with tightly scoped method and path rules, are not affected. A fix has been implemented in version 7.15.2 to normalize request paths more conservatively before skip-auth matching so fragment content does not influence allowlist decisions. Users who cannot upgrade immediately can reduce exposure by tightening or removing `skip_auth_routes` and `skip_auth_regex` rules, especially patterns that use broad wildcards across path segments. Recommended mitigations include replacing broad rules with exact, anchored public paths and explicit HTTP methods; rejecting requests whose path contains `%23` or `#` at the ingress, load balancer, or WAF level; and/or avoiding placing sensitive application paths behind broad `skip_auth_routes` rules.
CVE-2026-3605Hig0.538.10.00Apr 17, 2026An authenticated user with access to a kvv2 path through a policy containing a glob may be able to delete secrets they were not authorized to read or write, resulting in denial-of-service. This vulnerability did not allow a malicious user to delete secrets across namespaces, nor read any secret data. Fxed in Vault Community Edition 2.0.0 and Vault Enterprise 2.0.0, 1.21.5, 1.20.10, and 1.19.16.
CVE-2026-3324Hig0.538.20.00Apr 16, 2026Zohocorp ManageEngine Log360 versions 13000 through 13013 are vulnerable to authentication bypass on certain actions due to improper filter configuration.
