| CVE-2024-3564 | Hig | 0.57 | 8.8 | 0.01 | Jun 1, 2024 | The Content Blocks (Custom Post Widget) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.0 via the plugin's 'content_block' shortcode. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where images and other “safe” file types can be uploaded and included. | |
| CVE-2023-5099 | Hig | 0.57 | 8.8 | 0.00 | Oct 31, 2023 | The HTML filter and csv-file search plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in versions up to, and including, 2.7 via the 'src' attribute of the 'csvsearch' shortcode. This allows authenticated attackers, with contributor-level permissions and above, to include and execute arbitrary files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where images and other “safe” file types can be uploaded and included. | |
| CVE-2024-10526 | Hig | 0.56 | — | 0.00 | Nov 7, 2024 | Rapid7 Velociraptor MSI Installer versions below 0.73.3 suffer from a vulnerability whereby it creates the installation directory with WRITE_DACL permission to the BUILTIN\\Users group. This allows local users who are not administrators to grant themselves the Full Control permission on Velociraptor's files. By modifying Velociraptor's files, local users can subvert the binary and cause the Velociraptor service to execute arbitrary code as the SYSTEM user, or to replace the Velociraptor binary completely. This issue is fixed in version 0.73.3. | |

| CVE-2025-7389 | Hig | 0.53 | — | 0.00 | Apr 14, 2026 | A vulnerability in the AdminServer component of OpenEdge on all supported platforms grants its authenticated users OS-level access to the server through the adopted authority of the AdminServer process itself. The delegated authority of the AdminServer could allow its users the ability to read arbitrary files on the host system through the misuse of the setFile() and openFile() methods exposed through the RMI interface. Misuse was limited only by OS-level authority of the AdminServer's elevated privileges granted and the user's access to these methods enabled through RMI. The exploitable methods have been removed thus eliminating their access through RMI or downstream of the RMI registry. | |
