CWE-693
Protection Mechanism Failure
PillarDraft
Description
The product does not use or incorrectly uses a protection mechanism that provides sufficient defense against directed attacks against the product.
This weakness covers three distinct situations. A "missing" protection mechanism occurs when the application does not define any mechanism against a certain class of attack. An "insufficient" protection mechanism might provide some defenses - for example, against the most common attacks - but it does not protect against everything that is intended. Finally, an "ignored" mechanism occurs when a mechanism is available and in active use within the product, but the developer has not applied it in some code path.

| CVE-2024-0681 | Med | 0.35 | 5.3 | 0.01 | Mar 13, 2024 | The Page Restriction WordPress (WP) – Protect WP Pages/Post plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to information disclosure in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.4. This is due to the plugin not properly restricting access to pages via the REST API when a page has been made private. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to view protected pages. The vendor has decided that they will not implement REST API protection on posts and pages and the restrictions will only apply to the front-end of the site. The vendors solution was to add notices throughout the dashboard and recommends installing the WordPress REST API Authentication plugin for REST API coverage. | |
| CVE-2024-0680 | Med | 0.35 | 5.3 | 0.01 | Feb 28, 2024 | The WP Private Content Plus plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to information disclosure in all versions up to, and including, 3.6. This is due to the plugin not properly restricting access to posts via the REST API when a page has been made private. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to view protected posts. | |
| CVE-2023-0085 | Med | 0.35 | 5.3 | 0.01 | Mar 2, 2023 | The Metform Elementor Contact Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to reCaptcha Bypass in versions up to, and including, 3.2.1. This is due to insufficient server side checking on the captcha value submitted during a form submission.

| CVE-2026-8583 | Med | 0.34 | 5.3 | 0.00 | May 14, 2026 | Insufficient policy enforcement in WebXR in Google Chrome on Android prior to 148.0.7778.168 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to obtain potentially sensitive information from process memory via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium) | |
| CVE-2026-44003 | Med | 0.34 | 5.3 | 0.00 | May 13, 2026 | vm2 is an open source vm/sandbox for Node.js. Prior to 3.11.0, vm2's code transformer has a performance optimization that skips AST analysis when the code does not contain catch, import, or async keywords. This fast-path bypass allows sandboxed code to directly access the internal VM2_INTERNAL_STATE_DO_NOT_USE_OR_PROGRAM_WILL_FAIL variable, which exposes internal security functions (handleException, wrapWith, import). This vulnerability is fixed in 3.11.0. | |
| CVE-2026-41469 | Med | 0.34 | 5.2 | 0.00 | Apr 22, 2026 | Beghelli Sicuro24 SicuroWeb does not enforce a Content Security Policy, allowing unrestricted loading of external JavaScript resources from attacker-controlled origins. When chained with the template injection and sandbox escape vulnerabilities present in the same application, the absence of CSP removes the browser-enforced restriction that would otherwise block external script execution, enabling attackers to load arbitrary remote payloads into operator browser sessions. | |
| CVE-2026-22013 | Med | 0.34 | 5.3 | 0.00 | Apr 21, 2026 | Vulnerability in the Oracle Java SE, Oracle GraalVM for JDK, Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition product of Oracle Java SE (component: JGSS).

| CVE-2026-39421 | Med | 0.34 | 6.3 | 0.00 | Apr 14, 2026 | MaxKB is an open-source AI assistant for enterprise. Versions 2.7.1 and below contain a sandbox escape vulnerability in the ToolExecutor component. By leveraging Python's ctypes library to execute raw system calls, an authenticated attacker with workspace privileges can bypass the LD_PRELOAD-based sandbox.so module to achieve arbitrary code execution via direct kernel system calls, enabling full network exfiltration and container compromise. The library intercepts critical standard system functions such as execve, system, connect, and open. It also intercepts mprotect to prevent PROT_EXEC (executable memory) allocations within the sandboxed Python processes, but pkey_mprotect is not blocked. This issue has been fixed in version 2.8.0. | |
| CVE-2026-39420 | Med | 0.34 | 6.3 | 0.00 | Apr 14, 2026 | MaxKB is an open-source AI assistant for enterprise. In versions 2.7.1 and below, an incomplete sandbox protection mechanism allows an authenticated user with tool execution privileges to escape the LD_PRELOAD-based sandbox. By env command the attacker can clear the environment variables and drop the sandbox.so hook, leading to unrestricted Remote Code Execution (RCE) and network access. MaxKB restricts untrusted Python code execution via the Tool Debug API by injecting sandbox.so through the LD_PRELOAD environment variable. This intercepts sensitive C library functions (like execve, socket, open) to restrict network and file access. However, a patch allowed the /usr/bin/env utility to be executed by the sandboxed user. When an attacker is permitted to create subprocesses, they can execute the env -i python command. The -i flag instructs env to completely clear all environment variables before running the target program. This effectively drops the LD_PRELOAD environment variable. The newly spawned Python process will therefore execute natively without any sandbox hooks, bypassing all network and file system restrictions. This issue has been fixed in version 2.8.0. | |
| CVE-2026-3965 | Med | 0.34 | 6.3 | 0.00 | Mar 12, 2026 | A security vulnerability has been detected in whyour qinglong up to 2.20.1. Affected is an unknown function of the file back/loaders/express.ts of the component API Interface. The manipulation of the argument command leads to protection mechanism failure. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. Upgrading to version 2.20.2 is able to address this issue. The identifier of the patch is 6bec52dca158481258315ba0fc2f11206df7b719. It is advisable to upgrade the affected component. The code maintainer was informed beforehand about the issues. He reacted very fast and highly professional. | |
| CVE-2025-11260 | Med | 0.34 | 5.3 | 0.00 | Nov 13, 2025 | The WP Headless CMS Framework plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to protection mechanism bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.15. This is due to the plugin only checking for the existence of the Authorization header in a request when determining if the nonce protection should be bypassed. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to access content they should not have access to. | |
| CVE-2025-12094 | Med | 0.34 | 5.3 | 0.00 | Oct 31, 2025 | The OOPSpam Anti-Spam: Spam Protection for WordPress Forms & Comments (No CAPTCHA) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to IP Header Spoofing in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.53. This is due to the plugin trusting client-controlled forwarded headers (such as CF-Connecting-IP, X-Forwarded-For, and others) without verifying that those headers originate from legitimate, trusted proxies. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to spoof their IP address and bypass IP-based security controls, including blocked IP lists and rate limiting protections, by sending arbitrary HTTP headers with their requests. | |
| CVE-2024-0682 | Med | 0.34 | 5.3 | 0.01 | Feb 28, 2024 | The Page Restrict plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to information disclosure in all versions up to, and including, 2.5.5. This is due to the plugin not properly restricting access to posts via the REST API when a page has been made private. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to view protected posts. | |
| CVE-2026-8009 | Med | 0.33 | 5.0 | 0.00 | May 6, 2026 | Inappropriate implementation in Cast in Google Chrome prior to 148.0.7778.96 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to bypass navigation restrictions via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Low) | |
| CVE-2026-22692 | Med | 0.32 | 4.9 | 0.00 | Apr 14, 2026 | October is a Content Management System (CMS) and web platform. Versions prior to 3.7.13 and versions 4.0.0 through 4.1.4 contain a sandbox bypass vulnerability in the optional Twig safe mode feature (CMS_SAFE_MODE). Certain methods on the collect() helper were not properly restricted, allowing authenticated users with template editing permissions to bypass sandbox protections. Exploitation requires authenticated backend access with CMS template editing permissions and only affects installations with CMS_SAFE_MODE enabled (disabled by default). This issue has been fixed in versions 3.7.13 and 4.1.5. To workaround this issue, users can disable CMS_SAFE_MODE if untrusted template editing is not required, and restrict CMS template editing permissions to fully trusted administrators only. | |
| CVE-2025-52643 | Med | 0.31 | 4.7 | 0.00 | Mar 16, 2026 | HCL AION is affected by a vulnerability where untrusted file parsing operations are not executed within a properly isolated sandbox environment. This may expose the application to potential security risks, including unintended behaviour or integrity impact when processing specially crafted files. | |
| CVE-2024-33903 | Med | 0.31 | 5.9 | 0.00 | Apr 29, 2024 | In CARLA through 0.9.15.2, the collision sensor mishandles some situations involving pedestrians or bicycles, in part because the collision sensor function is not exposed to the Blueprint library. | |
| CVE-2022-32537 | Med | 0.31 | 4.8 | 0.00 | Dec 12, 2022 | A vulnerability exists which could allow an unauthorized user to learn aspects of the communication protocol used to pair system components while the pump is being paired with other system components.

| CVE-2026-7932 | Med | 0.29 | 4.4 | 0.00 | May 6, 2026 | Insufficient policy enforcement in Downloads in Google Chrome prior to 148.0.7778.96 allowed a local attacker to bypass navigation restrictions via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium) | |
| CVE-2026-40604 | Med | 0.29 | 4.4 | 0.00 | Apr 21, 2026 | ClearanceKit intercepts file-system access events on macOS and enforces per-process access policies. Prior to 5.0.6, the opfilter Endpoint Security system extension (bundle ID uk.craigbass.clearancekit.opfilter) can be suspended with SIGSTOP or kill -STOP, or killed with SIGKILL/SIGTERM, by any process running as root. While the extension is suspended, all AUTH Endpoint Security events time out and default to allow, silently disabling ClearanceKit's file-access policy enforcement for the duration of the suspension. This vulnerability is fixed in 5.0.6. |
