Title
Semaphore UI: Manager-to-owner privilege escalation via custom-role slug collision
Summary
Semaphore UI is a web interface for managing DevOps tools. Prior to 2.18.19 and from 2.19.0-alpha3 until 2.19.5-beta5, ProjectMiddleware and GetProjectOrGlobalRoleBySlug allow a project manager to use POST /api/project/{id}/roles to create a custom manager role with permission bitmask 15, overriding the built-in manager permissions and granting CanUpdateProject and CanManageProjectUsers owner capabilities. This issue is fixed in versions 2.18.19 and 2.19.5-beta5.

Title
RustFS: AddServiceAccount Handler Allows Creation of Root-Parent Service Accounts
Summary
RustFS is a distributed object storage system built in Rust. RustFS AddServiceAccount in rustfs/src/admin/handlers/service_account.rs accepts an attacker-controlled target_user after only checking CreateServiceAccountAdminAction, passes it to new_service_account, and prepare_service_account_auth sets is_owner for the resulting root-parent service account. This issue is fixed in version 1.0.0-beta.11.

CVE-2026-73269 (GCVE-0-2026-73269)

Title
Cluster-curator-controller: cluster-curator-controller: tenant-controllable trigger creates clusterrolebinding granting cluster-wide secrets access to namespace-local sa
Summary
A flaw was found in the cluster-curator-controller component. A local user, by creating a ClusterCurator resource with a specific naming convention, can trigger the creation of a cluster-scoped ClusterRoleBinding. This allows the user to escalate their privileges from namespace-local access to cluster-wide control. This privilege escalation grants broad permissions, including the ability to access and manipulate secrets, manage cluster actions, and delete hosted clusters or node pools.

CVE-2026-73218 (GCVE-0-2026-73218)

Title
Cursor: Sandbox escape via launching privileged containers
Summary
Cursor is a code editor built for programming with AI. Prior to 3.0.0, Cursor IDE for macOS allows an agent running in Auto-Run Sandbox mode, when Docker Desktop and the Dev Containers CLI are installed, to launch a privileged container and mount Docker's virtiofs0, granting read and write access to the user's home directory and enabling host command execution with the user's privileges without an additional permission prompt. This issue is fixed in version 3.0.0.

CVE-2026-73122 (GCVE-0-2026-73122)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-08-12 01:10 – Updated: 2026-08-12 16:57

Title
Multicloud-operators-channel: multicloud-operators-channel: auto-generated role grants every managed-cluster agent secrets:get,list,watch in channel namespaces
Summary
A flaw was found in the multicloud-operators-channel component of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (RHACM). This vulnerability allows a compromised agent from a managed cluster to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information. Specifically, the agent can read all Secrets and ConfigMaps within any Channel namespace on the hub, potentially exposing credentials for other tenants' Git and Helm repositories. This could lead to significant information disclosure.

CVE-2026-72886 (GCVE-0-2026-72886)

Title
Dokploy: Non-admin member gains root on the host by bypassing the owner/admin check on server-level schedules (incomplete fix of CVE-2026-45632)
Summary
Dokploy is a free, self-hostable Platform as a Service (PaaS). From 0.29.2 until 0.29.13, schedule.create and schedule.update in apps/dokploy/server/api/routers/schedule.ts derive serviceId from applicationId or composeId and execute the owner/admin host-schedule gate only in the alternative branch, allowing a member with access to one application to attach its applicationId to a dokploy-server schedule and run a supplied script as root through schedule.runManually. This issue is fixed in version 0.29.13.

CVE-2026-72863 (GCVE-0-2026-72863)

Title
Dokploy: Missing authorization in WebSocket handlers allows a low-privilege member to gain root on the Docker host
Summary
Dokploy is a free, self-hostable Platform as a Service (PaaS). Prior to 0.29.13, Dokploy's WebSocket handlers (in-app terminals and log streamers) authenticate the session but never authorize it. They establish who the user is via validateRequest() and then proceed without consulting the role/permission model that every tRPC procedure enforces. Any authenticated member, can therefore open an interactive shell into any container on the host, including the dokploy container that mounts the Docker socket, and from there obtain root on the host, escaping the application and crossing every tenant boundary. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.29.13.

Title
Authentik Security authentik - Privilege Escalation
Summary
A privilege escalation vulnerability in Authentik Security authentik through 2026.5.6 allows an attacker with a source-scoped SCIM provisioning token to take over any user account including superusers by provisioning a SCIM user that matches an existing local user by username. The SCIM user ingest function adopts pre-existing local accounts by username without validating scope boundaries. An attacker can rewrite or delete any account, including the superuser, using only a limited provisioning credential.

CVE-2026-72534 (GCVE-0-2026-72534)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-08-11 11:06 – Updated: 2026-08-11 15:07
VLAI
Title
Authentik Security authentik - Privilege Escalation
Summary
A privilege escalation vulnerability in Authentik Security authentik through 2026.5.6 allows an attacker with a source-scoped SCIM provisioning token to gain superuser privileges by provisioning a SCIM group that matches an existing administrator group by name. The SCIM group ingest function adopts any existing group by name and replaces its membership without validating the source scope against the target group. An attacker can grant their provisioning token full IdP superuser access and lock out all existing administrators.

Mitigation MIT-1
Architecture and Design Operation

Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.

Mitigation MIT-48
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Separation of Privilege

Follow the principle of least privilege when assigning access rights to entities in a software system.

Mitigation MIT-49
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Separation of Privilege

Consider following the principle of separation of privilege. Require multiple conditions to be met before permitting access to a system resource.

CAPEC-122: Privilege Abuse

An adversary is able to exploit features of the target that should be reserved for privileged users or administrators but are exposed to use by lower or non-privileged accounts. Access to sensitive information and functionality must be controlled to ensure that only authorized users are able to access these resources.

CAPEC-233: Privilege Escalation

An adversary exploits a weakness enabling them to elevate their privilege and perform an action that they are not supposed to be authorized to perform.

CAPEC-58: Restful Privilege Elevation

An adversary identifies a Rest HTTP (Get, Put, Delete) style permission method allowing them to perform various malicious actions upon server data due to lack of access control mechanisms implemented within the application service accepting HTTP messages.
