Summary
Local Path Provisioner Vulnerable to HelperPod Template Injection
Details

Impact

A malicious user with permission to edit the local-path-config ConfigMap in the local-path-storage namespace can manipulate the helperPod.yaml template used by rancher/local-path-provisioner.

The helperPod.yaml template is loaded by the provisioner and used to create HelperPods during PVC provisioning and cleanup operations. However, the template is not sufficiently validated before use. Security-sensitive fields such as securityContext.privileged, hostPath volumes, and Linux capabilities can be injected into the template.

Example malicious HelperPod template:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: helper-pod
spec:
  containers:
  - name: helper-pod
    image: docker.io/kindest/local-path-helper:v20230510-486859a6
    imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
    securityContext:
      privileged: true
    volumeMounts:
    - name: host-root
      mountPath: /host
  volumes:
  - name: host-root
    hostPath:
      path: /
      type: Directory

When a PVC operation triggers HelperPod creation, the provisioner creates the HelperPod using the attacker-controlled template. This can result in a privileged pod running on the target node with the host root filesystem mounted.

This may allow the attacker to access sensitive host files, read ServiceAccount tokens from other pods on the same node, access other tenants' local-path volume data, or modify files on the host node.

Expected Behavior:

  • The HelperPod template should not allow privileged containers.
  • The HelperPod template should not allow arbitrary hostPath mounts.
  • Security-sensitive fields in helperPod.yaml should be validated or rejected before the provisioner creates HelperPods.

Patches

This vulnerability is addressed by validating the HelperPod template loaded from the local-path-config ConfigMap before it is used to create HelperPods.

The fix ensures that unsafe fields such as privileged security contexts, hostPath volumes, and other dangerous pod security settings are rejected. This prevents an attacker with ConfigMap edit permission from injecting a malicious HelperPod template that grants access to the host node.

Previously, a malicious user could modify helperPod.yaml to cause the provisioner to create a privileged HelperPod with the host root filesystem mounted, potentially leading to node-level compromise and ServiceAccount token theft.

With this fix, HelperPod templates containing unsafe security-sensitive fields are denied, and only safe HelperPod configurations are accepted.

Patched versions of local-path-provisioner include releases v0.0.34 and later.

No patches are provided for earlier releases, as they do not include the necessary HelperPod template validation logic.

Workarounds

Users should upgrade to a patched version of local-path-provisioner to fully mitigate this vulnerability.

As a temporary mitigation, users can restrict write access to the local-path-config ConfigMap in the local-path-storage namespace. Only trusted administrators should be allowed to update this ConfigMap.

Users may also mark the ConfigMap as immutable after deployment:

kubectl -n local-path-storage patch configmap local-path-config \
  --type merge -p '{"immutable": true}'

Additionally, enabling Kubernetes Pod Security Admission for the local-path-storage namespace can provide defense in depth. For example, enforcing the baseline policy can prevent privileged HelperPods from being created even if the template is modified:

kubectl label namespace local-path-storage \
  pod-security.kubernetes.io/enforce=baseline \
  pod-security.kubernetes.io/warn=restricted

These mitigations reduce the risk of exploitation, but upgrading to a patched release is required to fully address the issue.

Summary
OpenClaw: Agent hook events could enqueue trusted system events from unsanitized external input
Details

Summary

Agent hook events could enqueue trusted system events from unsanitized external input.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw
  • Ecosystem: npm
  • Affected versions: < 2026.4.10
  • Patched versions: >= 2026.4.10

Impact

Agent hook dispatch could turn externally supplied hook metadata into trusted system events, allowing untrusted input to enter the agent as higher-trust context.

Technical Details

The fix sanitizes hook names and marks agent hook system events as untrusted before enqueueing them.

Fix

The issue was fixed in #64372. The first stable tag containing the fix is v2026.4.10, and openclaw@2026.4.14 includes the fix.

Fix Commit(s)

  • e3a845bde5b54f4f1e742d0a51ba9860f9619b29
  • PR: #64372

Release Process Note

Users should upgrade to openclaw 2026.4.10 or newer. The latest npm release, 2026.4.14, already includes the fix.

Credits

Thanks to @zsxsoft, with sponsorship from @KeenSecurityLab and @qclawer for reporting this issue.

GHSA-7GGH-XQ48-M73M

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-02-08 03:30 – Updated: 2026-02-08 03:30
VLAI
Details

The JAY Login & Register plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.03. This is due to the plugin allowing a user to update arbitrary user meta through the 'jay_panel_ajax_update_profile' function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to elevate their privileges to that of an administrator.

Details

Integer signedness error in the MSM V4L2 video driver for the Linux kernel 3.x, as used in Qualcomm Innovation Center (QuIC) Android contributions for MSM devices and other products, allows attackers to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (array overflow and memory corruption) via a crafted application that triggers an msm_isp_axi_create_stream call.

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.
