Summary
Concrete CMS has a session-hardening bypass and allows password change without reauthorization
Details

Concrete CMS 9.5.0 and below is vulnerable to password change without reauthorization and session-hardening bypass. The user-profile edit controller passes the entire raw POST array to UserInfo::update() without field whitelisting resulting in password change without requiring the current password  and also resulting in registered users able to disable the per-user-IP-pinning in the session validator which is meant to detect hijacking.

The Ecwid by Lightspeed Ecommerce Shopping Cart plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 7.0.7. This is due to a missing capability check in the 'save_custom_user_profile_fields' function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with minimal permissions such as a subscriber, to supply the 'ec_store_admin_access' parameter during a profile update and gain store manager access to the site.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-24 16:58 – Updated: 2024-04-04 02:26
VLAI
Details

CloudCTI HIP Integrator Recognition Configuration Tool allows privilege escalation via its EXQUISE integration. This tool communicates with a service (Recognition Update Client Service) via an insecure communication channel (Named Pipe). The data (JSON) sent via this channel is used to import data from CRM software using plugins (.dll files). The plugin to import data from the EXQUISE software (DatasourceExquiseExporter.dll) can be persuaded to start arbitrary programs (including batch files) that are executed using the same privileges as Recognition Update Client Service (NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM), thus elevating privileges. This occurs because a higher-privileged process executes scripts from a directory writable by a lower-privileged user.

GHSA-WPG9-4G4V-F9RC

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-03 21:32 – Updated: 2026-04-24 20:58
VLAI
Summary
OpenClaw: Discord voice transcript owner-flag omission could expose owner-only tools in mixed-trust channels
Details

Summary

In openclaw@2026.3.1, the Discord voice transcript path called agentCommand(...) without senderIsOwner, and agentCommand defaults missing senderIsOwner to true.

This could allow a non-owner voice participant in the same channel to reach owner-only tool surfaces (gateway, cron) during voice transcript turns.

Security model note

OpenClaw’s documented trust model is a personal assistant model (one trusted operator), not an adversarial multi-user boundary.

  • OpenClaw does not treat one shared gateway/chat surface as a hardened per-user auth boundary.
  • Mixed-trust deployments (mutually untrusted users sharing one gateway/channel) are outside recommended deployment boundaries.

This report is treated as a valid hardening/authorization bug because owner-only tool policy should still be applied consistently across chat-driven turns, including Discord voice transcript ingress.

Details

Relevant path: 1. Voice transcript run omitted senderIsOwner in Discord voice manager. 2. Missing senderIsOwner defaulted to true in agentCommand. 3. Owner-only tool policy is keyed on senderIsOwner. 4. gateway and cron are owner-only tools.

Impact

  • Affects deployments where Discord voice is enabled and the bot is present in channels with non-owner participants.
  • No gateway-auth boundary bypass was required.
  • Practical risk depends strongly on whether the deployment is single-trust (recommended) or mixed-trust (not recommended).

Severity rationale

Downgraded from high to medium to align with OpenClaw’s trust model and deployment assumptions: - Requires participation in the same voice environment as the trusted operator workflow. - Requires Discord voice path conditions (joined voice channel + transcript flow). - Does not introduce a new cross-gateway or unauthenticated boundary bypass.

Remediation

  • Always pass explicit senderIsOwner from Discord voice transcript ingress.
  • Fail closed (false) when owner status is unknown for non-local/chat ingress paths.
  • Keep regression tests that verify owner/non-owner voice speaker handling.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw (npm)
  • Affected versions: <= 2026.3.1
  • Patched versions: >= 2026.3.2 (released)

  "details": "### Summary\nIn `openclaw@2026.3.1`, the Discord voice transcript path called `agentCommand(...)` without `senderIsOwner`, and `agentCommand` defaults missing `senderIsOwner` to `true`.\n\nThis could allow a non-owner voice participant in the same channel to reach owner-only tool surfaces (`gateway`, `cron`) during voice transcript turns.\n\n### Security model note\nOpenClaw\u2019s documented trust model is a **personal assistant** model (one trusted operator), not an adversarial multi-user boundary.\n\n- OpenClaw does **not** treat one shared gateway/chat surface as a hardened per-user auth boundary.\n- Mixed-trust deployments (mutually untrusted users sharing one gateway/channel) are outside recommended deployment boundaries.\n\nThis report is treated as a valid hardening/authorization bug because owner-only tool policy should still be applied consistently across chat-driven turns, including Discord voice transcript ingress.\n\n### Details\nRelevant path:\n1. Voice transcript run omitted `senderIsOwner` in Discord voice manager.\n2. Missing `senderIsOwner` defaulted to `true` in `agentCommand`.\n3. Owner-only tool policy is keyed on `senderIsOwner`.\n4. `gateway` and `cron` are owner-only tools.\n\n### Impact\n- Affects deployments where Discord voice is enabled and the bot is present in channels with non-owner participants.\n- No gateway-auth boundary bypass was required.\n- Practical risk depends strongly on whether the deployment is single-trust (recommended) or mixed-trust (not recommended).\n\n### Severity rationale\nDowngraded from high to **medium** to align with OpenClaw\u2019s trust model and deployment assumptions:\n- Requires participation in the same voice environment as the trusted operator workflow.\n- Requires Discord voice path conditions (joined voice channel + transcript flow).\n- Does not introduce a new cross-gateway or unauthenticated boundary bypass.\n\n### Remediation\n- Always pass explicit `senderIsOwner` from Discord voice transcript ingress.\n- Fail closed (`false`) when owner status is unknown for non-local/chat ingress paths.\n- Keep regression tests that verify owner/non-owner voice speaker handling.\n\n\n### Affected Packages / Versions\n- Package: `openclaw` (npm)\n- Affected versions: `\u003c= 2026.3.1`\n- Patched versions: `\u003e= 2026.3.2` (released)",

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.
