Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-24 06:31 – Updated: 2026-03-24 06:31
VLAI
Details

The Product Filter for WooCommerce by WBW plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized data loss due to a missing capability check in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.2. This is due to the plugin's MVC framework dynamically registering unauthenticated AJAX handlers via wp_ajax_nopriv_ hooks without verifying user capabilities, combined with the base controller's __call() magic method forwarding undefined method calls to the model layer, and the havePermissions() method defaulting to true when no permissions are explicitly defined. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to truncate the plugin's wp_wpf_filters database table via a crafted AJAX request with action=delete, permanently destroying all filter configurations.

Summary
OpenClaw: Delivery queue recovery could lose group tool-policy context for media replay
Details

Summary

Delivery queue recovery could lose group tool-policy context for media replay.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw
  • Ecosystem: npm
  • Affected versions: >= 2026.4.10 < 2026.4.14
  • Patched versions: >= 2026.4.14

Impact

Recovered queued outbound media could be replayed without the original session context needed to enforce group tool policy, weakening channel media restrictions after restart/recovery.

Technical Details

The fix persists and replays the relevant session context with delivery queue entries so recovered media dispatch goes through the same policy checks.

Fix

The issue was fixed in #66025. The first stable tag containing the fix is v2026.4.14, and openclaw@2026.4.14 includes the fix.

Fix Commit(s)

  • 48aae82bbc19ba8b0741e61a08063eb0d1df464e
  • PR: #66025

Release Process Note

Users should upgrade to openclaw 2026.4.14 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-R7FG-3VPG-9RJH

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-12-13 18:30 – Updated: 2025-12-13 18:30
VLAI
Details

The Devs CRM – Manage tasks, attendance and teams all together plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the /wp-json/devs-crm/v1/attendances REST API Endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.8. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to retrieve private user data, including password hashes.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design
  • Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
  • Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].

Mitigation MIT-4.4
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks

  • Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
  • For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
Architecture and Design
  • For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
  • One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
System Configuration Installation

Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.

CAPEC-665: Exploitation of Thunderbolt Protection Flaws

An adversary leverages a firmware weakness within the Thunderbolt protocol, on a computing device to manipulate Thunderbolt controller firmware in order to exploit vulnerabilities in the implementation of authorization and verification schemes within Thunderbolt protection mechanisms. Upon gaining physical access to a target device, the adversary conducts high-level firmware manipulation of the victim Thunderbolt controller SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) flash, through the use of a SPI Programing device and an external Thunderbolt device, typically as the target device is booting up. If successful, this allows the adversary to modify memory, subvert authentication mechanisms, spoof identities and content, and extract data and memory from the target device. Currently 7 major vulnerabilities exist within Thunderbolt protocol with 9 attack vectors as noted in the Execution Flow.
