GHSA-VGJG-248P-RFM2
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-24 17:27 – Updated: 2026-03-25 21:00Summary
A low-privileged authenticated user can call assets/image-editor with the ID of a private asset they cannot view and still receive editor response data, including focalPoint.
The endpoint returns private editing metadata without per-asset authorization validation.
Root-cause analysis:
actionImageEditor()acceptsassetIdfrom the request body.- The asset is loaded, and the focal-point data is read.
- Response returns
htmlandfocalPoint. - No explicit authorization check is applied before the response.
Impact
Affected deployments:
- Craft sites where asset edit metadata should remain restricted to authorized users.
Security consequence:
- Unauthorized users can extract private editor metadata and related editor context for inaccessible assets.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-07-11 06:31 – Updated: 2026-07-11 06:31The SurfLink - Ultimate Link Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized data modification due to a missing capability check on the ajax_import_410() function in all versions up to 2.6.0. This is due to a missing capability check (current_user_can()) and missing nonce verification (check_ajax_referer()) in the ajax_import_410() function, while all other AJAX handlers in the same class (ajax_add_single_410, ajax_save_editted_410, ajax_delete_410, ajax_bulk_410_delete, ajax_empty_410, ajax_export_410) properly implement both authorization and nonce checks. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to import arbitrary URLs into the 410 Gone database table via the surfl_import_410 AJAX action. Injected URLs will cause the site to return HTTP 410 Gone responses to all visitors accessing those paths, potentially causing denial of service for legitimate pages and SEO damage through search engine delisting.

Mitigation
- 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
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
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
- 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
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.
