Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-07-11 09:34 – Updated: 2026-07-11 09:34The Genolve – AI image AI video generation plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the genolve_setOpt() function in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.5. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to update arbitrary WordPress options, including enabling user registration and setting the default role to administrator, resulting in privilege escalation.

GHSA-8C6P-V837-77F6
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-09-16 19:38 – Updated: 2024-11-19 16:25Impact
Harbor fails to validate the user permissions when updating tag immutability policies - API call:
PUT /projects/{project_name_or_id}/immutabletagrules/{immutable_rule_id}
By sending a request to update a tag immutability policy with an id that belongs to a project that the currently authenticated user doesn’t have access to, the attacker could modify tag immutability policies configured in other projects.
Patches
This and similar issues are fixed in Harbor v2.5.2 and later. Please upgrade as soon as possible.
Workarounds
There are no workarounds available.
For more information
If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in the Harbor GitHub repository

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.
No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
