GHSA-HXH3-G6P5-HHM6
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-01-10 09:30 – Updated: 2026-01-10 09:30The Blog2Social: Social Media Auto Post & Scheduler plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 8.7.2. This is due to a misconfigured authorization check on the 'getShipItemFullText' function which only verifies that a user has the 'read' capability (Subscriber-level) and a valid nonce, but fails to verify whether the user has permission to access the specific post being requested. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to extract data from password-protected, private, or draft posts.

GHSA-HXV8-4J4R-CQGV
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-26 16:48 – Updated: 2026-03-27 21:28Impact
Ingress Network Policies are not enforced for traffic from pods to L7 Services (Envoy, GAMMA) with a local backend on the same node, when Per-Endpoint Routing is enabled and BPF Host Routing is disabled.
Per-Endpoint Routing is disabled by default, but is automatically enabled in deployments using cloud IPAM, including Cilium ENI on EKS (eni.enabled), AlibabaCloud ENI (alibabacloud.enabled), Azure IPAM (azure.enabled, but not AKS BYOCNI), and some GKE deployments (gke.enabled; managed offerings such as GKE Dataplane V2 may use different defaults). It is typically not enabled in tunneled deployments, and chaining deployments are not affected. In practice, Amazon EKS with Cilium ENI mode is likely the most common affected environment.
Patches
This issue was fixed by #44693.
This issue affects:
- Cilium v1.19 between v1.19.0 and v1.19.1 inclusive
- Cilium v1.18 between v1.18.0 and v1.18.7 inclusive
- All versions of Cilium prior to v1.17.13
This issue is fixed in:
- Cilium v1.19.2
- Cilium v1.18.8
- Cilium v1.17.14
Workarounds
Disclaimer: There is currently no officially verified or comprehensive workaround for this issue. The only option would be to disable per-endpoint routes, but this will likely cause disruptions to ongoing connections, and potential conflicts if running in cloud providers.
Acknowledgements
The Cilium community has worked together with members of the Northflank and Isovalent teams to prepare these mitigations. Cilium thanks @sudeephb and @Champ-Goblem for reporting the issue and to @smagnani96 and @julianwiedmann for helping with the resolution.
For more information
Anyone who believes a vulnerability affecting Cilium has been found is strongly encouraged to report it to the security mailing list at security@cilium.io. This is a private mailing list for the Cilium security team, and any such report will be treated as top priority. Please also address any comments or questions on this advisory to the same mailing list.

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.
