Title
NovumOS has Arbitrary Memory Mapping via Syscall 15 (MemoryMapRange)
Summary
NovumOS is a custom 32-bit operating system written in Zig and x86 Assembly. In versions prior to 0.24, Syscall 15 (MemoryMapRange) allows Ring 3 user-mode processes to map arbitrary virtual address ranges into their address space without validating against forbidden regions, including critical kernel structures such as the IDT, GDT, TSS, and page tables. A local attacker can exploit this to modify kernel interrupt handlers, resulting in privilege escalation from user mode to kernel context. This issue has been fixed in version 0.24.

Title
bubblewrap vulnerable to privilege escalation in setuid mode via ptrace
Summary
bubblewrap is a low-level unprivileged sandboxing tool. From version 0.11.0 to before version 0.11.2, if bubblewrap is installed in setuid mode then the user can use ptrace to attach to bubblewrap and control the unprivileged part of the sandbox setup phase. This allows the attacker to arbitrarily use the privileged operations, and in particular the "overlay mount" operation, allowing the creation of overlay mounts which is otherwise not allowed in the setuid version of bubblewrap. This issue has been patched in version 0.11.2.

Title
OpenClaw < 2026.3.28 - Privilege Escalation via operator.write to Admin-Class Telegram Config and Cron Persistence
Summary
OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability allowing authenticated operators with write permissions to access admin-class Telegram configuration and cron persistence settings via the send endpoint. Attackers with operator.write credentials can exploit insufficient access controls to reach sensitive administrative functionality and modify persistence mechanisms.

Title
Pi-hole: Local privilege escalation via config-controlled path in root-executed service hooks
Summary
Pi-hole is a DNS sinkhole that protects devices from unwanted content without installing any client-side software. From 6.0 to before Core 6.4.2 and FTL 6.6.1, two shell scripts executed as root by systemd (pihole-FTL-prestart.sh and pihole-FTL-poststop.sh) read the files.pid path from this config without validation and use it in privileged file operations (install and rm -f). By writing an arbitrary path into files.pid, an attacker with pihole privilege can cause root to delete and then recreate any file on the system outside the ProtectSystem=full-restricted directories, gaining write access to it. On a default Pi-hole installation this yields local privilege escalation to root via SSH authorized keys manipulation. If /root/.ssh/authorized_keys does not exist (default on fresh installs), only ExecStartPre is required. If the file exists, ExecStopPost deletes it first, and the same restart triggers both hooks in sequence. This vulnerability is fixed in Core 6.4.2 and FTL 6.6.1.

Title
People: Privilege Escalation via Missing Role Ceiling in Mail Domain Invitation
Summary
People is an application to handle users and teams, and distribute permissions across La Suite. Prior to version 1.25.0, a user holding the Administrator role on a mail domain could send a crafted invitation request to promote any existing user (including users with no current domain access) to the Owner role. The exploit requires a single authenticated HTTP request and grants full domain ownership immediately, without any acceptance step from the target. This issue has been patched in version 1.25.0.

ChurchCRM: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) Leading to Admin Privilege Escalation
Summary
ChurchCRM is an open-source church management system. Prior to 7.3.2, UserEditor.php processes user account creation and permission updates entirely through $_POST parameters with no CSRF token validation. An unauthenticated attacker can craft a malicious HTML page that, when visited by an authenticated administrator, silently elevates any low-privilege user to full administrator or creates a new admin backdoor account without the victim's knowledge This vulnerability is fixed in 7.3.2.

Plainpad: Privilege Escalation via Writable Admin Field in Profile Update (Access Control)
Summary
Plainpad is a self hosted note taking app. Prior to version 1.1.1, Plainpad allows a low-privilege authenticated user to self-escalate to administrator by submitting admin=true in PUT /api.php/v1/users/{id}. The endpoint directly persists the admin attribute from user input, and the escalated account can immediately access admin-only routes. This issue has been patched in version 1.1.1.

Title
Grav: Administrative Account Disruption and Privilege De-escalation via User Overwrite Logic
Summary
Grav is a file-based Web platform. Prior to 2.0.0-beta.2, a business logic vulnerability in the Grav Admin Panel allows a low-privileged user (with only user creation permissions) to overwrite existing accounts, including the primary administrator. By creating a new user with a username that already exists, the system updates the existing account's metadata and permissions instead of rejecting the request. This leads to a Denial of Service (DoS) on administrative functions and Privilege De-escalation of the root account. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.0.0-beta.2.

Title
Grav: Low-privileged API users can create super-admin accounts via blueprint-upload
Summary
Grav is a file-based Web platform. In Grav 2.0.0-beta.2, a low-privileged authenticated API user with api.media.write can abuse /api/v1/blueprint-upload to write an arbitrary YAML file into user/accounts/, then log in as the newly created account with api.super privileges. This results in full administrative compromise of the Grav API. This vulnerability is fixed in API 1.0.0-beta.17.

Title
The Ultimate WordPress Toolkit – WP Extended <= 3.2.4 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Privilege Escalation via Menu Editor Module
Summary
The 'The Ultimate WordPress Toolkit – WP Extended' plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.4. This is due to the `isDashboardOrProfileRequest()` method in the Menu Editor module using an insecure `strpos()` check against `$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']` to determine if a request targets the dashboard or profile page. The `grantVirtualCaps()` method, which is hooked into the `user_has_cap` filter, grants elevated capabilities including `manage_options` when this check returns true. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to gain administrative capabilities by appending a crafted query parameter to any admin URL, allowing them to update arbitrary WordPress options and ultimately create new Administrator accounts.

Mitigation ID: MIT-1
Phases: Architecture and Design, Operation
Description:
- Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
Mitigation ID: MIT-48
Phase: Architecture and Design
Strategy: Separation of Privilege
Description:
- Follow the principle of least privilege when assigning access rights to entities in a software system.
Mitigation ID: MIT-49
Phase: Architecture and Design
Strategy: Separation of Privilege
Description:
- 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.
