GHSA-HXRM-G829-M3G6
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-09 06:31 – Updated: 2026-09-09 06:31The WP Recipe Maker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 10.8.0. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to take ownership of any admin-authored recipe by rewriting its post_author to the attacker's user ID, and unpublish it by overwriting its post_status with the contributor's draft or pending post status. This requires the default 'recipe_use_author' setting to be set to 'parent' for the ownership transfer to occur, though unpublishing remains possible regardless of this setting.

GHSA-J24V-WV3R-FJCH
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-23 12:31 – Updated: 2026-09-23 12:31A flaw was found in the Pushed Authorization Request PAR implementation of Keycloak. The issue occurs when the silent authentication path prompt=none is used, which allows the authorization process to skip certain steps if a user is already logged in. Due to this bypass, the security rule that ensures a pushed request URI is used only once is not enforced. An attacker could potentially reuse a request URI to obtain multiple authorization codes for a user who is already signed in, violating security standards like FAPI-2.

GHSA-J26J-7QC4-3MRF
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-03 21:36 – Updated: 2026-03-03 21:36Summary
In openclaw MS Teams file-consent flow, pending uploads were authorized by uploadId alone. fileConsent/invoke did not verify the invoke conversation against the conversation that created the pending upload.
Impact
An attacker who obtained a valid uploadId within TTL could trigger cross-conversation upload completion (accept path) or cancel a victim pending upload (decline path).
Technical Details
- Pending uploads stored
conversationId, but invoke handling consumed byuploadIdonly. - The invoke path did not enforce conversation binding before
uploadToConsentUrl(...)and pending-upload removal. - Fix binds accept/decline handling to normalized conversation id match before consuming pending upload state.
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw(npm) - Latest published npm version (as of February 26, 2026):
2026.2.24 - Vulnerable range:
<= 2026.2.24 - Patched in release:
2026.2.25
Remediation
Upgrade to openclaw 2026.2.25 (or later) once published.
Fix Commit(s)
347f7b9550064f5f5b33c6e07f64e85b9657b6f1
Release Process Note
patched_versions is pre-set to the release (2026.2.25). Advisory published with npm release 2026.2.25.

GHSA-J286-265P-82MW
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-12-20 06:30 – Updated: 2025-12-20 06:30The F70 Lead Document Download plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the 'file_download' function in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.4. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to download any file from the WordPress media library by guessing or enumerating WordPress attachment IDs.

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.
