Details

Dolibarr versions 10.0.0 before 24.0.0 fail to perform per-object authorization checks in the Users::getGroups REST API endpoint, allowing authenticated users to retrieve group memberships of other users. Attackers can call GET /users/{id}/groups with arbitrary user identifiers to access group names, entity associations, and private notes across tenant boundaries.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-02-28 00:31 – Updated: 2026-03-10 15:31
VLAI
Details

openDCIM version 23.04, through commit 4467e9c4, contains a missing authorization vulnerability in install.php and container-install.php. The installer and upgrade handler expose LDAP configuration functionality without enforcing application role checks. Any authenticated user can access this functionality regardless of assigned privileges. In deployments where REMOTE_USER is set without authentication enforcement, the endpoint may be accessible without credentials. This allows unauthorized modification of application configuration.

The Payflex Payment Gateway plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the payment_callback() function in all versions up to, and including, 2.5.0. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update the status of orders, which can potentially lead to revenue loss.

Due to a Missing Authorization Check vulnerability in Application Server ABAP and ABAP Platform, an authenticated attacker could misuse an RFC function to execute form routines (FORMs) in the ABAP system. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to write or modify data accessible via FORMs and invoke system functionality exposed via FORMs, resulting in a high impact on integrity and availability, while confidentiality remains unaffected.

Summary
Duplicate Advisory: Publish-access filter on renderAttributeView leaves related-database content unfiltered and fails open on non-block first columns
Details

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-mfrj-v65r-979c. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

SiYuan versions before v3.7.4 fail to properly filter related-database content in renderAttributeView, allowing anonymous readers to access Relation and Rollup cell contents from hidden or password-protected databases. Attackers can request published databases that relate to restricted databases to retrieve sensitive content, or bypass row filtering entirely when the first column is a non-block type.

GHSA-MG9F-F46C-6CM7

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-07-16 09:31 – Updated: 2026-04-08 21:33
VLAI
Details

The Malcure Malware Scanner — #1 Toolset for WordPress Malware Removal plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Deletion due to a missing capability check on the wpmr_delete_file() function in all versions up to, and including, 16.8. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files making remote code execution possible. This is only exploitable when advanced mode is enabled on the site.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design
  • 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
Architecture and Design

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
Architecture and Design

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
Architecture and Design
  • 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
System Configuration Installation

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.
