Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-18 09:31 – Updated: 2026-09-18 09:31The Magazine Blocks – Blog Designer, Magazine & Newspaper Website Builder, Page Builder with Posts Blocks, Post Grid plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.8.6. 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 demote administrator-owned published builder templates (header, footer, front page, single, archive, 404, and search) to draft status and replace them with attacker-authored block content rendered site-wide, enabling defacement, phishing, and SEO spam. This is possible because the mzb-builder-template post type is registered with capability_type='post' and exposed via the REST API, and the _mzb_template meta key is accessible to any user with edit_posts capability, meaning Contributor-level users and above can trigger the vulnerable save_post() hook.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-06 21:42 – Updated: 2026-08-31 19:43ChartsController::actionGetNewUsersData() at /actions/charts/get-new-users-data is missing a requirePermission('viewUsers') authorization check. Any authenticated control panel user, regardless of permissions beyond accessCp, can POST to this endpoint to receive time-series user registration counts for the entire site or for an arbitrary user group ID.
The viewUsers permission is consistently required throughout the control panel before exposing user-related data, but this action enforces only the base accessCp check inherited from the framework.
Each call returns the total count of users who joined the specified group in the requested period.
Impact
Any control panel user with only accessCp permission can obtain the total number of registered users and their registration date distribution across any time window.
In installations with multiple editor roles, this allows a low-privilege control panel user to infer user group sizes and registration trends that would normally require the viewUsers permission to access.
No user PII (name, email, password) is disclosed; only aggregate counts and timestamps are returned. Confidentiality impact is low. No integrity or availability impact.

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.
