Improper Access Control in Pypi calibreweb prior to 0.6.16.
An improper access control vulnerability exists in janeczku/calibre-web. The affected version allows users without public shelf permissions to create public shelves. The vulnerability is due to the `create_shelf` method in `shelf.py` not verifying if the user has the necessary permissions to create a public shelf. This issue can lead to unauthorized actions being performed by users.
A vulnerability was identified in janeczku Calibre-Web up to 0.6.26. The impacted element is the function generate_auth_token of the file cps/kobo_auth.py of the component Endpoint. Such manipulation of the argument user_id leads to improper authorization. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
In DedeCMS 5.7SP2, member/resetpassword.php allows remote authenticated users to reset the passwords of arbitrary users via a modified id parameter, because the key parameter is not properly validated.
Insufficient permission checks in the REST API in Tribe29 Checkmk <= 2.1.0p27 and <= 2.2.0b4 (beta) allow unauthorized users to schedule downtimes for any host.
In affected versions of Octopus Server it was possible for a low privileged user to manipulate an API request to change the signing key expiration and revocation time frames via an API endpoint that had incorrect permission validation. It was not possible to expose the signing keys using this vulnerability.
The Getwid – Gutenberg Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to an insufficient capability check on the get_remote_templates function in versions up to, and including, 1.8.3. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with subscriber-level permissions or above to flush the remote template cache. Cached template information can also be accessed via this endpoint but these are not considered sensitive as they are publicly accessible from the developer's site.
An issue has been discovered in GitLab affecting all versions starting from 15.9 before 15.9.4, all versions starting from 15.10 before 15.10.1. It was possible for an unauthorised user to add child epics linked to victim's epic in an unrelated group.

An issue has been discovered in GitLab affecting all versions starting from 10.0 before 16.1.5, all versions starting from 16.2 before 16.2.5, all versions starting from 16.3 before 16.3.1. Due to improper permission validation it was possible to edit labels description by an unauthorised user.
The VK Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to improper authorization via the REST 'update_vk_blocks_options' function in versions up to, and including, 1.57.0.5. This allows authenticated attackers, with contributor-level permissions or above, to change plugin settings including default icons.
The VK Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to improper authorization via the REST 'update_options' function in versions up to, and including, 1.57.0.5. This allows authenticated attackers, with contributor-level permissions or above, to change the 'vk_font_awesome_version' option to an arbitrary value.
An issue has been discovered in GitLab affecting all versions from 15.5 before 15.8.5, all versions starting from 15.9 before 15.9.4, all versions starting from 15.10 before 15.10.1. Due to improper permissions checks it was possible for an unauthorised user to remove an issue from an epic.
The WPCode WordPress plugin before 2.0.7 does not have adequate privilege checks in place for several AJAX actions, only checking the nonce. This may lead to allowing any authenticated user who can edit posts to call the endpoints related to WPCode Library authentication (such as update and delete the auth key).
Improper Authorization in GitHub repository wallabag/wallabag prior to 2.5.3.
To provide fine-grained controls over the ability to use Dynamic DNS (DDNS) to update records in a zone, BIND 9 provides a feature called update-policy. Various rules can be configured to limit the types of updates that can be performed by a client, depending on the key used when sending the update request. Unfortunately, some rule types were not initially documented, and when documentation for them was added to the Administrator Reference Manual (ARM) in change #3112, the language that was added to the ARM at that time incorrectly described the behavior of two rule types, krb5-subdomain and ms-subdomain. This incorrect documentation could mislead operators into believing that policies they had configured were more restrictive than they actually were. This affects BIND versions prior to BIND 9.11.5 and BIND 9.12.3.
Incorrect Authorization (CWE-863) vulnerability in Apache Artemis, Apache ActiveMQ Artemis exists when an application using the OpenWire protocol attempts to create a non-durable JMS topic subscription on an address that doesn't exist with an authenticated user which has the "createDurableQueue" permission but does not have the "createAddress" permission and address auto-creation is disabled. In this circumstance, a temporary address will be created whereas the attempt to create the non-durable subscription should instead fail since the user is not authorized to create the corresponding address. When the OpenWire connection is closed the address is removed. This issue affects Apache Artemis: from 2.50.0 through 2.52.0; Apache ActiveMQ Artemis: from 2.0.0 through 2.44.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.53.0, which fixes the issue.
Gitlab Community Edition version 10.3 is vulnerable to an improper authorization issue in the deployment keys component resulting in unauthorized use of deployment keys by guest users.
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.26 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability where DM pairing-store identities are incorrectly treated as group allowlist identities when dmPolicy=pairing and groupPolicy=allowlist. Remote attackers can send messages and reactions as DM-paired identities without explicit groupAllowFrom membership to bypass group sender authorization checks.
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.25 fail to enforce dmPolicy and allowFrom authorization checks on Discord direct-message reaction notifications, allowing non-allowlisted users to enqueue reaction-derived system events. Attackers can exploit this inconsistency by reacting to bot-authored DM messages to bypass DM authorization restrictions and trigger downstream automation or tool policies.
In affected versions of Octopus Server it was possible to create a new API key from an existing access token resulting in the new API key having a lifetime exceeding the original API key used to mint the access token.
Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. From versions 2026.1.0-latest to before 2026.1.3, 2026.2.0-latest to before 2026.2.2, and 2026.3.0-latest to before 2026.3.0, users who lost access to a topic (e.g., removed from a private category group) could still interact with polls in that topic, including voting and toggling poll status. No content was exposed, but users could modify poll state in topics they should no longer have access to. This issue has been patched in versions 2026.1.3, 2026.2.2, and 2026.3.0.
OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.2.25 fail to consistently apply sender-policy checks to reaction_* and pin_* non-message events before adding them to system-event context. Attackers can bypass configured DM policies and channel user allowlists to inject unauthorized reaction and pin events from restricted senders.
OpenClaw before 2026.3.28 contains a sender policy bypass vulnerability in the Google Chat and Zalouser extensions where route-level group allowlist policies silently downgrade to open policy. Attackers can exploit this policy resolution flaw to bypass sender restrictions and interact with bots despite configured allowlist restrictions.
The Royal Elementor Addons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to insufficient access control in the 'wpr_activate_required_plugins' AJAX action in versions up to, and including, 1.3.59. This allows any authenticated user, including those with subscriber-level permissions, to activate the 'contact-form-7', 'media-library-assistant', or 'woocommerce' plugins if they are installed on the site.

Unauthorized modification of settings due to insufficient authorization checks. The following products are affected: Acronis Cyber Protect 17 (Linux, Windows) before build 41186.
Silverstripe Admin provides a basic management interface for the Silverstripe Framework. In versions on the 1.x branch prior to 1.13.19 and on the 2.x branch prior to 2.1.8, users who don't have edit or delete permissions for records exposed in a `ModelAdmin` can still edit or delete records using the CSV import form, provided they have create permissions. The likelihood of a user having create permissions but not having edit or delete permissions is low, but it is possible. Note that this doesn't affect any `ModelAdmin` which has had the import form disabled via the `showImportForm` public property. Versions 1.13.19 and 2.1.8 contain a patch for the issue. Those who have a custom implementation of `BulkLoader` should update their implementations to respect permissions when the return value of `getCheckPermissions()` is true. Those who use any `BulkLoader` in their own project logic, or maintain a module which uses it, should consider passing `true` to `setCheckPermissions()` if the data is provided by users.
Unauthorized report deletion due to insufficient access control. The following products are affected: Acronis Cyber Protect 17 (Linux, Windows) before build 41186.
Mattermost versions 11.5.x <= 11.5.1, 10.11.x <= 10.11.13, 11.4.x <= 11.4.3 Fail to enforce slash command trigger-word uniqueness during command updates which allows an authenticated team member with Manage Own Slash Commands permission to hijack and impersonate existing system or custom slash commands via editing their own slash command trigger to an already-registered trigger through the command update API. Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2026-00597
Unauthorized resource manipulation due to improper authorization checks. The following products are affected: Acronis Cyber Protect 17 (Linux, Windows) before build 41186.

Mattermost versions 11.5.x <= 11.5.1, 10.11.x <= 10.11.13, 11.4.x <= 11.4.3 fail to validate that a remote cluster has access to a channel before processing membership removal requests during shared channel membership sync, which allows a malicious remote cluster to remove any user from any channel, including private channels, via crafted membership sync messages targeting channels the remote cluster is not authorized to access. Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2026-00576
GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 11.10 before 18.8.7, 18.9 before 18.9.3, and 18.10 before 18.10.1 that could have allowed an authenticated user to perform unauthorized actions on merge requests in other projects due to improper access control during cross-repository operations.
The Easy Cookies Policy WordPress plugin through 1.6.2 is lacking any capability and CSRF check when saving its settings, allowing any authenticated users (such as subscriber) to change them. If users can't register, this can be done through CSRF. Furthermore, the cookie banner setting is not sanitised or validated before being output in all pages of the frontend and the backend settings one, leading to a Stored Cross-Site Scripting issue.
A logic error in valid_role() in CloudForms role validation before 5.7.1.3 could allow a tenant administrator to create groups with a higher privilege level than the tenant administrator should have. This would allow an attacker with tenant administration access to elevate privileges.
An unauthorized user was able to insert metadata when creating new issue on GitLab CE/EE 14.0 and later.
Klaw is a self-service Apache Kafka Topic Management/Governance tool/portal. Prior to 2.10.2, there is an improper access control vulnerability that allows unauthorized users to trigger a reset or deletion of metadata for any tenant. By sending a crafted request to the /resetMemoryCache endpoint, an attacker can clear cached configurations, environments, and cluster data. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.10.2.
GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab EE affecting all versions from 18.6 before 18.8.9, 18.9 before 18.9.5, and 18.10 before 18.10.3 that under certain circumstances could have allowed an authenticated user with auditor privileges to modify vulnerability flag data in private projects due to incorrect authorization.
Applications using Spring Cloud Gateway are vulnerable to specifically crafted requests that could make an extra request on downstream services. Users of affected versions should apply the following mitigation: 3.0.x users should upgrade to 3.0.5+, 2.2.x users should upgrade to 2.2.10.RELEASE or newer.
Due to incorrect authorization in IBM Business Process Manager 8.6 an attacker can claim and work on ad hoc tasks he is not assigned to. IBM X-Force ID: 136151.
In Moodle, insufficient limitations in some quiz web services made it possible for students to bypass sequential navigation during a quiz attempt.
Mattermost versions 11.3.x <= 11.3.0, 11.2.x <= 11.2.2 fail to verify run_create permission for empty playbookId, which allows team members to create unauthorized runs via the playbook run API. Mattermost Advisory ID: MMSA-2025-00542
WeKan versions prior to 8.19 contain an authorization logic vulnerability where the instance configuration setting allowPrivateOnly is not sufficiently enforced at board creation time. When allowPrivateOnly is enabled, users can still create public boards due to incomplete server-side enforcement.
Discourse is an open source discussion platform. Versions prior to 2025.12.2, 2026.1.1, and 2026.2.0 have an IDOR (Insecure Direct Object Reference) in `ReviewableNotesController`. When `enable_category_group_moderation` is enabled, a user belonging to a category moderation group can create or delete their own notes on **any** reviewable in the system, including reviewables in categories they do not moderate. The controller used an unscoped `Reviewable.find` and the `ensure_can_see` guard only checked whether the user could access the review queue in general, not whether they could access the specific reviewable. Only instances with `enable_category_group_moderation` enabled are affected. Staff users (admins/moderators) are not impacted as they already have access to all reviewables. The issue is patched in versions 2025.12.2, 2026.1.1, and 2026.2.0 by scoping the reviewable lookup through `Reviewable.viewable_by(current_user)`. As a workaround, disable the `enable_category_group_moderation` site setting. This removes the attack surface as only staff users will have access to the review queue.
NVIDIA KAI Scheduler contains a vulnerability where an attacker could cause improper authorization through cross-namespace pod references. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to data tampering.
The The Plus Addons for Elementor – Addons for Elementor, Page Templates, Widgets, Mega Menu, WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 6.4.7. This is due to the tpae_create_page() AJAX handler authorizing users only with current_user_can('edit_posts') while accepting a user-controlled 'post_type' value passed directly to wp_insert_post() without post-type-specific capability checks. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to create arbitrary draft posts for restricted post types (e.g., 'page' and 'nxt_builder') via the 'post_type' parameter.
fof/byobu is a private discussions extension for Flarum forum. Affected versions were found to not respect private discussion disablement by users. Users of Byobu should update the extension to version 1.1.7, where this has been patched. Users of Byobu with Flarum 1.0 or 1.1 should upgrade to Flarum 1.2 or later, or evaluate the impact this issue has on your forum's users and choose to disable the extension if needed. There are no workarounds for this issue.
IBM Business Process Manager 7.5.x, 8.0.x, 8.5.0, 8.5.5, and 8.5.6.0 through cumulative fix 2 allow remote authenticated users to delete process and task data by leveraging incorrect authorization checks. IBM X-Force ID: 108393.
