An issue was discovered in OPSWAT MetaDefender KIOSK 4.6.1.9996. Built-in features of Windows (desktop shortcuts, narrator) can be abused for privilege escalation.
ASRock 4x4 BOX-R1000 before BIOS P1.40 allows privilege escalation via code execution in the SMM.
lib/crud/userprocess.php in rConfig 3.9.x before 3.9.7 has an authentication bypass, leading to administrator account creation. This issue has been fixed in 3.9.7.
Microsoft Office Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
The Ultimate Member WordPress plugin before 2.6.7 does not prevent visitors from creating user accounts with arbitrary capabilities, effectively allowing attackers to create administrator accounts at will. This is actively being exploited in the wild.
Deno is a runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript. In deno 1.34.0 and deno_runtime 0.114.0, outbound HTTP requests made using the built-in `node:http` or `node:https` modules are incorrectly not checked against the network permission allow list (`--allow-net`). Dependencies relying on these built-in modules are subject to the vulnerability too. Users of Deno versions prior to 1.34.0 are unaffected. Deno Deploy users are unaffected. This problem has been patched in Deno v1.34.1 and deno_runtime 0.114.1 and all users are recommended to update to this version. No workaround is available for this issue.
Elevation of Privilege
Privilege chaining vulnerability in acmailer ver. 4.0.2 and earlier, and acmailer DB ver. 1.1.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and to gain an administrative privilege which may result in obtaining the sensitive information on the server via unspecified vectors.
Windows Update Stack Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
The WP RealEstate plugin for WordPress, used by the Homeo theme, is vulnerable to authentication bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.26. This is due to insufficient role restrictions in the 'process_register' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to register an account with the Administrator role.
In K7 Antivirus Premium 16.0.xxx through 16.0.0120; K7 Total Security 16.0.xxx through 16.0.0120; and K7 Ultimate Security 16.0.xxx through 16.0.0120, the module K7TSHlpr.dll improperly validates the administrative privileges of the user, allowing arbitrary registry writes in the K7AVOptn.dll module to facilitate escalation of privileges via inter-process communication with a service process.
