Privilege Escalation in argo-workflows

Argo Workflows is an open source container-native workflow engine for orchestrating parallel jobs on Kubernetes. In affected versions an attacker can create a workflow which produces a HTML artifact containing an HTML file that contains a script which uses XHR calls to interact with the Argo Server API. The attacker emails the deep-link to the artifact to their victim. The victim opens the link, the script starts running. As the script has access to the Argo Server API (as the victim), so may read information about the victim’s workflows, or create and delete workflows. Note the attacker must be an insider: they must have access to the same cluster as the victim and must already be able to run their own workflows. The attacker must have an understanding of the victim’s system. We have seen no evidence of this in the wild. We urge all users to upgrade to the fixed versions.

The Elegant Themes Bloom plugin before 1.1.1 for WordPress has privilege escalation.

grafana: incorrect assessment of permissions across organizations

Grafana is an open-source platform for monitoring and observability. The vulnerability impacts Grafana instances with several organizations, and allows a user with Organization Admin permissions in one organization to change the permissions associated with Organization Viewer, Organization Editor and Organization Admin roles in all organizations. It also allows an Organization Admin to assign or revoke any permissions that they have to any user globally. This means that any Organization Admin can elevate their own permissions in any organization that they are already a member of, or elevate or restrict the permissions of any other user. The vulnerability does not allow a user to become a member of an organization that they are not already a member of, or to add any other users to an organization that the current user is not a member of.

FGAC API Key privilege escalation in Grafana

Grafana is an open-source platform for monitoring and observability. When fine-grained access control is enabled and a client uses Grafana API Key to make requests, the permissions for that API Key are cached for 30 seconds for the given organization. Because of the way the cache ID is constructed, the consequent requests with any API Key evaluate to the same permissions as the previous requests. This can lead to an escalation of privileges, when for example a first request is made with Admin permissions, and the second request with different API Key is made with Viewer permissions, the second request will get the cached permissions from the previous Admin, essentially accessing higher privilege than it should. The vulnerability is only impacting Grafana Enterprise when the fine-grained access control beta feature is enabled and there are more than one API Keys in one organization with different roles assigned. All installations after Grafana Enterprise v8.1.0-beta1 should be upgraded as soon as possible. As an alternative, disable fine-grained access control will mitigate the vulnerability.

HP Support Assistant – Potential Escalation of Privilege

A potential security vulnerability has been identified in the HP Support Assistant, which allows a local attacker to escalate privileges via an arbitrary file deletion.

During an annual penetration test conducted on behalf of Axis Communication, Truesec discovered a flaw in the VAPIX Device Configuration framework that allowed a privilege escalation, enabling a lower-privileged user to gain administrator privileges.

HP PC BIOS May 2024 Security Updates for Potential Stack Buffer Overflows

Potential vulnerabilities have been identified in the system BIOS for certain HP PC products which may allow escalation of privileges and code execution. HP is releasing firmware updates to mitigate the potential vulnerabilities.

Memory Leak in SmmComuptrace Module

The DXE module SmmComputrace contains a vulnerability that allows local attackers to leak stack or global memory. This could lead to privilege escalation, arbitrary code execution, and bypassing OS security mechanisms

An unauthenticated privilege escalation vulnerability affects HCL MyCloud

HCL MyCloud is affected by Improper Access Control - an unauthenticated privilege escalation vulnerability which may lead to information disclosure and potential for Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) and Denial of Service(DOS) attacks from unauthenticated users.

Inadequate account permissions management

Cybersecurity Nozomi Networks Labs, a specialized security company focused on Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and OT/IoT security, has discovered Inadequate of permission management for camera guest account. The manufacturer has released patch firmware for the flaw, please refer to the manufacturer's report for details and workarounds.

Apache StreamPipes: Leverage of User ID for Privilege Escalation

A user with a legitimate non-administrator account can exploit a vulnerability in the user ID creation mechanism in Apache StreamPipes that allows them to swap the username of an existing user with that of an administrator.  This vulnerability allows an attacker to gain administrative control over the application by manipulating JWT tokens, which can lead to data tampering, unauthorized access and other security issues. This issue affects Apache StreamPipes: through 0.97.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 0.98.0, which fixes the issue.

Galette has a privilege escalation vulnerability

Galette is a membership management web application for non profit organizations. Prior to version 1.2.0, while updating any existing account with a self forged POST request, one can gain higher privileges. Version 1.2.0 fixes the issue.

An issue was discovered in DriveLock 24.1 before 24.1.6, 24.2 before 24.2.7, and 25.1 before 25.1.5. Local unprivileged users can manipulate privileged processes to gain more privileges on Windows computers.

An issue was discovered in DriveLock 24.1 through 24.1.*, 24.2 through 24.2.*, and 25.1 before 25.1.6. Users with the "Manage roles and permissions" privilege can promote themselves or other DOC users to the Supervisor role through an API call. This privilege is included by default in the Administrator role. This issue mainly affects cloud multi-tenant deployments; on-prem single-tenant installations are typically not impacted because local admins usually already have Supervisor privileges.

An issue was discovered in K7 Ultimate Security 17.0.2045. A Local Privilege Escalation (LPE) vulnerability in the K7 Ultimate Security antivirus can be exploited by a local unprivileged user on default installations of the product. Insecure access to a named pipe allows unprivileged users to edit any registry key, leading to a full compromise as SYSTEM.
