Docker Sandboxes privilege escalation through untrusted state directories

Docker Sandboxes reuses existing state and configuration directories without verifying their ownership. If sbx or sandboxd is run as root with HOME or, on Linux, XDG_STATE_HOME pointing to an attacker-controlled location, a local unprivileged user can substitute control-plane sockets and configuration trusted by the root process, potentially executing commands as root. Exploitation requires a privileged invocation with an attacker-influenced environment. The issue affects Linux and macOS and is fixed in version 0.53.0.

Snipe-IT before 8.7.0 Audit Log Misattribution via Consumables Checkout

Snipe-IT versions before 8.7.0 contain an improper ownership management vulnerability in the consumables checkout API endpoint that records the checkout target user's id in the created_by column instead of the authenticated caller's id. Authenticated attackers with consumables.checkout permission can perform checkouts that result in misattributed audit trail entries in the consumables_users pivot table, obscuring which operator performed the action.

Pi-hole: Local privilege escalation from `pihole` user to root via `/etc/pihole/logrotate`

Pi-hole is a DNS sinkhole that protects devices from unwanted content without installing any client-side software. From 6.0 to 6.4.2, a user with code execution as the unprivileged pihole user can escalate to root by replacing /etc/pihole/logrotate. The replacement is laundered to root:root ownership by pihole-FTL-prestart.sh and then parsed as root by the daily pihole flush cron, executing firstaction shell as uid 0. This issue is fixed in version 6.4.3.

Cross‑Tenant Denial of Service via Unchecked Accelerator Request API

In OpenStack Cyborg before 16.0.1, the Accelerator Request (ARQ) API does not enforce project ownership at any layer. The project_id column in the database is never populated (NULL for every ARQ), database queries have no project filtering, and policy checks are self-referential (the authorize_wsgi decorator compares the caller's project_id with itself rather than the target resource). Any authenticated non-admin user can complete various actions such as deleting ARQs bound to other projects' instances, aka cross-tenant denial of service.

Improper Ownership Management Permits Low‑Privilege Access to Admin Password Hash

An improper ownership management vulnerability has been identified in Moxa’s Secure Router. Because of improper ownership management, a low-privileged authenticated user may access a configuration file containing the hashed password of the administrative account. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information. Exploitation is only possible under a specific condition — when the configuration file has been exported. This vulnerability does not impact the integrity or availability of the affected product, and no confidentiality, integrity, or availability impact to the subsequent system has been identified.

Users can impersonate import requesters if their actor IDs coincide in ImportDump

ImportDump is a mediawiki extension designed to automate user import requests. A user's local actor ID is stored in the database to tell who made what requests. Therefore, if a user on another wiki happens to have the same actor ID as someone on the central wiki, the user on the other wiki can act as if they're the original wiki requester. This can be abused to create new comments, edit the request, and view the request if it's marked private. This issue has been addressed in commit `5c91dfc` and all users are advised to update. Users unable to update may disable the special page outside of their global wiki. See `miraheze/mw-config@e566499` for details on that.

The Nix, Lix, and Guix package managers allow a bypass of build isolation in which a user can elevate their privileges to the build user account (e.g., nixbld or guixbuild). This affects Nix through 2.24.15, 2.26.4, 2.28.4, and 2.29.1; Lix through 2.91.2, 2.92.2, and 2.93.1; and Guix before 1.4.0-38.0e79d5b.

Screen creates by default world-writable PTYs

The default mode of pseudo terminals (PTYs) allocated by Screen was changed from 0620 to 0622, thereby allowing anyone to write to any Screen PTYs in the system.

CWE-282 "Improper Ownership Management" in GE Vernova EnerVista UR Setup allows Authentication Bypass.  The software's startup authentication can be disabled by altering a Windows registry setting that any user can modify.

Kiteworks Core before 9.2.2 is vulnerable to Improper Ownership Management

Kiteworks is a private data network (PDN). Versions 9.2.0 and 9.2.1 of Kiteworks Core have an access control vulnerability that allows authenticated users to access unauthorized content. Upgrade Kiteworks Core to version 9.2.2 or later to receive a patch.

In JetBrains TeamCity before 2025.07.1 privilege escalation was possible due to incorrect directory ownership

Jenkins HashiCorp Vault Plugin 371.v884a_4dd60fb_6 and earlier does not set the appropriate context for Vault credentials lookup, allowing attackers with Item/Configure permission to access and potentially capture Vault credentials they are not entitled to.

Mozilla: Privilege escalation with Mozilla Maintenance Service in custom Firefox installation location

The Firefox installer allows Firefox to be installed to a custom user writable location, leaving it unprotected from manipulation by unprivileged users or malware. If the Mozilla Maintenance Service is manipulated to update this unprotected location and the updated maintenance service in the unprotected location has been altered, the altered maintenance service can run with elevated privileges during the update process due to a lack of integrity checks. This allows for privilege escalation if the executable has been replaced locally. <br>*Note: This attack requires local system access and only affects Windows. Other operating systems are not affected.*. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 69, Firefox ESR < 60.9, and Firefox ESR < 68.1.

Improper Ownership Management in GitLab

An information disclosure issue in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions starting from 13.11 prior to 16.2.8, 16.3 prior to 16.3.5, and 16.4 prior to 16.4.1 allows an attacker to extract non-protected CI/CD variables by tricking a user to visit a fork with a malicious CI/CD configuration.

kernel: FUSE filesystem low-privileged user privileges escalation

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, where unauthorized access to the execution of the setuid file with capabilities was found in the Linux kernel’s OverlayFS subsystem in how a user copies a capable file from a nosuid mount into another mount. This uid mapping bug allows a local user to escalate their privileges on the system.

PeerTube Arbitrary Playlist Creation via ActivityPub Protocol

This vulnerability allows any attacker to add playlists to a different user’s channel using the ActivityPub protocol. The vulnerable code sets the owner of the new playlist to be the user who performed the request, and then sets the associated channel to the channel ID supplied by the request, without checking if it belongs to the user.

PeerTube Arbitrary Playlist Creation via REST API

The vulnerability allows an existing user to add playlists to a different user’s channel using the PeerTube REST API. The vulnerable code sets the owner of the new playlist to be the user who performed the request, and then sets the associated channel to the channel ID supplied by the request, without checking if it belongs to the user.

IBM OpenPages information disclosure

IBM OpenPages 9.0 could allow an authenticated user to obtain sensitive information such as configurations that should only be available to privileged users.

A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the node update functionality of Veertu Anka Build 1.42.0. A specially crafted PKG file can lead to execute priviledged operation. An attacker can make an unauthenticated HTTP request to trigger this vulnerability.
