Details

The Gutenberg Essential Blocks – Page Builder for Gutenberg Blocks & Patterns plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing or incorrect capability checks on the get_instagram_access_token_callback, google_map_api_key_save_callback and get_siteinfo functions in all versions up to, and including, 5.7.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to view API keys configured for the external services.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-24 16:49 – Updated: 2024-04-04 01:13
VLAI
Details

In the Zoom Client through 4.4.4 and RingCentral 7.0.136380.0312 on macOS, remote attackers can force a user to join a video call with the video camera active. This occurs because any web site can interact with the Zoom web server on localhost port 19421 or 19424. NOTE: a machine remains vulnerable if the Zoom Client was installed in the past and then uninstalled. Blocking exploitation requires additional steps, such as the ZDisableVideo preference and/or killing the web server, deleting the ~/.zoomus directory, and creating a ~/.zoomus plain file.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-17 21:47 – Updated: 2026-05-08 01:32
VLAI
Summary
OpenClaw: Browser snapshot and screenshot routes could expose internal page content after navigation
Details

Summary

Browser snapshot and screenshot routes could expose internal page content after navigation.

Affected Packages / Versions

  • Package: openclaw
  • Ecosystem: npm
  • Affected versions: < 2026.4.14
  • Patched versions: >= 2026.4.14

Impact

Authenticated browser tool callers could use snapshot, screenshot, or tab routes that did not consistently validate the final browser target after route-driven navigation. In restrictive browser SSRF configurations this could expose content from internal or otherwise disallowed pages.

Technical Details

The fix re-checks browser snapshot, screenshot, and tab route results against the configured browser SSRF policy before returning page content. Regression coverage was added around snapshot/screenshot and tab-route flows.

Fix

The issue was fixed in #66040. The first stable tag containing the fix is v2026.4.14, and openclaw@2026.4.14 includes the fix.

Fix Commit(s)

  • b75ad800a59009fc47eaa3471410f69046150e59
  • PR: #66040

Release Process Note

Users should upgrade to openclaw 2026.4.14 or newer. The latest npm release, 2026.4.14, already includes the fix.

Credits

Thanks to @zsxsoft, with sponsorship from @KeenSecurityLab and @qclawer for reporting this issue.

The Accessiy By CodeConfig Accessibility plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized page creation due to missing authorization checks in versions up to, and including, 1.0.0. This is due to the plugin not performing capability checks in the Settings::createPage() function.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-11-19 06:31 – Updated: 2025-11-19 06:31
VLAI
Details

The Directorist: AI-Powered Business Directory Plugin with Classified Ads Listings plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to a missing capability check on the 'directorist_prepare_listings_export_file' and 'directorist_type_slug_change' AJAX actions in all versions up to, and including, 8.5.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to export listing details and change the directorist slug.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design
  • 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
Architecture and Design

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
Architecture and Design

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
Architecture and Design
  • 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
System Configuration Installation

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.
