GHSA-6F4X-X656-Q884
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-04-12 15:30 – Updated: 2026-04-08 18:32The WP Data Access plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in versions up to, and including, 5.3.7. This is due to a lack of authorization checks on the multiple_roles_update function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with minimal permissions such as a subscriber, to modify their user role by supplying the 'wpda_role[]' parameter during a profile update. This requires the 'Enable role management' setting to be enabled for the site.

GHSA-6FVR-66P3-3QJ4
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-07-02 16:05 – Updated: 2026-07-02 16:05Summary
OpenClaw hook ingress can start automated agent runs using a configured hook token. In affected releases, a hook-triggered run could select a bundled CLI backend that received owner-scoped MCP loopback authority instead of a scope appropriate for hook ingress.
This issue affects the boundary between hook-token automation and owner-only MCP tools. It does not affect deployments with hooks disabled.
Affected configurations
This affects deployments where hooks are enabled, /hooks/agent is reachable with a valid hook token, and a bundled CLI backend can be selected for the hook-triggered run.
Impact
A caller with the hook token could cause the spawned CLI runtime to see or call MCP tools that should have been owner-only. The practical impact depends on which MCP tools are available; the reported proof used persistent cron state as a representative owner-only action.
Patched Versions
The first stable patched version is 2026.5.20.
Fixed in the 2026.5.20 stable release.
Mitigations
Upgrade to openclaw@2026.5.20 or later. Keep hook tokens secret, restrict network access to hook endpoints, and disable hooks when they are not needed.

Mitigation MIT-1
Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
Mitigation MIT-17
Strategy: Environment Hardening
Run your code using the lowest privileges that are required to accomplish the necessary tasks [REF-76]. If possible, create isolated accounts with limited privileges that are only used for a single task. That way, a successful attack will not immediately give the attacker access to the rest of the software or its environment. For example, database applications rarely need to run as the database administrator, especially in day-to-day operations.
