Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-20 12:31 – Updated: 2026-09-28 12:31
VLAI
Details

A flaw was found in FreeIPA. When a trust relationship is configured between FreeIPA and Active Directory, Active Directory users can bypass authentication for FreeIPA services, including the portal, SMB server, and LDAP directory. This is possible by impersonating a client name in the Ticket Granting Service (TGS) due to FreeIPA services not verifying Privilege Attribute Certificate (PAC) certificates. This vulnerability could allow an authenticated Active Directory user to escalate their privileges within the FreeIPA domain.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-09-30 18:30 – Updated: 2025-12-24 15:30
VLAI
Details

A flaw was found in Red Hat Openshift AI Service. A low-privileged attacker with access to an authenticated account, for example as a data scientist using a standard Jupyter notebook, can escalate their privileges to a full cluster administrator. This allows for the complete compromise of the cluster's confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The attacker can steal sensitive data, disrupt all services, and take control of the underlying infrastructure, leading to a total breach of the platform and all applications hosted on it.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-06-16 16:01 – Updated: 2025-06-17 19:26
VLAI
Summary
New authd users logging in via SSH are members of the root group
Details

Impact

When an authd user logs in via SSH for the first time (meaning they do not yet exist in the authd user database) and successfully authenticates via the configured broker, the user is considered a member of the root group in the context of that SSH session. This situation may allow the user to read and write files that are accessible by the root group, to which they should not have access. The user does not get root privileges or any capabilities beyond the access granted to the root group.

Preconditions under which this vulnerability affects a system * authd was installed via the PPA. * An OAuth 2.0 application was registered in Microsoft Entra ID or Google IAM, and the respective authd broker was installed (authd-msentraid or authd-google) and configured. * sshd was configured to enable SSH access with authd, i.e.: UsePAM yes KbdInteractiveAuthentication yes * The username is allowed by the ssh_allowed_suffixes option in the broker configuriation. * The user is allowed by the allowed_users option in the broker configuration. * The user successfully authenticates via the authd broker (Entra ID or Google IAM). * The user did not log in locally before.

Patches

Fixed by https://github.com/ubuntu/authd/commit/619ce8e55953b970f1765ddaad565081538151ab

Workarounds

Configure the SSH server to not allow authenticating via authd, for example by setting UsePAM no or KbdInteractiveAuthentication no in the sshd_config (see https://documentation.ubuntu.com/authd/stable/howto/login-ssh/#ssh-configuration).

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-02-12 12:30 – Updated: 2025-02-12 12:30
VLAI
Details

The WP Job Board Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.76. This is due to the plugin allowing a user to supply the 'role' field when registering. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to register as an administrator on vulnerable sites.

Mitigation MIT-1
Architecture and Design Operation

Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.

Mitigation MIT-17
Architecture and Design Operation

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.

No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
