GHSA-267R-XVF4-X7X2
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-11-11 06:30 – Updated: 2025-11-11 06:30The Crypto plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized manipulation of data in all versions up to, and including, 2.22. This is due to the plugin registering an unauthenticated AJAX action (wp_ajax_nopriv_crypto_connect_ajax_process) that allows calling the crypto_delete_json method with only a publicly-available nonce check. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete specific JSON files matching the pattern *_pending.json within the wp-content/uploads/yak/ directory, causing data loss and denial of service for plugin workflows that rely on these artifacts.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-27 15:35 – Updated: 2026-03-27 15:35Summary
An access control check is missing when deleting a file from a knowledge base. The only check being done is that the user has write access to the knowledge base (or is admin), but NOT that the file actually belongs to this knowledge base. It is thus possible to delete arbitrary files from arbitrary knowledge bases (as long as one knows the file id)
Details
The source code at https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/blob/main/backend/open_webui/routers/knowledge.py#L803 does not properly validate that the file being deleted belongs to the current knowledge base:
@router.post("/{id}/file/remove", response_model=Optional[KnowledgeFilesResponse])
def remove_file_from_knowledge_by_id(
id: str,
form_data: KnowledgeFileIdForm,
delete_file: bool = Query(True),
user=Depends(get_verified_user),
db: Session = Depends(get_session),
):
knowledge = Knowledges.get_knowledge_by_id(id=id, db=db)
[...]
# Note : Access control check on the knowledge base
if (
knowledge.user_id != user.id
and not AccessGrants.has_access(
user_id=user.id,
resource_type="knowledge",
resource_id=knowledge.id,
permission="write",
db=db,
)
and user.role != "admin"
):
raise HTTPException(
status_code=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST,
detail=ERROR_MESSAGES.ACCESS_PROHIBITED,
)
file = Files.get_file_by_id(form_data.file_id, db=db)
[...]
# Note : No checks on the file
if delete_file:
try:
# Remove the file's collection from vector database
file_collection = f"file-{form_data.file_id}"
if VECTOR_DB_CLIENT.has_collection(collection_name=file_collection):
VECTOR_DB_CLIENT.delete_collection(collection_name=file_collection)
except Exception as e:
log.debug("This was most likely caused by bypassing embedding processing")
log.debug(e)
pass
# Delete file from database
Files.delete_file_by_id(form_data.file_id, db=db)
[...]

Victim has a knowledge base with a file (id: 9db6dcee-bb3b-483e-aaf3-310fda366af1) Attacker creates their own collection (id: dde9e2b6-21c9-4aa1-a1cf-8cb0e4392f2b) Attacker deletes the victim file from their own collection:

The file is then deleted from the victim's knowledge base.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-07-09 09:30 – Updated: 2026-07-09 09:30The miniOrange OTP Login, Verification and SMS Notifications plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass leading to Administrator Account Takeover in all versions up to, and including, 5.5.1. This is due to the um_reset_password_process_hook() function performing no server-side verification that the OTP validation step was completed, and relying solely on a public form_nonce nonce that the plugin itself emits to unauthenticated visitors via the moumprvar JavaScript object on the Ultimate Member password reset page, while still accepting the attacker-controlled username_b parameter to target any WordPress user without role restriction or any binding to a previously validated OTP session. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to obtain a freshly generated password-reset URL for an arbitrary Administrator account — returned in a 302 Location header — and use it to take full control of that account. Exploitation requires the Ultimate Member Password Reset Form integration to be active and the plugin to not be configured for phone-only reset.

Mitigation
- 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
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
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
- 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
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.
