Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-02-19 19:39 – Updated: 2026-02-20 16:46
VLAI
Summary
Cilium may not enforce host firewall policies when Native Routing, WireGuard and Node Encryption are enabled
Details

Impact

Host Policies will incorrectly permit traffic from Pods on other nodes when all of the following configurations are enabled: * Native Routing * WireGuard * Node Encryption (beta)

These options are disabled by default in Cilium.

Patches

This issue was fixed by #42892.

This issue affects:

  • Cilium v1.18 between v1.18.0 and v1.18.5 inclusive

This issue is fixed in:

  • Cilium v1.18.6

Workarounds

There is currently no officially verified or comprehensive workaround for this issue. The following procedure has been validated strictly within a local 'Kind' environment and has not undergone exhaustive testing across diverse production architectures. Proceed with caution.

To mitigate the identified traffic bypass, ensure all ingress traffic from the cilium_wg0 interface is explicitly routed to cilium_host for policy enforcement. This ensures that host-level security policies are applied to decrypted WireGuard traffic. Execute the following configuration on each CiliumNode:

# IPv4 Traffic
ip rule add iif cilium_wg0 table 300
ip route add default dev cilium_host table 300

# IPv6 Traffic
ip -6 rule add iif cilium_wg0 table 300
ip -6 route add default dev cilium_net table 300

VLAI
Summary
OpenClaw Gateway `operator.write` can reach admin-only session reset via `chat.send` `/reset`
Details

Summary

The chat.send path reused command authorization to trigger /reset session rotation even though direct session reset is an admin-only control-plane operation.

Impact

A write-scoped gateway caller could rotate a target session, archive the prior transcript state, and force a new session id without admin scope.

Affected Component

src/gateway/server-methods/chat.ts, src/auto-reply/reply/session.ts

Fixed Versions

  • Affected: <= 2026.3.24
  • Patched: >= 2026.3.28
  • Latest stable 2026.3.28 contains the fix.

Fix

Fixed by commit be00fcfccb (Gateway: align chat.send reset scope checks).

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-02-26 22:22 – Updated: 2026-02-26 22:22
VLAI
Summary
WireGuard Portal is Vulnerable to Privilege Escalation via User Self-Update to Admin Level
Details

Privilege Escalation to Admin via User Self-Update in wg-portal

Summary

Any authenticated non-admin user can become a full administrator by sending a single PUT request to their own user profile endpoint with "IsAdmin": true in the JSON body. After logging out and back in, the session picks up admin privileges from the database.

Tested against wg-portal v2.1.2 (Docker image wgportal/wg-portal:v2).

Root Cause

When a user updates their own profile, the server parses the full JSON body into the user model, including the IsAdmin boolean field. A function responsible for preserving calculated or protected attributes pins certain fields to their database values (such as base model data, linked peer count, and authentication data), but it does not do this for IsAdmin. As a result, whatever value the client sends for IsAdmin is written directly to the database.

Impact

After the exploit, the attacker has full admin access to the WireGuard VPN management portal. They can:

  • Read and modify every user account
  • Create, modify, and delete WireGuard peers on any interface
  • View WireGuard interface configurations
  • Disable or lock other user accounts
  • Access the full user list and their API tokens

Patches

The problem was fixed in the latest release, v2.1.3. The docker images for the tag 'latest' built from the master branch also include the fix.

  "details": "# Privilege Escalation to Admin via User Self-Update in wg-portal\n\n## Summary\n\nAny authenticated non-admin user can become a full administrator by sending a single PUT request to their own user profile endpoint with `\"IsAdmin\": true` in the JSON body. After logging out and back in, the session picks up admin privileges from the database.\n\nTested against wg-portal v2.1.2 (Docker image `wgportal/wg-portal:v2`).\n\n## Root Cause\n\nWhen a user updates their own profile, the server parses the full JSON body into the user model, including the `IsAdmin` boolean field. A function responsible for preserving calculated or protected attributes pins certain fields to their database values (such as base model data, linked peer count, and authentication data), but it does not do this for `IsAdmin`. As a result, whatever value the client sends for `IsAdmin` is written directly to the database.\n\n## Impact\n\nAfter the exploit, the attacker has full admin access to the WireGuard VPN management portal. They can:\n\n- Read and modify every user account\n- Create, modify, and delete WireGuard peers on any interface\n- View WireGuard interface configurations\n- Disable or lock other user accounts\n- Access the full user list and their API tokens\n\n## Patches\nThe problem was fixed in the latest release, [v2.1.3](https://github.com/h44z/wg-portal/releases/tag/v2.1.3). The [docker images](https://hub.docker.com/r/wgportal/wg-portal) for the tag \u0027latest\u0027 built from the master branch also include the fix.",

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-09-14 00:00 – Updated: 2022-09-20 00:00
VLAI
Details

Penta Security Systems Inc WAPPLES 4.0., 5.0.0., 5.0.12.* are vulnerable to Incorrect Access Control. The operating system that WAPPLES runs on has a built-in non-privileged user penta with a predefined password. The password for this user, as well as its existence, is not disclosed in the documentation. Knowing the credentials, attackers can use this feature to gain uncontrolled access to the device and therefore are considered an undocumented possibility for remote control.

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.
