Technical description

The Better Messages – Chat Rooms, Group Chat, Private Messages & AI Chat Bots plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.15.33. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with custom-level access and above, to access the full message transcript, thread metadata, and user data of any chat-room thread without authentication. This is only exploitable when the chat room's only_joined_can_read setting retains its default value of '0'.

———Unleash is an open-source feature management platform. Prior to 8.0.3, the Unleash admin API contains five authorization vulnerabilities. POST /api/admin/segments/strategies assigns the Promise returned by hasPermission without awaiting it, allowing authenticated users to modify segment assignments without UPDATE_FEATURE_STRATEGY permission for the target project and environment. GET /api/admin/projects/:projectId/features/:featureName/environments/:environment/variants does not bind the requested feature to projectId, allowing cross-project variant configuration disclosure. GET .../strategies/:strategyId uses strategyId without validating the project and feature context, allowing cross-project strategy configuration disclosure. getEnvironmentInfo does not validate that the requested feature belongs to the supplied project, allowing cross-project environment information disclosure. PUT /:projectId/tags accepts feature identifiers without verifying that they belong to the URL project, allowing cross-project tag modification. This issue is fixed in version 8.0.3.9h CVE-2026-631048.1 HIG

———Kaneo versions 2.3.12 before 2.12.2 contain a missing authorization vulnerability that allows authenticated workspace members with viewer or member roles to delete and modify tasks beyond their assigned permissions by exploiting the bulk task endpoint that omits workspace permission checks. Attackers can send requests to the PATCH /api/task/bulk endpoint, which verifies only workspace membership without calling the role-based permission check enforced on all other task endpoints, to permanently delete all tasks or modify task status, priority, assignee, due date, and labels in a workspace.9h CVE-2026-943848.1 HIG

——0Missing authorization in Amazon amazon-connect-salesforce-lambda before 5.26 allows any IAM principal with lambda:InvokeFunction permission on the affected function to escalate privileges and perform AWS API operations that their own IAM identity is explicitly denied, via invocation of a Lambda function that dispatches caller-supplied parameters to privileged service APIs without authorization validation. To remediate this issue, we recommend upgrading to version 5.26 or later. After setup is complete, either delete or disable the sfExecuteAWSService function. If you retain the function, restrict invocation to the intended IAM user only.11h
