A privilege escalation vulnerability was found in CUPS when used with the cups-filters serial backend. A local user who is a member of the lpadmin group can configure a printer that uses a privileged serial backend. The CUPS scheduler does not restrict the path component of non-file device URIs, so the root-privileged backend can write attacker-controlled print data to an arbitrary file. This can be used to change security-sensitive CUPS configuration and ultimately achieve root code execution. Exploitation requires local lpadmin group membership and a serial backend binary installed with root-only permissions.

CVE-2026-124707.2 HIG—
———The CMP – Coming Soon & Maintenance Plugin by NiteoThemes plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data that can lead to privilege escalation due to a missing capability check on the 'cmp_ajax_import_settings' AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 4.1.17. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Editor-level access and above, to update arbitrary options on the WordPress site. This can be leveraged to update the default role for registration to administrator and enable user registration for attackers to gain administrative user access to a vulnerable site.8hCVE-2026-133559.8 CRI—
———The Meta Box AIO plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation to Administrator in versions up to, and including, 3.11.0. This is due to a chained flaw: the populate_via_query_string() function in the mb-frontend-submission component unconditionally overrides the form's target object_id from the GET parameter 'rwmb_frontend_field_object_id' without any authorization check, and Form::process() lacks the user_can_edit() check present in render(), allowing unauthenticated attackers to overwrite the post_content of any page with an arbitrary shortcode via wp_update_post(); the mb-user-profile component then directly trusts the 'role' and 'auto_login' shortcode attributes in the injected [mb_user_profile_register] shortcode with no role validation. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to elevate their privileges to Administrator. The standalone plugins Meta Box Frontend Submission (in versions up to 4.5.6) and Meta Box User Profile (versions up to 3.11.0) are also affected.3hCVE-2026-944258.8 HIG—
———A vulnerability was found in Moore Threads MTT S80 Driver Package 340.150. The affected element is the function sub_140006F0C in the library mtdispkm64.sys of the component IOCTL Handler. The manipulation results in improper privilege management. Attacking locally is a requirement. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.1hCVE-2026-488268.1 HIG—
——0HomeBox is a home inventory and organization system. Prior to 0.26.0, HandleWipeInventory in backend/app/api/handlers/v1/v1_ctrl_actions.go authorizes POST /v1/actions/wipe-inventory through the global ctx.User.IsOwner value instead of the caller's role in the active group, while the active group is selected through the X-Tenant request header. Because every self-registered user who creates a group receives the global owner value, a user who is also a member of another group can select that group with X-Tenant and permanently delete its complete inventory, which is not recoverable without external backups. This issue is fixed in version 0.26.0.17hCVE-2025-714217.2 HIG—
——0UVdesk core-framework before 1.1.7 contains an improper privilege management vulnerability in the editAgent endpoint that allows agents with agent-management privilege to escalate their own role to administrator. Attackers can submit their own account identifier with a role parameter set to ROLE_ADMIN to gain full administrative control over agents, tickets, and mail configuration.17hCVE-2026-94381——
——0MISP has a security issue that can let a user gain more access than their API key is supposed to allow.
A read-only API key should only let someone view information. However, after logging in with such a key, a specific MISP function could accidentally restore the user’s normal account permissions. This means someone with a read-only API key could potentially gain write, delete, or even administrator access if their underlying account has those permissions.
Exploiting the issue requires a valid read-only API key and a single request to the affected function.
The main impact is that MISP’s API key restrictions can be bypassed, allowing actions that the API key was specifically meant to prevent.
