This is due to the plugin validating file extensions but not halting execution when validation fails in the 'powerpress_edit_post' function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible. 2025-11-27 8.8 CVE-2025-13536 https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/d420ee49-e7b3-43d8-a263-8a93abd1133c?source=cvehttps://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/powerpress/tags/11.14.1/powerpressadmin.php#L3068https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/powerpress/tags/11.14.1/powerpressadmin.php#L3012https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/powerpress/tags/11.14.1/powerpressadmin.php#L2368https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3402635/  Chanjet--CRM A vulnerability has been found in Chanjet CRM up to 20251106.

This is due to the 'paypal-submit.php' file not restricting what user roles a user can register with. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to supply the 'administrator' role during registration and gain administrator access to the site. 2025-11-27 9.8 CVE-2025-13675 https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/4750b57e-7d8d-49d7-bbbf-46483eb97bd9?source=cvehttps://themeforest.net/item/tiger-social-network-theme-for-companies-professionals/16203995  DirectoryThemes--Tiger The Tiger theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 101.2.1. This is due to the plugin allowing a user to update the user role through the $user- >set_role() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to elevate their privileges to that of an administrator. 2025-11-27 8.8 CVE-2025-13680 https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/645f60ad-c8e5-47ec-94f1-960de4ef7838?source=cvehttps://themeforest.net/item/tiger-social-network-theme-for-companies-professionals/16203995  Eaton--Eaton Galileo Software Improper input sanitization in the file archives upload functionality of Eaton Galileo software allows traversing paths which could lead into an attacker with local access to execute unauthorized code or commands. This security issue has been fixed in the latest version of Galileo which is available on the Eaton download center. 2025-11-27 7.3 CVE-2025-59890 https://www.eaton.com/content/dam/eaton/company/news-insights/cybersecurity/security-bulletins/etn-va-2025-1024.pdf  Elated Themes--FindAll Listing The FindAll Listing plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.5. This is due to the 'findall_listing_user_registration_additional_params' function not restricting what user roles a user can register with. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to supply the 'administrator' role during registration and gain administrator access to the site. Note: The vulnerability can only be exploited if the FindAll Membership plugin is also activated, because user registration is in that plugin. 2025-11-27 9.8 CVE-2025-13538 https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/14981949-271c-4f98-a6a1-b00619f1436d?source=cvehttps://themeforest.net/item/findall-business-directory-theme/24415962  Elated Themes--FindAll Membership The FindAll Membership plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.4. This is due to the plugin not properly logging in a user with the data that was previously verified through the 'findall_membership_check_facebook_user' and the 'findall_membership_check_google_user' functions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as administrative users, as long as they have an existing account on the site which can easily be created by default through the temp user functionality, and access to the administrative user's email. 2025-11-27 9.8 CVE-2025-13539 https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/a856a96a-68d2-462d-b523-840668980807?source=cvehttps://themeforest.net/item/findall-business-directory-theme/24415962  factionsecurity--faction FACTION is a PenTesting Report Generation and Collaboration Framework. Prior to version 1.7.1, an extension execution path in Faction's extension framework permits untrusted extension code to execute arbitrary system commands on the server when a lifecycle hook is invoked, resulting in remote code execution (RCE) on the host running Faction. Due to a missing authentication check on the /portal/AppStoreDashboard endpoint, an attacker can access the extension management UI and upload a malicious extension without any authentication, making this vulnerability exploitable by unauthenticated users. This issue has been patched in version 1.7.1. 2025-11-26 9.7 CVE-2025-66022 https://github.com/factionsecurity/faction/security/advisories/GHSA-xr72-2g43-586whttps://github.com/factionsecurity/faction/commit/c6389f1c76175b7c1c68d1a87b389311b16c62c3  fugue-project--fugue Fugue is a unified interface for distributed computing that lets users execute Python, Pandas, and SQL code on Spark, Dask, and Ray with minimal rewrites. In version 0.9.2 and prior, there is a remote code execution vulnerability by pickle deserialization via FlaskRPCServer. The Fugue framework implements an RPC server system for distributed computing operations. In the core functionality of the RPC server implementation, I found that the _decode() function in fugue/rpc/flask.py directly uses cloudpickle.loads() to deserialize data without any sanitization. This creates a remote code execution vulnerability when malicious pickle data is processed by the RPC server. The vulnerability exists in the RPC communication mechanism where the client can send arbitrary serialized Python objects that will be deserialized on the server side, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code on the victim's machine. This issue has been patched via commit 6f25326. 2025-11-25 8.8 CVE-2025-62703 https://github.com/fugue-project/fugue/security/advisories/GHSA-xv5p-fjw5-vrj6https://github.com/fugue-project/fugue/commit/6f25326779fd1f528198098d6287c5a863176fc0  geoserver--geoserver GeoServer is an open source server that allows users to share and edit geospatial data. From version 2.26.0 to before 2.26.2 and before 2.25.6, an XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability was identified. The application accepts XML input through a specific endpoint /geoserver/wms operation GetMap. However, this input is not sufficiently sanitized or restricted, allowing an attacker to define external entities within the XML request. This issue has been patched in GeoServer 2.25.6, GeoServer 2.26.3, and GeoServer 2.27.0. 2025-11-25 8.2 CVE-2025-58360 https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/security/advisories/GHSA-fjf5-xgmq-5525https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEOS-11682  GitLab--GitLab GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 17.10 before 18.4.5, 18.5 before 18.5.3, and 18.6 before 18.6.1 that could have allowed an unauthenticated user to cause a Denial of Service condition by sending specifically crafted requests containing malicious JSON payloads. 2025-11-26 7.5 CVE-2025-12571 GitLab Issue #579168HackerOne Bug Bounty Report #3362239  GL-Inet--GL-AXT1800 A firmware downgrade vulnerability exists in the OTA Update functionality of GL-Inet GL-AXT1800 4.7.0. A specially crafted .tar file can lead to a firmware downgrade. An attacker can perform a man-in-the-middle attack to trigger this vulnerability. 2025-11-24 8.3 CVE-2025-44018 https://talosintelligence.com/vulnerability_reports/TALOS-2025-2230  HCL Software--iNotes HCL iNotes is susceptible to a Reflected Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can specially craft a URL to execute script in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site and/or steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials. 2025-11-25 8.1 CVE-2025-0248 https://support.hcl-software.com/csm?id=kb_article&sysparm_article=KB0127032  Huawei--HarmonyOS Permission control vulnerability in the memory management module.
