CVE-2025-11772
MediumCVSS 6.6Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk6th percentile - higher than 6% of all known CVEs
Summary
A carefully crafted DLL copied to the C:\ProgramData\Synaptics folder allows a local user to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges during driver installation.
Risk Assessment
A local attacker with low privileges could achieve code execution with elevated privileges, potentially leading to full system compromise. This requires the ability to write to the specified folder.
Recommendation
Restrict write permissions to the C:\ProgramData\Synaptics folder to trusted accounts and administrators only. Update Synaptics drivers to a fixed version and monitor for unusual DLL files in that directory.

The MDJM Event Management and Mobile Events Manager WordPress plugins through 1.7.8.7 act on a role deletion request on every page load with no capability check and no nonce. The guard meant to protect roles with assigned users reads a different part of the request than the one selecting what is deleted, allowing unauthenticated attackers to remove any WordPress role including administrator, permanently stripping every user of their capabilities.

In Kubeflow Pipelines prior to 2.18.0, the multi-user HTTP endpoints for uploading pipelines and pipeline versions skip SubjectAccessReview when the target namespace is empty and REQUIRE_NAMESPACE_FOR_PIPELINES defaults to false. A low-privilege tenant can create shared pipelines or inject attacker-controlled versions into existing shared pipelines without the required write permission. If the API server is directly reachable without an authenticating proxy, an unauthenticated caller can exploit the same bypass.
