Summary
APTRS before version 2.0.1 has a privilege escalation vulnerability in the edit_user endpoint (POST /api/auth/edituser/<pk>). Any user can set the is_superuser flag to true for their own or another account, gaining full access without re-authentication.
Risk Assessment
An unauthenticated or low-privileged user can gain administrator privileges, leading to full system compromise.
Recommendation
Upgrade APTRS to version 2.0.1, which prevents non-superusers from modifying the is_superuser field.

- CVE-2026-81648Critical
The CryptoPayment Gateway WordPress plugin from 1.2.1 to 1.2.2 does not apply an authorization check on one of its AJAX endpoints, allowing unauthenticated users to invoke administrative operations, including deleting arbitrary files on the server, overwriting the payment gateway configuration and recovering stored wallet credentials in cleartext.
- CVE-2026-90558Critical
sngrep through 1.8.4 contains stack buffer overflow vulnerabilities in SIP attribute formatting routines when header values exceed the 255-byte buffer limit. Attackers can craft malicious SIP packets with oversized Call-ID, X-Call-ID, or other header fields to overflow stack buffers and cause crashes or execute arbitrary code during packet parsing and rendering.
- CVE-2026-78159Critical
The Events Calendar plugin for WordPress in all versions up to and including 6.17.3 is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution via the parse_array function. Insufficient validation of the widget 'classes' map allows a plain-array payload to bypass the is_safe_widget_instance() object check and reach the callable-invocation sink in Element_Classes::parse_array(). This enables unauthenticated attackers to execute code on the server, provided comments are enabled on tribe_events posts and at least one comment containing a crafted wp:legacy-widget block has been submitted.
- CVE-2026-78006Critical
The Events Calendar plugin for WordPress in all versions up to and including 6.17.4 is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution via the is_safe_widget_instance function. Insufficient protection in is_safe_widget_instance can be bypassed because PHP fires magic methods during its pre-parse, combined with enable_rendering_widget_copied() forging a valid wp_hash integrity attribute before unserialize() is reached. This enables unauthenticated attackers to execute code on the server, as the plugin's V2 single-event template runs do_blocks() over buffered comment HTML and WordPress returns a moderation-hash URL allowing an unauthenticated commenter to immediately view their own pending comment.
- CVE-2026-85681Critical
The WP Component WordPress plugin through 2.2.4 does not have any capability or nonce checks on one of the actions it makes available to unauthenticated users, and it takes both the option name and the option value from the request, allowing unauthenticated attackers to overwrite any of the site's options. On a single site installation this leads to a full takeover, as registration can be enabled with a default role of administrator.
Original NVD description (English source)
APTRS (Automated Penetration Testing Reporting System) is a Python and Django-based automated reporting tool designed for penetration testers and security organizations. Prior to version 2.0.1, the edit_user endpoint (POST /api/auth/edituser/<pk>) allows Any user who can reach that endpoint and submit crafted permission to escalate their own account (or any other account) to superuser by including "is_superuser": true in the request body. The root cause is that CustomUserSerializer explicitly includes is_superuser in its fields list but omits it from read_only_fields, making it a writable field. The edit_user view performs no additional validation to prevent non-superusers from modifying this field. Once is_superuser is set to true, gaining unrestricted access to all application functionality without requiring re-authentication. This issue has been patched in version 2.0.1.
