CVE-2026-53661
HighCVSS 8.8Summary
Boruta, an authorization server, prior to version 0.9.1, sets session cookies and the 'remember me' cookie without the Secure attribute. In HTTP connections, an attacker could intercept these cookies, leading to the ability to impersonate the user.
Risk Assessment
Organizations may be exposed to man-in-the-middle attacks, potentially leading to unauthorized access to user accounts. This allows attackers to hijack sessions and access sensitive data.
Recommendation
It is recommended to upgrade to version 0.9.1 or manually apply the patch. Additionally, enforce HTTPS-only access and enable HSTS for Boruta domains.

N-central is vulnerable to pre-auth remote code execution. This issue affects N-central before version 2026.3.1.14.
- CVE-2026-75816Critical
The Frontend Admin by DynamiApps plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass to Account Takeover in all versions up to and including 3.29.12. The pre_update_value function lacks capability or ownership checks, and ActionPost::conditions_logic() short-circuits the current_user_can('edit_post') authorization gate when the post ID is non-numeric, allowing unauthenticated form submissions to be routed to arbitrary user records. This enables unauthenticated attackers to overwrite any user's email address, including an administrator's, and then use WordPress's native password-reset flow to take over the account.
- CVE-2026-16310Critical
The MemberDash plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to and including 1.8.5 via the 'id' parameter due to missing validation on a user-controlled key. This allows unauthenticated attackers to change the password of any WordPress user, including administrators, by supplying an arbitrary user ID during registration, and take over their account without any notification to the victim.

Original NVD description (English source)
Boruta is a standalone authorization server that aims to implement OAuth 2.0 and Openid Connect up to decentralized identity specifications. Prior to version 0.9.1, boruta session cookies and the identity “remember me” cookie were set without the Secure attribute. In deployments where users could reach the same Boruta origin over plaintext HTTP, browsers could send these cookies over an unencrypted connection. An attacker able to observe or intercept that network traffic could recover a valid session or remember-me cookie and reuse it to impersonate the affected user. Affected components include boruta_web, boruta_identity, and boruta_admin. The affected cookies include the shared session cookie, defaulting to _boruta_web_key, and the identity remember-me cookie, defaulting to `_boruta_identity_web_user_remember_me`. The issue is fixed in commit 18691c655164635066aa113003a3cd87f6ed11cd, released as part of version 0.9.1. The patch sets `secure: true` and `same_site: "Lax"` on configured session cookies for boruta_web, boruta_identity, and boruta_admin, and sets `secure: true` on the identity remember-me cookie. Until upgrading to a release containing the fix: terminate or reject plaintext HTTP before requests reach Boruta; enforce HTTPS-only access at the reverse proxy or load balancer; enable HSTS for Boruta domains; if cookie exposure is suspected, rotate SECRET_KEY_BASE and BORUTA_SESSION_COOKIE_SIGNING_SALT, then require users to authenticate again. Upgrade to a version containing commit 18691c655164635066aa113003a3cd87f6ed11cd, or apply the patch manually. After deploying the fix, verify that Boruta session and remember-me cookies include the Secure attribute in browser developer tools or with an HTTP response inspection tool.
