Creeper is an experimental dynamic, interpreted language. The binary release of Creeper Interpreter 1.1.3 contains potential malware. The compromised binary release was available for a few hours between December 26, 2020 at 3:22 PM EST to December 26, 2020 at 11:00 PM EST. If you used the source code, you are **NOT** affected. This only affects the binary releases. The binary of unknown quality has been removed from the release. If you have downloaded the binary, please delete it and run a reputable antivirus scanner to ensure that your computer is clean.
The ASUS DSL-N17U modem with firmware 1.1.0.2 allows attackers to access the admin interface by changing the admin password without authentication via a POST request to Advanced_System_Content.asp with the uiViewTools_username=admin&uiViewTools_Password= and uiViewTools_PasswordConfirm= substrings.
An issue was discovered in the Ultimate Member plugin before 2.1.12 for WordPress, aka Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation via User Meta. An attacker could supply an array parameter for sensitive metadata, such as the wp_capabilities user meta that defines a user's role. During the registration process, submitted registration details were passed to the update_profile function, and any metadata was accepted, e.g., wp_capabilities[administrator] for Administrator access.
An issue was discovered in the Ultimate Member plugin before 2.1.12 for WordPress, aka Authenticated Privilege Escalation via Profile Update. Any user with wp-admin access to the profile.php page could supply the parameter um-role with a value set to any role (e.g., Administrator) during a profile update, and effectively escalate their privileges.
An issue was discovered in the Ultimate Member plugin before 2.1.12 for WordPress, aka Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation via User Roles. Due to the lack of filtering on the role parameter that could be supplied during the registration process, an attacker could supply the role parameter with a WordPress capability (or any custom Ultimate Member role) and effectively be granted those privileges.
The Application Wrapper in Pearson VUE VTS Installer 2.3.1911 has Full Control permissions for Everyone in the "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Pearson VUE" directory, which allows local users to obtain administrative privileges via a Trojan horse application.
An issue was discovered in Dovecot before 2.3.13. By using IMAP IDLE, an authenticated attacker can trigger unhibernation via attacker-controlled parameters, leading to access to other users' email messages (and path disclosure).
Dovecot before 2.3.13 has Improper Input Validation in lda, lmtp, and imap, leading to an application crash via a crafted email message with certain choices for ten thousand MIME parts.
CSE Bookstore version 1.0 is vulnerable to time-based blind, boolean-based blind and OR error-based SQL injection in pubid parameter in bookPerPub.php and in cart.php. A successful exploitation of this vulnerability will lead to an attacker dumping the entire database on which the web application is running.
