## What is CVE-2025-14262?

CVE-2025-14262 is a medium-severity missing authorization vulnerability in KNIME Business Hub, published on 8 Dec 2025. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

A wrong permission check in KNIME Business Hub before version 1.17.0 allowed an authenticated user to save jobs of other users as if there were saved by the job owner. The attacker must have permissions to access the jobs but then they were saved into the catalog service using the wrong owner permissions. Therefore it may have been possible to save into spaces where the attacker does not have write permissions.

There is no workaround.

Weakness: CWE-708 (Incorrect Ownership Assignment)
