It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-26850 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Quest KACE Systems Management Appliance. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-26850/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-26850/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-26850","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-26850/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-26850","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xp38-x25m-8fpq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"KACE Systems Management Appliance","requires_auth":"none","summary":"The KACE SMA agent allows privilege escalation on managed systems, requiring an upgrade to secure the environment.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.3,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-863","name":"Incorrect Authorization"}],"description":"The agent in Quest KACE Systems Management Appliance (SMA) before 14.0.97 and 14.1.x before 14.1.19 potentially allows privilege escalation on managed systems.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in KACE Systems Management Appliance","id":"CVE-2025-26850","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"SQL injection in Infocad FM","id":"CVE-2025-26852"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in Docusnap","id":"CVE-2025-26849"},"products":["KACE Systems Management Appliance"],"published":"2025-07-04","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-07-08","vendors":["Quest"]},"summary":"The KACE SMA agent allows privilege escalation on managed systems, requiring an upgrade to secure the environment.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-26850/"}
