What is CVE-2026-102106?

CVE-2026-102106 is a critical authentication bypass vulnerability in Accellion Kiteworks, published on 30 Sep 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

Official description

Improper authentication in a Kiteworks Email Protection Gateway administrative service. An administrative service in Kiteworks Email Protection Gateway did not consistently enforce administrator authentication, so the required password check could be bypassed. An attacker who referenced a valid administrator account could potentially create, modify, or delete internal users and managed domains and change their security-feature configuration without authenticating; deleting a managed domain also removes its user accounts and could lock administrators out of the gateway.

Weakness: CWE-287
