What is CVE-2026-44668?
CVE-2026-44668 is a critical missing authorization vulnerability in factionsecurity faction, published on 26 May 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
FACTION is a PenTesting Report Generation and Collaboration Framework. Prior to 1.8.3, AccessControlInterceptor, the authentication gate for all Struts2 actions, unconditionally calls invocation.invoke() without checking for a valid session. Four action methods in BoilerPlateConfig perform no local session check either, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to read, overwrite, deactivate, and permanently delete any boilerplate template in the system. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.8.3.
Weakness: CWE-306
