Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-59093 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: weaviate. 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-2026-59093/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-59093/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-59093","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-59093/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-59093","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-667j-56pf-pq9c","MINI-2238-6m3j-32hv","MINI-39gg-8777-m7fq","MINI-3j8h-rv3p-x2c2","MINI-4x69-56p4-jrhf","MINI-6jh2-f3hg-w8mx","MINI-8whf-v47j-36wq","MINI-9hcw-v7qg-444c","MINI-9jc8-x4vw-3jcv","MINI-gv9w-52vg-gm4w","MINI-hgh9-mm3r-g752","MINI-hpvj-m4m8-2g35","MINI-mpp5-vf74-f9f7","MINI-p36f-59r9-vcxw","MINI-qq2f-m3j9-3pxw","MINI-w57p-76p2-v9vq","MINI-wrc7-gvx3-m2pm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"database","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Vector database","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A user with role assignment permissions can escalate to full administrative control by assigning high-privilege roles to themselves due to missing permission checks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulnCheck","cpe":[{"product":"weaviate","vendor":"weaviate"}],"cvss":{"score":8.7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-266","name":"Incorrect Privilege Assignment"}],"description":"Weaviate before 1.38.0 does not verify that a principal performing an RBAC role assignment holds the permissions granted by the assigned role.
