Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-78626 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Okta Access Gateway. 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-2026-78626/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-78626/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-78626","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-78626/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-78626","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4vpp-8gg6-2rvh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Okta Access Gateway","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can bypass authorization checks in Okta Access Gateway if administrators configure specific Protected Rule policies, allowing unauthorized access to resources.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Okta","cpe":[{"product":"access_gateway","vendor":"okta"}],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-863","name":"Incorrect Authorization"}],"description":"The Okta Access Gateway improperly handles input sanitization and regular expression evaluation within its Protected Rule authorization check, resulting in an authorization bypass when an administrator has explicitly configured a Protected Rule policy on one or more application resources.","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":"Improper Input Sanitization in Okta Access Gateway Protected Rules","id":"CVE-2026-78626","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Improper Credential Protection in Okta Hyperdrive Integration Installer Logging","id":"CVE-2026-78627"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Insufficient Validation of Dashboard Application Labels in Okta Access Gateway Dashboard Site Configuration","id":"CVE-2026-78625"},"products":["Okta Access Gateway"],"published":"2026-09-08","related":[{"cvss_score":7.7,"headline":"Improper Handling of SAML Assertion Attributes in Okta Access Gateway Advanced Mode Datastores","id":"CVE-2026-78623","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-08"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Improper Input Sanitization in Okta Access Gateway LDAP Datastore Filter Interpolation","id":"CVE-2026-78579","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-08"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Insufficient Validation of Dashboard Application Labels in Okta Access Gateway Dashboard Site Configuration","id":"CVE-2026-78625","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-08"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Improper Input Neutralization in Okta Access Gateway SNMP Configuration Processing","id":"CVE-2026-78630","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-08"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-28113","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-04-02"},{"cvss_score":6.6,"headline":"Improper Input Sanitization in Okta Access Gateway Application Label Configuration","id":"CVE-2026-78545","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-08"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"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":"2026-09-10","vendors":["Okta"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass authorization checks in Okta Access Gateway if administrators configure specific Protected Rule policies, allowing unauthorized access to resources.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-78626/"}
