Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-85514 exists.\n\nAffected product: StackStorm st2. 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-2026-85514/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-85514/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-85514","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-85514/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-85514","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7pr7-27f4-hvhf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"StackStorm automation platform","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Remote attackers can escalate privileges via improper management of API key user arguments in the StackStorm st2 API Key Handler.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulDB","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"},{"id":"CWE-266","name":"Incorrect Privilege Assignment"}],"description":"A security vulnerability has been detected in StackStorm st2 up to 3.9.0.
