An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-85950 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Progress Software Corporation MarkLogic Server. 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-2026-85950/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-85950/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-85950","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-85950/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-85950","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9jw5-g3c2-6mhf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"MarkLogic Server","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Remote attackers with admin privileges can access higher-privileged authentication material, leading to unauthorized administrative access in MarkLogic Server.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ProgressSoftware","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.4,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"Progress MarkLogic Server 12.x releases before 12.1.0 and 11.x releases before 11.3.7 contain an authorization flaw that could allow a remote attacker with administrative privileges to access authentication material associated with higher-privileged users, potentially resulting in unauthorized administrative access.","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 privilege management in Progress MarkLogic Server REST extensions","id":"CVE-2026-85950","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Server-side request forgery in Progress MarkLogic Server Azure deployments","id":"CVE-2026-85951"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Sensitive information exposure in Progress MarkLogic Server trace logs","id":"CVE-2026-85949"},"products":["MarkLogic Server"],"published":"2026-10-12","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"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":"2026-10-14","vendors":["Progress Software Corporation"]},"summary":"Remote attackers with admin privileges can access higher-privileged authentication material, leading to unauthorized administrative access in MarkLogic Server.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-85950/"}
