An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-85954 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-2026-85954/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-85954/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-85954","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-85954/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-85954","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gmhw-x439-9j5f"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"MarkLogic Server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges by exploiting improper privilege management in higher-order XQuery functions within MarkLogic Server.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ProgressSoftware","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.6,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N","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 can evaluate user-controlled values supplied to certain higher-order XQuery functions in an elevated security context, which could result in privilege escalation beyond the attacker's granted permissions.","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 higher-order XQuery functions","id":"CVE-2026-85954","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":"Improper privilege management in Progress MarkLogic Server xdmp:eval-in","id":"CVE-2026-85955"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal and privilege management flaws in Progress MarkLogic Server InfoStudio","id":"CVE-2026-85953"},"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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-14","vendors":["Progress Software Corporation"]},"summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges by exploiting improper privilege management in higher-order XQuery functions within MarkLogic Server.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-85954/"}
