Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-8709 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-2026-8709/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-8709/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-8709","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-8709/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-8709","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8pvj-2hqp-qwfr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"MarkLogic Server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated low-privileged user can escalate privileges to execute privileged operations against the Security database in MarkLogic Server.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ProgressSoftware","cpe":[{"product":"marklogic_server","vendor":"progress"}],"cvss":{"score":9.9,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"An improper privilege management vulnerability in the REST API document patch operation of Progress MarkLogic Server before 11.3.6 and 12.0.3 allows an authenticated user with a low-privileged REST role to escalate privileges and execute privileged operations against the Security database.","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":"Privilege escalation in Progress MarkLogic Server REST document patch operation","id":"CVE-2026-8709","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":"NGINX JavaScript vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-8711"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Genzel breadcrumbs \u003c= 1.2 - Cross-Site Request Forgery to Settings Update via Plugin Settings Page","id":"CVE-2026-8708"},"products":["MarkLogic Server"],"published":"2026-08-05","related":[{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Progress MarkLogic Server REST query interfaces","id":"CVE-2026-7329","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-05"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Progress MarkLogic Server Hadoop integration","id":"CVE-2026-9193","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Authentication bypass in Progress MarkLogic Server ODBC App Server","id":"CVE-2026-9192","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-05"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Progress MarkLogic Server Query Console","id":"CVE-2026-9195","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-05"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"SAML authentication bypass in Progress MarkLogic Server","id":"CVE-2026-7557","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-05"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"HTTP request smuggling in Progress MarkLogic Server","id":"CVE-2026-9190","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-05"}],"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":"2026-08-07","vendors":["Progress Software Corporation"]},"summary":"An authenticated low-privileged user can escalate privileges to execute privileged operations against the Security database in MarkLogic Server.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-8709/"}
