CVE-2026-102113: Kiteworks Core local privilege escalation in path handling

CVE-2026-102113 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.8 · Published 2026-09-30

Kiteworks Core, a content management and sharing appliance, contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in how it handles file paths. An attacker with existing local access to an unprivileged service account on the appliance can manipulate a filesystem path to trick a privileged routine into executing arbitrary commands with root access. This could allow complete compromise of the appliance including all data stored and processed by it.

Technical details

The vulnerability is a classic path traversal / symlink following flaw (CWE-59) in a privileged backend routine that does not safely validate or restrict filesystem paths influenced by lower-privileged users. An attacker with code execution as an unprivileged backend service account (local access required, no privilege elevation needed for initial compromise) can exploit this to cause root-owned operations to execute arbitrary commands. The fix is available in version 9.5.0 and later.
