CVE-2026-121455: DbGate missing authorization in connection management

CVE-2026-121455 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.4 · Published 2026-11-03

DbGate is a database management tool that runs as a web application and desktop client. Authenticated users with restricted connection access can bypass LOGIN_PERMISSIONS checks to probe internal database hosts or modify stored database connections without authorization. This allows a partially-restricted user to discover and potentially compromise database systems they should not have access to.
