CVE-2026-124436: OpenRemote improper authorization in admin endpoints

CVE-2026-124436 · Severity: high · CVSS 8 · Published 2026-11-08

OpenRemote is an IoT management platform that uses separate realm administrators for individual deployments and super administrators for global control. A vulnerability allows realm administrators to call administrative endpoints that should be restricted to super administrators, letting them modify global resources affecting all realms. An attacker with realm admin access can redirect authentication servers to phishing sites, inject malicious CSS into other realms' consoles, replace map data, or delete shared logs.

Technologies: OpenRemote Manager. Vendors: OpenRemote.

Technical details

Multiple API endpoints in ConfigurationResourceImpl, MapResourceImpl, and SyslogResourceImpl enforce administrative role checks but do not verify super administrator status, violating realm isolation. Eight endpoints are affected: PUT /configuration/manager, POST /configuration/manager/file, PUT /map, POST /map/upload, DELETE /map/deleteMap, DELETE /syslog/event, GET /syslog/config, and PUT /syslog/config. A realm administrator with write:admin or read:admin role can access these endpoints via their own realm's API path to modify deployment-wide resources including keycloakUrl, map tiles, configuration images, and logs without requiring super administrator credentials or multi-realm tokens.
