Technical details

An incorrect authorization vulnerability exists in Octopus Server due to insufficient validation checks on project trigger actions. A network-based attacker with high privileges (PR:H) can bypass intended restrictions to trigger deployments they are not authorized to execute. The root cause is a failure to properly enforce permission checks within the project trigger component. This issue affects multiple major versions including 2023.x through 2026.2. Patches have been released in versions 2026.1.11587 and 2026.2.13190.
