CVE-2026-74032: Wazuh authorization bypass in RBAC API endpoints

CVE-2026-74032 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.3 · Published 2026-10-13

Wazuh is a security monitoring platform that protects enterprise networks by collecting and analyzing security data. A flaw in its REST API allows low-privileged users to see a complete map of all privileged actions and resources in the system, enabling them to plan attacks to escalate their access. An attacker with any valid user account can retrieve sensitive RBAC configuration that should be restricted to administrators.

Technologies: Wazuh Manager. Vendors: Wazuh.

Technical details

The REST API endpoints GET /security/actions and GET /security/resources fail to enforce RBAC policies when returning the complete RBAC catalog. The vulnerable code creates a DistributedAPI instance without passing the authenticated caller's RBAC policies, causing the system to default to an empty policy set that permits all access. Any authenticated user (local or remote) can query these endpoints to enumerate privileged actions and resource types needed for privilege escalation attacks.
