CVE-2026-8046 · Severity: high · CVSS 8.1 · Published 2026-05-26

Executive brief

A security flaw exists in the user management system of the affected products. An attacker with a standard user account can bypass security checks to delete other user accounts, including those belonging to administrators. This could lead to a significant disruption of service and loss of administrative control over the system.

Technical details

The vulnerability is classified as Incorrect Authorization (CWE-863) within the user account deletion functionality. The root cause is a failure to sufficiently verify the permissions of the requesting user against the target account being deleted. An attacker must be authenticated with low-level privileges and have network access to the application. By sending a crafted request, the attacker can delete arbitrary user accounts, including administrative accounts, resulting in a high impact on system integrity and availability. No user interaction is required for exploitation.
