| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the attacker to hold at minimum a low-privilege account or valid session on the Pega Infinity platform (PR:L per CVSS 4.0 vector), meaning fully anonymous exploitation is not supported by the available data. The platform must be reachable over a network (AV:N), and no special non-default configuration or specific platform feature activation is described as a prerequisite. What limits exploitation: the low-privilege authentication requirement means an attacker must first obtain some form of platform credentials or session token; organizations that tightly control who can authenticate to Pega reduce their exposed surface. No user interaction is required beyond initial authentication, and attack complexity is low, meaning no race condition or environmental dependency exists once credentials are obtained. |
| Impact | The combination of a network-accessible attack vector, low complexity, and high confidentiality plus integrity impact on the vulnerable system places this vulnerability firmly in the urgent remediation tier for Pega Infinity operators. The vendor-assigned CVSS 4.0 score of 8.6 is consistent with the scope of impact: VC:H/VI:H indicate an attacker who successfully forges a JWT can read sensitive business data and manipulate application state or workflows within the platform. The absence of a CISA KEV listing and no identified public exploit code are moderating factors, but AC:L and AT:N mean that once an exploit is developed, it requires no special conditions to trigger - even a mid-sized municipal IT team in sanok running Pega for citizen-facing services should treat this as urgent given that Pega Infinity is often deployed with access to sensitive case management and business process data. EPSS data was not supplied in the source intelligence, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified. The PR:L prerequisite (low privilege required) is the primary limiting factor; fully unauthenticated exploitation is not supported by the available vector data. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with a low-privilege account on a Pega Infinity deployment crafts a forged JWT token - for example, by exploiting algorithm confusion or signature omission - and submits it to the platform API. The platform accepts the malformed token as valid, granting the attacker elevated session context, access to restricted case data, or the ability to execute business process actions under another user's identity. No public proof-of-concept code has been identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity suggests exploit development is straightforward for a skilled attacker familiar with JWT vulnerabilities. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 10, 2026
Cryptographic signature validation failure in Pega Platform (Pega Infinity) versions 8.5.0 through 25.1.2 enables low-privileged network attackers to forge or manipulate JWT tokens, bypassing authentication and authorization controls. The vulnerability maps to CWE-347 and is tagged as a JWT attack vector capable of authentication bypass, with high confidentiality and integrity impact confirmed in the vendor's own CVSS 4.0 assessment. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity and network accessibility make this a meaningful risk for any organization running affected Pega Infinity deployments.
RemediationAI
The primary remediation is to apply the patch or upgrade referenced in Pega's security advisory at https://support.pega.com/support-doc/pega-security-advisory-m26-vulnerability-remediation-note. The advisory is designated M26, indicating a Pega-issued security note; customers should consult it for the exact target version that resolves CVE-2026-10754, as a specific fixed version number was not independently extractable from the available intelligence data. While awaiting patching, operators should consider restricting access to Pega Platform API endpoints that accept JWT tokens at the network perimeter or via WAF rules, though this may disrupt integrations relying on token-based authentication. Additionally, reviewing JWT issuance and validation configuration within the Pega platform (algorithm pinning, key management settings) may reduce exploitability. These compensating controls carry trade-offs in integration compatibility and should be validated in non-production environments first.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Pega Platform, marketed as Pega Infinity (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:pegasystems:pega_infinity), is an enterprise low-code application development and BPM platform. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-347 (Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature), which describes failures to validate the integrity or authenticity of a cryptographic signature before trusting signed data. The 'Jwt Attack' tag in the intelligence data strongly indicates this manifests as inadequate JWT signature verification - a known attack class where implementations fail to enforce algorithm constraints, accept unsigned tokens, or tolerate algorithm confusion attacks (e.g., RS256-to-HS256 confusion). In such cases, an attacker with low-level platform access can craft a token asserting elevated identity or roles. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L) confirms the attack is network-reachable, low-complexity, and requires only low privileges to initiate.

DescriptionCVE.org
Pega Platform versions 8.5.0 through 25.1.2 are affected by an improper validation of cryptographic signatures that may allow an attacker to bypass security controls.
Executive ViewAI
Pega Infinity deployments (versions 8.5.0-25.1.2) are vulnerable to JWT manipulation attacks that circumvent authentication and authorization safeguards, exposing organizations to account takeover and unauthorized data access. The low attack complexity and network accessibility create substantial risk for any organization relying on Pega for mission-critical business processes.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: enforce strict JWT validation policies including token expiration enforcement and audience claim verification; implement network segmentation isolating Pega infrastructure from general network access; enable detailed authentication and authorization logging to detect suspicious token usage; require additional authentication factors (MFA) for sensitive operations within Pega; restrict outbound network access from Pega components to minimize lateral movement from compromised tokens.
