Privilege escalation in the Qt Axivion Dashboard allows an authenticated low-privileged user to mint API tokens for other, higher-privileged accounts via the undocumented POST /api/users/~/{user}/tokens endpoint, which failed to enforce an authorization check on the target user. An attacker who knows a more-privileged user's login name and can log in through the Dashboard's OAuth/OIDC flow can forge and finalize a token for that account, potentially seizing Dashboard Administrator rights and — chained with a separate weakness — achieving code execution on the host. CVSS 4.0 is rated 8.7 (High); there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV.

Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
The implementation of an internal and undocumented Dashboard API endpoint (POST /api/users/~/{user}/tokens) forgot to ensure an HTTP request for creating an API Token for another user had sufficient permission to do so.
Precondition for successful exploitation was a preexisting internal user (with more privileges than the attacker), the attacker knowing its login name and the attacker being able to authenticate to the Dashboard via OAuth/OIDC. The attacker would then have had to forge a token creation API request on behalf of the other user and could have authenticated and finalized the token creation with their own OAuth/OIDC credentials. In the worst case, this would mean an attacker could have become Dashboard Administrator and been able to perform all administrative actions if the preexisting internal user had administrative privileges. In combination with a separate weakness, this could have further led to code execution on the host system running the Dashboard with the privileges of the OS-User running the Dashboard server.
Executive ViewAI
The Qt Axivion Dashboard contains a critical privilege escalation vulnerability (CVE-2026-12593, CVSS 8.7) that allows authenticated users to forge API tokens for higher-privileged accounts, potentially granting Dashboard Administrator rights and enabling host-level code execution. Organizations using Axivion Dashboard face immediate risk if administrative access is compromised. This vulnerability requires active remediation and operational controls pending vendor patch availability.
Within 24 hours: Inventory all Qt Axivion Dashboard deployments and confirm current version; review access logs for the /api/users/~/{user}/tokens endpoint for suspicious activity; restrict network access to the Dashboard to trusted internal networks only. Within 7 days: Implement request logging and alerting on all API token creation endpoints; rotate all existing API tokens for administrative accounts as a precaution; disable OAuth/OIDC integrations if they are not operationally required. Within 30 days: Establish a process to apply the vendor patch immediately upon release; consider architectural changes to isolate Dashboard from sensitive production systems.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Enforce multi-factor authentication on all Dashboard user accounts; (2) Restrict OAuth/OIDC login to a whitelist of authorized administrators only; (3) Implement network segmentation to limit Dashboard exposure to trusted internal subnets; (4) Monitor and alert on all API token creation and rotation events; (5) Disable programmatic API access for administrative accounts where operationally feasible; (6) Maintain immutable audit logs of all authentication and token operations; (7) Implement strict role-based access control (RBAC) enforcement at the application layer.
