Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
Consul and Consul Enterprise are vulnerable to an authorization bypass in the catalog deregistration path that may allow a local ACL token to delete peer-imported catalog objects. A caller with {{service:write}} or {{node:write}} permission may exploit this issue to remove services, checks, or nodes imported from a peered cluster without holding authority over the peer origin. This vulnerability (CVE-2026-87107) is fixed in Consul 2.0.4 and Consul Enterprise 1.21.18, 1.22.12 and 2.0.4.
AnalysisAI
Authorization bypass in Consul's catalog deregistration path allows authenticated low-privileged callers to delete services, checks, or nodes that were imported from a peered cluster without holding authority over that peer origin. Affecting Consul through 2.0.3 and Consul Enterprise through 1.21.17/1.22.11/2.0.3, any ACL token holder with service:write or node:write permissions can exploit the missing peer-origin authority check (CWE-863) to disrupt service discovery across cluster peering relationships. …
