Exploitation Conditions

Requires a valid authenticated Yeti account with at least read access (PR:L) and network reachability to the API. Exploitation targets the DELETE /api/v2/rbac/{id} endpoint, which omits any caller-permission check, letting the account delete RBAC relationships it does not own. Limiting factors: an account is mandatory (no unauthenticated path), impact is confined to authorization integrity and availability (deleting/ revoking grants and locking owners out) with no data confidentiality loss, and only multi-user Yeti deployments with RBAC-managed objects are meaningfully at risk. Affects all versions of Yeti from 0 through 2.11.0.

Impact

Genuine but bounded risk. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:H) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw that requires low-privilege authentication (PR:L) - an existing Yeti account with only read access. This is a CWE-862 missing-authorization broken-access-control bug, not remote code execution: confidentiality impact is explicitly none (VC:N), while integrity and availability are high (VI:H/VA:H) because an attacker can delete RBAC relationships and permanently lock legitimate owners out of objects. There is no EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, so exploitation is not confirmed in the wild - this reads as a real integrity/availability priority for anyone running a multi-user Yeti instance, but not an internet-wide mass-exploitation event. The PR:L requirement (a valid low-trust insider or a compromised read-only account) is the key limiter that keeps this below the 'drop everything' tier. Note the vendor supplied only a CVSS 4.0 vector; no CVSS 3.1 or SSVC decision data was provided, and the input's 7.2 aligns with the 4.0 vector.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A low-privilege Yeti user (or an attacker who has phished a read-only analyst account) calls DELETE /api/v2/rbac/{id} against an access-control relationship they do not own. Because the endpoint never validates the caller's permissions, the request succeeds and revokes the true owner's grant, permanently locking the owner out of the object. No public proof-of-concept is identified, but the flaw is a single unauthorized API call and trivially reproducible.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 16, 2026

Authenticated users with only read access can delete RBAC relationships in Yeti through 2.11.0, revoking owner grants and locking legitimate owners out of objects. The flaw resides in the DELETE /api/v2/rbac/{id} endpoint, which omits a caller-permission check (CWE-862). No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis; the assessed CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H) indicates high integrity and availability impact with no confidentiality loss, consistent with a genuine but bounded risk.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Until a fixed version is available, apply compensating controls: (1) Restrict access to the DELETE /api/v2/rbac/{id} endpoint using a reverse proxy rule (e.g., Nginx location block) that allows only administrative users or trusted IP ranges - trade-off: legitimate read-only users lose the ability to delete their own RBAC relationships. (2) Implement a temporary authorization check in core/web/apiv2/rbac.py at the vulnerable endpoint to verify the caller has admin privileges before processing the deletion - this requires code modification but directly addresses CWE-862. (3) Monitor API logs for DELETE requests to /api/v2/rbac/ and alert on unexpected deletions. (4) Ensure regular backups of RBAC configuration so that deleted relationships can be restored. Refer to the GitHub issue #1349 and the VulnCheck advisory for updates.

Technical ContextAI · show details

CVE-2026-92783 is a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in the Yeti threat intelligence platform, a Python-based application for managing cyber threat data. The affected component is the REST API endpoint DELETE /api/v2/rbac/{id}, implemented in core/web/apiv2/rbac.py (references point to lines 110-116 and 52-53 of version 2.5.1). The endpoint fails to validate whether the requesting user has the necessary permissions to delete an RBAC relationship; any authenticated account with at least read access (PR:L) can invoke it. RBAC relationships in Yeti connect users or groups to objects with specific permissions (e.g., owner grants). Deleting these relationships can revoke an owner's grant, effectively locking the legitimate owner out of the object. The vulnerability affects all versions of Yeti from 0 through 2.11.0, as reflected by CPE cpe:2.3:a:yeti-platform:yeti:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* and EUVD-2026-81046. The attack is network-based (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction (UI:N); impact is limited to integrity and availability (I:H/A:H) with no confidentiality loss (C:N).

DescriptionCVE.org

Yeti through 2.11.0 fails to validate caller permissions in the DELETE /api/v2/rbac/{id} endpoint, allowing users with read access to delete access control relationships. Attackers can revoke the owner's grant and permanently lock legitimate owners out of objects.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Yeti's access control mechanism contains a high-severity flaw that allows authenticated users with only read privileges to delete RBAC relationships, revoking ownership and locking legitimate owners out of objects. This can disrupt critical security operations that rely on Yeti for threat intelligence management, leading to potential data governance failures and operational downtime. With no vendor patch currently available, organizations must take immediate steps to mitigate the risk.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include blocking or restricting access to the DELETE /api/v2/rbac/{id} endpoint at the network or API gateway level, enforcing strict role-based access controls to limit the ability to modify RBAC relationships, enabling detailed audit logging and real-time alerting for all RBAC changes, and applying the principle of least privilege to all authenticated users.
