| Impact | CVSS 5.8 (Medium) with vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C reflects a remote but difficult attack requiring high-privilege credentials, yet delivering integrity impact across organization boundaries (S:C scope change). The CVSS score appropriately captures the severity: while attack complexity is high and privilege requirement is high, the scope change from confidentiality/integrity perspective is notable in a multi-tenant platform context. Real-world risk depends heavily on deployment context: in environments where administrative role separation is strictly enforced as a security boundary, a malicious or compromised admin account could create unauthorized users in other organizations, potentially leading to lateral movement, data access, or organizational impersonation. However, this requires pre-existing high-privilege compromise, limiting the attack surface. No public exploit code has been identified, and there is no indication of active exploitation (no CISA KEV status provided). The vulnerability is most critical for organizations relying on runZero's multi-tenancy as a security isolation mechanism. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A malicious or compromised administrator with high-privilege credentials in Organization A could exploit this vulnerability to create or modify users in Organization B without proper authorization checks. For example, an attacker with admin access could programmatically call the user management API to add themselves as an administrator to a competing or sensitive organization within the same runZero Platform instance, gaining full control of that organization's network asset visibility and data. The attack requires network access to the platform and valid high-privilege credentials, but no user interaction is needed once those credentials are obtained. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Apr 07, 2026
runZero Platform allows high-privileged administrators to create and update users outside their authorized organization scope due to improper authorization checks, enabling privilege escalation and cross-organizational user manipulation. Versions prior to 4.0.260203.0 are affected. The vulnerability requires high-privilege authentication but can impact multiple organizations within a multi-tenant deployment, making it a significant risk for runZero deployments where administrative role separation is enforced.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Upgrade to runZero Platform version 4.0.260203.0 or later. Organizations should prioritize this patch in environments where multiple organizations or tenants are managed through a single runZero Platform instance, as the authorization bypass directly impacts multi-tenant isolation. Refer to the official runZero advisory at https://www.runzero.com/advisories/runzero-platform-user-creation-leak-cve-2026-5378/ and release notes at https://help.runzero.com/docs/release-notes/#402602030 for upgrade instructions. Until patched, restrict administrative account access to trusted personnel and monitor user creation/update logs for anomalies.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The runZero Platform implements a multi-tenant architecture with per-organization administrative boundaries. The vulnerability stems from CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization), where user creation and update operations fail to properly validate whether the authenticated administrator holds authorization scope over the target organization. This represents a classic authorization bypass in a role-based access control (RBAC) system, where the application authenticates the admin user but fails to enforce organization-level boundaries on sensitive administrative operations. Affected versions of the runZero Platform (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:runzero:platform:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) prior to 4.0.260203.0 contain this flaw in their user management API or administrative interface.
