MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a valid, authenticated user account on the targeted TeamViewer DEX (On-Premises) instance assigned a low-privilege role - administrative credentials are not needed. The target system must be running any version below 9.2. The attack is conducted over the network (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L) and requires no user interaction (UI:N). The primary limiting factor is PR:L: the attacker must already possess valid platform credentials, which eliminates unauthenticated external threat actors. The vulnerability is scoped explicitly to on-premises deployments; cloud-hosted variants are not referenced in available data. No specific non-default configuration is required - the authorization flaw is present in a standard deployment of affected versions. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N yields a score of 5.4 (Medium). Attack vector is Network and complexity is Low with no user interaction required, meaning exploitation is technically straightforward once credentials are held. The PR:L (low privilege required) is the primary limiting factor, ruling out unauthenticated external attackers. Scope is Unchanged (S:U), indicating the vulnerability does not break out of the affected component's security context, and both Confidentiality and Integrity impacts are rated Low - suggesting partial unauthorized read/write access rather than full administrative takeover. No EPSS data was provided in the source intelligence, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified numerically. No CISA KEV listing exists, meaning widespread active exploitation has not been confirmed by a government-tier source. Taken together, this is a moderate real-world priority: lower urgency than a pre-auth critical, but elevated in environments with large user populations, shared credentials, or insider-threat exposure models. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker holding any valid low-privileged account on an unpatched TeamViewer DEX On-Premises instance crafts authenticated HTTP requests directly targeting administrative or sensitive backend API endpoints that omit authorization checks. Because the flaw requires only a standard user credential and no special platform configuration, the attacker can enumerate and invoke privileged operations - such as reading sensitive user records or modifying platform configuration - that are intended to be restricted to administrative roles. No public proof-of-concept code has been identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity (AC:L) means exploitation requires minimal technical sophistication beyond knowledge of the affected endpoint paths. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – May 22, 2026
Broken access control in TeamViewer DEX Platform (On-Premises) before version 9.2 allows authenticated low-privileged users to invoke administrative API endpoints and access sensitive resources outside their authorized scope. The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) - backend API endpoints omit proper role-based authorization checks despite confirming user identity. No public exploit code has been identified and this CVE is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog at time of analysis, but the network-accessible attack vector and low complexity make exploitation straightforward for any user holding valid platform credentials.
RemediationAI
Upgrade TeamViewer DEX Platform (On-Premises) to version 9.2 or later, which is the vendor-confirmed fix release per advisory TV-2026-1005 at https://www.teamviewer.com/en/resources/trust-center/security-bulletins/tv-2026-1005/. If immediate patching is not operationally feasible, restrict access to the DEX administrative API endpoints at the network perimeter using firewall rules that limit API reachability to trusted IP ranges or dedicated administrative networks, reducing the pool of potential authenticated attackers. Additionally, audit and minimize the number of active low-privileged accounts on the platform, and enable API access logging to detect anomalous calls to high-privilege endpoints as a compensating detective control. Network segmentation does not remediate the underlying CWE-862 authorization flaw and must be treated as a temporary measure only; patching to 9.2 remains the required remediation.

Technical ContextAI · show details
TeamViewer DEX is an on-premises digital employee experience platform with a backend API layer. CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) describes a pattern where code performs authentication - confirming the user's identity - but skips or incorrectly implements the authorization step that enforces what that identity is permitted to do. The affected component is the backend API surface, where certain endpoints expose administrative or sensitive operations without checking the caller's role. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:teamviewer:dex_(on-premises):*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering all versions from 0 up to (but not including) 9.2 as cataloged by ENISA EUVD-2026-31420 and the vendor's own advisory TV-2026-1005. The tag 'Authentication Bypass' aligns with the practical effect: a user authenticated at a low-privilege tier can bypass intended role boundaries.

Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
A broken access control vulnerability exists in the TeamViewer DEX Platform (On‑Premises) prior version 9.2. Certain backend API endpoints do not correctly enforce authorization checks, allowing an authenticated user with low privileges to perform actions and access resources intended only for higher‑privileged roles. An attacker with low‑privileged credentials may exploit this to gain unauthorized access to administrative or sensitive functionality.
