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 session with at minimum low-privileged access to the MCO platform (PR:L per CVSS 4.0 vector). The vulnerable endpoint is directly accessible over the network with no additional non-default configuration required (AV:N, AC:L, AT:N). Unauthenticated exploitation is not possible - an attacker must possess or compromise a valid MCO user account. No specific feature flag, deployment mode, or platform configuration is required beyond a working MCO instance with user accounts enabled. The impact is bounded to read-only disclosure of ACL tree structure data; no write, deletion, or availability impact has been demonstrated. The requirement for an existing account limits opportunistic external exploitation but does not protect against insider threats or accounts compromised via other means. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.3 (Medium) is well-supported by the available signals: AV:N (network reachable), AC:L (no special conditions), PR:L (requires a valid low-privilege account), and VC:L (low confidentiality impact limited to ACL structure data). There is no integrity or availability component. No EPSS score was provided in the input data, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV and no public exploit code has been identified. The practical risk is elevated beyond the raw score in regulated-industry deployments where MCO is used: ACL tree data exposes role structures and permission mappings that an insider threat or compromised low-privilege account could use to identify high-value administrator targets or map escalation paths. The primary limiting factor is the authentication prerequisite - unauthenticated exploitation is not possible. The wildcard CPE and unsuccessful vendor contact introduce version-scope uncertainty that complicates fleet-wide impact assessment. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 01, 2026
MCO's compliance management platform exposes administrator ACL tree structures to any authenticated low-privileged user via a missing authorization check on the /customer/servlet/mco/webapi/admin-view-hierarchy/get-acl-tree-structure web API endpoint. Confirmed by CERT-PL in version 25.3.3.1, the flaw allows low-privileged users to retrieve permission hierarchies and internal configuration details intended only for administrators. No active exploitation has been identified, no public exploit code exists, and vendor contact attempts were unsuccessful, leaving the patch timeline and full version impact unresolved.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis due to unsuccessful vendor contact attempts by CERT-PL. As a compensating control, restrict network access to the /customer/servlet/mco/webapi/admin-view-hierarchy/get-acl-tree-structure endpoint at the WAF or reverse proxy layer to trusted administrative source IP ranges only - note this may disrupt legitimate admin workflows if admins access from general corporate IP space. Additionally, audit existing access logs for prior unauthorized queries to this endpoint to assess historical exposure. Monitor the vendor advisory page at https://mco.mycomplianceoffice.com/ and the CERT-PL advisory at https://cert.pl/en/posts/2026/07/CVE-2026-53902 for patch availability. Until patched, review and minimize the set of active low-privileged user accounts to reduce the attack surface.

Technical ContextAI · show details
MCO (MyComplianceOffice) is a compliance management SaaS platform (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:mycomplianceoffice:mco:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). The vulnerable endpoint /customer/servlet/mco/webapi/admin-view-hierarchy/get-acl-tree-structure is a REST web API designed to return Access Control List tree structures - hierarchical data models that define role and permission assignments across the platform's administrative hierarchy. CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization) describes a flaw where an authorization check is either absent or improperly implemented, allowing a less-privileged principal to access a resource gated for a higher-privileged role. In this case, the server processes the request from a low-privileged authenticated user without validating that the caller holds administrator-level authorization, returning sensitive ACL data including permission mappings and internal configuration details that could be leveraged to understand the platform's administrative structure.

DescriptionCVE.org
MCO does not properly enforce authorization checks in the /customer/servlet/mco/webapi/admin-view-hierarchy/get-acl-tree-structure endpoint. An authenticated, low-privileged user can retrieve administrator access control structures without proper authorization checks. This may expose sensitive permission mappings and internal configuration details.
Because vendor contact attempts were unsuccessful, the vulnerability has only been confirmed in version 25.3.3.1 but may also affect other versions.
