Remote code execution in Progress Software WhatsUp Gold (all versions before 2026.0.2) allows unauthenticated attackers with adjacent network access to invoke a critical function exposed without authentication (CWE-306), executing arbitrary code as the IIS application service account. The CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8 with PR:N and UI:N confirms zero-credential, zero-interaction exploitation against all pre-patch deployments. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but a vendor patch is available in version 2026.0.2 per the August 2026 security bulletin.
Persistent cross-site scripting in Progress Software's WhatsUp Gold network monitoring platform (all versions before 2026.0.2) allows an authenticated attacker on an adjacent network to bypass frontend input sanitization controls and inject stored malicious script content into the application. When a victim user - likely an administrator - views the poisoned page, the injected script executes in their browser context, enabling session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized actions with the victim's privilege level. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the adjacent-network attack vector limits internet-scale exposure, but the high C/I/A impact scores reflect the sensitivity of network monitoring credentials.
Server-side request forgery in Progress MarkLogic Server before 11.3.6 and 12.0.3 enables authenticated low-privileged users to bypass existing IMDS protection filters, causing the server to fetch cloud instance metadata endpoints (e.g., AWS IMDSv1 at 169.254.169.254). Successful exploitation yields temporary cloud IAM credentials, extending attacker reach to all cloud resources accessible by the host instance's IAM role. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis; however, the Scope:Changed CVSS metric and credential-theft impact elevate operational priority significantly for cloud-hosted deployments.
Stored/reflected cross-site scripting in the Query Console of Progress MarkLogic Server (versions before 11.3.6 and 12.0.3) lets a remote, unauthenticated attacker execute arbitrary JavaScript in the browser of an authenticated administrator who is lured to a crafted URL. Because the payload runs with the admin's authenticated session, it can harvest credentials/session tokens and perform privileged database and configuration actions on the admin's behalf. Rated CVSS 9.3 (scope-changed); no public exploit identified at time of analysis and not listed in CISA KEV.
Privilege escalation in Progress MarkLogic Server (versions before 11.3.6 and 12.0.3) lets an authenticated user holding only a low-privileged Hadoop integration role break out of that role and perform privileged operations against the internal Security database, effectively enabling full control over authentication and authorization data. Rated CVSS 9.9 with a changed scope, the flaw turns a minimal Hadoop-connector account into an administrative foothold. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Authentication bypass in the ODBC App Server of Progress MarkLogic Server (before 11.3.6 and 12.0.3) lets an unauthenticated remote attacker circumvent password verification and run queries as any named user, including administrators. Because impersonation extends to admin-level accounts, an attacker gains full read/write control over the database and its data. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but the CVSS 9.8 rating and admin-impersonation impact make this a critical, network-reachable flaw.
HTTP request smuggling in Progress MarkLogic Server's HTTP App Server (versions before 11.3.6 and 12.0.3) lets a remote attacker desynchronize request parsing between a fronting reverse proxy and MarkLogic, enabling authentication/authorization bypass, session hijacking, and credential capture. The flaw is exploitable over the network without authentication (PR:N) and carries a critical 9.1 CVSS with high confidentiality and integrity impact. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV; no EPSS score was supplied.
Privilege escalation in Progress MarkLogic Server before 11.3.6 and 12.0.3 allows an authenticated user holding only a low-privileged REST role to abuse the REST API document patch operation, gaining the ability to run privileged operations against the internal Security database and effectively take over authorization data. Rated CVSS 9.9 with a changed scope, it is exploitable by any low-privileged REST account over the network. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but the low attack complexity and minimal privilege requirement make it a high-priority patch.
Authentication bypass in Progress MarkLogic Server (versions before 11.3.6 and 12.0.3) lets an unauthenticated remote attacker forge SAML assertions and impersonate any user, including administrators, on deployments where SAML single sign-on is enabled. The flaw stems from improper cryptographic signature verification (CWE-347) in the SAML authentication module, yielding full identity spoofing over the network with low complexity and no user interaction. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV, but the 9.1 CVSS and pre-authentication admin impersonation make it a high-priority patch.
Privilege escalation in Progress MarkLogic Server before 11.3.6 and 12.0.3 lets an authenticated user holding only a low-privileged REST role elevate to administrator through the SQL, SPARQL, and Optic REST query interfaces, after which they can run privileged operations and read data they were never authorized to see. The flaw is remotely reachable and requires only valid low-tier credentials, driving a critical 9.9 CVSS score. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Privilege escalation in Progress MarkLogic Server's REST API document processing pipeline allows an authenticated user holding an administrative REST role to elevate their access to a higher privilege level, resulting in unauthorized disclosure of sensitive server-side data. Affected versions span both the 11.x and 12.x release trains, patched in 11.3.6 and 12.0.3 respectively per the vendor's August 2026 critical security bulletin. No public exploit code has been identified and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, though the scope change (S:C) and high confidentiality and integrity impact in the CVSS vector underscore meaningful post-exploitation consequence within the MarkLogic environment.
Cross-site request forgery in the Progress MarkLogic Server Admin UI allows a remote attacker to perform privileged administrative actions on behalf of a logged-in administrator by luring them to a crafted malicious webpage. Affected versions span the 11.x line prior to 11.3.6 and the 12.x line prior to 12.0.3, covering deployments across both active release trains. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified; Progress Software has issued patches for both branches.
Arbitrary file write in Progress Software's WhatsUp Gold (all versions before 2026.0.2) enables a privileged attacker with adjacent network access to place attacker-controlled files in web-accessible directories on the host server - a primitive that commonly leads to web shell deployment and subsequent unauthenticated remote code execution via HTTP. Exploitation is constrained by both a high-privilege credential requirement and an adjacent-network attack vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:A/PR:H), substantially narrowing the practical attack surface compared to the full C:H/I:H/A:H impact triad would suggest. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis; a vendor-released patch is confirmed available in version 2026.0.2.
WhatsUp Gold versions before 2026.0.2 allow a privileged attacker to configure a LogToFile action with an arbitrary file extension, enabling placement of server-executable files (e.g., .aspx web shells) directly within the IIS web root directory. Progress Software confirmed the issue and released a patch in version 2026.0.2, documented in the August 2026 security bulletin. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but the high CIA impact combined with the adjacent-network vector makes this a material insider threat and post-compromise persistence risk.
Improper authorization in WhatsUp Gold's Scheduled Reports API allows any authenticated user to invoke actions that should be restricted to privileged roles. Affecting all versions prior to 2026.0.2, the flaw (CWE-862, Missing Authorization) means the API enforces authentication but performs no role-based access check on sensitive operations, enabling horizontal or vertical privilege escalation within the application. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and a vendor-released patch is available as of version 2026.0.2.
Progress OpenEdge 12.2.0-12.2.18 and 12.8.0-12.8.9 expose stored passwords and secrets to decryption through cryptographically weak OECH1 prefix encoding. Remote unauthenticated attackers can exploit this weakness to recover obfuscated credentials and sensitive data (CVSS 9.1, VC:H/VI:H). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the vulnerability is automatable with total technical impact per SSVC framework, making credential harvesting straightforward once encoding is accessed.
Progress OpenEdge AdminServer exposes authenticated RMI methods allowing arbitrary file reads with escalated OS privileges across versions 12.2.0-12.2.18. Authenticated administrators can abuse setFile() and openFile() RMI methods to read sensitive files beyond their intended access level, leveraging the AdminServer process's elevated system permissions. EPSS data not available; no CISA KEV listing indicates no confirmed active exploitation, though SSVC marks exploitation status as 'none' with partial technical impact. The vulnerable methods have been removed in patched versions.
