CVE-2026-85953
HighCVSS 8.5Summary
Progress MarkLogic Server 12.x releases before 12.1.0 and 11.x releases before 11.3.7 contain privileged legacy InfoStudio modules that do not sufficiently validate user-controlled file paths and user-context values. Exploitation could result in unauthorized access to server files or execution under an unintended identity.
Risk Assessment
The risk includes unauthorized access to server files and the possibility of executing operations under a different identity, potentially leading to security compromise.
Recommendation
Upgrade MarkLogic Server to version 12.1.0 or 11.3.7 (or later) and implement validation of paths and user context in InfoStudio modules.
