CVE-2026-85954
HighCVSS 8.6Summary
Progress MarkLogic Server 12.x releases before 12.1.0 and 11.x releases before 11.3.7 can evaluate user-controlled values supplied to certain higher-order XQuery functions in an elevated security context, which could result in privilege escalation beyond the attacker's granted permissions.
Risk Assessment
The risk includes privilege escalation, potentially leading to unauthorized access to data and administrative operations.
Recommendation
Upgrade MarkLogic Server to version 12.1.0 or 11.3.7 (or later) and restrict access to higher-order XQuery functions.
