Perforce P4 Search vulnerabilities

Perforce P4 Search prior to 2026.4.2 trusts a client-supplied address when validating certain authentication requests. An attacker holding a stolen P4 Server ticket can bypass host-based ticket restrictions and trusted-address controls, gaining access to P4 Search as the ticket's owner.

Perforce P4 Search prior to 2026.4.2 does not validate file names supplied to its extension installation feature. An attacker with super-user or service-token privileges can write files with arbitrary content to the P4 Search installation directory.

Perforce P4 Search prior to 2026.4.2 does not restrict file paths written through its logging configuration interface. An attacker holding the service authentication token can write arbitrary files on the host, potentially leading to code execution as the P4 Search service account.
