CVE-2026-107333Incorrect Authorization in Malcolm

Updated under an hour ago ()

Does this affect you?

It affects CISA Malcolm. Add what you run to find out whether that includes you.

EPSS puts the chance of exploitation in the next 30 days at 0.98%, higher than 61% of scored CVEs.

Malcolm's nginx based reverse proxy contains a URL path normalization inconsistency between its Lua based role-based access control (RBAC) authorization layer and nginx's own request routing logic. An authenticated user can craft a specially formatted request path to bypass role-based restrictions and reach administrative or role gated endpoints they should not have access to. This affects all restricted paths protected by the RBAC authorization layer, including file upload, PHP server, htadmin, and authentication management interfaces.
