CVE-2026-90450Incorrect 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.

No exploitation reported and no EPSS estimate yet.

The application's role-authorization lookup defaults to granting access when a request handler's name is not present in its table of role requirements, rather than defaulting to deny. Any request handler that is not explicitly registered in this table is reachable by any authenticated user regardless of their assigned role, and any newly added handler is fail-open by default until explicitly added to the table.
