{"apiVersion":"1.0","identifier":"CVE-2026-44252","description":"Wazuh is a free and open source platform used for threat prevention, detection, and response. From 4.0.0 until 4.14.5, Wazuh Manager allows a low-privilege read-only API user with manager:read permission to retrieve the cluster key from the element in ossec.conf through GET /manager/configuration?raw=true. An attacker with network access to TCP port 1516 can use the disclosed Fernet key to impersonate a cluster worker and submit distributed API requests containing attacker-controlled rbac_permissions with rbac_mode set to black. Because the master trusts the worker-supplied authorization context, the attacker can create users, assign administrator roles, access credentials and API tokens, modify configuration, and execute actions across agents. This issue is fixed in version 4.14.5.","publishedAt":"2026-08-19T16:17:10","lastModifiedAt":"2026-08-21T20:16:35","sourceUrl":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-44252","cvssScore":7.7,"cvssVector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/MVI:X/MVA:X/MSC:X/MSI:X/MSA:X/S:X/AU:X/R:X/V:X/RE:X/U:X","epssProbability":0.00314,"riskScore":0.79,"affectedProduct":"Wazuh","affectedVersions":">=4.0.0,<4.14.5","vulnerabilityType":"Critical software","operatingSystems":[],"links":{"self":"https://www.redsauce.net/api/cves/CVE-2026-44252","webPages":{"es":"https://www.redsauce.net/es/cves/CVE-2026-44252","en":"https://www.redsauce.net/en/cves/CVE-2026-44252","fr":"https://www.redsauce.net/fr/cves/CVE-2026-44252","pt":"https://www.redsauce.net/pt/cves/CVE-2026-44252","de":"https://www.redsauce.net/de/cves/CVE-2026-44252","sk":"https://www.redsauce.net/sk/cves/CVE-2026-44252","el":"https://www.redsauce.net/el/cves/CVE-2026-44252"},"source":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-44252"}}
