CVE detail

CVE-2026-23526

CVAT is an open source interactive video and image annotation tool for computer vision. In versions 1.0.0 through 2.54.0, users that have the staff status may freely change their permissions, including giving themselves superuser status and joining the admin group, which gives them full access to the data in the CVAT instance. Version 2.55.0 fixes the issue. As a workaround, review the list of users with staff status and revoke it from any users that are not expected to have superuser privileges.

External lookup

Potential internet exposure

Potential exposure only — not proof of vulnerability.Shodan results indicate potentially internet-exposed products, not confirmed vulnerable systems. They do not confirm that any returned system is vulnerable to CVE-2026-23526.

Product-level CPE searches intentionally omit version fields and NVD version-range or configuration certainty. Verify the exact product version and configuration independently.

Sign-in required. Shodan requires you to sign in to run these filter searches.

How this vector reads

CVSS 4.0 base metrics decoded below. This explanation does not recalculate or change the NVD score.

Attack Vector (AV): Network. The vulnerable system can be reached across network boundaries.
Attack Complexity (AC): Low. No special conditions beyond the attacker-controlled steps are required.
Attack Requirements (AT): None. No prerequisite deployment or execution condition is required.
Privileges Required (PR): High. The attacker needs significant administrative privileges.
User Interaction (UI): None. Exploitation does not require a targeted user to act.
Vulnerable System Confidentiality (VC): High. There is a total or serious impact to this security property.
Vulnerable System Integrity (VI): High. There is a total or serious impact to this security property.
Vulnerable System Availability (VA): None. There is no direct impact to this security property.
Subsequent System Confidentiality (SC): None. There is no direct impact to this security property.
Subsequent System Integrity (SI): None. There is no direct impact to this security property.
Subsequent System Availability (SA): None. There is no direct impact to this security property.

Optional CVSS v4 metrics remain in the raw vector; only base metrics are expanded here.
