CVE-2025-46296Network attack vector

Restricted administrative access via missing privilege enforcement

Published Dec 16, 2025 · Updated Dec 16, 2025

Improper authorization in Claris FileMaker Server before 22.0.4 allows remote authenticated users to access restricted Admin Console features. The Admin Console fails to enforce administrator-role privilege boundaries when minimally privileged roles request license details or application-log downloads; Claris has not disclosed the affected handler or authorization check. A minimally privileged administrator account is required, and exposure is limited to administrative data and features permitted by the bypass.
