CVE-2025-59790Network attack vector

Authenticated privilege escalation via RESET command

Published Nov 28, 2025 · Updated Nov 28, 2025

Privilege escalation in Apache Kvrocks 2.9.0 through 2.13.0 allows remote authenticated users to gain administrator privileges via RESET. The RESET handler converts a namespace-authenticated connection to the administrative role without requiring the administrator token. A valid namespace token and network access are required; the elevated session can invoke administrator-only commands across namespace boundaries.
