CVE-2026-5712Network attack vector

Unauthorized role modification via missing capability check

Published Apr 29, 2026 · Updated Apr 29, 2026

Incorrect authorization in SailPoint IdentityIQ before 8.3p5, 8.4p4, or 8.5p2 allows remote authenticated users to alter role definitions. The Role Editor permits a work item's requestor or assignee to save role-definition changes without enforcing the capability required for role editing. Reachability requires an authenticated requestor or assignee and user interaction; successful exploitation permits unauthorized role changes.
