CVE-2026-61790Network attack vectorHinoki check available

Global permission access via missing 2FA enforcement

Published Aug 26, 2026 · Updated Aug 26, 2026

Improper access control in Weblate before 2026.7 allows remote authenticated users to exercise team-granted global permissions without 2FA. The global-permission resolution path applies a team's permissions without checking its enforced_2fa flag against the member's configured second factor, although scoped permission paths perform that check. Exploitation requires membership in a 2FA-enforcing team that grants a global permission; resulting access is limited to that permission, which can include /manage/.
