CVE-2026-66014Network attack vector

Authenticated privilege escalation via HA authentication fail-open

Published Jul 27, 2026 · Updated Jul 27, 2026

Improper authentication in JFrog Artifactory affected releases allows remote authenticated users to gain elevated privileges. During HA request processing, internal authentication fails open and assigns privileges beyond the caller's intended access when authentication cannot complete. Exploitation requires authenticated network access and the affected HA request path; JFrog has not published the triggering request conditions or exact privilege level obtained.
