Unauthenticated privilege changes via API bypass
Published Sep 8, 2026 · Updated Sep 9, 2026
Authentication bypass in the Commvault Cloud Command Center API allows remote attackers to alter privilege management without credentials. Commvault has not disclosed which API handler or authentication decision accepts the unauthenticated request. Network reachability to the API is sufficient; successful abuse grants unauthorized privileges with access to protected data and service operations.
