CVE-2026-8079Network attack vector

Authenticated cross-user actions via crafted PDF request

Published Jul 2, 2026 · Updated Jul 2, 2026

Incorrect authorization in Progress Flowmon before 12.5.9 and 13.0.11 allows remote authenticated users to perform cross-user actions. The PDF generation workflow accepts a crafted request from one account and performs a limited set of operations under another user's authorization context; Progress has not disclosed the affected endpoint or validation error. A low-privileged GUI account is required, and successful exploitation exposes sensitive data and permits unintended system configuration changes.
