CVE-2026-85953Hinoki check available

File access and impersonation via unchecked module inputs

Published Oct 12, 2026 · Updated Oct 12, 2026

Path validation flaws in Progress MarkLogic Server InfoStudio allow attackers to access server files via crafted file paths. Privileged legacy modules in releases before 11.3.7 in the 11 branch and before 12.1.0 in the 12 branch inadequately validate file paths and user-context values, enabling unauthorized file access or execution under an unintended identity. Required caller privileges and specific vulnerable functions are not disclosed in the retrieved public material.
