CVE-2026-85959Network attack vectorHinoki check available

Reduced visibility via missing authentication audit records

Published Oct 12, 2026 · Updated Oct 12, 2026

Insufficient logging in Progress MarkLogic Server allows attackers to obscure successful sign-ins through missing audit records. The audit path in the 11.x series before 11.3.7 and the 12.x series before 12.1.0 inconsistently records successful authentication events; the failing code path is undisclosed. The disclosed consequence is reduced visibility into unauthorized access or credential misuse after successful authentication, while the circumstances that trigger an omission are not public.
