{"id":"CVE-2026-77226","published":"2026-10-05T21:16:37.337","lastModified":"2026-10-07T17:17:02.300","description":"Camunda 7.24.0 before 7.24.15 contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability in the Admin web application's first-run setup endpoint, where SetupResource incorrectly determines setup availability by counting only direct members of the camunda-admin group rather than recognizing all configured administrators. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this logic flaw to call the setup user-create endpoint and create a new administrator account when the camunda-admin group is empty but the system is fully administered, resulting in account takeover and potential process deployment or script execution as the engine's service user.","cvssScore":8.1,"cvssSeverity":"HIGH","cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","cwes":["CWE-863"],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://codeant.ai/security-research/camunda-empty-admin-group-cve-2026-77226","tags":[]},{"url":"https://docs.camunda.org/enterprise/download/","tags":[]},{"url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/camunda-incorrect-authorization-via-setupresource-endpoint","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[],"hasPoc":false,"ai":{"summary":"The flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to create a new administrator account by exploiting an incorrect authorization vulnerability in the Admin web application's first-run setup endpoint.","exploitability":"Exploitation is relatively straightforward if the camunda-admin group is empty but the system is fully administered.
