Title
Incorrect authorization in Smart Polling configuration in Guardian/CMC before 26.3.0
Summary
An access control vulnerability was discovered in the Smart Polling configuration functionality due to insufficient validation of user privileges. An authenticated user with limited privileges can remotely bypass the intended access control of the web management interface and modify the Smart Polling discovery configuration. This allows the attacker to disrupt the visibility of assets in the monitored network.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
