FKIE_CVE-2026-85971

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-10-12 17:17 - Updated: 2026-10-12 17:17
Severity
7.1 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N
Summary
Progress MarkLogic Server 12.x releases before 12.1.0 and 11.x releases before 11.3.7 assign overly permissive operating-system permissions to certain log files, which could allow a local user to read or alter log data. The corrected default permissions apply to newly created and rotated logs; existing logs retain their current permissions until remediated.
