CVE-2026-41424
HighCVSS 8.2Summary
Wazuh from 4.9.0 to 4.10.4 and 4.14.6 has a vulnerability in PUT /security/users/{user_id} in api/api/controllers/security_controller.py that passes request.get("user") instead of request.context['token_info']['sub'] as current_user. remove_nones_to_dict() removes the resulting None value, so the reserved-account protection in framework/wazuh/security.py cannot verify who is making the request. An authenticated user with the users_admin role can overwrite the password of protected administrator accounts with user IDs at or below 99, including the wazuh superuser, and gain full administrative control. This issue is fixed in versions 4.10.4 and 4.14.6.
Risk Assessment
An authenticated user with the users_admin role can take over administrator accounts, including the superuser, leading to full compromise of the Wazuh system.
Recommendation
Upgrade Wazuh to version 4.10.4 or 4.14.6 to remediate the vulnerability.
