CVE-2026-9191

Progress MarkLogic Server 12.x releases before 12.1.0 and 11.x releases before 11.3.7 allow a remote attacker with delegated database-administrator privileges to perform backup or restore operations on forests outside the authorized database scope, which could result in unauthorized access to or modification of security-critical data.

Progress MarkLogic Server 12.x releases before 12.1.0 and 11.x releases before 11.3.7 allow a remote attacker with query-execution access to invoke an XQuery evaluation function without the additional required evaluation privilege, which could result in server-side code execution with elevated permissions.

Progress MarkLogic Server 12.x releases before 12.1.0 and 11.x releases before 11.3.7 contain an XQuery injection flaw in a deprecated Management API package path. A remote attacker with manage-user-level privileges could exploit this flaw to obtain persistent unauthorized administrative control.

Progress MarkLogic Server versions 12.x before 12.1.0 and 11.x before 11.3.7 contain an authorization flaw in certain forest-management operations. A remote attacker with forest-management privileges could exploit this flaw to create a persistent unauthorized administrator account, potentially resulting in complete unauthorized administrative control of the server.

A cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Query Console of Progress MarkLogic Server before 11.3.6 and 12.0.3 allows a remote attacker who lures an authenticated administrator to a crafted URL to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the administrator's browser session, capture credentials, and perform privileged actions on the administrator's behalf.

An improper privilege management vulnerability in the Hadoop integration of Progress MarkLogic Server before 11.3.6 and 12.0.3 allows an authenticated user with a low-privileged Hadoop role to escalate privileges and execute privileged operations against the Security database.

An authentication bypass vulnerability in the ODBC App Server of Progress MarkLogic Server before 11.3.6 and 12.0.3 allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to bypass password verification and execute queries with the privileges of any named user known to the server, including administrators.

An HTTP request smuggling vulnerability in the HTTP App Server of Progress MarkLogic Server before 11.3.6 and 12.0.3 allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication and authorization checks, hijack a legitimate user's session, or capture credentials. The vulnerability occurs when a crafted HTTP request containing both Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding headers causes a reverse proxy and MarkLogic Server to interpret request boundaries differently.

An improper privilege management vulnerability in the REST API document patch operation of Progress MarkLogic Server before 11.3.6 and 12.0.3 allows an authenticated user with a low-privileged REST role to escalate privileges and execute privileged operations against the Security database.

An improper verification of cryptographic signature vulnerability in the SAML authentication module of Progress MarkLogic Server before 11.3.6 and 12.0.3 allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to bypass authentication and impersonate any user, including administrators. This vulnerability affects deployments with SAML single sign-on enabled.
