What is CVE-2026-116845?

A vulnerability in NetBox allows authenticated users with specific permissions to bypass view restrictions on parent devices and virtual machines. This is due to inadequate access controls in the BulkComponentCreateView functionality. Attackers who have 'add-component' permissions can manipulate component IDs and filters to gain visibility into devices and virtual machines that should be out of their scope, potentially leading to unauthorized access and modifications.

Affected Version(s)

netbox 2.9.0 < 4.7.4

netbox 4.7.4
