STACKIT IaaS API Privilege Escalation via Service Account Attachment

CVE-2026-39910

What is CVE-2026-39910?

STACKIT IaaS API contains a missing authorization check vulnerability that allows authenticated, low-privileged attackers to escalate privileges to full organization compromise by attaching arbitrary service accounts to virtual machines they control. Attackers can exploit the unvalidated PUT servers service-accounts endpoint to attach high-privileged service accounts and query the Instance Metadata Service to retrieve OAuth2 tokens, bypassing tenant boundaries and gaining unauthorized control over the entire organization environment.
