What is CVE-2026-44668?

FACTION, a PenTesting Report Generation and Collaboration Framework, allows unauthenticated attackers to exploit its access control mechanisms. Before version 1.8.3, the AccessControlInterceptor did not verify valid user sessions, enabling unauthorized actions such as reading, modifying, and deleting boilerplate templates within the system. This critical oversight leaves confidential information at risk. It is essential for users to upgrade to the patched version 1.8.3 to mitigate these security concerns.

Affected Version(s)
