What is CVE-2026-62183?

An improper privilege management vulnerability in Apache Syncope allows users to misuse defined Roles through a compromised REST API call. When the all-Java or Flowable user workflow adapters are incorrectly configured, users may escalate their privileges by granting themselves roles without proper authorization. This can lead to unauthorized access and administrative permissions, depending on the roles set in the deployment. Users are strongly advised to update to versions 4.0.7 or 4.1.2 to mitigate the risk posed by this vulnerability.

Affected Version(s)

Apache Syncope 3.0.0-M0 <= 3.0.16

Apache Syncope 4.0.0-M0 <= 4.0.6

Apache Syncope 4.1.0-M0 <= 4.1.1

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
