CVE-2026-78545
The Okta Access Gateway does not sanitize the application label field before including it in the generated nginx configuration file. The unsanitized value is interpolated into an nginx server block directive, resulting in execution of injected directives.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 7.2
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.38%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 30
- Fecha de la puntuación: 5/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK
Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.
- Explotación
T1210Exploitation of Remote Serviceslateral movement85 % - Impacto principal
T1059Command and Scripting Interpreterexecution80 % - Impacto secundario
T1068Exploitation for Privilege Escalationprivilege escalation75 %
Acceso red (AV:N) con PR:H permite inyectar directivas en nginx; genera ejecución de comandos (T1059) y potencial escalada de privilegios en el contexto del servicio (T1068).
Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
