CVE-2026-87090
Consul and Consul Enterprise are vulnerable to an authorization bypass in the catalog node-write path that may allow an authenticated attacker to delete another node's catalog registration and take over its node identity. An attacker with a token granting node-write permission on any single node name may exploit this issue if they can obtain the node ID of a node they do not control. This vulnerability (CVE-2026-87090) is fixed in Consul 2.0.4 and Consul Enterprise 1.21.18, 1.22.12 and 2.0.4.

🎯 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
T1078Valid Accountsstealth · persistence · privilege escalation · initial access90 % - Impacto secundario
T1565.002Transmitted Data Manipulationimpact75 %
Acceso remoto a servicio Consul con PR:L requiere red adyacente/privilegios (T1210). Atacante autenticado contraviene permisos (CWE-863) para asumir identidad ajena y modificar registros de catálogo (T1078 + manipulación de datos).
