JFrog disclosed CVE-2026-66014, a high-severity vulnerability in Artifactory caused by improper authentication in internal request processing. The flaw, classified as CWE-287, can allow an authenticated attacker with low privileges to bypass intended authorization boundaries and escalate privileges under specific conditions. The issue carries a CVSS v3.1 score of 8.8 with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, indicating high potential impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Multiple Artifactory version ranges are affected, and JFrog has published release and security advisory information identifying remediated versions outside those ranges. The CVE record credits Amy Burnett of OpenAI with reporting the issue, and organizations running Artifactory are being directed to review JFrog’s advisory and upgrade guidance to prevent privilege escalation through the vulnerable internal request handling path.

JFrog disclosed **CVE-2026-42016**, a high-severity privilege-escalation vulnerability in **Artifactory Self-Hosted** caused by incorrect authorization validation of user tokens. The flaw affects versions **before 7.133.11** and stems from token checks that validate the signature and issuer but do **not** verify the token scope, allowing an authenticated user with low privileges to gain elevated access. The issue is tracked as **CWE-863** and carries a **CVSS v3.1** vector of `AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N`, indicating high confidentiality and integrity impact with no direct availability impact. JFrog’s self-managed release documentation lists **7.133.11** as the fixed version for affected deployments, and organizations running on-premises Artifactory are expected to prioritize upgrades. Because exploitation requires only valid low-privilege access and no user interaction, the vulnerability raises the risk of unauthorized access to repositories, artifacts, and administrative functions in environments that have not yet patched.

JFrog disclosed **CVE-2026-66015**, a high-severity authorization flaw in the JFrog Platform that can let an authenticated user escalate privileges and obtain temporary platform administrator access under certain admin-provisioned account conditions. The issue is classified as **CWE-269: Improper Privilege Management** and carries a **CVSS v3.1 score of 7.2**. The vulnerability affects **JFrog Artifactory** versions `7.146.0` through before `7.146.34` and `7.161.0` through before `7.161.15`, according to the CVE record and JFrog's security advisories. Organizations running affected releases should review JFrog's advisory guidance and prioritize upgrades to fixed versions to prevent authenticated privilege escalation within the platform.

JFrog disclosed **CVE-2026-65921**, a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in **Artifactory** that can let an authenticated attacker write files outside the intended build artifacts directory. The flaw stems from improper path validation during archive extraction and related write handling, allowing traversal sequences to escape the expected destination path. The issue is tracked as **`CWE-22`** and carries a **CVSS v3.1 score of 8.8** (`AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H`). JFrog said multiple Artifactory version ranges are affected and published patched releases at the upper bounds of those ranges, along with a security advisory and release references for remediation. The vulnerability can impact **confidentiality, integrity, and availability**, and the CVE record credits discovery to **Matthew Bryant of OpenAI**. Organizations running Artifactory should identify affected deployments and apply JFrog’s fixes to prevent unauthorized file writes via crafted archive contents or write operations.
