Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2024-26310, organizations should prioritize upgrading the Archer Platform to version 6.14 P2 (6.14.0.2) or later, where the vulnerability is addressed. In the absence of immediate patching, administrators should review and tighten access control policies, ensuring that users have the minimum necessary privileges and that API access is restricted based on role. Implementing robust authentication and session management controls can reduce the risk of unauthorized access. Monitoring and logging API access patterns can help detect anomalous behavior indicative of exploitation attempts. Additionally, conducting regular privilege audits and enforcing the principle of least privilege will limit the potential impact. Network segmentation and limiting access to the Archer Platform management interfaces to trusted networks can further reduce exposure. Finally, educating users about the importance of credential security and monitoring for compromised accounts will help prevent exploitation by malicious insiders or attackers with stolen credentials.

Description

Archer Platform 6.8 before 6.14 P2 (6.14.0.2) contains an improper access control vulnerability. A remote authenticated malicious user could potentially exploit this to gain access to API information that should only be accessible with extra privileges.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2024-26310 is the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive API information within the Archer Platform environment. This can compromise confidentiality by allowing attackers to access data that should be restricted to privileged users. Although the vulnerability does not affect data integrity or system availability, the exposure of sensitive information could facilitate further targeted attacks, social engineering, or unauthorized data aggregation. Organizations relying on Archer Platform for governance, risk, and compliance management may face increased risk of data leakage, regulatory non-compliance, and reputational damage. The requirement for authentication limits the attack surface to insiders or compromised accounts, but the risk remains significant in environments where user privilege management is lax or where attackers have gained initial access. The absence of known exploits reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the potential for future exploitation. Overall, the vulnerability poses a moderate risk to organizations with sensitive compliance data and API-driven workflows.

The product does not restrict or incorrectly restricts access to a resource from an unauthorized actor.
MITRE discourages mapping vulnerabilities to this broad entry; the root cause is usually a more specific weakness.
Architecture and Design · Operation
Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
Architecture and Design · Separation of Privilege
Compartmentalize the system to have "safe" areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area.
