CVE-2026-102111: CWE-1284 Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input in Kiteworks Core
CVE-2026-102111 is a vulnerability in Kiteworks Core where an authenticated administrator can configure a security-policy setting beyond its intended maximum value. This flaw causes the associated security control to never activate, despite appearing enabled in the administrative interface and audit logs, effectively rendering the control ineffective without detection.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Kiteworks Core fails to enforce the maximum permitted value for a configurable security-policy setting. An authenticated administrator can set this value outside the intended range, causing the related control to be silently disabled while still showing as enabled in the admin interface and audit logs. This improper validation of specified quantity input (CWE-1284) undermines the effectiveness of the security control.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows an authenticated administrator to bypass a security control by setting its configuration to an out-of-range value, causing the control to be silently disabled. This can lead to a loss of intended security enforcement without alerting administrators, potentially increasing risk of unauthorized actions or policy violations. There is no direct confidentiality or availability impact reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
No patch or official fix information is provided. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, administrators should carefully audit configuration changes and verify that security controls are functioning as intended.
