Description
CVE-2026-102112 is a privilege escalation vulnerability in Kiteworks Core that allows an attacker with existing code execution as an unprivileged backend service account to escalate privileges to root and execute arbitrary commands with highest privileges. Exploitation requires local access to the service account. The vulnerability is due to improper neutralization of special elements used in OS commands (CWE-78).
