Description
CVE-2026-102113 is a privilege escalation vulnerability in Kiteworks Core that allows an attacker with local access as an unprivileged backend service account to escalate privileges to root. The issue arises from improper handling of filesystem paths by a privileged routine, enabling arbitrary command execution with root privileges. Exploitation requires prior code execution under the lower-privileged service account. The vulnerability affects Kiteworks Core versions prior to 9.5.0.
