Description
CVE-2026-15227 is a medium severity vulnerability in Checkmk that allows an authenticated user without the 'Edit foreign Reports' permission to modify reports owned by other users. It affects Checkmk versions prior to 2.5.0p10, 2.4.0p35, and 2.3.0p49, as well as version 2.2.0 which is end-of-life. This is due to missing authorization checks in the affected versions.
