Description
CVE-2026-95624 is an improper access control vulnerability in the Tauri tauri-plugin-updater. The updater's 'check' IPC command accepts an allowDowngrades boolean parameter from frontend JavaScript, which can be exploited via XSS to bypass anti-rollback protections and enable downgrade attacks. This affects versions from 2.8.0 up to but not including 2.12.0. The vulnerability has a medium severity with a CVSS score of 6.8.
