A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 29 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

AI-suggested

A vendor-provided official fix is available. Users should upgrade to MotionPro version 1.2.28 or later to remediate this vulnerability. Until patched, restricting local access and limiting the ability to execute low-privileged code can reduce risk.

Description

This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Array Networks MotionPro. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The ZDI has assigned a CVSS rating of 7.8. The following CVEs are assigned: CVE-2026-26364.

Impact

Successful exploitation results in local privilege escalation, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges. This can lead to full control over the affected system, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability does not allow remote exploitation and requires prior low-privileged code execution.

Summary

This vulnerability affects the ArrayInstallManager component of Array Networks MotionPro. It arises from incorrect permission settings that allow a local attacker, who already has low-level code execution capabilities, to escalate privileges to SYSTEM. Exploitation requires local access and no user interaction. The flaw enables arbitrary code execution at the highest privilege level on the affected system. The vendor has released a fix in MotionPro version 1.2.28.
