CVE-2026-77226 PUBLISHED

Camunda 7.24.0 < 7.24.15 Incorrect Authorization via SetupResource Endpoint

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 20.08.2026 Published: 05.10.2026 Updated: 05.10.2026

Camunda 7.24.0 before 7.24.15 contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability in the Admin web application's first-run setup endpoint, where SetupResource incorrectly determines setup availability by counting only direct members of the camunda-admin group rather than recognizing all configured administrators. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this logic flaw to call the setup user-create endpoint and create a new administrator account when the camunda-admin group is empty but the system is fully administered, resulting in account takeover and potential process deployment or script execution as the engine's service user.
