CVE-2026-111670
Description
A flaw was found in ClickVisual. A missing authorization vulnerability in the reporting application programming interface (API) allows an authenticated remote attacker with low privileges to access unauthorized database instances. By manipulating instance identifiers in reporting requests, an attacker can enumerate database schemas and access restricted table metadata.
Statement
This vulnerability is rated as Moderate because exploitation requires valid user authentication and only exposes database metadata without compromising data integrity or system availability. Red Hat products do not ship or support ClickVisual, meaning default enterprise deployments are unaffected. In third-party deployments of this service, authenticated users are limited to inspecting schema structures and table metrics rather than executing arbitrary commands or altering data.
Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Access Control
Technical Impact: Bypass Protection Mechanism
Access control checks for specific user data or functionality can be bypassed.
Access Control
Technical Impact: Gain Privileges or Assume Identity
Horizontal escalation of privilege is possible (one user can view/modify information of another user).
Access Control
Technical Impact: Gain Privileges or Assume Identity
Vertical escalation of privilege is possible if the user-controlled key is actually a flag that indicates administrator status, allowing the attacker to gain administrative access.
