Executive Summary

CVE-2026-35175 is an authorization bypass vulnerability in the Ajenti server admin panel versions prior to 2.2.15. It allows an authenticated user, who is authenticated via the auth_users plugin method but is not a superuser, to install custom packages. This happens because the software fails to properly check if the user has the necessary permissions to perform this action.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow unauthorized users with limited privileges to install custom packages on the server. This could lead to the installation of malicious software, unauthorized changes to the system, potential compromise of server integrity, and escalation of privileges, thereby increasing the risk of further attacks or data breaches.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, you should upgrade the ajenti-panel package to version 2.2.15 or later.

This update fixes the authorization bypass issue that allowed authenticated users to install custom packages without superuser privileges.

Compliance Impact

The provided information does not specify how this vulnerability impacts compliance with common standards and regulations such as GDPR or HIPAA.
