Privilege Escalation in Pexip Infinity

Publication date: 2026-09-30

Last updated on: 2026-09-30

Assigner: MITRE

Description
Pexip Infinity before 38.2, plus 39.0, 39.1, and 40.0, is affected by improper input validation within an internal Pexip Infinity service that allows an attacker with local access to escalate privileges to root. Exploitation requires an attacker to be able to run arbitrary code on a node by either achieving remote code execution via some other vulnerability or having administrative access to the operating system.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is an improper input validation flaw in Pexip Infinity software versions before 38.2, plus 39.0, 39.1, and 40.0. It allows an attacker with local access to escalate privileges to root level by exploiting an internal service. The flaw requires the attacker to already have the ability to run arbitrary code on a node, either through remote code execution or administrative OS access.

Detection Guidance

Detection requires checking the Pexip Infinity version installed on your system. Compare the installed version against the vulnerable versions (before 38.2, 39.0, 39.1, and 40.0). Use commands like 'dpkg -l pexip-infinity' or 'rpm -qa | grep pexip' to list installed packages and verify versions.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability could allow an attacker to gain full control of a Pexip Infinity node, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data theft, or disruption of services. Since it requires local access or prior compromise, the risk is higher for systems with existing vulnerabilities or weak administrative controls.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access or data breaches, which may violate compliance requirements under GDPR, HIPAA, or other regulations. Organizations using affected Pexip Infinity versions may face legal penalties, reputational damage, or loss of certification if exploited.

Mitigation Strategies

Update Pexip Infinity to a version that is not affected by this vulnerability, specifically versions beyond 38.2 and excluding 39.0, 39.1, and 40.0. Ensure proper input validation is enforced in internal services to prevent privilege escalation.
