Summary
<p><a href="https://github.com/cisagov/CSAF/blob/develop/csaf_files/OT/white/2026/icsa-26-197-07.json"><strong>View CSAF</strong></a></p> <h2>Summary</h2> <p><strong>Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows an authenticated attacker to escalate privileges and access spaces outside their assigned partition, within the same Salto ProAccess Space installation or system. Exploitation requires valid authenticated operator credentials and the partition feature to be enabled; installations without partitioning are not affected.</strong></p> <p>The following versions of SALTO ProAccess Space are affected:</p> <ul> <li>ProAccess Space <6.13 (CVE-2026-11889)</li> </ul> <div class="csaf-table"> <table class="tablesaw tablesaw-stack"> <thead> <tr> <th>CVSS</th> <th>Vendor</th> <th>Equipment</th> <th>Vulnerabilities</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>v3 6.5</td> <td>SALTO</td> <td>SALTO ProAccess Space</td> <td>Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <h3>Background</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Critical Infrastructure Sectors: </strong>Commercial Facilities, Critical Manufacturing</li> <li><strong>Countries/Areas Deployed: </strong>Worldwide</li> <li><strong>Company Headquarters Location: </strong>Spain</li> </ul> <hr /> <h2>Vulnerabilities</h2> <div class="csaf-accordion"> <p><a class="csaf-accordion-toggle-all" href="https://www.cisa.gov/">Expand All +</a></p> <div class="csaf-accordion-item"> <h3><a class="csaf-accordion-toggle" href="https://www.cisa.gov/">CVE-2026-11889</a></h3> <div class="csaf-accordion-content"> <p>SALTO ProAccess Space software using the tenancy feature / logical partition is vulnerable to a privilege escalation attack that could allow an authorized attacker to access any space managed by the affected product.</p> <p><a href="https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-11889">View CVE Details</a></p> <hr /> <h4>Affected Products</h4> <h5>SALTO ProAccess Space</h5> <div class="ics-vendor-version-status"> <div class="ics-vendor"><strong>Vendor:</strong><br />SALTO</div> <div class="ics-version"><strong>Product Version:</strong><br />SALTO ProAccess Space: <6.13</div> <div class="ics-status"><strong>Product Status:</strong><br />known_affected</div> </div> <div class="ics-remediations"> <h6>Remediations</h6> <p><strong>Mitigation</strong><br />Users of SALTO ProAccess using the tenancy feature should upgrade to version 6.13.</p> <p><strong>Vendor fix</strong><br />To further enhance security after applying the update: 1. Operate ProAccess Space on a protected internal network and avoid exposing it directly to the Internet. 2. Restrict operator-level accounts to the minimum required and apply least-privilege principles. 3. If feasible, disable the partitioning feature and operate under a single partition. 4. When strong tenant separation is required, consider running separate Space instances (isolated environments) rather than relying solely on logical partitioning.</p> </div> <p><strong>Relevant CWE:</strong> <a href="https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/639.html">CWE-639 Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key</a></p> <hr /> <h4>Metrics</h4> <div class="csaf-table csaf-metrics-table"> <table class="tablesaw tablesaw-stack"> <thead> <tr> <th>CVSS Version</th> <th>Base Score</th> <th>Base Severity</th> <th>Vector String</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>3.1</td> <td>6.5</td> <td>MEDIUM</td> <td><a href="https://www.first.org/cvss/calculator/3.1#CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N">CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td>4.0</td> <td>7.1</td> <td>HIGH</td> <td><a href="https://www.first.org/cvss/calculator/4.0#CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N">CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N</a></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </div> </div> </div> <hr /> <h2>Acknowledgments</h2> <ul> <li>Bernhard Lorenz of Limes Security reported this vulnerability to CISA</li> </ul> <hr /> <h2>Legal Notice and Terms of Use</h2> <p>This product is provided subject to this Notification (https://www.cisa.gov/notification) and this Privacy & Use policy (https://www.cisa.gov/privacy-policy).</p> <hr /> <h2>Recommended Practices</h2> <p>CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of this vulnerability.</p> <p>Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, ensuring they are not accessible from the internet.</p> <p>Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and isolating them from business networks.</p> <p>When remote access is required, use more secure methods, such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), recognizing VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be updated to the most current version available.
