Description

Storyden through 1.26.16 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability that allows users holding MANAGE_ROLES to grant the ADMINISTRATOR permission without being administrators. Attackers can call AccountAddRole on another controlled account or use RoleCreate and RoleUpdate to create administrator roles, taking full control of the instance.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Vulnerability
  1. Detect

    Identify every host running the affected component and compare the installed build against the fixed version below — for source-built or distro-packaged software the version string, not a lockfile, is the source of truth (`dpkg -l`, `rpm -q`, or the binary's own `--version`).

  2. Remediation status

    The records we use list no fixed release for CVE-2026-125360. Check the upstream advisory for a patched version, and apply the exposure-reduction steps below in the meantime.

  3. Mitigate without a patch

    Close the privilege gap rather than the entry point: audit which accounts, roles and service identities can reach the affected operation, drop the component to the least privilege it actually needs, and review file and directory permissions created by earlier installs — a default left in place is what makes this reachable.
