CVE-2026-110535: Apache Syncope: AuthProfile value escalation via self-service update
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 35/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.26% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: Apache Software Foundation Apache Syncope 4.0.9.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Apache Software Foundation Apache Syncope 4.0.9 or later.
