CVE-2026-104117: Missing authorization in illumos ipmgmtd allows local users to change persistent IPMP group membership
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 7/100)
- 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: 0.10% (FIRST EPSS).
- Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: illumos illumos-gate e8d3efa1c56e5f2b5368600a2baeb7b1d54a07f8; OmniOS OmniOS r151054bw, r151056aw, r151058w.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to illumos illumos-gate e8d3efa1c56e5f2b5368600a2baeb7b1d54a07f8; OmniOS OmniOS r151054bw, r151056aw, r151058w or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
A missing authorization check in the illumos IP management daemon (ipmgmtd) allows a local user to change the persistent IP multipathing (IPMP) configuration. The ipmgmtd door dispatch table in usr/src/cmd/cmd-inet/lib/ipmgmtd/ipmgmt_door.c does not require the solaris.network.interface.config authorization for the IPMGMT_CMD_IPMP_UPDATE command, although its handler, ipmgmt_ipmp_update_handler(), writes to the persistent ipadm configuration when the IPMGMT_PERSIST flag is set. An unprivileged local user can therefore add interfaces to, or remove them from, existing IPMP groups in the stored configuration. The running configuration is not changed; the modification takes effect when the stored configuration is next applied, such as at boot, and may disrupt network connectivity. The flaw has existed since 2021 (illumos-gate commit a73be61a), and affects any illumos distribution prior to illumos-gate commit e8d3efa1.
