CVE-2026-8381
Description
A broken access control vulnerability exists in the TeamViewer DEX Platform (On‑Premises) prior version 9.2. Certain backend API endpoints do not correctly enforce authorization checks, allowing an authenticated user with low privileges to perform actions and access resources intended only for higher‑privileged roles. An attacker with low‑privileged credentials may exploit this to gain unauthorized access to administrative or sensitive functionality.
AI Insight
LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.
TeamViewer DEX Platform On-Premises before v9.2 has broken access control in backend APIs, letting low-privileged users access admin-only resources.
Vulnerability
A broken access control vulnerability exists in the TeamViewer DEX Platform (On-Premises) prior to version 9.2. Certain backend API endpoints do not correctly enforce server-side authorization checks [1]. This allows an authenticated user with low privileges to access resources and perform actions intended only for higher-privileged roles, including administrative functions. The issue affects all deployments running a version earlier than v9.2 [1].
Exploitation
An attacker needs low-privileged valid credentials for the TeamViewer DEX Platform On-Premises instance. No other user interaction or special network position is required beyond normal authenticated access to the platform. The attacker can directly send crafted requests to the vulnerable backend API endpoints, which fail to verify proper role authorization [1].
Impact
Successful exploitation grants the attacker unauthorized access to administrative or sensitive functionality, potentially leading to disclosure of confidential data, modification of configuration, or privilege escalation within the platform [1]. The exact scope of compromise depends on the specific endpoints accessed but extends to resources reserved for higher-privileged roles.
Mitigation
Update to TeamViewer DEX Platform On-Premises version 9.2 or later, which contains the fix for this vulnerability [1]. The fixed version was released as part of the security bulletin TV-2026-1005. No workarounds are documented; upgrading is the recommended mitigation.
