CVE-2026-85966
HIGH 7.7Progress MarkLogic Server 12.x releases before 12.1.0 and 11.x releases before 11.3.7 do not sufficiently restrict access to certain security-sensitive information. A remote authenticated attacker with limited management permissions could obtain this information, which could result in unauthorized access to protected resources.
Severe if exploited (CVSS 7.7), but no known exploitation and low modeled probability. Patch on a normal cadence.
