CVE-2026-42016JFrog Artifactory — Token Scope Not Checked, Privilege Escalation

Self-hosted JFrog Artifactory before 7.133.11 checks a token's signature and issuer but not its scope, so an attacker holding a low-privilege token can act beyond what that token was granted and escalate privileges.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Upgrade self-hosted Artifactory to 7.133.11 or later now; it is exploited in the wild, so audit token use and hunt for unexpected privileged actions.
