Weakness Types
Protection Mechanism Failure
The product does not use or incorrectly uses a protection mechanism that provides sufficient defense against directed attacks against the product. This weakness covers three distinct situations. A "missing" protection mechanism occurs when the application does not define any mechanism against a certain class of attack. An "insufficient" protection mechanism might provide some defenses - for example, against the most common attacks - but it does not protect against everything that is intended. Finally, an "ignored" mechanism occurs when a mechanism is available and in active use within the product, but the developer has not applied it in some code path.
What is an Authorization Vulnerability?
The software does not restrict or incorrectly restricts access to a resource from an unauthorized actor.
CVE-2026-2768 has been classified to as an Authorization vulnerability or weakness.
