Aug 2026: Microsoft Exchange Server Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
CVE-2026-62911 Published on August 11, 2026
Microsoft Exchange Server Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
Authentication bypass by capture-replay in Microsoft Exchange Server allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges over a network.
Weakness Type
Authentication Bypass by Capture-replay
A capture-replay flaw exists when the design of the software makes it possible for a malicious user to sniff network traffic and bypass authentication by replaying it to the server in question to the same effect as the original message (or with minor changes). Capture-replay attacks are common and can be difficult to defeat without cryptography. They are a subset of network injection attacks that rely on observing previously-sent valid commands, then changing them slightly if necessary and resending the same commands to the server.
