Summary

The rootpw plugin in rPath Appliance Platform Agent 2 and 3 does not re-validate requests from a browser with a valid administrator session, including requests to change the password, which makes it easier for physically proximate attackers to gain privileges and maintain control over the administrator account.

Exploit prediction

0.36% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 30% of all scored CVEs (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-08).

Fencer Vulns keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.
