# CVE-2026-53902: Privilege Escalation in MCO

- Severity: CVSS 7.1 (High), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2026-07-01 · Updated: 2026-07-01

## Affected

- MyComplianceOffice MCO: 25.3.3.1

## Description

MCO does not properly enforce authorization checks in the /customer/servlet/mco/webapi/profile-sections/group-membership endpoint. An authenticated user can modify their group membership without proper authorization checks, allowing privilege escalation. An attacker can add themselves to arbitrary groups by supplying a valid group ID, which can be obtained via other application functionalities (e.g. /customer/servlet/mco/webapi/group/picker/groups), provided he has necessary permissions, or potentially inferred through brute-force techniques. Because vendor contact attempts were unsuccessful, the vulnerability has only been confirmed in version 25.3.3.1 but may also affect other versions.
