CVE-2026-44987
CWE-269Published: May 8, 2026· Updated: May 13, 2026
Official Description
SysReptor is a fully customizable pentest reporting platform. Prior to version 2026.29, users with "User Admin" permissions can change the email addresses of users with "Superuser" permissions. If the SysReptor installation has the "Forgot Password" functionality enabled (non-default), they can reset the Superusers' passwords and authenticate, if the Superuser has no MFA enabled. User managers can then access the Django backend (/admin) or manipulate the settings of the SysReptor installation. Note that user managers have the ability to access all pentest projects by assigning themselves "Project Admin" permissions. This is intentional and by design. This issue has been patched in version 2026.29.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-44987 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires high privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
