FKIE_CVE-2026-42303

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-05-12 18:17 - Updated: 2026-06-17 10:47
Severity
6.1 (Medium) - CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:H/SA:N
Summary
Fides is an open-source privacy engineering platform. From 2.75.0 to before 2.83.2, Fides deployments that enable both subject identity verification and duplicate privacy request detection are affected by a vulnerability in which an administrator can approve a privacy request whose identity was never verified. For erasure policies, this can result in unauthorized deletion of a data subject's records across every integration configured in the affected deployment. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.83.2.
