CVE-2026-120490
Administrator with policy and NAT permissions can bypass Sync network protection on Scalable Platforms
On Scalable Platforms, an administrator with permissions to edit and install the Access Control Policy and NAT rules can create a NAT rule that redirects traffic to the Gateway's Sync interface, bypassing the built-in Sync protection. This could allow the administrator to execute operating system commands and write files on the Gateway with superuser privileges.
