CVE-2026-40619
Genetec Security Center Local Privilege Escalation to Admin Credentials
Description
A high security vulnerability affecting Security Center main server installations has been identified. It could allow an attacker with local OS privileges to the main server to access the Server Admin credentials. A third party hired by Genetec found the issue. There is currently no evidence of active exploitation. This vulnerability is associated with specific installation package builds rather than the product version identifier alone. Certain versions (including 5.10.4.0, 5.11.3.0, 5.12.2.0 and 5.13.3.0) were released with both vulnerable and remediated installation packages under the same version number. Consequently, version-based comparison alone is insufficient to determine exposure. Only installations performed using vulnerable builds are affected. Remediated builds can be distinguished using verified installation package hashes. For the complete list of fixed build hashes, refer to the security advisory section.

Action Type Old Value New Value Added Translation Title: Genetec Security Center de Genetec, Description: Una vulnerabilidad de alta seguridad que afecta a las instalaciones del servidor principal de Security Center ha sido identificada. Podría permitir a un atacante con privilegios de SO local en el servidor principal acceder a las credenciales de Administrador del Servidor. Un tercero contratado por Genetec encontró el problema. Actualmente no hay evidencia de explotación activa. Esta vulnerabilidad está asociada con compilaciones de paquetes de instalación específicas en lugar de solo el identificador de versión del producto. Ciertas versiones (incluyendo 5.10.4.0, 5.11.3.0, 5.12.2.0 y 5.13.3.0) fueron lanzadas con paquetes de instalación tanto vulnerables como remediados bajo el mismo número de versión. En consecuencia, la comparación basada únicamente en la versión es insuficiente para determinar la exposición. Solo las instalaciones realizadas utilizando compilaciones vulnerables están afectadas. Las compilaciones remediadas pueden distinguirse utilizando hashes de paquetes de instalación verificados. Para la lista completa de hashes de compilaciones corregidas, consulte la sección de avisos de seguridad. -
