CVE-2026-1193
Published: 19 January 2026
Summary
CVE-2026-1193 is a medium-severity Incorrect Privilege Assignment (CWE-266) vulnerability in Mineadmin Mineadmin. Its CVSS base score is 5.3 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 23.7th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and AC-4 (Information Flow Enforcement).
Deeper analysis
CVE-2026-1193 is an improper authorization vulnerability affecting MineAdmin versions 1.x and 2.x. The issue resides in an unknown function within the file /system/cache/view of the View Interface component. This flaw allows manipulation leading to unauthorized access or actions beyond intended permissions, as classified under CWE-266 (Incorrect Privilege Assignment) and CWE-285 (Improper Authorization). The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L), indicating medium severity with network accessibility and low attack complexity.
The vulnerability can be exploited remotely by an attacker who possesses low privileges, such as an authenticated user with basic access (PR:L). No user interaction is required (UI:N), enabling straightforward exploitation over the network (AV:N). Successful exploitation grants limited impacts: low confidentiality (C:L) for accessing some unauthorized data, low integrity (I:L) for modifying certain resources, and low availability (A:L) for causing minor disruptions. A public exploit is available, increasing the risk of active misuse.
Advisories from VulDB and a related GitHub issue (SourByte05/MineAdmin-Vulnerability/issues/6) detail the vulnerability but report no vendor response despite early disclosure notification. No patches, workarounds, or official mitigations are available, leaving affected systems reliant on access controls, network segmentation, or upgrading if future fixes emerge.
Notable context includes the public availability of an exploit, which may lead to targeted attacks on exposed MineAdmin instances. The CVE was published on 2026-01-19, highlighting ongoing risks for unpatched deployments.
