Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2026-26139 is a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability, classified under CWE-918, affecting Microsoft Purview. Published on 2026-03-19T21:17:08.377, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.6 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N), indicating high severity due to network accessibility, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and a scope change with high confidentiality impact.

An unauthorized attacker (PR:N) can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network (AV:N) without user interaction. Exploitation enables privilege elevation over a network, potentially allowing access to sensitive data as indicated by the high confidentiality impact and changed scope.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Information flow enforcement can restrict which destinations the server is allowed to contact on behalf of users.

Input validation directly stops untrusted URLs from being accepted and fetched without destination checks.

Boundary protection limits the network reach of server-initiated requests even if SSRF occurs.
