CVE-2026-14886

NVD analysis in progress

Vault Enterprise's identity entity batch-delete endpoint is vulnerable to a cross-namespace authorization bypass that may allow an authenticated caller in one namespace to permanently delete the storage backing of entities belonging to another namespace. This vulnerability (CVE-2026-14886) is fixed in Vault Enterprise 2.0.4, 1.21.9, 1.20.14 and 1.19.20.

What this means

Exposure
Exploitable remotely over the network, with an ordinary user account and with no action from the victim. The attack does require particular conditions, which makes it less systematic.
Impact
An attacker can modify or destroy data and take the service offline. The impact spreads beyond the vulnerable component into other parts of the system.
Weakness
No authorisation check happens before the action.
Likelihood
Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
