CVE-2026-112182

Multiple Vulnerabilities in OpenKM Community Edition

Published Nov 13, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 8.7 High EPSS n/a KEV · Not listed
Description
Unauthorization vulnerability in the management of workflow definitions in OpenKM Community Edition. The REST endpoints `registerProcessDefinition` and `runProcessDefinition` require authentication but do not verify roles in the WorkflowService or in lower layers. An attacker with the `ROLE_USER` role can register and execute a process definition containing BeanShell scripts, allowing them to execute Java code and operating system commands with the service’s privileges. In the official Docker image, the process runs as root.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Update to OpenKM CE 6.3.14 when it becomes available. The vendor states that creating and deleting process definitions will require the administrator role at the business layer, covering REST, SOAP, and the administration interface. As a temporary measure to restrict access to the workflow, the vendor recommends blocking non-administrator users from accessing /OpenKM/services/rest/workflow/* and /OpenKM/services/OKMWorkflow on the reverse proxy or firewall. If the web services are not in use, block the entire /OpenKM/services/* directory. The manufacturer recommends migrating to OpenKM CE 7.0.4. Before migrating from 6.3.x, please note that 7.x does not include the jBPM workflow engine.
