CVE-2026-50218

Improper JWT Validation Allows Unauthorized Reconfiguration in Akamai Guardicore Platform Agent

Published Oct 14, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 8.5 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Akamai GPA (Guardicore Platform Agent) client on all platforms before 7.4 improperly validates JWT tokens used for seeding. By convincing a user to interact with a malicious link, an attacker can use a spoofed JWT token to inject arbitrary parameters into the client software, resulting in unauthorized reconfiguration and full compromise of the application's functionality. This attack can also be targeted against an already seeded client if the attacker knows the URL of the IDP that the client used for enrollment.
