CVE-2026-9862

Core Privileged Access Manager (BoKS) autoregistration service command injection vulnerability

Published Jun 15, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 9.8 Critical EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Fortra's 
Core Privileged Access Manager (BoKS) contains an OS command injection vulnerability in the boks_autoregisterd service. A remote attacker with network access to the service may be able to cause commands to be executed with the privileges of the service during the autoregistration processing.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Upgrade to boks-server 8.1.0.23 or 9.0.0.5.


Vendor Workaround

Restrict network access to boks_autoregisterd, which listens on port 6507 by default, until fixed builds are deployed.  Another workaround for both boks-server 8.1 and 9.0 is to disable the service in the boksinit configuration. On the BoKS Master, edit $BOKS_var/internal/boksinit/master  and comment out the line  `autoregisterd:300:1:0:respawn::$BOKS_lib/boks_autoregisterd -xn`  by prefixing it with  `#`;  then make boks_init reread the file, for example by running  `kill -HUP $(cat $BOKS_var/run/boks_init)`,  or restart BoKS. This stops boks_autoregisterd and prevents it from being respawned; autoregistration is unavailable until the row is restored.
