In affected versions of Octopus Server, users with certain scoped permission sets could execute arbitrary scripts on a worker (including the Octopus Server built-in worker). Incorrect permission validation during script execution would allow the script to execute without the user possessing the required authorisation.
CVE-2026-91778
This high-severity CVE scores 7.2 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.4%, top 65% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- High severity, but no confirmed exploitation yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
