Overview

The Collibra Platform Agent contains vulnerabilities that can be chained by a remote, unauthenticated attacker to achieve remote code execution. An attacker can exploit these issues by uploading a crafted ZIP archive that writes attacker-controlled files to arbitrary locations on the server once extracted, resulting in code execution.

Description

Collibra Platform (CP) and Collibra Platform Self-Hosted (CPSH), an enterprise grade, cloud-based platform designed to help organizations locate, understand, trust, and manage their data assets. The Collibra Agent of CP and CPSH that is installed on the host system is an independent service that listens on different port than the web interface and have the following vulnerabilities.

CVE-2026-10622 Privileged REST endpoints exposed under /rest/* do not properly enforce authentication or authorization. This allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to interact with sensitive application functionality and gather information useful for further exploitation, including identifying suitable filesystem locations or application paths.
Additionally, the web services hosting the vulnerable REST endpoint was observed to bind to all available network interfaces regardless of the setting passed to the installer script. This behavior may increase exposure in deployments where administrators believe access is restricted to specific interfaces or trusted networks.

CVE-2026-10621 A Zip Slip vulnerability during extraction is exposed through POST /rest/restore and enables path traversal. When a ZIP archive is processed, file paths contained within the archive are not properly validated or canonicalized before extraction.
A remote attacker can supply a crafted ZIP archive containing directory traversal sequences, such as ../, to write files outside of the intended extraction directory. This may allow attackers to write custom files to arbitrary locations on the underlying host.
In an observed exploitation path, this arbitrary file write can be used to place a malicious JSP file into a web-accessible directory, enabling remote code execution when the file is subsequently requested over HTTP.

Impact

A remote, unauthenticated attacker can chain these vulnerabilities to achieve remote code execution on the affected system. An attacker who successfully exploits these issues may be able to:
- install a persistent web shell
- read, modify, or delete application data
- disrupt system availability
- potentially pivot further into surrounding environment
Because exploitation does not require authentication, deployments reachable across public internet may be at significant risk.

Solution

Collibra has released the following versions to address these vulnerabilities.

Collibra Plaform (SaaS):
2026.05
2026.04.5
2026.03.4
2026.02.6
2025.11.7
2025.10.9

Collibra Platform Self Hosted (on-prem):
2026.03 (Build 2026.03.356)
2025.10 (Build 2025.10.399)

Users are strongly encouraged to update to the fixed release as soon as possible. Refer to Collibra documentation and release notes for patching and deployment guidance.
Administrators should ensure that interfaces exposing REST endpoints are not exposed to untrusted networks and should restrict access to management interfaces wherever possible.

VU#873170.2
Path traversal in restore handler in Collibra Agent, allows an attacker to write arbitrary files via a crafted ZIP archive. Collibra Agent fails to properly validate and canonicalize file path during ZIP extraction, this can allow an attacker to write files outside the intended extraction directory.

VU#873170.1
Improper Authentication in REST API in Collibra Agent, allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to access privileged functionality via exposed /rest/* endpoints.
