CVE-2026-2038

GFI Archiver MArc.Core Missing Authorization Authentication Bypass Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass authentication on affected installations of GFI Archiver. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the configuration of the MArc.Core.Remoting.exe process, which listens on port 8017. The issue results from the lack of authorization prior to allowing access to functionality. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute code in the context of SYSTEM. Was ZDI-CAN-27934.

Summary		(es) Vulnerabilidad de omisión de autenticación por falta de autorización en GFI Archiver MArc.Core. Esta vulnerabilidad permite a atacantes remotos omitir la autenticación en instalaciones afectadas de GFI Archiver. No es necesario estar autenticado para explotar esta vulnerabilidad. La falla reside en la configuración del proceso MArc.Core.Remoting.exe, que escucha en el puerto 8017. El problema se debe a la falta de autorización antes de permitir el acceso a la funcionalidad. Un atacante puede aprovechar esto junto con otras vulnerabilidades para ejecutar código en el contexto de SYSTEM. Fue ZDI-CAN-27934.
