description

Affected Octopus Server versions improperly validate certain role-modification inputs. An authenticated user with permission to modify roles could weaken a built-in role and add their own account to a privileged team, escalating privileges.

mitigation

Upgrade Octopus Server to 2026.1.11768, 2026.2.13408, or 2026.3.15816, as appropriate for your release line. Until upgraded, restrict role-modification permission to tightly trusted administrators.
