CVE-2026-50884
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedIncorrect access control in statping-ng v0.93.0 allows attackers to escalate privileges to Administrator and access sensitive components.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceIncorrect access control in statping-ng v0.93.0 allows attackers to escalate privileges to Administrator level, bypassing proper authorization checks to gain unauthorized access to sensitive administrative components and functionality.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify statping-ng versionCheck the running statping-ng instance version by visiting the application homepage, checking the /about endpoint, or running 'statping-ng --version' if accessible via CLIAffected if Version is 0.93.0 exactly or falls within the affected range without a security patch applied
-
Verify admin interface accessibilityAttempt to access administrative endpoints such as /admin, /dashboard, or /settings without providing credentials or with a low-privilege accountAffected if Administrative pages load without requiring proper authentication or privilege validation
-
Check for unauthorized privilege escalationUse a low-privilege or unauthenticated session to modify request parameters (such as user roles, IDs, or cookies) and observe if role changes to Administrator are acceptedAffected if The application allows privilege escalation to Administrator level without proper authorization checks
-
Inspect user role configurationExamine the application's user database, configuration files, or API responses to verify if role-based access control is properly enforced for all administrative functionsAffected if Role-based access control is missing or improperly implemented, allowing unauthorized access to admin functionality
A user is affected if running statping-ng v0.93.0 and the administrative interface or privileged functions are accessible without proper authentication or authorization checks.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpgrade statping-ng to the latest patched version that addresses the access control vulnerability. If no patched version exists, review and harden the authentication/authorization middleware to enforce proper role-based access control checks before granting administrative privileges.
