CVE-2026-34397
Published:April 01, 2026
Updated:April 20, 2026
Himmelblau is an interoperability suite for Microsoft Azure Entra ID and Intune. From versions 2.0.0-alpha to before 2.3.9 and 3.0.0-alpha to before 3.1.1, there is a conditional local privilege escalation vulnerability in an edge-case naming collision. Only authenticated himmelblau users whose mapped CN/short name exactly matches a privileged local group name (e.g., "sudo", "wheel", "docker", "adm") can cause the NSS module to resolve that group name to their fake primary group. If the system uses NSS results for group-based authorization decisions (sudo, polkit, etc.), this can grant the attacker the privileges of that group. This issue has been patched in versions 2.3.9 and 3.1.1.
