CVE-2026-13019 is a critical missing-authentication-for-critical-function vulnerability in Esri Portal for ArcGIS affecting versions 12.1 and earlier on Windows, Linux, and Kubernetes. The flaw exposes an unprotected API associated with a critical function, allowing a remote attacker to reach functionality that should require authentication. Available reporting indicates the issue can be exploited without prior authentication and may enable takeover of user accounts in affected deployments, particularly where built-in accounts are enabled.
