# Scalable Platforms: admin can bypass Sync protection via NAT rule

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-120490 (this .md is for agents)

An administrator who can edit Access Control Policy and NAT rules can create a NAT rule that redirects traffic to the Gateway's Sync interface, getting around its built-in Sync protection. The sources say this could let that administrator run operating system commands and write files on the Gateway with superuser privileges.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## From the sources

On Scalable Platforms, an administrator with permissions to edit and install the Access Control Policy and NAT rules can create a NAT rule that redirects traffic to the Gateway's Sync interface, bypassing the built-in Sync protection. This could allow the administrator to execute operating system commands and write files on the Gateway with superuser privileges.
