| CVE-2026-34072 | Hig | 0.54 | 8.3 | 0.00 | Apr 1, 2026 | Cr*nMaster (cronmaster) is a Cronjob management UI with human readable syntax, live logging and log history for cronjobs. Prior to version 2.2.0, an authentication bypass in middleware allows unauthenticated requests with an invalid session cookie to be treated as authenticated when the middleware’s session-validation fetch fails. This can result in unauthorized access to protected pages and unauthorized execution of privileged Next.js Server Actions. This issue has been patched in version 2.2.0. | |
| CVE-2025-49596 | Cri | 0.54 | — | 0.02 | Jun 13, 2025 | The MCP inspector is a developer tool for testing and debugging MCP servers. Versions of MCP Inspector below 0.14.1 are vulnerable to remote code execution due to lack of authentication between the Inspector client and proxy, allowing unauthenticated requests to launch MCP commands over stdio. Users should immediately upgrade to version 0.14.1 or later to address these vulnerabilities. | |

| CVE-2026-42222 | Hig | 0.53 | 8.1 | 0.00 | May 4, 2026 | Nginx UI is a web user interface for the Nginx web server. In version 2.3.5, an unauthenticated bootstrap takeover exists in nginx-ui during the initial installation window exposed by POST /api/install. At time of publication no public patches are available. | |
| CVE-2026-42221 | Hig | 0.53 | 8.1 | 0.00 | May 4, 2026 | Nginx UI is a web user interface for the Nginx web server. From version 2.0.0 to before version 2.3.8, an unauthenticated network attacker can claim the initial administrator account on a fresh nginx-ui instance during the first-run setup window. The public /api/install endpoint is reachable without authentication, and the request-encryption flow only protects payload confidentiality in transit; it does not authenticate who is allowed to perform installation. A remote attacker who reaches the service before the legitimate operator can set the admin email, username, and password, causing permanent initial-instance takeover. This issue has been patched in version 2.3.8. | |
| CVE-2026-5944 | Hig | 0.53 | 8.2 | 0.00 | Apr 28, 2026 | An improper access control vulnerability exists in the Cisco Intersight Device Connector for Nutanix Prism Central. The service exposes an API passthrough endpoint on TCP port 7373 that is accessible within the network scope of the deployment environment without authentication. An unauthenticated attacker with network access can exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted requests to the exposed endpoint to enumerate cluster metadata, including virtual machine information and cluster configuration details. While the API primarily supports read-only operations, it also allows certain cluster maintenance workflows to be invoked. Although this vulnerability does not allow persistent modification of system configurations or access to credentials or sensitive user data, successful exploitation may result in disruption of active workloads, leading to loss of service availability within the affected environment. | |
| CVE-2026-41273 | Hig | 0.53 | 8.2 | 0.00 | Apr 23, 2026 | Flowise is a drag & drop user interface to build a customized large language model flow. Prior to 3.1.0, Flowise contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows an unauthenticated attacker to obtain OAuth 2.0 access tokens associated with a public chatflow. By accessing a public chatflow configuration endpoint, an attacker can retrieve internal workflow data, including OAuth credential identifiers, which can then be used to refresh and obtain valid OAuth 2.0 access tokens without authentication. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.1.0. | |
| CVE-2026-39393 | Hig | 0.53 | 8.1 | 0.00 | Apr 8, 2026 | CI4MS is a CodeIgniter 4-based CMS skeleton that delivers a production-ready, modular architecture with RBAC authorization and theme support. Prior to 0.31.4.0, the install route guard in ci4ms relies solely on a volatile cache check (cache('settings')) combined with .env file existence to block post-installation access to the setup wizard. When the database is temporarily unreachable during a cache miss (TTL expiry or admin-triggered cache clear), the guard fails open, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to overwrite the .env file with attacker-controlled database credentials, achieving full application takeover. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.31.4.0. | |
| CVE-2026-4272 | Hig | 0.53 | 8.1 | 0.00 | Apr 5, 2026 | Missing Authentication for Critical Function vulnerability in Honeywell Handheld Scanners allows Authentication Abuse.This issue affects Handheld Scanners: from C1 Base(Ingenic x1000) before GK000432BAA, from D1 Base(Ingenic x1600) before HE000085BAA, from A1/B1 Base(IMX25) before BK000763BAA_BK000765BAA_CU000101BAA. This vulnerability could allow a remote attacker within Bluetooth range of the scanner's base station has the capability to remotely execute system commands on the host connected to the base station without authentication. This issue has been assigned CVE-2026-4272 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-4272 and rated with a severity of High. Honeywell strongly recommends that users upgrade to the latest version identified to resolve the vulnerability. | |

Attackers can send GET requests to the users_select.php endpoint with crafted SQL payloads to extract sensitive database information including patient records and system credentials. | |
| CVE-2025-15517 | Hig | 0.53 | 8.1 | 0.00 | Mar 23, 2026 | A missing authentication check in the HTTP server on TP-Link Archer NX200, NX210, NX500 and NX600 to certain cgi endpoints allows unauthenticated access intended for authenticated users. An attacker may perform privileged HTTP actions without authentication, including firmware upload and configuration operations. | |
| CVE-2026-22731 | Hig | 0.53 | 8.2 | 0.00 | Mar 19, 2026 | Spring Boot applications with Actuator can be vulnerable to an "Authentication Bypass" vulnerability when an application endpoint that requires authentication is declared under a specific path, already configured for a Health Group additional path. This issue affects Spring Boot: from 4.0 before 4.0.3, from 3.5 before 3.5.11, from 3.4 before 3.4.15. This CVE is similar but not equivalent to CVE-2026-22733, as the conditions for exploit and vulnerable versions are different. | |
| CVE-2026-3558 | Hig | 0.53 | 8.1 | 0.00 | Mar 16, 2026 | Philips Hue Bridge HomeKit Accessory Protocol Transient Pairing Mode Authentication Bypass Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to bypass authentication on affected installations of Philips Hue Bridge. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the configuration of the HomeKit Accessory Protocol service, which listens on TCP port 8080 by default. The issue results from the lack of authentication prior to allowing access to functionality. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to bypass authentication on the system. Was ZDI-CAN-28374. | |

| CVE-2025-15346 | Cri | 0.53 | — | 0.00 | Jan 8, 2026 | A vulnerability in the handling of verify_mode = CERT_REQUIRED in the wolfssl Python package (wolfssl-py) causes client certificate requirements to not be fully enforced. Because the WOLFSSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT flag was not included, the behavior effectively matched CERT_OPTIONAL: a peer certificate was verified if presented, but connections were incorrectly authenticated when no client certificate was provided. This results in improper authentication, allowing attackers to bypass mutual TLS (mTLS) client authentication by omitting a client certificate during the TLS handshake. The issue affects versions up to and including 5.8.2. | |
| CVE-2026-0650 | Cri | 0.53 | — | 0.00 | Jan 7, 2026 | OpenFlagr versions prior to and including 1.1.18 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability in the HTTP middleware. Due to improper handling of path normalization in the whitelist logic, crafted requests can bypass authentication and access protected API endpoints without valid credentials. Unauthorized access may allow modification of feature flags and export of sensitive data. |
