CVE-2026-25937

What is this vulnerability?

CVE-2026-25937 is categorized as a critical Sensitive Data Exposure flaw. Based on our vulnerability intelligence, this issue occurs when the application fails to securely handle untrusted data boundaries.

GLPI is a free Asset and IT management software package. Starting in version 11.0.0 and prior to version 11.0.6, a malicious actor with knowledge of a user...

This architectural defect enables adversaries to bypass intended security controls, directly manipulating the application's execution state or data layer. Immediate strategic intervention is required.

Risk Assessment

Impact on Systems

✅ Authentication Bypass: Leaked credentials allow attackers to impersonate legitimate users or systems.

✅ Data Breach: Exposed PII triggers regulatory violations (GDPR/CCPA) and massive reputational damage.

✅ Lateral Movement: Exposed API tokens can be used to pivot deeper into internal infrastructure.

How to fix this issue?

Implement the following strategic mitigations immediately to eliminate the attack surface.

1. Secret Management Migrate all hardcoded secrets to a secure vault (e.g., AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault).

2. Data Masking Implement automated redaction for logs to prevent PII/credentials from leaking into observability platforms.

3. Automated Scanning Deploy Precogs Secrets Scanner in pre-commit hooks and CI pipelines to prevent secret commits.

Vulnerability Signature

// Generic Secrets Exposure Vector
// DANGEROUS: Hardcoded secrets in source control or logs
const apiKey = "sk_live_1234567890abcdef";
console.log(`Connecting to API with key $\{apiKey\}`);

// SECURED: Secrets fetched from environment at runtime
const apiKey = process.env.API_SECRET_KEY;
if (!apiKey) throw new Error("API configuration missing");
// Never log secrets
console.log('Connecting to API... [REDACTED]');

Vulnerability Code Signature

Attack Data Flow

Vulnerable Code Pattern

// ❌ VULNERABLE: Improper Authentication
app.post('/login', (req, res) => {
  const { username, password } = req.body;
  // Taint sink: weak or bypassable validation
  if (username === 'admin' || password === 'secret') {
    req.session.authenticated = true;
    res.send('Logged in');
  }
});

Secure Code Pattern

// ✅ SECURE: Robust Authentication
const bcrypt = require('bcrypt');
app.post('/login', async (req, res) => {
  const { username, password } = req.body;
  const user = await db.getUser(username);
  // Sanitized validation: secure password comparison
  if (user && await bcrypt.compare(password, user.passwordHash)) {
    req.session.authenticated = true;
    res.send('Logged in');
  } else {
    res.status(401).send('Invalid credentials');
  }
});
