CVE-2026-1109757.4 HIG—
——0A flaw was found in Kruize Autotune. Its REST API ships without an authentication layer, and the endpoints that return datasource configuration — the list-datasources endpoint (GET /datasources) and the datasource-metadata endpoint — serialized datasource objects using a default Gson configuration with no field-exclusion strategy. As a result, the authentication secrets stored for each configured monitoring datasource (basic-auth passwords, bearer tokens, API keys, and OAuth2 client secrets) were returned in cleartext to any client able to reach the service. An attacker with network access to Autotune could harvest these credentials and reuse them to authenticate to the backing monitoring stack.2dCVE-2026-63315—20.2%
——6WebCTI service for Slican IPx telephone exchanges stores temporary subscriber password in plaintext. An attacker with access to the database can obtain the user's password and log in to the subscriber's account.
This issue was fixed in IPx series version 6.62.0100.9dCVE-2026-704145.5 MED0.8%
——0Dell Command | Configure (DCC), versions prior to 5.2.3.35, contain a Plaintext Storage of Password vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Information Disclosure.12dCVE-2026-104892—15.0%
——4Plane is an open-source project management tool. Prior to 1.4.0, aPITokenLogMiddleware logs API keys in plaintext. This allows someone with low privileges to steal user API keys and further escalate their privileges. This issue is fixed in 1.4.0.20dCVE-2026-848847.5 HIG14.8%
——4IBM Guardium Data Protection 12.2 stores internal REST service-account passwords in a reversible plaintext-equivalent format. An authenticated attacker who gains access to the stored credential could recover the password and obtain an administrative REST access token.5dCVE-2026-23807.4 HIG15.3%
——5On affected platforms running Arista EOS with OpenConfig-related services (i.e., gNMI, gNSI, RESTCONF and NETCONF), sensitive requests and responses may be unintentionally logged. These may be stored on the local EOS device or recorded on remote accounting servers. Note that gRPC-based streaming via Streaming Telemetry Agent to CloudVision is not affected by this vulnerability.
Examples of sensitive information include:
- Sensitive CLI commands (e.g., "username bob secret myPass")
- Sensitive OpenConfig YANG leafs (e.g., "system/aaa/global/tacacs/config/secret-key")
This issue was discovered internally by Arista, and the company is not aware of any malicious exploitation of this vulnerability in customer networks.39d
