Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: High: There is a total loss of integrity, or a complete loss of protection. For example, the attacker is able to modify any/all files protected by the impacted component. Alternatively, only some files can be modified, but malicious modification would present a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

European organizations should immediately audit their use of Dify, specifically version 1.9.1, and the exposure of the /console/api/setup endpoint. If possible, restrict access to this endpoint via network controls such as IP whitelisting or VPN-only access. Implement strict validation of the Origin header on the server side to allow only trusted domains and disable Access-Control-Allow-Credentials unless absolutely necessary. If the bootstrap functionality requires this configuration, consider alternative secure bootstrap methods that do not expose such broad CORS permissions. Monitor logs for suspicious cross-origin requests and unauthorized access attempts. Engage with the vendor or community to obtain or develop patches that properly secure the CORS policy. In the interim, consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules to block suspicious CORS headers or anomalous requests targeting the vulnerable endpoint. Educate developers and administrators about the risks of insecure CORS configurations and enforce secure coding practices for future deployments.

Description

A Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) misconfiguration vulnerability exists in Dify v1.9.1 in the /console/api/setup endpoint. The endpoint implements an insecure CORS policy that reflects any Origin header and enables Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true, permitting arbitrary external domains to make authenticated requests. NOTE: the Supplier disputes this because the endpoint configuration is intentional to support bootstrap.

Impact

For European organizations, exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to severe confidentiality and integrity breaches. Attackers can leverage the misconfigured CORS policy to perform unauthorized actions or steal sensitive information from authenticated sessions, potentially compromising internal data, user credentials, or administrative controls. This risk is heightened in sectors where Dify is used for critical operations or sensitive data management, such as finance, healthcare, or government services. The lack of required authentication and user interaction means attackers can exploit this remotely and at scale, increasing the likelihood of widespread impact. Additionally, the vulnerability could facilitate lateral movement within networks if attackers gain access to internal resources through compromised Dify instances. The reputational damage and regulatory consequences under GDPR for data breaches could be significant for affected European entities.
