Attack Vector: Network
Attack Complexity: Low

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

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, 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: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the Vulnerable System are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.

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 13 Nov 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.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity 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

Deployments should consider setting the CACHE_REVALIDATION_TOKEN environment variable as a temporary mitigation to enable the existing guard. Until a vendor patch or official remediation is released, restrict access to the affected API endpoint and monitor for suspicious activity. Check the vendor advisory regularly for updates.

Description

A security vulnerability has been detected in notionnext-org NotionNext up to 4.10.10. Affected by this issue is the function cleanCache of the file pages/api/cache.js of the component Authentication Guard. The manipulation of the argument token leads to missing authentication. The attack may be initiated remotely. Versions 4.1.0 - 4.9.5.2 allow unauthenticated exploitation due to missing method check. In versions 4.9.5.7 - 4.10.10 a guard present but only enforced when CACHE_REVALIDATION_TOKEN is set. Default deployments remain unprotected. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Impact

An attacker can remotely exploit this vulnerability to bypass authentication controls in the cleanCache function, potentially allowing unauthorized access to cache-related operations. This could lead to unauthorized data manipulation or information disclosure depending on the cache's role in the application. The vulnerability affects all deployments that do not have the CACHE_REVALIDATION_TOKEN environment variable set, which is the default state, increasing the risk of exploitation.

Summary

The vulnerability CVE-2026-101004 in NotionNext affects the cleanCache function in pages/api/cache.js within the Authentication Guard component. It allows an attacker to bypass authentication by manipulating the token argument. In versions 4.1.0 to 4.9.5.2, there is no method check, enabling unauthenticated exploitation. Later versions 4.9.5.7 to 4.10.10 introduce a guard, but it is conditional on the CACHE_REVALIDATION_TOKEN environment variable being set, which is not enabled by default, leaving many deployments vulnerable. The vendor has not provided any response or patch to address this issue.
