CVE-2026-110975: Plaintext Storage of a Password
Description
CVE-2026-110975 is a vulnerability in Kruize Autotune where its REST API lacks authentication, exposing sensitive datasource credentials such as passwords, bearer tokens, API keys, and OAuth2 client secrets in cleartext. These secrets are returned by certain API endpoints to any client with network access, allowing credential harvesting. The vulnerability affects versions from 0 up to but not including 0.11.2. It has a high severity with a CVSS score of 7.4.

Technical Analysis
Kruize Autotune's REST API does not implement an authentication layer, and its endpoints that return datasource configurations (GET /datasources and datasource-metadata) serialize datasource objects without excluding sensitive fields. Consequently, authentication secrets including basic-auth passwords, bearer tokens, API keys, and OAuth2 client secrets are exposed in plaintext to any client able to access the service. An attacker with network access could retrieve these credentials and use them to authenticate to the underlying monitoring infrastructure. The vulnerability affects versions >=0 and <0.11.2.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access to the Kruize Autotune service to retrieve sensitive authentication credentials in plaintext. This exposure can lead to unauthorized access to the backing monitoring stack, potentially compromising monitoring data and infrastructure. The impact is confidentiality loss without direct integrity or availability impact.
Mitigation Recommendations
No explicit patch or remediation is stated in the provided data. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory at https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-110975 for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is applied, restrict network access to the Autotune REST API to trusted clients only to prevent unauthorized credential disclosure.
