CVE-2026-31216: n/a
CVE-2026-31216 is a critical vulnerability in the nexent v1.7.5.2 backend service's file management API. The DELETE /storage/{object_name:path} endpoint does not implement authentication, authorization, or input validation, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to delete arbitrary files from the underlying MinIO storage. Exploitation can cause significant data loss and denial of service. There is no confirmed patch or official remediation available at this time.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability exists in the nexent v1.7.5.2 backend service where the DELETE /storage/{object_name:path} API endpoint lacks proper security controls such as authentication, authorization, and input validation. This allows unauthenticated attackers to craft requests with arbitrary file paths to delete files stored in the MinIO storage system used by the service. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-552 (Files or Directories Accessible to External Parties) and has a CVSS v3.1 score of 9.1, indicating critical severity with high impact on integrity and availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation leads to unauthorized deletion of arbitrary files in the MinIO storage system, resulting in data loss and denial of service conditions for the affected service. The vulnerability does not impact confidentiality but severely impacts integrity and availability of stored data.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the vulnerable API endpoint by network controls or implement compensating controls such as authentication and authorization proxies if possible.
