CVE-2026-41308: CWE-288: Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel in pglombardo PasswordPusher
Password Pusher is an open source application to communicate sensitive information over the web. Prior to versions 1.69.3 and 2.4.2, a security issue in OSS PasswordPusher allowed unauthenticated creation of file-type pushes through a generic JSON API create path under certain configurations. This could bypass the intended authentication boundary for file push creation. This issue has been patched in versions 1.69.3 and 2.4.2.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-41308 is an authentication bypass vulnerability (CWE-288) in the open source PasswordPusher application by pglombardo. The flaw exists in versions before 1.69.3 and between 2.0.0-a and 2.4.2, where unauthenticated attackers can create file-type pushes through a generic JSON API create endpoint under specific configurations, circumventing authentication requirements. This could allow unauthorized creation of sensitive file pushes. The vulnerability has been patched in versions 1.69.3 and 2.4.2.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass authentication and create file-type pushes, potentially leading to unauthorized data injection or manipulation. The CVSS score of 6.5 (medium severity) reflects a network attack vector with no privileges required and no user interaction needed, causing low confidentiality impact but integrity and availability impacts.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available in PasswordPusher versions 1.69.3 and 2.4.2. Users should upgrade to these or later versions to remediate the vulnerability. No vendor advisory was provided to indicate alternative mitigations or that no action is required.
