CVE-2026-46711: CWE-306: Missing Authentication for Critical Function in Soft-Machine-io security
CVE-2026-46711 is a high-severity vulnerability in Soft Machine's workspace HTTP service versions 0.2.247 and earlier. The service listens on all interfaces (0.0.0.0:8080) and exposes several endpoints without any authentication or origin verification. This allows any host with network access to the workspace's TCP port 8080 to read arbitrary files and download entire project directories. Additionally, because all workspaces share a private network and resolve peer addresses via an unauthenticated internal DNS record, any other workspace within the same Fly app or organization can act as an unauthenticated attacker. This effectively breaks the trust boundary between workspace owners and other users. No patches are publicly known at the time of publication.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Soft Machine versions 0.2.247 and prior have a missing authentication vulnerability (CWE-306) in their workspace HTTP service. The service listens on 0.0.0.0:8080 and exposes endpoints (/health, /file/<path>, /archive/<dir>) without authentication or origin checks. This allows any host able to reach the TCP port to read arbitrary files under the workspace root and download entire project trees as tar archives. Since all workspaces share a private 6PN network and resolve peer addresses via an unauthenticated internal TXT record, any other workspace in the same Fly app/org can access these endpoints unauthenticated, violating the trust boundary between workspace owners and others. No official patches or fixes are available at the time of publication.
Potential Impact
An attacker with network access to the workspace's TCP port 8080 can read arbitrary files and download entire project directories without authentication. Furthermore, any other workspace within the same Fly app or organization can exploit this vulnerability due to shared private networking and unauthenticated internal DNS resolution. This leads to a complete compromise of confidentiality and integrity of workspace data, with limited availability impact.
Mitigation Recommendations
At the time of publication, no official patches or fixes are available. Users should restrict network access to the workspace HTTP service on port 8080 to trusted hosts only and consider isolating workspaces to prevent unauthorized internal access. Monitor vendor advisories for updates or patches addressing this issue.
