CVE-2026-53497: CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in cenodude CrossWatch
CVE-2026-53497 is a medium severity vulnerability in cenodude CrossWatch prior to version 0.9.21. The GET /api/app-auth/status endpoint is accessible without authentication and exposes metadata of all active sessions, including IP addresses, User-Agent strings, internal session IDs, and timestamps. This allows unauthenticated attackers to enumerate sensitive session information. The issue is fixed in version 0.9.21.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CrossWatch versions before 0.9.21 have an unauthenticated information disclosure vulnerability via the GET /api/app-auth/status endpoint. This endpoint returns the other_sessions array containing metadata about all active sessions, such as originating IP addresses, User-Agent strings, internal session IDs, and creation/expiry timestamps. Because no authentication is required, any network attacker can access this data without credentials. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information) and CWE-359 (Exposure of Private Information Through Query Strings in GET Request). The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.3, indicating medium severity. The issue is resolved in CrossWatch version 0.9.21.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can obtain sensitive metadata about all active sessions, including IP addresses and session identifiers. This exposure may aid attackers in reconnaissance or further attacks but does not directly impact integrity or availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade CrossWatch to version 0.9.21 or later, where the issue is fixed. No other mitigation or workaround is indicated.
