CVE-2026-63098: Missing Authentication for Critical Function in TheHive-Project TheHive
TheHive through 4.1.24 contains an unauthenticated information disclosure vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to retrieve sensitive configuration data by sending a GET request to the /api/status endpoint, which lacks authentication enforcement in the StatusCtrl.scala handler. Attackers can obtain the datastore attachment protection password, configured authentication providers, SSO settings, MFA capabilities, and clustered node addresses and roles without any credentials.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-63098 affects TheHive through version 4.1.24. The vulnerability arises because the /api/status endpoint, handled by StatusCtrl.scala, lacks authentication enforcement. This allows unauthenticated attackers to retrieve sensitive configuration information such as datastore attachment protection passwords, configured authentication providers, single sign-on (SSO) settings, multi-factor authentication (MFA) capabilities, and details about clustered nodes including their addresses and roles. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9, indicating a medium severity vulnerability. No official patch or remediation level is currently documented, and no known exploits are reported in the wild.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can obtain sensitive configuration data from TheHive instances up to version 4.1.24. This information disclosure could aid attackers in further attacks or unauthorized access by revealing security configurations and cluster topology. However, the vulnerability does not allow direct system compromise or code execution by itself.
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 /api/status endpoint to trusted users or networks where possible to prevent unauthenticated access. Monitor vendor communications for updates regarding a patch or official mitigation.
