CVE-2026-92570: Missing Authorization in yogeshojha rengine
reNgine through 2.2.0 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in the GetFileContents API endpoint that allows any authenticated user to read bundled recon tool configuration files. Attackers with low-privilege Auditor roles can access files containing third-party API keys for services like SecurityTrails, Shodan, Censys, VirusTotal, BinaryEdge and Hunter by querying the endpoint without role-based permission checks.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-92570 describes an authorization bypass vulnerability in yogeshojha's rengine product through version 2.2.0. The vulnerability exists in the GetFileContents API endpoint, which fails to enforce role-based access control. As a result, users with Auditor roles can retrieve bundled recon tool configuration files, exposing API keys for external services such as SecurityTrails, Shodan, Censys, VirusTotal, BinaryEdge, and Hunter. This exposure can lead to unauthorized access to these third-party services via compromised API credentials.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows low-privilege authenticated users to read sensitive configuration files containing third-party API keys. This could lead to unauthorized use of these external services, potentially resulting in data leakage or abuse of the associated accounts. However, there is no indication of remote unauthenticated exploitation or privilege escalation beyond the Auditor role.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict Auditor role assignments and monitor access to the GetFileContents API endpoint to limit exposure.
