Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: High: There is a total loss of integrity, or a complete loss of protection. For example, the attacker is able to modify any/all files protected by the impacted component. Alternatively, only some files can be modified, but malicious modification would present a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.
Availability: High: There is total loss of availability, resulting in the attacker being able to fully deny access to resources in the impacted component; this loss is either sustained (while the attacker continues to deliver the attack) or persistent (the condition persists even after the attack has completed). Alternatively, the attacker has the ability to deny some availability, but the loss of availability presents a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component (e.g., the attacker cannot disrupt existing connections, but can prevent new connections; the attacker can repeatedly exploit a vulnerability that, in each instance of a successful attack, leaks a only small amount of memory, but after repeated exploitation causes a service to become completely unavailable).

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 27 Oct 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 30 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Users should implement a binding check that verifies the registration_access_token presented in the request belongs to the client identified by client_id, ensuring the token and client are linked as required by RFC 7592. Developers must not rely on the provided example implementations as they omit this critical check. Until an official fix or updated guidance is released, manual code review and correction of the authorization logic is necessary to prevent exploitation.

Description

CVE-2026-116672 affects Omnara's implementation of Authlib's RFC 7592 dynamic client registration management endpoint. The provided example code for client authentication and permission checking omits a critical step: binding the registration_access_token to the specific client being accessed. This omission allows an attacker possessing any valid registration_access_token and knowledge of a client_id to bypass authorization and access or modify other clients' registrations. The vulnerability arises because the example implementations do not verify that the token presented belongs to the client identified in the request, violating the protocol's security model.

Impact

An attacker with any valid registration_access_token and knowledge or guess of a client_id can bypass authorization controls to read, update, or delete other clients' registrations. This compromises the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of client registration data. The vulnerability has a high CVSS score (8.8) reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, low privileges required, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Summary

RFC 7592 defines a protocol for OAuth 2.0 dynamic client registration management, where clients use a registration_access_token to manage their own registration. Omnara's Authlib-based ClientConfigurationEndpoint correctly structures the flow but the documented example implementations for authenticate_client and check_permission fail to bind the token to the client being accessed. Specifically, authenticate_client looks up the client solely by client_id from the request payload without referencing the token, and check_permission only checks a client property without verifying token ownership. This results in an authorization bypass where possession of any valid registration_access_token and knowledge of a client_id grants unauthorized access to that client's registration. No corrected reference implementation is provided in the repository, and the misleading examples encourage insecure implementations.
