CVE-2026-40050
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
CrowdStrike has released security updates to address a critical unauthenticated path traversal vulnerability (CVE-2026-40050) in LogScale. This vulnerability only requires mitigation by customers that host specific versions of LogScale and does not affect Next-Gen SIEM customers. The vulnerability exists in a specific cluster API endpoint that, if exposed, allows a remote attacker to read arbitrary files from the server filesystem without authentication. Next-Gen SIEM customers are not affected and do not need to take any action. CrowdStrike mitigated the vulnerability for LogScale SaaS customers by deploying network-layer blocks to all clusters on April 7, 2026. We have proactively reviewed all log data and there is no evidence of exploitation. LogScale Self-hosted customers should upgrade to a patched version immediately to remediate the vulnerability. CrowdStrike identified this vulnerability during continuous and ongoing product testing.

Esta vulnerabilidad solo requiere mitigación por parte de los clientes que alojan versiones específicas de LogScale y no afecta a los clientes de Next-Gen SIEM. La vulnerabilidad existe en un endpoint de API de clúster específico que, si se expone, permite a un atacante remoto leer archivos arbitrarios del sistema de archivos del servidor sin autenticación.\n\nLos clientes de Next-Gen SIEM no se ven afectados y no necesitan tomar ninguna medida. CrowdStrike mitigó la vulnerabilidad para los clientes de LogScale SaaS mediante el despliegue de bloqueos a nivel de red en todos los clústeres el 7 de abril de 2026. Hemos revisado proactivamente todos los datos de registro y no hay evidencia de explotación.\n\nLos clientes de LogScale autoalojado deben actualizar a una versión parcheada inmediatamente para remediar la vulnerabilidad.\n\nCrowdStrike identificó esta vulnerabilidad durante las pruebas de producto continuas y en curso."
