CVE-2026-61574

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

authentik is an open-source identity provider. Prior to 2026.2.6 and 2026.5.5, the Remote Access Control endpoint list returns every configured endpoint to any authenticated user regardless of which applications the user may access, and the response includes connection settings that can contain stored credentials. The endpoint listing does not apply the access controls governing the endpoints, and the connection flow does not confirm that an endpoint belongs to the Remote Access Control application through which it was launched. Any authenticated user can therefore read every endpoint together with its host and stored credentials and can open a connection to an endpoint belonging to another application. This exposes stored credentials for managed RDP, SSH, and VNC targets and grants interactive access to systems the user was never authorized to reach. Deployments that do not use the enterprise Remote Access Control provider are not affected. This issue is fixed in versions 2026.2.6 and 2026.5.5.

      "value": "authentik es un proveedor de identidad de código abierto. Antes de 2026.2.6 y 2026.5.5, la lista de puntos finales de Control de Acceso Remoto devuelve cada punto final configurado a cualquier usuario autenticado, independientemente de las aplicaciones a las que el usuario pueda acceder, y la respuesta incluye configuraciones de conexión que pueden contener credenciales almacenadas. La lista de puntos finales no aplica los controles de acceso que rigen los puntos finales, y el flujo de conexión no confirma que un punto final pertenece a la aplicación de Control de Acceso Remoto a través de la cual fue lanzado. Cualquier usuario autenticado puede, por lo tanto, leer cada punto final junto con su host y credenciales almacenadas y puede abrir una conexión a un punto final perteneciente a otra aplicación. Esto expone credenciales almacenadas para objetivos RDP, SSH y VNC gestionados y otorga acceso interactivo a sistemas a los que el usuario nunca fue autorizado a acceder. Las implementaciones que no utilizan el proveedor de Control de Acceso Remoto empresarial no se ven afectadas. Este problema está solucionado en las versiones 2026.2.6 y 2026.5.5."
