CVE detail

CVE-2026-40606

mitmproxy is a interactive TLS-capable intercepting HTTP proxy for penetration testers and software developers and mitmweb is a web-based interface for mitmproxy. In mitmproxy 12.2.1 and below, the builtin LDAP proxy authentication does not correctly sanitize the username when querying the LDAP server. This allows a malicious client to bypass authentication. Only mitmproxy instances using the proxyauth option with LDAP are affected. This option is not enabled by default. The vulnerability has been fixed in mitmproxy 12.2.2 and above.

Potential internet exposure

Potential exposure only — not proof of vulnerability.Shodan results indicate potentially internet-exposed products, not confirmed vulnerable systems. They do not confirm that any returned system is vulnerable to CVE-2026-40606.

Product-level CPE searches intentionally omit version fields and NVD version-range or configuration certainty. Verify the exact product version and configuration independently.

Sign-in required. Shodan requires you to sign in to run these filter searches.

How this vector reads

CVSS 3.1 base metrics decoded below. This explanation does not recalculate or change the NVD score.

Attack Vector (AV): Network. The vulnerable system can be reached across network boundaries.
Attack Complexity (AC): High. Successful exploitation depends on conditions outside the attacker's control.
Privileges Required (PR): None. The attacker needs no privileges on the vulnerable system.
User Interaction (UI): None. Exploitation does not require another user to act.
Scope (S): Unchanged. Impacts remain within the vulnerable security authority.
Confidentiality Impact (C): Low. There is a limited impact to this security property.
Integrity Impact (I): Low. There is a limited impact to this security property.
Availability Impact (A): None. There is no direct impact to this security property.
