CVE detail

CVE-2026-45246

Summarize prior to 0.15.1 contains an insecure file permission vulnerability in the refresh-free configuration rewrite path that allows local users to read sensitive credentials by exploiting default filesystem permissions. When the refresh-free path rewrites the configuration file, it creates the replacement with default process umask permissions instead of preserving the original file permissions, exposing the config file containing API keys and provider credentials to other local users on shared Unix-like systems.

Exploit code

Public exploit repository references

Public PoC repositories are third-party, potentially unsafe artifacts. Treat their code as untrusted and use it only on authorized systems in an isolated, least-privilege environment. cvebuzz does not execute the code or verify that an exploit works.

External lookup

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-2026-45246.

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

Attack Vector (AV): Local. The attacker needs local access to the vulnerable system.
Attack Complexity (AC): Low. No special conditions beyond the attacker-controlled steps are required.
Attack Requirements (AT): None. No prerequisite deployment or execution condition is required.
Privileges Required (PR): Low. The attacker needs basic user-level privileges.
User Interaction (UI): None. Exploitation does not require a targeted user to act.
Vulnerable System Confidentiality (VC): High. There is a total or serious impact to this security property.
Vulnerable System Integrity (VI): None. There is no direct impact to this security property.
Vulnerable System Availability (VA): None. There is no direct impact to this security property.
Subsequent System Confidentiality (SC): None. There is no direct impact to this security property.
Subsequent System Integrity (SI): None. There is no direct impact to this security property.
Subsequent System Availability (SA): None. There is no direct impact to this security property.

Optional CVSS v4 metrics remain in the raw vector; only base metrics are expanded here.
