An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-54864 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: NixOS hydra. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-54864/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-54864/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-54864","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-54864/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-54864","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qpq3-646c-vgx9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Nix CI service","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can trigger resource-intensive evaluations without authentication, causing denial of service on the Hydra CI host.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"hydra","vendor":"nixos"}],"cvss":{"score":6.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-306","name":"Missing Authentication for Critical Functionality"}],"description":"Hydra is a continuous integration service for Nix based projects. Prior to commit f7bda02, /api/push-github and /api/push-gitea are called by the corresponding forge without HTTP Basic authentication. Both forges do however feature HMAC signing with a secret key. Triggering an evaluation can be very taxing on the infrastructure when large evaluations are done, introducing potential denial of service attacks on the host running the evaluator. This issue has been patched by commit f7bda02. A workaround involves blocking /api/push-github and /api/push-gitea via a reverse proxy.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Hydra missing authentication when triggering evaluations through GitHub and Gitea plugins","id":"CVE-2025-54864","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Tilesheets MediaWiki Extension is Vulnerable to Potential SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2025-54865"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Insufficiently Protected Credentials in Radiometrics VizAir","id":"CVE-2025-54863"},"products":["hydra"],"published":"2025-08-12","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Nix Hydra Missing authentication when triggering evaluations","id":"CVE-2024-45049","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-27"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"Hydra persistent XSS in build metrics","id":"CVE-2025-54800","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-08-12"},{"cvss_score":4.6,"headline":"Hydra has persistent XSS vulnerability serving HTML build outputs","id":"CVE-2024-32657","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-22"},{"cvss_score":2.6,"headline":"Hydra no restricted eval after nix-eval-jobs migration","id":"CVE-2025-32435","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-04-15"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-08-12","vendors":["NixOS"]},"summary":"Attackers can trigger resource-intensive evaluations without authentication, causing denial of service on the Hydra CI host.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-54864/"}
