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-2026-71878 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: GBIF Integrated Publishing Toolkit. 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-2026-71878/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-71878/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-71878","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-71878/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-71878","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9cwq-xr29-c4rp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GBIF Integrated Publishing Toolkit","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can bypass authentication in the exposed initial setup functionality to gain administrative control over the GBIF Integrated Publishing Toolkit.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Mandiant","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.2,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-306","name":"Missing Authentication for Critical Functionality"}],"description":"Missing authentication in initial setup functionality left exposed after initial setup is completed in GBIF Integrated Publishing Toolkit versions before 3.3.4 allows remote authenticated attackers to gain administrative control via authentication bypass","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":"Authentication bypass in Integrated Publishing Toolkit","id":"CVE-2026-71878","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Authentication bypass in Integrated Publishing Toolkit","id":"CVE-2026-71879"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Orval: Import-time RCE via header-parameter default -\u003e zod module-level template literal","id":"CVE-2026-71871"},"products":["Integrated Publishing Toolkit"],"published":"2026-08-18","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-18","vendors":["GBIF"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can bypass authentication in the exposed initial setup functionality to gain administrative control over the GBIF Integrated Publishing Toolkit.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-71878/"}
