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-2026-71879 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-2026-71879/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-71879/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-71879","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-71879/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-71879","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-25rh-cr4w-2wx6"],"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 during initial setup to gain administrative control in GBIF Integrated Publishing Toolkit.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Mandiant","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-288","name":"Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel"}],"description":"Missing authentication in initial setup functionality left exposed until first reboot 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-2026-71879","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":"Server-side template injection in Integrated Publishing Toolkit","id":"CVE-2026-71880"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Authentication bypass in Integrated Publishing Toolkit","id":"CVE-2026-71878"},"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 during initial setup to gain administrative control in GBIF Integrated Publishing Toolkit.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-71879/"}
