Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-74994 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Erlang OTP. 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-2026-74994/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74994/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-74994","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74994/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-74994","record":{"aliases":["AZL-98496","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-74994","EEF-CVE-2026-74994","GHSA-c3cq-q8x6-547g","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-74994"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Erlang OTP httpd","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can bypass authentication in Erlang OTP httpd when using specific backends, gaining unauthorized access to protected directories.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"EEF","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-863","name":"Incorrect Authorization"},{"id":"CWE-1289","name":"Improper Validation of Unsafe Equivalence in Input"}],"description":"The mod_auth module in OTP's inets httpd server, when configured with dets or mnesia authentication backends and multiple directory configuration blocks, collapses all directory blocks into a single shared user/group namespace.
