An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-78387 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: ransomlook. 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-2026-78387/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-78387/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-78387","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-78387/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-78387","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w97j-4p5m-q72w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"RansomLook web application","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Authenticated low-privileged users can modify sensitive application configuration via the web editor, potentially altering security settings and integrations.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"CIRCL","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.4,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"RansomLook contains an authorization weakness in the web-based configuration editor exposed through the /admin/config endpoint. The endpoint requires an authenticated session but does not perform an explicit privilege or administrator authorization check before allowing access to configuration-management functionality.\n\nAn authenticated low-privileged user able to access the endpoint can submit crafted configuration values that are written directly to the application's config/generic.json file. The affected functionality permits modification of configuration sections including notification, LDAP, SMTP, and general application settings. Successful exploitation could therefore allow an attacker to alter security-sensitive application behavior, redirect integrations or notifications, modify authentication-related configuration, disrupt external services, or render the RansomLook installation unavailable.\n\nThe configuration editor also operated on a configuration file containing sensitive values such as passwords, tokens, secrets, and API keys. Although the affected version contains logic intended to prevent recognized secret values from being returned to the browser, exposing configuration management through insufficiently authorized web functionality significantly increases the impact of a compromised or low-privileged account.\n\nThe patch resolves the issue by completely removing the /admin/config route and associated configuration-editing interface, preventing application configuration from being modified through the web UI.","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":"RansomLook Missing Authorization in Web Configuration Editor Allows Application Configuration Modification","id":"CVE-2026-78387","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Security vulnerabilities have been found in IBM Verify Identity Access and IBM Security Verify Access","id":"CVE-2026-78388"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Unauthenticated Disclosure of Scraping Credentials and Bypass Configuration via RansomLook API","id":"CVE-2026-78386"},"products":["ransomlook"],"published":"2026-08-24","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":"2026-08-24","vendors":["ransomlook"]},"summary":"Authenticated low-privileged users can modify sensitive application configuration via the web editor, potentially altering security settings and integrations.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-78387/"}
