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-2026-90481 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: PortSwigger Burp Suite DAST. 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-2026-90481/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-90481/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-90481","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-90481/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-90481","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hmv3-x9c8-w9rm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"DAST security scanner","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass authentication in Burp Suite DAST via an alternate path, potentially gaining unauthorized access to the scanning platform.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","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:H/SC:L/SI:L/SA:L","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-288","name":"Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel"}],"description":"In PortSwigger Burp Suite DAST (formerly Burp Suite Enterprise Edition) before 2026.8, an authentication bypass can occur via an alternate path or channel.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Auth bypass in Burp Suite DAST","id":"CVE-2026-90481","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Apache bRPC: Null pointer dereference in MySQL reply parser leading to client crash","id":"CVE-2026-90484"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"MCPHub before 1.0.32 OAuth 2.0 Authentication Bypass","id":"CVE-2026-90474"},"products":["Burp Suite DAST"],"published":"2026-09-24","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":"2026-09-24","vendors":["PortSwigger"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass authentication in Burp Suite DAST via an alternate path, potentially gaining unauthorized access to the scanning platform.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-90481/"}
