CVE-2026-90451

8.2 HIGH 0.3% exploit odds No fix listed Other

What it is

An example environment-configuration file ships with a fixed, publicly-known secret value used to sign authentication cookies for a bundled packet-analysis component. A deployment that copies this example file into active configuration without running the setup routine that regenerates the value will use the known default, allowing an attacker aware of the default to forge valid authentication cookies for that component.

At a glance

Exploitability: Can be exploited over the network without logging in. High risk of data tampering.
Exploit odds: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days (EPSS).
Fix: No patch or advisory is linked yet. Look at mitigations or restrict exposure.
