CVE-2026-125329usekaneo kaneo insufficiently protected credentials
CVE-2026-125329 is a insufficiently protected credentials in usekaneo kaneo, rated high (8.4 on CVSS 4.0).
Why this priority: High severity, with no exploitation signal yet.
Published · Updated · NVD status: Deferred
What it is
Credentials are stored or sent in a way others can recover. The software reveals data to someone who should not see it.
How it is reached
An attacker can exploit it over the network, with an ordinary user account, and nobody has to click anything.
What an attacker gains
A successful attack can read the data it protects. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker sign in with credentials the vendor shipped or stored unprotected. The damage can spread past the vulnerable component into others.
Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet.
What to do
- Upgrade usekaneo kaneo to 2.13.0 or later.
- Until it is patched, review who holds accounts that can reach it.
Description from NVD
Kaneo is a project management application with boards, Gantt charts, and GitHub integration that can be self-hosted or used as a cloud service. Prior to 2.13.0, GET /api/external-link/task/:taskId returns integration.config to any workspace member, including the viewer role, when a task has a linked Gitea issue or pull request. The plaintext integration.config contains the Gitea accessToken and webhookSecret, allowing the token's granted Gitea actions and forged webhook deliveries that pass HMAC verification. GitHub integrations and installations without a configured Gitea integration are not affected. This issue is fixed in version 2.13.0.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- Credentials kept in code, configuration, images or firmware. The flaw sits between a stored secret and anyone who can read where it is kept.
- Error responses, logs and debug endpoints. The flaw sits between internal data and whoever can read the response or log.
- APIs that over-share. The flaw sits between internal data and whoever can read the response or log.
Trust boundaries in play
- Authenticated network access. An account is needed, so exposure follows who can sign in: customers, partners or staff.
- Isolation between components. The impact crosses out of the vulnerable component into others it should be isolated from.
- Between a stored secret and anyone who can read where it is kept. An attacker who crosses it can sign in with credentials the vendor shipped or stored unprotected.
- Between internal data and whoever can read the response or log. An attacker who crosses it can learn data or internals that help a follow-up attack.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does usekaneo kaneo run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which of those instances can be reached from the internet or partner networks?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
