CVE-2026-126936diced zipline time-of-check to time-of-use race
CVE-2026-126936 is a time-of-check to time-of-use race in diced zipline, rated medium (6.0 on CVSS 4.0).
Why this priority: Medium severity, with no exploitation signal.
Published · Updated · NVD status: Received
What it is
Something is checked, then changed by an attacker before it is used.
How it is reached
An attacker can exploit it over the network, with an ordinary user account, and nobody has to click anything. Success also depends on conditions the attacker does not fully control.
What an attacker gains
A successful attack can take it offline. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker win a timing window to bypass a check or corrupt shared state.
Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet. EPSS estimates a 0.27% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 20% of scored CVEs.
What to do
- Upgrade diced zipline to 4.7.0 or later.
- Until it is patched, review who holds accounts that can reach it.
Description from NVD
Zipline before 4.7.0 contains a race condition vulnerability that allows users to bypass invitation usage limits, upload storage quotas, and shortened-URL quotas through concurrent requests. Attackers can send overlapping registration, upload, or URL creation requests that pass checks against stale state, creating extra accounts and exceeding administrator-configured resource quotas.
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
- Request handlers and jobs that share state. The flaw sits between concurrent requests or processes.
Trust boundaries in play
- Authenticated network access. An account is needed, so exposure follows who can sign in: customers, partners or staff.
- Between concurrent requests or processes. An attacker who crosses it can win a timing window to bypass a check or corrupt shared state.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does diced zipline 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?
