CVE-2026-110616
NullHub through 2026.5.29 contains a missing authentication vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to access the /api/* management API because the auth_token field defaults to null and is never assigned.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.95%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
NullHub through 2026.5.29 contains a missing authentication vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to access the /api/* management API because the auth_token field defaults to null and is never assigned. Attackers sending requests without Authorization or Origin headers to non-loopback listeners can control agent instances, rewrite configurations including provider credentials, and manage cron jobs and MCP servers.
