CVE-2026-22207
OpenViking through version 0.1.18, prior to commit 0251c70, contains a broken access control vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to gain ROOT privileges when the root_api_key configuration is omitted.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.43%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
