CVE-2026-82042

UTMStack UTMStack — UTMStack < 11.2.16 Authentication Bypass via InternalApiKeyFilter

Description · from the CVE record

UTMStack before 11.2.16 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows remote attackers to gain full administrative API access by presenting a valid Utm-Internal-Key header matching the INTERNAL_KEY environment variable value, which the InternalApiKeyFilter accepts for any endpoint without path restriction, constant-time comparison, rate limiting, or audit logging. Attackers who obtain the key value can authenticate without a user account or JWT to create accounts, manage users, exfiltrate data, and modify security rules.
