API key disclosure via extractable IndexedDB private key
Published Apr 2, 2026 · Updated Apr 2, 2026
Credential exposure in CERT/CC cveClient before 1.1.15 allows attackers to extract the private key protecting stored API keys. save_key() stores the RSA private key in IndexedDB as an extractable JWK, allowing browser-context script or the JavaScript console to export it. Access to the browser context is required; the exported private key can decrypt locally stored API credentials.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
