CVE-2026-45177Network attack vector

Unauthenticated token acquisition via manipulated identity validation

Published Jun 11, 2026 · Updated Jun 11, 2026

Improper access control in Idira Secrets Manager SaaS Edge before 1.8 allows remote attackers to obtain an access token. An internal authentication component accepts a specially crafted request that manipulates its validation logic and bypasses identity verification. No credentials or user interaction are required, but exploitation depends on unspecified circumstances; the token permits unauthorized authenticated access.
