Unauthenticated user enumeration via default cryptographic key
Published Mar 23, 2026 · Updated Mar 23, 2026
Improper access control in KodCloud KodBox 1.64 allows remote attackers to read group and user details through shareSafeGroup. When the site API key is empty, shareSafeGroup passes it to Mcrypt, which substitutes a source-known default key and accepts attacker-generated sk tokens. The site-level external-sharing API must be enabled with an empty key; successful requests enumerate groups and users, including administrators.
