Runtime disclosure and CPU exhaustion via exposed pprof
Published Aug 21, 2026 · Updated Aug 25, 2026
Missing authentication in Basekick Labs Arc before 26.06.1 allows remote attackers to read runtime data and exhaust CPU via pprof endpoints. The public Fiber app registers net/http/pprof handlers under /debug/pprof while the allowlisted path causes middleware to bypass its token check. Any network-reachable caller can retrieve heap and goroutine data or request long profiling runs that pin a CPU core and interrupt service.

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.
