CVE-2026-88061Network attack vector

Unauthenticated command execution via unguarded dashboard API

Published Sep 10, 2026 · Updated Sep 10, 2026

Improper access control in the Santifer career-ops web dashboard before 0.8.0 allows remote attackers to execute commands through API requests. The web/ API routes that spawn processes and write user files accept requests without checking request origin or requiring a loopback client address. Exploitation requires a source-checkout dashboard to be running plus either a malicious page in another browser tab or direct local-network access; npm installations lack the dashboard.
