Overview

CVE-2026-45246 is a medium-severity vulnerability. It was published on May 18, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

Summarize prior to 0.15.1 contains an insecure file permission vulnerability in the refresh-free configuration rewrite path that allows local users to read sensitive credentials by exploiting default filesystem permissions. When the refresh-free path rewrites the configuration file, it creates the replacement with default process umask permissions instead of preserving the original file permissions, exposing the config file containing API keys and provider credentials to other local users on shared Unix-like systems.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
