MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires only network reachability to the PowerJob web/console application (the /user/list endpoint); per the provided CVSS 4.0 vector (PR:N/UI:N/AC:L/AT:N) no credentials, user interaction, or special attack prerequisites are needed, and the flaw is the absence of an authorization check on that function. The main limiting factors are network exposure (instances restricted to internal networks or behind an authenticating reverse proxy are far less exposed) and the affected version range (PowerJob up to and including 5.1.2); impact is bounded to disclosure of the user list with no write or availability effect. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but moderate-priority issue, not a top-tier emergency. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) describes a remotely reachable, low-complexity flaw requiring no authentication or user interaction, which supports easy exploitation, but the impact is narrow: only VC:L (low confidentiality) with no integrity or availability impact, consistent with CWE-862 missing authorization exposing the /user/list function. The CVSS 4.0 base is 5.5 (medium). EPSS is 1.09% (65th percentile) - modest, indicating no evidence of broad automated exploitation despite the low attack complexity. A public exploit exists (E:P in the vector and the description stating the exploit was made public), raising the practical likelihood of opportunistic use, but this is NOT the same as active exploitation: the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV. Signals are broadly consistent - easy to reach but low-value information disclosure - so the realistic risk is unauthorized enumeration of user data rather than system compromise. Priority should be driven by how exposed the PowerJob console is (internet-facing deployments warrant prompter patching). |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with network access to a PowerJob instance sends a request to the /user/list endpoint without authenticating and receives the application's user list because the endpoint fails to enforce authorization. A public exploit is available, so the request can be reproduced trivially to harvest account/user information for reconnaissance or follow-on attacks. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 19, 2026
Missing authorization in PowerJob through 5.1.2 exposes the /user/list endpoint, allowing remote unauthenticated attackers to retrieve the application's user list and disclose account-related information. The impact is limited to confidentiality, with no write or availability effect, and publicly available exploit code exists. EPSS is 1.09% (65th percentile), indicating low absolute likelihood; the issue is not reported as actively exploited in CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
The available data does not identify an exact vendor-fixed PowerJob release, so the primary action is to upgrade to a version later than 5.1.2 once the maintainers confirm the fix, tracking https://github.com/PowerJob/PowerJob/issues/1127 and the project repository for the patched version. If an upgrade cannot be applied immediately, place the PowerJob console behind an authenticating reverse proxy and explicitly deny unauthenticated access to /user/list, and restrict console reachability to trusted administrative networks or VPNs; these controls reduce exposure but may break legitimate administrative workflows if applied too broadly. Review logs for unauthenticated requests to /user/list and treat any exposed user-list data as a potential precursor to targeted credential or phishing attacks.

Technical ContextAI · show details
PowerJob is a Java-based distributed job scheduling and computing platform that exposes a web console for administration. The affected /user/list function returns user records but lacks an authorization check (CWE-862), so the endpoint can be reached without the expected role or session validation. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:powerjob:powerjob:* combined with the CVE description bounds affected deployments to PowerJob up to and including 5.1.2, and the CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) confirms that network reachability to the web console is the primary precondition. The resulting impact is disclosure of the user list only, with no integrity or availability impact.
