Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires that a DataApp in KNIME Business Hub has been configured with a 'link without login' and that this link is shared among multiple users who create jobs through it; the attacker must have access to that specific link. The flaw then lets any such link user list and potentially access jobs created by other users of the same link, because the authorization check between those users is missing. Limiting factors: the vulnerable state does not exist unless an operator deliberately creates and distributes a login-less link, exposure is scoped to jobs created through that same link rather than the entire Hub, and the vendor's documented workaround (removing all 'links without login' to DataApps) fully eliminates the condition; upgrading to 1.19.0 is the complete fix.

Impact

This is a medium-severity authorization flaw (vendor CVSS 4.0 base 6.3) whose real-world priority is moderate, not urgent. The vendor-supplied CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N) indicates a network-reachable issue with no authentication (PR:N) and no user interaction, but low confidentiality and integrity impact and high attack complexity (AC:H), reflecting that exploitation depends on a specific precondition - the existence and sharing of a DataApp 'link without login.' There is no CISA KEV listing and no EPSS score in the supplied data, and the single reference is the KNIME vendor advisory, not a proof-of-concept, so exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month,' which aligns with a patch-on-normal-cycle priority rather than an emergency. The signals are internally consistent: PR:N is technically accurate because the link bypasses login, but the practical gate is that an administrator must have deliberately created and distributed such a link, which bounds exposure. No EPSS or KEV data is available to independently corroborate exploitation likelihood - treat the low-impact, condition-dependent profile as the governing factor.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An organization publishes a KNIME DataApp via a 'link without login' and shares it with several users. A user (or anyone who obtains the link) who submits jobs through it discovers they can enumerate and potentially open jobs that other users created via the same link, exposing those users' job data. No public exploit code is identified; the issue is a missing authorization check that requires only normal interaction with the shared link.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 22, 2026

KNIME Business Hub releases prior to 1.19.0 lack an authorization check between users who reach a DataApp through the same 'link without login', letting any holder of that link list - and in some cases access - jobs created by other users through it. The exposure is limited to that per-link job scope rather than the whole Hub, and only exists where an operator has deliberately created and distributed a login-less link; the vendor's documented workaround of removing all such links eliminates the condition entirely. No public exploit code or active exploitation is identified in the available data, and the reported CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.3 (assessed CVSS 3.1: AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N), giving this a moderate, this-month remediation priority rather than an urgent one.

RemediationAI

Upgrade KNIME Business Hub to 1.19.0, which the vendor identifies as the complete fix, following the guidance at https://www.knime.com/security/advisories. Where an upgrade cannot be scheduled immediately, the vendor's stated workaround is to remove all 'links without login' to DataApps; doing so eliminates the vulnerable condition, at the cost of users who relied on anonymous access needing authenticated accounts to reach those DataApps. Because the attacker must hold a valid login-less link, rotating or revoking any such links is the direct containment step, though the vendor's documented position is that upgrading is the only complete fix.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The defect is a missing authorization check (CWE-862) in KNIME Business Hub's DataApp sharing feature. When a DataApp is published via a 'link without login', the Hub issues an unauthenticated access path, and multiple different people can then create and run jobs through that same link. The server does not enforce a per-user ownership boundary between those jobs, so the authorization decision that should separate one link user's jobs from another's is absent. The preconditions described by the vendor are narrow: a DataApp must have been configured with a login-less link, that link must be shared among multiple users who actually create jobs through it, and the attacker must possess that specific link. The available sources do not describe the precise request-level trigger beyond this precondition chain. Severity is scored with limited confidentiality and integrity impact (VC:L/VI:L) and no availability impact (VA:N), consistent with job listing and possible cross-user job access rather than a Hub-wide compromise. CPE data (cpe:2.3:a:knime:knime_business_hub:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) confirms the wildcard version range covers all releases before the 1.19.0 fix.

DescriptionCVE.org

A missing authorization check allows anyone having access to a "link without login" for a DataApp to list and potentially access jobs of other users created by the same link in KNIME Business Hub prior to 1.19.0. As workaround remove all "links without login" to DataApps.
