Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires network reachability to the vulnerable SSO/login component of Digital-Infrastructure v9.6.7; per CVSS AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N there is no authentication, no password, and no user interaction needed. The primary limiting factor is exposure: the SSO endpoint must be reachable by the attacker (instances confined to internal networks or behind a VPN/allowlist are not directly exploitable), and the target must be running the affected 9.6.7 SSO component. No special non-default configuration is indicated by the description.

Impact

This is a genuine top-priority issue. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/C:H/I:H/A:H = 9.8) indicates remote, network-reachable exploitation with no authentication, no user interaction, and low complexity, yielding full confidentiality/integrity/availability compromise; the SSVC framework independently corroborates this with Exploitation=poc, Automatable=yes, and Technical Impact=total. A password-less admin login is directly and reliably weaponizable, and publicly available exploit code exists, so any internet-exposed instance should be treated as urgent by even a small IT team. The main uncertainty is deployment footprint rather than exploitability: EPSS is not provided in the input, and there is no CISA KEV listing, so active in-the-wild exploitation is not confirmed - the risk is currently PoC-driven, not evidence of mass exploitation. CPE and tag metadata are placeholders ('n/a', 'N A'), so automated asset matching will not flag affected systems and defenders must identify Digital-Infrastructure deployments manually.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker reaches the internet-exposed SSO login endpoint of a Digital-Infrastructure 9.6.7 instance and submits a login request asserting the Admin identity without supplying a valid password. Because the SSO component does not verify the credential, the attacker receives a valid authenticated Admin session and gains full control of the platform. A public PoC/writeup lowers the skill barrier and, given SSVC 'automatable: yes', the attack can be scripted against many hosts.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 08, 2026

Authentication bypass in the Single-Sign-On (SSO) component of Digital-Infrastructure v9.6.7 lets a remote attacker log in as any account, including Admin, with no password. The flaw stems from improper authentication (CWE-287) in the SSO login path, giving unauthenticated attackers full administrative takeover. Publicly available exploit code/writeup exists, though it is not listed in CISA KEV; SSVC rates exploitation as PoC, automatable, with total technical impact.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch version is identified in the available data, so no fixed release can be cited at this time. Until the vendor publishes a fixed build, restrict network exposure of the SSO component: place the application behind a VPN or IP allowlist so the login endpoint is not internet-reachable, and put it behind an authenticating reverse proxy or WAF that enforces its own identity check in front of the vulnerable SSO flow (trade-off: adds an authentication layer and may complicate legitimate SSO redirects). Monitor authentication logs for logins to privileged accounts (especially Admin) that lack a corresponding credential challenge, and rotate/invalidate existing sessions. Consult the researcher writeup (https://github.com/fangtang7/CVE/blob/main/Digital-Infrastructure/sso.md) and monitor the vendor and NVD (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-79576) for an official fix.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected component is the SSO module of Digital-Infrastructure, a self-hosted platform (version 9.6.7). The root cause is CWE-287 (Improper Authentication): the SSO flow fails to actually verify a supplied credential/proof before establishing an authenticated session, so an attacker can assert an arbitrary identity - up to and including the Admin user - and be granted a valid session without any password. This is characteristic of SSO/token-handling flaws where identity assertion is trusted without cryptographic or credential verification. The CPE (cpe:2.3:a:n/a:n/a) is a placeholder and does not correctly identify the vendor/product; the real product is Digital-Infrastructure per the description and the referenced sso.md writeup.

DescriptionCVE.org

An issue in the Single-Sign On (SSO) component of Digital-Infrastructure v9.6.7 allows attackers to authenticate as any user, including the Admin, without a password.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Digital-Infrastructure v9.6.7 deployments face immediate risk of complete administrative compromise through an unauthenticated SSO authentication bypass that allows attackers to masquerade as any account-including administrators-without a password. With exploit code publicly available and no vendor patch currently available, this creates an urgent threat to all user accounts, data confidentiality, and system integrity. Organizations running this version require immediate containment measures while awaiting vendor remediation.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

Implement network segmentation to restrict Digital-Infrastructure v9.6.7 SSO component access to trusted networks only; deploy Web Application Firewall rules tuned to detect exploitation patterns targeting the SSO authentication endpoint; enable comprehensive audit logging and real-time alerting on all authentication events and failures; restrict direct internet access to affected systems using IP-based filtering; establish continuous security monitoring for indicators of compromise such as unauthorized account creation or privilege escalation; prepare incident response procedures for account takeover scenarios.
