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 a valid, authenticated Komodo session with at least low-privileged user credentials, as confirmed by PR:L in the CVSS 4.0 vector - unauthenticated access is not possible. The attacker must have network reachability to the /execute or /execute/{variant} HTTP API endpoints. The vulnerability is not configuration-dependent and affects default deployments of Komodo through 2.3.2. Resource identifier enumeration requires the attacker to guess or iterate over resource names, which adds modest reconnaissance effort. Exploitation is bounded by the requirement for valid credentials: the attacker population is limited to users who have already been granted at least some level of authenticated access to the Komodo instance. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.3 with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N reflects a medium-severity, network-exploitable flaw requiring a valid authenticated session. The dual impact is worth separating: the confidentiality component (resource identifier leakage) enables authenticated users to map internal infrastructure topology beyond their authorization boundary, potentially informing follow-on attacks; the integrity component (audit log pollution) is arguably the more operationally significant issue, as falsified audit entries can mask or misattribute privileged operations and undermine post-incident forensics or compliance evidence. No EPSS data was provided, and neither KEV listing nor confirmed POC code is present, indicating this is not under active widespread exploitation. The requirement for valid credentials (PR:L) meaningfully limits the attacker population, making this a priority primarily for environments where Komodo audit logs serve compliance or investigative functions rather than a broad emergency. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated Komodo user with minimal privileges sends a series of crafted POST requests to the /execute endpoint, iterating over guessed or systematically enumerated resource names. Because identifier resolution occurs before the permission check, server responses reveal whether each name maps to a real internal resource, allowing the attacker to build a map of the infrastructure topology beyond their authorization boundary. The same attacker can then craft additional execute requests that cause the audit subsystem to record fraudulent entries - for example, logging that a privileged deployment or configuration change was executed - complicating future incident investigation or compliance review. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 28, 2026
Komodo through version 2.3.2 leaks internal resource identifiers and pollutes its audit log because the /execute and /execute/{variant} API handlers resolve resource names and write audit records before enforcing authorization checks. Authenticated low-privileged users can enumerate internal resource identifiers they lack permission to access and inject fraudulent audit entries that falsely attribute privileged operations, undermining forensic and compliance integrity. No public exploit code has been identified and this vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch with a confirmed fixed version is identified in the available reference data; operators should monitor the upstream repository at https://github.com/moghtech/komodo for a release that corrects the authorization ordering in the execute handler and update helper. As an immediate compensating control, restrict network access to Komodo's API endpoints using firewall rules, VPN enforcement, or private network placement - this limits the authenticated attacker population but does not eliminate risk for users who already have legitimate credentials. Additionally, route Komodo audit logs in real time to an immutable, external log aggregation system such as a SIEM or an append-only log store; this preserves the integrity of the authoritative audit trail even if fraudulent entries are injected locally, and enables detection of anomalous audit activity. Note that tightening access controls addresses the attacker surface but does not fix the underlying authorization ordering defect in the application.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Komodo (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:moghtech:komodo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is a self-hosted infrastructure management platform developed by moghtech. The root cause, CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), manifests as an incorrect operation ordering: resource identifier resolution and audit log writes occur before the authorization gate in the execute handler (bin/core/src/api/execute/mod.rs) and the update helper (bin/core/src/helpers/update.rs), as referenced in the CVE source links. Because the authorization check arrives too late in the request lifecycle, side-effect operations with security consequences - identifier exposure and audit record creation - complete regardless of whether the caller has the required permission. This ordering inversion is a classic TOCTOU-adjacent pattern where security-sensitive state changes precede the control that is supposed to govern them.

DescriptionCVE.org
Komodo through 2.3.2 discloses internal resource identifiers and writes audit entries before performing permission checks in the /execute and /execute/{variant} handlers. Authenticated users can guess resource names to obtain internal identifiers and insert fraudulent audit log entries misrepresenting privileged operations.
