1 technique across 1 tactic: Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | The attacker must be able to reach the Altium 365 cloud SearchService over the network and must reference (know or guess) the target workspace's identifier - that workspace ID is the concrete prerequisite. Exploitation targets the legacy SOAP SearchService endpoint specifically; the modern authenticated interfaces are not the vector. No authentication, session token, or user interaction is required (CVSS PR:N/UI:N), and no non-default configuration toggle is needed - the exposed legacy endpoint is the default-affected surface for cloud tenants. Limiting factors: only Altium 365 cloud is affected (on-premise Altium Enterprise Server is immune), impact is confined to the search index and cannot alter or read the underlying vault data, and the attacker needs a valid workspace identifier to target a specific tenant rather than blindly compromising all data. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N with high vulnerable- and subsequent-system impacts) yields the maximum 10.0, and SSVC reinforces this with Automatable:yes and Technical Impact:total, so from a metric standpoint this is a top-priority network-reachable, unauthenticated bug. Counterbalancing this, the EPSS score is very low (0.07%, 20th percentile), SSVC Exploitation is 'none', it is not on CISA KEV, and no POC is referenced - signals that observed, in-the-wild exploitation is currently absent. The scores are also somewhat inflated relative to the described impact: the vendor rates confidentiality/integrity/availability all High, yet the description explicitly scopes the effect to the search index only, not the underlying vault data, so real integrity/availability damage is bounded to search functionality rather than design source. The genuine priority driver is the trivial exploitability (no auth, low complexity, automatable) and cross-tenant data disclosure in a shared SaaS environment; the tempering factor is that damage does not reach vault contents and no active exploitation is evident. Because it is a single-tenant-to-multi-tenant cloud service, remediation is largely vendor-controlled, which lowers customer-side urgency compared with an on-prem patch scramble. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has obtained or guessed a victim organization's Altium 365 workspace identifier sends crafted, unauthenticated SOAP requests to the legacy SearchService endpoint over the internet. With no login required, they enumerate the workspace's indexed component libraries, project and folder names, and user metadata, then poison or delete index entries to corrupt search results for that tenant. No POC is publicly referenced, but the attack requires only network access and knowledge of the workspace ID, and SSVC rates it automatable. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 23, 2026
Missing authentication in the Altium 365 SearchService lets an unauthenticated network attacker who knows a target workspace identifier interact with that workspace's search index across tenant boundaries via a legacy SOAP endpoint. Affecting Altium 365 cloud deployments (on-premise Altium Enterprise Server is not affected), it enables reading indexed component, project, folder, and user metadata and injecting, modifying, or deleting search index entries - an authentication bypass with no public exploit identified at time of analysis, though CISA's SSVC framework marks the flaw automatable with total technical impact.
RemediationAI
Because Altium 365 is a vendor-hosted multi-tenant cloud service, the fix is applied server-side by Altium rather than by customers installing a package; no customer-installable fix version is published, so monitor and confirm remediation via Altium's security advisories page (https://www.altium.com/platform/security-compliance/security-advisories) and contact Altium support to verify your tenant is patched. No vendor-released patch version was identified in the available data for independent citation. As compensating controls where network reachability can be constrained, restrict or IP-allowlist access to the Altium 365 endpoints if your organization fronts them through a proxy or SSO gateway, and ask Altium to confirm the legacy SOAP SearchService endpoint has been disabled or authentication-gated - noting that disabling a legacy interface can break older Altium Designer clients that still call it. Given the search-index-only scope, also review whether any sensitive project, folder, or user metadata indexed in workspaces should be renamed or de-identified to reduce disclosure value, and rotate any credentials or identifiers that appeared in searchable metadata. On-premise Altium Enterprise Server users require no action.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Altium 365 is Altium's multi-tenant cloud platform for electronics/PCB design collaboration, component management, and data vaulting. The root cause is CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for a Critical Function): a legacy SOAP web-service endpoint fronting the SearchService exposes search-index operations without requiring authentication, session tokens, or identity verification. Because the endpoint accepts a workspace identifier as an untrusted parameter and performs no tenant-scoping authorization check, one caller can operate on another tenant's search index - a horizontal, cross-tenant authorization failure layered on top of the missing authentication. The affected product per NVD CPE is cpe:2.3:a:altium:altium_365 (all versions of the cloud service); the SearchService maintains a searchable index of vault artifacts (components, project/folder names, user metadata) that is distinct from the authoritative vault data store.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
A missing authentication vulnerability exists in the Altium 365 SearchService. A legacy SOAP endpoint exposes search index operations without requiring authentication, session tokens, or any form of identity verification. An unauthenticated network attacker who can reference a target workspace's identifier can interact with that workspace's search index, crossing tenant boundaries.
Successful exploitation allows reading a workspace's indexed contents (such as component data, project and folder names, and user metadata) and injecting, modifying, or deleting search index entries. These operations affect the search index only, not the underlying vault data, but they can disclose sensitive workspace information and compromise the integrity and availability of search results. Altium 365 cloud deployments are affected; on-premise Altium Enterprise Server is not affected.
Executive ViewAI
Altium 365 cloud customers face an immediate critical risk from an authentication bypass that allows unauthenticated attackers to access, modify, and delete engineering design data and intellectual property across organizational boundaries. This directly threatens competitive advantage and puts your R&D teams' most sensitive work at risk of theft or sabotage without requiring any login credentials.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include: implementing network-level segmentation to restrict SearchService endpoint access; enabling comprehensive audit logging for all search index operations; restricting workspace identifier distribution within your organization; segregating critical design projects into separate, access-controlled workspaces; and consulting directly with Altium regarding additional technical workarounds or architectural hardening options.
