Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated session to KNIME Business Hub (the description states an 'authenticated remote attacker') and prior knowledge of a target workflow's ID ('if their ID is known') - the attacker must already possess or guess a valid internal workflow identifier. The disclosure occurs through the catalog functionality's error messages. The flaw affects all versions prior to 1.18.5, and the vendor states a workaround is not possible, so upgrading to 1.18.5 is the only remediation. Limiting factors: valid credentials are needed, impact is confined to learning workflow names (no integrity/availability effect), and the attacker must know or enumerate the workflow ID. Note the input CVSS vector's PR:N contradicts the description's authentication requirement.

Impact

This is a low-impact information disclosure issue (CWE-209) that should be treated as routine patching rather than an emergency. The input CVSS 4.0 vector (score 6.9, medium) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity attack with no privileges or user interaction (PR:N/UI:N) and only low confidentiality impact (VC:L), with no integrity or availability impact. However, this conflicts with the description, which explicitly states an 'authenticated remote attacker' - so the PR:N in the vector appears inaccurate and the real precondition is a valid authenticated session, which meaningfully narrows the exploit population. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or PoC was provided, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation; the vuln.today decision label is 'this_month', consistent with a non-urgent, schedule-driven fix. The practical harm is bounded: an attacker who already holds valid credentials and knows a workflow's internal ID can learn that workflow's name - a minor confidentiality leak useful mainly for reconnaissance, not a path to code execution or data theft. Net: a genuine but low-priority issue; the medium CVSS slightly overstates real-world risk given authentication is required and impact is limited to metadata disclosure.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated user of KNIME Business Hub (for example, a low-privilege tenant member) submits catalog requests referencing workflow IDs they are not authorized to view and reads the overly informative error responses to recover the corresponding workflow names. The trigger mechanism beyond 'overly informative error messages' is not described in the available sources. No public exploit code or PoC reference was provided.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 22, 2026

KNIME Business Hub releases prior to 1.18.5 leak workflow names to authenticated remote users through overly informative error messages returned by the platform's catalog functionality, but only when the attacker already knows the internal workflow identifier. Impact is confined to confidentiality - no integrity or availability effect - and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The vendor states a workaround is not possible, so upgrading to 1.18.5 is the only remediation; the issue is scored by the vendor at 6.9 under CVSS v4.0, while the independent assessment places it at CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N, consistent with routine, this-month patching rather than an emergency response.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: 1.18.5. Upgrade KNIME Business Hub to version 1.18.5 or later; this is the only complete remediation, as the vendor explicitly states that a workaround is not possible for this issue. Because no configuration-level mitigation is documented, there is no supported interim control (such as disabling the catalog functionality or restricting specific roles) that the vendor presents as equivalent - organizations that cannot upgrade immediately must accept the exposure, which is limited to disclosure of workflow names to users who already hold credentials and know the relevant workflow ID. Verify the fixed version against the vendor advisory at https://www.knime.com/security/advisories before closing out the finding, and note that the priority label for this CVE is this_month, supporting scheduled rather than emergency patching.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The root cause class is CWE-209 (Generation of Error Message Containing Sensitive Information). KNIME Business Hub's catalog functionality returns error responses that include the name of a workflow when a request is made against that workflow's identifier; rather than emitting a generic failure message, the service discloses the associated object name. Exploitation therefore requires two preconditions: a valid authenticated session on the Hub, and prior knowledge (or successful guessing/enumeration) of a workflow ID - the advisory phrase is 'if their ID is known'. The flaw is an information-disclosure handling defect in application error responses, not a memory-safety, injection or authentication-bypass issue, and it provides no path to modifying or deleting workflows. Note the scoring inconsistency in the source data: the vendor-published CVSS v4.0 vector is listed with PR:N and a 6.9 score, whereas the advisory text explicitly describes an authenticated remote attacker and the independent assessment models it as PR:L; the authenticated reading should be treated as the accurate one. The exact catalog endpoints and error paths involved are not described in the available sources.

DescriptionCVE.org

Overly informative error messages in the catalog functionality of KNIME Business Hub prior to version 1.18.5 may allow an authenticated remote attacker to see workflow names if their ID is known. A workaround is not possible.
