DescriptionCVE.org

Authentication Bypass in cf-auth-proxy in Cloud Foundry Foundation all installations allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to gain read access to every log and metric for every application and platform component via minting a JWT that the cf-auth-proxy accepts as a valid logs.admin token.

Affected versions:

  • log-cache_release: all versions through v3.2.6 (inclusive); fixed in v3.2.7 or later
  • CF Deployment: all versions through v55.?.0 (inclusive); fixed in v55.?.0 or later (bundles log-cache_release v3.2.7)

AnalysisAI

Authentication bypass in Cloud Foundry's cf-auth-proxy (log-cache_release through v3.2.6) lets a remote unauthenticated attacker mint a JWT that the proxy accepts as a valid logs.admin token, granting read access to every application and platform-component log and metric across the foundation. CVSS 7.5 with AV:N/AC:L/PR:N reflects trivially-reachable, network-based exploitation; no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but the CVSS vector includes E:P indicating proof-of-concept maturity per the issuing CNA (VMware).

Technical ContextAI

log-cache is the Cloud Foundry subsystem that aggregates application and platform logs and metrics for query via the Loggregator/log-cache API. cf-auth-proxy sits in front of log-cache and is responsible for validating UAA-issued JWTs and enforcing the logs.admin scope before forwarding requests. The CWE-287 (Improper Authentication) root cause means the proxy's token validation logic fails to correctly verify a property of the JWT - typically signature, issuer, audience, or scope claims - allowing an attacker-crafted token to pass as an authentic admin credential without the attacker possessing the UAA signing key or a legitimate admin grant. The affected CPEs are cpe:2.3:a:cloud_foundry_foundation:log-cache_release and cpe:2.3:a:cloud_foundry_foundation:cf_deployment, confirming this is a platform-level component bundled into the broader CF Deployment release.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: log-cache_release v3.2.7 (bundled in the corresponding fixed CF Deployment release). Upgrade log-cache_release to v3.2.7 or later, or roll out the fixed CF Deployment build that contains it, following the Cloud Foundry advisory at https://www.cloudfoundry.org/blog/cve-2026-40964-read-access-to-cf-logs/. Until the upgrade is applied, restrict network exposure of the cf-auth-proxy / log-cache gateway endpoint to operator and platform-internal CIDRs via security groups or an upstream reverse proxy ACL - this is the highest-leverage compensating control because the vulnerability requires reaching the proxy. Rotate any UAA signing keys and JWT secrets if there is any suspicion the issuing key material was probed, and audit log-cache access logs for anomalous unauthenticated or unexpected admin-scoped reads; note that key rotation forces re-issuance of legitimate operator tokens and brief operator workflow disruption. Avoid disabling cf-auth-proxy outright, as that removes authentication entirely.
