A Spring Security authentication and authorization bypass exists in Coverity Connect versions between 2023.6.0 and 2026.3.0. An unauthenticated malicious threat actor that can send a specially crafted HTTP request is able to bypass authentication and authorization controls on certain API endpoints to access data within Coverity.

AnalysisAI
Authentication and authorization bypass in Synopsys/Black Duck Coverity Connect (versions 2023.6.0 through 2026.3.0) allows an unauthenticated attacker to reach certain protected API endpoints by sending a specially crafted HTTP request, exposing data held within Coverity. The flaw stems from a Spring Security misconfiguration classified as CWE-288 (authentication bypass using an alternate path or channel). …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires network access to a Coverity Connect instance (versions 2023.6.0 through 2026.3.0) and the ability to send a specially crafted HTTP request that targets 'certain API endpoints' - only a subset of endpoints is bypassable, not the entire application. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The signals are mixed but lean toward genuine priority. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who can reach the Coverity Connect web server crafts an HTTP request whose path is constructed to satisfy a specific precondition and bypass the Spring Security filter chain, causing a protected API endpoint to respond without authenticating the caller. The attacker then enumerates and reads sensitive data within Coverity - such as source-code defect findings, project configurations, and analysis results - and, given the high integrity impact, may alter accessible data. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade Coverity Connect to a fixed release beyond the affected 2023.6.0-2026.3.0 range; consult the Black Duck Product Security Advisory (https://community.blackduck.com/s/article/Black-Duck-Product-Security-Advisory-CVE-2026-8338-Authentication-and-Authorization-Bypass) for the exact patched version, as no specific fix version was included in the provided data and it should not be invented. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Identify all Coverity Connect deployments and document version numbers; disable external network access to affected instances where operationally feasible; enable comprehensive API request logging. …
