CRITICAL 9.3

DescriptionCVE.org

Covenant through 0.6 registers the CovenantHub SignalR hub without an Authorize attribute, allowing unauthenticated callers to invoke CreateHttpListener and receive a signed JWT token. Attackers can use the obtained token to authenticate against the entire operator API and access grunts, credentials, binaries, events, and the operator roster.

AnalysisAI

Covenant through 0.6 registers its CovenantHub SignalR hub without an Authorize attribute, so any unauthenticated caller who can reach the hub endpoint can invoke CreateHttpListener and receive a valid signed JWT; that token then authenticates the attacker to the entire Covenant operator API, exposing grunts, credentials, binaries, events, and the operator roster. The vulnerability is scored CVSS 4.0 9.3 and independently assessed as CVSS 3.1 9.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N), fully compromising confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation No special conditions beyond network reachability - the CovenantHub SignalR hub in Covenant through 0.6 is registered without an Authorize attribute, so any unauthenticated caller who can reach the hub endpoint can invoke CreateHttpListener and mint a valid JWT against a default installation. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuine high-priority authentication flaw, not a CVSS-inflated paper risk. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; GitHub issue 406 and the VulnCheck advisory document the flaw but do not cite a fixed Covenant release. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, restrict network access to the Covenant operator server and CovenantHub endpoint to trusted administrative IP ranges via firewall, security group, or reverse-proxy allowlisting; if Covenant through 0.6 is not essential, take the server offline or disable the SignalR hub; enable logging and alerting for CreateHttpListener invocations, unexpected JWT issuance, and new operator creation. …
