Himmelblau Authentication and File Handling Flaws
2026-03-11
Default password in Himmelblau Azure Entra ID suite 3.0.0-3.0.x. CVSS 10.0.
Local privilege escalation in Himmelblau prior to versions 3.1.0 and 2.3.8 allows authenticated local users to exploit insecure Kerberos cache file handling in the root-running himmelblaud-tasks daemon through symlink attacks. The vulnerability stems from the removal of PrivateTmp protections, exposing /tmp operations to symlink-based file overwrite and ownership manipulation attacks. An attacker with local access can leverage this flaw to achieve arbitrary file modification and full system compromise.
