CVE-2026-32725 Mar 31, 17:01 HIGH PATCH This Week

Authorization bypass in scitokens-cpp library (all versions prior to 1.4.1) allows authenticated attackers to escape path-based scope restrictions via parent-directory traversal in token scope claims. The library incorrectly normalizes '..' components instead of rejecting them, enabling privilege escalation to access resources outside intended directories. EPSS data not provided, but the vulnerability is network-exploitable with low attack complexity (CVSS 8.3). No confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV) or public exploit code identified at time of analysis, though the fix commit is publicly documented.

CVE-2026-32726 Mar 31, 17:01 HIGH PATCH This Week

Authorization bypass in SciTokens C++ library (versions prior to 1.4.1) allows authenticated attackers to access unauthorized filesystem paths via flawed scope validation. The library's path-prefix matching does not enforce path-segment boundaries, enabling a token scoped to '/data/project1' to incorrectly authorize access to '/data/project10' or '/data/project1-backup'. CVSS 8.1 (High) reflects the significant confidentiality and integrity impact, though exploitation requires low-privilege authenticated access (PR:L). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, with EPSS data not available for recent CVE. Vendor-released patch available in version 1.4.1.
