Authentication Bypass
Authentication bypass attacks exploit flaws in the verification mechanisms that control access to systems and applications.
How It Works
Authentication bypass attacks exploit flaws in the verification mechanisms that control access to systems and applications. Instead of cracking passwords through brute force, attackers manipulate the authentication process itself to gain unauthorized entry. This typically occurs through one of several pathways: exploiting hardcoded credentials embedded in source code or configuration files, manipulating parameters in authentication requests to skip verification steps, or leveraging broken session management that fails to properly validate user identity.
The attack flow often begins with reconnaissance to identify authentication endpoints and their underlying logic. Attackers may probe for default administrative credentials that were never changed, test whether certain URL paths bypass login requirements entirely, or intercept and modify authentication tokens to escalate privileges. In multi-step authentication processes, flaws in state management can allow attackers to complete only partial verification steps while still gaining full access.
More sophisticated variants exploit single sign-on (SSO) or OAuth implementations where misconfigurations in trust relationships allow attackers to forge authentication assertions. Parameter tampering—such as changing a "role=user" field to "role=admin" in a request—can trick poorly designed systems into granting elevated access without proper verification.
Impact
- Complete account takeover — attackers gain full control of user accounts, including administrative accounts, without knowing legitimate credentials
- Unauthorized data access — ability to view, modify, or exfiltrate sensitive information including customer data, financial records, and intellectual property
- System-wide compromise — admin-level access enables installation of backdoors, modification of security controls, and complete infrastructure takeover
- Lateral movement — bypassed authentication provides a foothold for moving deeper into networks and accessing additional systems
- Compliance violations — unauthorized access triggers breach notification requirements and regulatory penalties
Real-World Examples
CrushFTP suffered a critical authentication bypass allowing attackers to access file-sharing functionality without any credentials. The vulnerability enabled direct server-side template injection, leading to remote code execution on affected systems. Attackers actively exploited this in the wild to establish persistent access to enterprise file servers.
Palo Alto's Expedition migration tool contained a flaw permitting attackers to reset administrative credentials without authentication. This allowed complete takeover of the migration environment, potentially exposing network configurations and security policies being transferred between systems.
SolarWinds Web Help Desk (CVE-2024-28987) shipped with hardcoded internal credentials that could not be changed through normal administrative functions. Attackers discovering these credentials gained full administrative access to helpdesk systems containing sensitive organizational information and user data.
Mitigation
- Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) — requires attackers to compromise additional verification factors beyond bypassed primary authentication
- Eliminate hardcoded credentials — use secure credential management systems and rotate all default credentials during deployment
- Enforce authentication on all endpoints — verify every request requires valid authentication; no "hidden" administrative paths should exist
- Implement proper session management — use cryptographically secure session tokens, validate on server-side, enforce timeout policies
- Apply principle of least privilege — limit damage by ensuring even authenticated users only access necessary resources
- Regular security testing — conduct penetration testing specifically targeting authentication logic and flows

There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but the low attack complexity and network vector make it a high patch priority.
Full takeover of Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform (versions 13.5 and 24.1) is possible via the Connector Framework component, allowing an attacker who already holds high privileges to fully compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability over the network via HTTPS. Oracle rates this CVSS 7.2 and, despite the 'Information Disclosure' tag, the described impact is complete product takeover (C:H/I:H/A:H). There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Information disclosure with scope change in Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform (versions 13.5 and 24.1, Application Service Level Management component) lets a low-privileged, network-authenticated attacker read all data accessible to the platform over HTTPS. Oracle rates it CVSS 3.1 7.7 with a scope change, so a successful attack can significantly impact products beyond Enterprise Manager itself. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis and it is not in CISA KEV, but low attack complexity plus total confidentiality loss make it a meaningful priority in Oracle-managed estates.
Full takeover of Oracle Retail Integration Bus 16.0.3 (RIB Kernel component) is achievable by an unauthenticated remote attacker over HTTP, per Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact reflects complete compromise of the RIB instance with no user interaction. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but the trivially low attack complexity makes it a high-priority patch target.
Full compromise of Oracle Retail Integration Bus 14.1.3.2 (RIB Kernel component) allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to take over the product over HTTP, per Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update. The flaw is rated CVSS 9.8 with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact and is described by Oracle as 'easily exploitable.' No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Unauthenticated network compromise of Oracle Utilities Network Management System (Mobile component) allows remote attackers to gain partial read access and partial write (insert/update/delete) access to NMS-accessible data over HTTP, with a scope change that can significantly impact adjacent products. Oracle tags this as an Authentication Bypass and rates it CVSS 7.2; no public exploit was identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV. Affected releases span the 2.5.x, 2.6.x, and 25.12.x branches, fixed in the Oracle Critical Patch Update of July 2026.
Full compromise of Oracle Human Resources (part of Oracle E-Business Suite) is possible via the Data Removal Tool component, where a high-privileged attacker with HTTP network access can take over the module across supported releases 12.2.3 through 12.2.15. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.2 with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, and Oracle classifies it as easily exploitable. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Data compromise in Oracle Retail EFTLink (versions 21.0.0 through 25.0.0) allows a remote unauthenticated attacker with HTTPS network access to read, create, delete, or modify all data accessible to the EFTLink service, despite a high attack-complexity barrier. Disclosed in Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.4 (C:H/I:H, no availability impact); no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Full compromise of Oracle Cost Management (the Cost Maintenance component of Oracle E-Business Suite) is achievable over HTTP by a low-privileged, authenticated attacker, per Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update. Successful exploitation yields complete takeover with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, though Oracle rates it difficult to exploit (AC:H). There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Remote takeover of Oracle Application Testing Suite 13.3.0.1 allows an unauthenticated attacker with TCP network access to fully compromise the product without any user interaction. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 with complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, and is addressed in Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but the network-reachable, no-privilege attack profile makes it a high-priority patch.
Full compromise (takeover) of the Oracle Public Sector Financials (International) module in Oracle E-Business Suite is possible via its Authorization component, affecting supported versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15. A high-privileged attacker with network access over HTTP can, under difficult-to-exploit conditions, breach the module and, because of a scope change, significantly impact additional connected products. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not on CISA KEV.
Complete compromise of Oracle Application Testing Suite version 13.3.0.1 is possible by remote, unauthenticated attackers over the Oracle Net protocol, per Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update. Oracle rates this 'easily exploitable' with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8, and a successful attack results in full takeover of the product with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but the unauthenticated network vector makes it a high-priority patching target.
Complete takeover of Oracle Application Testing Suite 13.3.0.1 is possible by unauthenticated attackers over the network via TCP, per Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, and Oracle characterizes it as 'easily exploitable.' No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV; no EPSS score was supplied.
Unauthenticated data disclosure in Oracle Application Testing Suite 13.3.0.1 lets a remote attacker with only TCP network access read critical application data, potentially gaining complete access to all data reachable by the product. The flaw is tagged as an authentication bypass and was disclosed in Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV. Impact is confined to confidentiality - integrity and availability are unaffected per the CVSS vector.
Cross-job-group log disclosure in XXL-Job 2.4.2 lets an authenticated low-privilege user read execution log content belonging to job groups they have no rights to, by calling the logDetailCat endpoint with incremented sequential logId values. The flaw is an insecure direct object reference (IDOR): logDetailCat omits the authorization check that its sibling logDetailPage endpoint enforces, so any logged-in account can enumerate and harvest sensitive log output across the entire scheduler. Reported by VulnCheck; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Unauthenticated denial of service in Gitea's Locale middleware allows any remote attacker to consume ~2 seconds of server CPU per HTTP request by crafting a ~1 MiB Accept-Language header composed of underscore separators, bypassing the existing CVE-2022-32149 guard in golang.org/x/text which only counts dash characters. All Gitea releases from 1.22.x through 1.26.x are affected because the middleware at modules/web/middleware/locale.go:38 passes the raw, unfiltered header directly to the quadratic-time ParseAcceptLanguage parser; ten concurrent attackers consuming ~10 MiB/s of upstream bandwidth can saturate all cores of a ten-core host indefinitely. Publicly available exploit code exists in the GHSA advisory; no active exploitation has been confirmed by CISA KEV at time of analysis.
Authentication bypass in Autel MaxiCharger Single EV charging stations running firmware up to and including V1.03.51 lets remote, unauthenticated attackers invoke privileged management endpoints by supplying a hard-coded token baked into the firmware. Because the token is static and shared across devices, anyone who extracts it once (publicly available exploit code exists via CyberDanube) can control the charger's management functions on any unpatched unit. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 10.0, and the flaw affords full compromise of the device with no user interaction.
Repository visibility and template status in Gitea (self-hosted Git service) before 1.27.0 can be silently toggled by any repository owner or admin-collaborator through undocumented git push options (repo.private, repo.template) processed by the post-receive hook, bypassing all audit logging, webhooks, and notifications. An insider can flip a private repository to public long enough to clone proprietary code, then revert it, leaving only two ordinary push events in the activity feed. No CISA KEV listing and no separately published exploit tool exist, but the GHSA advisory ships full working reproduction commands, and the CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.1 (High).
Improper authorization in Gitea before 1.27.0 lets an administrator-deactivated user (IsActive=false) silently reactivate their own account by signing in through an OAuth2/OIDC source that issues no refresh token - notably GitHub, or any OIDC source without offline_access. The reactivation gate added in PR #38009 uses an empty stored refresh token as its signal for 'disabled by auto-sync cron,' but for these sources every user has an empty refresh token, so an administrator's deliberate deactivation is indistinguishable from a cron disable and gets undone on the next login, granting a full session (including regained admin rights, since deactivation does not clear IsAdmin). No public exploit code is packaged, but a detailed, reproducible proof-of-concept is published in the vendor advisory; not listed in CISA KEV.
Authentication bypass via hard-coded backdoor accounts in Autel MaxiCharger Single EV charging stations (firmware through V1.03.51) lets remote attackers gain administrative control of the web management interface. Two undocumented privileged accounts use a vendor-defined password derivation tied to device-specific values, so anyone who knows the algorithm and inputs can authenticate as admin without legitimate credentials. Publicly available exploit code exists (CyberDanube); no public evidence of active exploitation at time of analysis.
Cross-tenant IDOR (broken authorization) in Shelf (shelf.nu) asset-tracking platform before version 1.20.2 allows an authenticated user in one organization to read, update, or connect records belonging to a different organization by supplying entity IDs that are never validated against the caller's workspace. Because Shelf is multi-tenant with per-organization data isolation, this breaks the core tenant boundary; a low-privilege user in Org A who learns or guesses an ID from Org B can act on Org B's data, and a loader-only restriction on personal-workspace bookings is bypassable via a crafted POST. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not on CISA KEV, but the flaw is straightforward to abuse once a foreign ID is known.
Missing authorization in FOG Project (fogproject) before 1.5.10.1832 and 1.6.0-beta.2313 lets a remote unauthenticated attacker invoke the clearAES and clearPMTasks methods of FOGPage through the public 'client' node endpoint using a single HTTP GET, wiping host AES imaging-encryption credentials and deleting all power-management scheduled tasks. No login, session, or CSRF token is required, so any attacker who can reach the FOG web server can degrade imaging integrity and disrupt scheduled operations. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the flaw is not in CISA KEV, but the trivial GET-based trigger makes weaponization straightforward.
Broken authorization in Gitea (self-hosted Git server) versions before 1.27.0 lets a token scoped as public-only,write:repository push commits into a private pull-request head branch it should never touch. Because Gitea only evaluates the public-only restriction against the public base repository named in the route (POST /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{index}/update) and never re-applies it to the private head repository, an attacker holding such a token can force a server-side write into the private repo and, where Actions is enabled, trigger its push workflow. This is CWE-863 incorrect authorization; a publicly available exploit code exists in the vendor advisory, EPSS is low at 0.24%, and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Broken access control in Gitea's issue-dependency removal endpoint allows any authenticated user with issue-write access on one repository to delete cross-repository dependency links and inject attacker-authored comments into private repositories they have no read or write access to. All Gitea releases through v1.26.4 are affected; the sibling AddDependency function in the same source file performs the correct cross-repository permission check that RemoveDependency entirely omits. A working proof-of-concept curl command is published in the GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-xv9x-fj9g-vj6h, though no confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV) has been identified and EPSS sits at 0.15% (4th percentile).
Broken authorization in MediaCMS 8.2.0 lets any authenticated user read private media metadata belonging to other users by injecting arbitrary media tokens into their own playlist. Because the playlist API skips ownership and state validation on PUT, an attacker who knows or guesses a target media token can then fetch their playlist and read otherwise-private fields (title, description, view/like counts, file size, author username, encoding status) via the unfiltered owner branch of the playlist detail view. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and the flaw is not in CISA KEV; a vendor patch is reported as available.
Privilege escalation in Gitea's self-hosted Git service (all versions ≤ 1.26.4) lets an attacker holding a narrowly-scoped Personal Access Token mint a new token with any scope, including full 'all' access, without the account password. The POST /users/{username}/tokens endpoint is guarded by reqBasicOrRevProxyAuth, which is meant to force password auth, but supplying the token as Authorization: Basic base64(<token>:x-oauth-basic) tricks the guard into setting IsBasicAuth=true, and the token-creation handler enforces no scope ceiling. A working proof-of-concept integration test is published in the advisory, though there is no public exploit identified in the wild and EPSS is low (0.16%).
Authorization bypass in Gitea before 1.27.0 lets a public-only Personal Access Token read internal content owned by Limited-visibility users and organizations, exceeding the reach the scope is meant to grant. The Repository and Package scope categories only test repo.IsPrivate / Owner.Visibility.IsPrivate(), which return false for VisibleTypeLimited, so an authenticated attacker with a public-only PAT can fetch READMEs, repo content, packages from all 24 registries, and even perform full git-upload-pack clones of instance-internal projects. A vendor-verified end-to-end Docker PoC exists (publicly available exploit code exists); it is not in CISA KEV and EPSS is low at 0.17% (6th percentile). This is the residual gap left after CVE-2026-25714 / PR #37118 fixed the sibling User/Org/ActivityPub cases.
Unauthorized information disclosure and case-attachment tampering in Elastic Kibana lets a low-privileged authenticated user with limited file-management permissions read, alter, or delete case attachments belonging to feature areas they should not reach, including sensitive Security Solution cases. The flaw stems from Kibana's file-access authorization check and its resource retrieval using two different resolution mechanisms, allowing the authorization gate to be bypassed. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; not listed in CISA KEV, and EPSS was not provided.
Branch protection bypass in Gitea versions prior to 1.27.0 allows a user with write (non-admin) access to merge unauthorized code into a protected branch by exploiting a stale approval flag. When a pull request is retargeted from an unprotected branch to a protected one via ChangeTargetBranch, Gitea fails to re-evaluate the stored official=true flag on existing approvals, so an approval that was never valid under the protected branch's whitelist still satisfies its required-approvals gate. Publicly available exploit code exists (a detailed step-by-step PoC in the GHSA advisory); no public exploit identified as actively used and it is not in CISA KEV.
Broken access control in HumHub 1.13.0 through 1.18.2 lets any authenticated user delete every member of any Space, regardless of whether they belong to or hold any role in that Space. The flaw is a missing authorization rule on the Space member-management controller's 'remove-all' action (CWE-862), fixed in 1.18.3. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but the trivial-to-trigger, authenticated-only nature makes it a realistic insider/low-privilege abuse risk.
Privilege escalation to root/code execution in SolarWinds Serv-U (managed/secure file transfer server) arises from a broken access control flaw that grants arbitrary file read and write on the host. An attacker already holding domain administrator access can abuse this to overwrite privileged files and run code as root, with reduced impact on Windows installations. Reported by SolarWinds with no public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the 9.1 CVSS reflects the high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact once the precondition is met.
Privilege escalation in SolarWinds Serv-U file transfer server arises from an insecure direct object reference (IDOR) that lets an actor already holding domain administrator access reference and manipulate objects across an authorization boundary. The flaw is fixed in the Serv-U 2026-3 release and has no public exploit identified at time of analysis; SolarWinds itself reported it. Impact is reduced in Windows deployments, which tempers real-world severity despite the 9.1 CVSS score.
Privilege escalation in SolarWinds Serv-U allows an authenticated domain administrator account to abuse an insecure direct object reference (IDOR) and elevate to a system administrator, ultimately executing commands as the root user on the underlying host. The flaw affects Serv-U file transfer server deployments, with a reduced impact on Windows installations, and carries a CVSS 9.1 rating driven by a scope change from application admin to OS-level root. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no CISA KEV listing, but SolarWinds self-reported and shipped a fix in the Serv-U 2026-3 release.
Account takeover in SolarWinds Serv-U managed file transfer server lets an authenticated user access and hijack other users' accounts through an insecure direct object reference (CWE-639), where user-controlled identifiers are not properly authorization-checked. Any valid low-effort authenticated session can be leveraged to reach objects belonging to other accounts, with the vendor noting reduced impact on Windows deployments (implying greater exposure on non-Windows/Linux installs). No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis; the issue was reported by SolarWinds and is fixed in the Serv-U 2026-3 release.
Account takeover in SolarWinds Serv-U is enabled by an insecure direct object reference (IDOR) that lets an authenticated user hijack the SMTP/email flow and seize arbitrary accounts, per SolarWinds' own advisory. Because the flaw crosses a trust boundary (CVSS scope-changed) with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, a single privileged account can be leveraged against other users' accounts; Windows deployments are described by the vendor as lower-impact. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV.
Privilege escalation in SolarWinds Serv-U lets an authenticated group member elevate their access to system administrator and execute code as root on Linux/Unix deployments, with reduced impact on Windows. The root cause is improper authorization (CWE-285) reachable over the network; the vendor rates it CVSS 9.1 due to a scope change and full CIA impact, but there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not in CISA KEV. Fixed in the Serv-U 2026-3 release.
Privilege escalation in SolarWinds Serv-U managed file transfer server allows an existing domain administrator to elevate their Serv-U account from a standard user type to a full system administrator, granting complete control over the file transfer service and its data. The flaw stems from missing authorization (CWE-862) and carries a CVSS 9.1 rating, driven by a scope change and high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. SolarWinds notes the impact is lower in Windows deployments, and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation in SolarWinds Serv-U managed file transfer allows a user holding domain administrator privileges to create Serv-U system administrator accounts, crossing an authorization boundary the product is expected to enforce independently. Tracked as CVE-2026-28309 (CWE-862, Missing Authorization) and reported by SolarWinds, it carries a 9.1 CVSS due to scope change and full C/I/A impact, though the vendor notes the impact is lower in Windows deployments. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Privilege-scoped remote code execution in SolarWinds Serv-U managed file transfer server stems from an insecure direct object reference that lets an authenticated domain administrator reference objects outside their intended authorization boundary to run code on the host. The flaw carries a 9.1 CVSS due to network reach, scope change, and full confidentiality/integrity/availability impact, though the practical bar is high because domain administrator access is a prerequisite, and impact is reduced on Windows deployments. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
