NVD description

NebulaGraph exposes its runtime configuration over an unauthenticated HTTP service. Each daemon starts the web service defined in src/webservice/WebService.cpp, whose bind address defaults to all interfaces, and registers routes for reading and writing gflags alongside status and statistics. Neither the service nor its router carries any authentication, token check or address restriction. The read route returns the daemon's full set of runtime flag values, which includes the configured certificate, key and certificate-authority paths, the password file path, data directories and the transport-security enable flags. The write route parses a supplied map and applies each entry through the gflags runtime setter, so a caller able to reach the port can change the daemon's behaviour without restarting it, including disabling the transport-security flags, redirecting log files and altering flags such as failed_login_attempts and password_lock_time_in_secs. Public reports of this endpoint describe a single name, enable_authorize, being refused by the handler; at release 3.8.0 that refusal is not present and the handler applies every name it is given.

    🚨Critical - NebulaGraph unauthenticated runtime configuration exposure and modification (CVE-2026-81032) graphd, metad, and storaged each start the HTTP service in src/webservice/WebService.cpp bound to all interfaces by default (ws_ip=0.0.0.0), with /flags routes to read and write runtime gflags and no auth, token, or source restriction. Any reachable attacker dumps cert/key/CA and password-file paths, data dirs, and TLS flags, then live-modifies daemon behavior — disabling transport security, redirecting logs, and altering enable_authorize, failed_login_attempts, and password_lock_time_in_secs without a restart. 👉Affected: NebulaGraph community through 3.8.0 | No fix yet

    Post summary

    The post discloses an unauthenticated runtime configuration exposure in NebulaGraph 3.8.0 that lets attackers dump sensitive data and modify daemon flags, with no patch yet released or exploit code provided.
