    Exploit

    ファイル転送製品Cleo Harmonyに、JWTリフレッシュトークン処理を悪用して認証を回避し、遠隔から権限昇格できる脆弱性「CVE-2026-84115」が見つかった。公開済みエクスプロイトもあり、修正版5.8.1.11が提供されている。 問題は/api/connectionsに関連する処理にあり、HTTPヘッダー内のBearer引数を細工することでアクセス制御を回避できるとされる。VulnDBによると、正規通信の傍受や、異常または再利用されたBearerトークンを使う偽造リクエストが想定されている。 攻撃者は権限昇格、永続的なアクセス維持、Cleo Harmonyが接続する他システムへの横展開に利用できる可能性がある。Cleoは5.8.1.11で修正したが、アドバイザリでは詳細を公開していない。 WatchTowrは脆弱性を再現したと述べ、迅速な更新を呼びかけている。Cleo製品では2024年末にもCl0pランサムウェア集団が脆弱性を悪用して大規模組織からデータを窃取した事例がある。 https://www.securityweek.com/exploit-published-for-fresh-cleo-harmony-vulnerability/

    Post summary
