CVE-2026-79667

Ech0 before 4.4.3 Authentication Bypass via Scope Enforcement

Published Aug 25, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 7.2 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Ech0 version 4.3.4 and earlier fails to reliably enforce scoped access token (least-privilege) restrictions on several privileged admin routes. Multiple privileged endpoints (e.g., /api/inbox, /api/panel/comments, /api/backup/export) omit scope checks and authorize based only on the user's admin role, and the backup export handler discards token scope metadata entirely. An attacker holding a deliberately limited (low-scope) admin access token can reach broader privileged functionality than intended, including reading the inbox and exporting a full database backup ZIP archive. Fixed in 4.4.3.
