Description
Summary
The Tilt HUD server mounts Go's net/http/pprof handlers under /debug with no access control. When the HUD is network-exposed, an attacker can read process memory — including session and apiserver tokens — and hold the process under profiling.
Details
A blank import of net/http/pprof registers its handlers on http.DefaultServeMux, which the HUD controller mounts under /debug on both the web router and the apiserver listener. /debug/pprof/heap and /goroutine expose process memory, including the session token (also issued in the Tilt-Token cookie) and the apiserver loopback bearer token; /profile and /trace let a caller sample the process for an arbitrary duration.
Impact
An unauthenticated caller who can reach the listener can extract process memory — including the session and apiserver tokens — and degrade performance by holding the process under CPU profiling or tracing. The leaked tokens compound the missing-authentication finding on the same server.
Conditions for exploitation
- Affected version in
>= 0.19.5, <= 0.37.3. - HUD (or apiserver) listener bound to a non-loopback address (
tilt up --host 0.0.0.0, orTILT_HOSTset). - Network reachability to the listener (default port
10350).
Not affected
- The default loopback-only bind is not reachable from the network.
Workarounds
Use the default loopback bind (omit --host, unset TILT_HOST) so /debug is not remotely reachable. No complete workaround short of upgrading for non-loopback deployments.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/tilt-dev/tilt, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update github.com/tilt-dev/tilt to 0.37.4 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-55882 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Put an independent control in front of the weakness: restrict the affected endpoint or interface to trusted networks, require an additional authentication factor or proxy-level check, and invalidate existing sessions and credentials in case the flaw has already been used.
