Description
MWDB Core versions >=2.2.0 and <2.19.0 contain a missing authorization vulnerability in the Remote Instances proxy API. The proxy API does not verify authentication for incoming requests, allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to send arbitrary requests to a remote MWDB instance using the identity and permissions associated with the configured API key. This can result in unauthorized actions being performed on the remote instance as if executed by the user whose API key was used to set up the remote instance. The vulnerability is limited to deployments where Remote Instances have been configured.This issue has been fixed in version 2.19.0
Detection & mitigation playbook
VulnerabilityDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for the affected component. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Remediation status
No patched version of the affected component has shipped for CVE-2026-66723 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-66723 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2026-66723. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
