CWE-288Published: March 5, 2024· Updated: Jun 17, 2026

9.8

CVSS v3.1

Official Description

Services that are running and bound to the loopback interface on the Artica Proxy are accessible through the proxy service. In particular, the "tailon" service is running, running as the root user, is bound to the loopback interface, and is listening on TCP port 7050. Security issues associated with exposing this network service are documented at gvalkov's 'tailon' GitHub repo. Using the tailon service, the contents of any file on the Artica Proxy can be viewed.

Risk Analysis

Artica Proxy exposes internal services, specifically the 'tailon' service running as root, to the network. This allows unauthorized users to view any file on the system, leading to a critical security breach.

No public exploit is known, and it is not in the CISA KEV. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable.

Recommended Action

Update Artica Proxy to the latest version and restrict access to internal services bound to the loopback interface.
