CVE-2026-23846

CWE-598Published: January 19, 2026· Updated: Jun 17, 2026

9.1

CVSS v3.1

Official Description

Tugtainer is a self-hosted app for automating updates of Docker containers. In versions prior to 1.16.1, the password authentication mechanism transmits passwords via URL query parameters instead of the HTTP request body. This causes passwords to be logged in server access logs and potentially exposed through browser history, Referer headers, and proxy logs. Version 1.16.1 patches the issue.

Risk Analysis

Tugtainer versions prior to 1.16.1 transmit passwords via URL query parameters, leading to sensitive information exposure in logs and browser history. This critical flaw exposes administrative credentials to unauthorized parties.

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

Recommended Action

Upgrade to Tugtainer version 1.16.1 or later to ensure credentials are transmitted securely in the HTTP request body.

Generated by the CTIWATCH analysis pipeline from this CVE's metadata (CVSS, EPSS, KEV status, exploit intelligence). Verify against vendor advisories before acting.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-23846 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.

A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), with a CVSS base score of 9.1.
