{"id":"CVE-2026-55176","aliases":["EUVD-2026-90190"],"status":"published","title":"Soft Machine: Cross-tenant workspace API auth bypass via shared `CONTAINER_SHARED_SECRET` bearer token","description":"Soft Machine is a Virtual Machine–based agentic development environment / Cloud OS. In versions 0.2.247 and prior, two authentication helpers in /app/server.js — verifyContainerAuth() and authenticateWorkspaceHttp() — accept the global CONTAINER_SHARED_SECRET as a bearer token without verifying which workspace the caller belongs to. Because that secret is set identically on every container in the Fly app and is reachable from the user-facing process environment inside each workspace, any tenant can use it to authenticate to any other tenant's workspace API. The result is cross-workspace read, write, and destructive-restore primitives reachable from any paying customer's shell. The existing per-workspace token check (workspaceTokenMatches) protects the user-facing per-workspace token path, but the shared-secret bearer path bypasses it entirely. At time of publication, there are no publicly known patches.","severity":{"version":"3.1","score":9,"vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","level":"critical","assessor":"cna","from":"cve"},"epss":{"day":"2026-11-10","score":0.00288,"percentile":0.21575,"model":"v2026.06.15"},"facts":{"in_kev":false,"known_exploited":false,"public_exploit":false,"fix_available":false},"cwes":["CWE-863"],"published":"2026-09-30T16:30:42Z","modified":"2026-10-02T17:17:06Z","products":[{"vendor":"embysupport","product":"security"},{"vendor":"soft-machine-io","product":"security"}],"references":[{"url":"https://github.com/Soft-Machine-io/security/security/advisories/GHSA-63gh-vp9f-vxhj","tags":["x_refsource_CONFIRM","exploit"]}],"sources":{"cve":[{"id":"CVE-2026-55176","title":"Soft Machine: Cross-tenant workspace API auth bypass via shared `CONTAINER_SHARED_SECRET` bearer token","description":"Soft Machine is a Virtual Machine–based agentic development environment / Cloud OS.
