Information Disclosure in github.com/basekick-labs/arc (CVE-2026-48050)
Summary
Vulnerability in github.com/basekick-labs/arc (CVE-2026-48050). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via PublicPrefixes. Mitigation: upgrade to 0.0.0-20260520170331-32a4091fb949 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
Arc registers Go's net/http/pprof handlers at /debug/pprof/* via app.Use(pprof.New()) in internal/api/server.go, and /debug/pprof is added to PublicPrefixes in cmd/arc/main.go. The auth middleware short-circuits before the token check on prefix match, so the endpoints are reachable without any authentication.
Impact
Any network-reachable caller (no token required) can:
- Fetch
/debug/pprof/heap— leaks in-memory state: live SQL strings, decoded msgpack records, decompressed request bodies, cached*TokenInfo(the auth cache keys on SHA-256 of the plaintext token atauth.go:543). - Fetch
/debug/pprof/goroutine?debug=2— leaks call stacks, identifying internal code paths. - Fetch
/debug/pprof/profile?seconds=N— pins a CPU core for arbitrary duration. Trivial DoS amplification (one short HTTP request → minutes of server CPU). - Fetch
/debug/pprof/trace— long-duration execution trace, similar DoS profile.
No authentication, no rate limiting, no resource bound on the seconds parameter.
Patches
https://github.com/Basekick-Labs/arc/releases/tag/v26.06.1
Planned mitigation:
- Gate pprof registration behind an env var (
ARC_DEBUG_PPROF=1) that defaults to off. - When enabled, bind pprof to a separate localhost-only listener (
127.0.0.1:6060via dedicatednet/httpserver) so it's never reachable from the public API port. - Remove
/debug/pproffromPublicPrefixes. - Fix the
