Vulnerability in github.com/anycable/anycable (CVE-2026-63406)

Summary

Vulnerability in github.com/anycable/anycable (CVE-2026-63406). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Exploitable via telemetry.anycable.io. Mitigation: upgrade to 1.6.15 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

Summary

The telemetry subsystem embeds a hardcoded auth token ("secret") in the public source and transmits raw CLI arguments—including --secret, --jwt_secret, and --http_rpc_secret values—to a third-party telemetry endpoint.

Details

In telemetry/config.go line 12, var authToken = "secret" is committed in the public repository and used to authenticate to https://telemetry.anycable.io. In telemetry/telemetry.go, clusterFingerprint() (line 320) calls both anycableFileConfig(c.ConfigFilePath) (line 333), which reads the full TOML config file contents, and anycableCLIArgs() (line 402), which reads os.Args[1:] verbatim—including any --secret=..., --jwt_secret=..., --http_rpc_secret=... arguments. Both raw values are passed to generateDigest() (line 373), meaning the actual secret strings flow through the code path and are included in telemetry data sent to the third-party server. Since the hardcoded authToken = "secret" is public, any attacker who can perform DNS hijacking or is positioned on the network path can intercept and read the telemetry payload containing operator credentials.

PoC

  1. Read telemetry/config.go in the public repo to find authToken = "secret".
  2. Set up a DNS spoof for telemetry.anycable.io pointing to an attacker-controlled server.
  3. Start anycable-go with --secret=my-production-secret.
  4. The server sends a POST to the attacker's endpoint with the telemetry JSON payload. The clusterFingerprint field…

❓ What is the problem

A vulnerability (CWE-312) exists in github.com/anycable/anycable. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via telemetry.anycable.io without authentication.

📍 Affected scope

Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of github.com/anycable/anycable. Attack surface: telemetry.anycable.io / clusterFingerprint / os.Args / authToken.

🔥 Severity

Severity: Medium (CVSS 5.9/10). Confidential information can be exposed externally.

🔧 How to fix

Update to 1.6.15.

🛡️ Workaround

Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.

🔍 Detection

Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Run grep -r 'github.com/anycable/anycable' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

  1. 1
    Identify exposure identify
    grep -r 'github.com/anycable/anycable' . | grep -v node_modules

    リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で github.com/anycable/anycable を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。

  2. 2
    Apply patch patch
    Upgrade github.com/anycable/anycable to 1.6.15

    ステージング環境で 1.6.15 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスを含めること。

  3. 3
    Post-deployment verification verify
    Confirm patched version is live in production

    パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番ではアクセスログ・WAF でアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
