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
- Read
telemetry/config.goin the public repo to findauthToken = "secret". - Set up a DNS spoof for
telemetry.anycable.iopointing to an attacker-controlled server. - Start anycable-go with
--secret=my-production-secret. - The server sends a POST to the attacker's endpoint with the telemetry JSON payload. The
