CVE-2026-4404
PUBLISHED
CVSS 9.399999618530273 CRITICAL
GoHarbor Harbor is an OCI-compliant open-source container registry widely adopted, especially in
cloud-native environments. It stores, signs, and manages container images.
CVE-2026-4404 represents a critical vulnerability (CVSS score of 9.4) found in GoHarbor versions 2.15.0
and below that allows attackers to leverage a default, hardcoded password to gain unauthorized access
to the application’s web UI.
The core issue is the use of hardcoded credentials within GoHarbor Harbor. Specifically, a default
password is embedded in the application’s code for versions 2.15.0 and earlier. This isn’t a bypass or an
injection; it’s a known, fixed credential that an attacker can simply use. The presence of this default
password means that any instance running the vulnerable versions, where this password hasn’t been
changed post-installation, is susceptible to unauthorized access.
Instances running versions above 2.15.0 are not affected by this vulnerability.
