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.
