{"id":"CVE-2026-57443","state":"PUBLISHED","title":"SCBE-AETHERMOORE Unauthenticated AetherBrowser Ops API Exposes Operator Email Digests","description":"SCBE-AETHERMOORE is a geometric AI governance and evaluation framework. Starting in version 4.0.2 and prior to version 4.2.1, the AetherBrowser API server (`scripts/aetherbrowser/api_server.py`) exposes the `POST /api/ops/check-email` endpoint without any authentication. Any remote attacker can call this endpoint and trigger execution of the `email_reader.py` subprocess, which connects to configured ProtonMail or Gmail accounts via IMAP and returns email metadata (sender, subject, body snippet) in the JSON response. The server binds to `0.0.0.0:8100` by default with CORS set to `allow_origins=[\"*\"]`, making it reachable from any network or browser origin. Version 4.2.1 patches the issue.","publishedAt":"2026-09-25T20:37:52.116Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-29T17:45:46.289Z","severity":{"score":7.5,"label":"High","version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","source":"GitHub_M"},"assigner":"GitHub_M","products":["issdandavis SCBE-AETHERMOORE"],"affected":[{"vendor":"issdandavis","product":"SCBE-AETHERMOORE","versions":[{"version":">= 4.0.2, < 4.2.1","status":"affected"}]}],"references":["https://github.com/issdandavis/SCBE-AETHERMOORE/security/advisories/GHSA-q986-4x7x-gx39","https://github.com/issdandavis/SCBE-AETHERMOORE/commit/ca833795e01eab060e92572e5f667c0c136b8c1e","https://github.com/issdandavis/SCBE-AETHERMOORE/commit/de7779b722c501dbcf4eae95dd51bb3984506fb1"],"weaknesses":["CWE-306"],"ingestedAt":"2026-10-29T20:12:24.861Z","source":{"repository":"CVEProject/cvelistV5","path":"cves/2026/57xxx/CVE-2026-57443.json","commit":"556c9d3a8cd17e218bb8e452ba7cd619a384ff47"},"raw":{"dataType":"CVE_RECORD","dataVersion":"5.2","cveMetadata":{"cveId":"CVE-2026-57443","state":"PUBLISHED","datePublished":"2026-09-25T20:37:52.116Z","dateUpdated":"2026-09-29T17:45:46.289Z","assignerShortName":"GitHub_M","assignerOrgId":"a0819718-46f1-4df5-94e2-005712e83aaa","dateReserved":"2026-06-24T13:21:20.729Z"},"containers":{"cna":{"title":"SCBE-AETHERMOORE Unauthenticated AetherBrowser Ops API Exposes Operator Email Digests","descriptions":[{"lang":"en","value":"SCBE-AETHERMOORE is a geometric AI governance and evaluation framework.
