Questions about CVE-2026-120191
What does this mean?
The local Presenton API accepts requests without authentication. A page loaded in a browser inside the same user session can read presentations and admin provider settings that include plaintext API keys, overwrite configuration, and consume paid image-generation quota.Source: github.com
Am I affected, and how do I check?
The affected setup is the Presenton desktop (Electron) build with the DISABLE_AUTH environment variable unset, which makes authentication disabled by default. To check a setup, look at whether DISABLE_AUTH is set in the environment the app runs in; if it is unset, the default applies.Source: github.com
What should I do about it?
The facts list no fixed version or upgrade target. Check the vendor's advisory or release notes for a patched Presenton release.Source: github.com
Is it being exploited?
It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cve.now feed data
