Questions about CVE-2026-120192
What does this mean?
The auth middleware is bypassed in the desktop build, so requests to the app_data path can be made without logging in. Through that path, the stored data can be downloaded, including API keys, OAuth tokens, password hashes, the JWT signing key, the database, logs and uploaded or generated files.Source: github.com
Am I affected, and how do I check?
Affected builds are Presenton Electron desktop v0.9.11-beta on Windows, macOS and Linux. The exposure also depends on the DISABLE_AUTH setting, which is true by default in desktop builds, and on whether at least one LLM, search or stock API key has been saved or account setup has been completed. To check the version, look at the version shown in the app or the version recorded for the installed build.Source: github.com
What should I do about it?
The checked facts do not name a fixed version or a workaround, so no upgrade target can be given from them. Check the vendor's advisory for an updated release before relying on any version.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
