Last modified
CVE-2026-8890 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.8/10 on the CVSS scale. code100x contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the Mobile API that allows unauthenticated attackers to impersonate arbitrary users by supplying a crafted JSON payload in the 'g' HTTP header. The middleware in middleware.ts skips identity header generation when an Auth-Key header is present without validating its value, allowing attackers to inject a spoofed user identity header that the downstream route handler in the mobile courses endpoint accepts as trusted, granting unauthorized access to course data belonging to any enrolled user or administrator.. EPSS estimates a 0.49% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
