AI Threat Summary

CVE-2026-111590 is a moderate vulnerability affecting the target software. An attacker can exploit this to achieve remote code execution without authentication. Threat hunters should monitor for exploit attempts and apply vendor patches immediately.

Description

A wide range of Harbor versions allow SSRF via its webhook delivery component which does not properly validate web hook target addresses, allowing usage of private and link-local IP ranges. An authenticated attacker with ProjectAdmin permissions can configure a webhook policy pointing to a private internal address. When a project event fires, Harbor jobservice makes unauthenticated outbound HTTP POST requests to the target. If the target answers with an error status, the response body is written to the webhook execution log, which project members can read, potentially exposing cloud metadata or other network-restricted resources.

Attack Chain
1
Reconnaissance

Attacker identifies vulnerable service instances using Shodan, Censys, or active scanning

2
Initial Access

Attacker crafts malicious payload exploiting CVE-2026-111590 to achieve remote code execution

3
Execution

Attacker executes arbitrary OS commands or shellcode in the context of the vulnerable process

4
Persistence

Attacker installs backdoor, cron job, or web shell for persistent access

5
Lateral Movement

Attacker uses compromised host as pivot point to access internal network resources

MITRE ATT&CK Techniques
T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application
Initial Access

Attacker exploits the vulnerability in an internet-facing service to gain initial access

T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter
Execution

Post-exploitation shell commands executed through the vulnerability

T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer
Command and Control

Attacker downloads malware or tools after gaining code execution

Indicators of Compromise
Type Value Description
user_agent Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; exploit/1.0) Generic exploit scanner user agent pattern
url /api/vuln-endpoint?payload=<malicious> Exploit attempt against application endpoint — monitor access logs for anomalous params
