CVE-2026-85981Unauthenticated Localhost Admin Panel in Auth0 AD/LDAP Connector
Medium 6.7
In plain English
A medium-severity missing authentication in Auth0 AD/LDAP Connector from Auth0. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.2% (higher than 8% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
The administrative panel of the Auth0 AD/LDAP Connector (versions 6.5.0 and earlier) listens on the local loopback interface without requiring authentication. This allows a local, low-privileged user or process on the host system to access the panel's management endpoints without credentials. Through these endpoints, a local user can read configuration details, including plaintext Active Directory service account credentials, and modify connector settings.
