CVE-2026-45222

Summarize Insecure Daemon Configuration File Permissions

State: Published
Severity: 6.9 Medium
Published: May 11, 2026
Updated: Oct 8, 2026
Reserved: May 11, 2026

Description

Summarize versions through 0.14.1, fixed in commit 0cfb0fb, creates the daemon configuration directory and file with default filesystem permissions that may be world-readable on Unix-like systems, allowing local attackers to read bearer tokens and API credentials stored in ~/.summarize/daemon.json. A local attacker can exploit these permissive permissions to read the daemon bearer token and persisted provider credentials, enabling unauthorized access to the daemon or recovery of sensitive API keys.
