CVE-2026-8621: Crabbox: authentication bypass vulnerability that allows impersonation of others by spoofing identity headers

May 14, 2026 (updated May 21, 2026)

Crabbox prior to v0.12.0 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows non-admin shared-token callers to impersonate other owners or organizations by spoofing identity headers. Attackers can inject malicious X-Crabbox-Owner and X-Crabbox-Org headers in requests authenticated with a shared token to bypass authorization checks and access owner/org-scoped lease operations belonging to victim accounts.
