Technical impact
A flaw in the Linux Foundation Magma control plane allows an attacker to manipulate an unknown function in the file orc8r/lib/go/registry/interceptors.go, which exposes hard‑coded credentials and permits remote authentication bypass. This credential leakage can enable an attacker to obtain privileged access, read or modify system configuration, and potentially execute arbitrary code. The weakness stems from insecure storage of credentials, corresponding to CWE-259 and CWE-798.
Affected Systems
Linux Foundation Magma versions up to 1.9.0 are affected. The vulnerability resides in the interceptors component of the orc8r library and is present in all releases through 1.9.0. No later revisions have been confirmed to contain the flaw.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates moderate severity, and the EPSS score is not available. The flaw can be triggered remotely without special privileges, and a public exploit has already been released, increasing the likelihood of real‑world attacks. Since it is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, the risk hinges on an available fix and how quickly users can apply it.
