Frequently Asked Questions
CVE-2026-100684: Budibase Server Authentication Bypass
What is CVE-2026-100684 and which Budibase Server versions are affected?
CVE-2026-100684 is a critical improper authentication vulnerability (CWE-287) in the OIDC/SSO login flow of Budibase Server. The flaw allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to claim another user's pending invite and inherit their privileges, up to global administrator, by exploiting the way the server matches identity-provider-asserted email addresses. This vulnerability affects Budibase Server versions 3.41.0 up to (but not including) 3.45.0.

How can attackers exploit CVE-2026-100684 in Budibase Server?
An attacker who controls an account at a trusted identity provider can claim a victim's pending invite by asserting the victim's email address during the OIDC SSO login flow. Because Budibase Server does not require invite code validation or email verification for pending invites, the attacker can inherit the victim's privileges, including builder or global admin roles, resulting in account takeover and potential full tenant compromise. The legitimate invitee is locked out since the invite is consumed.

What is the severity of CVE-2026-100684?
CVE-2026-100684 is rated as critical, with a CVSS v4.0 score of 9.2 and a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.1 (High). The vulnerability allows for network-based attacks without authentication or user interaction, leading to high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.

How can organizations mitigate CVE-2026-100684?
To mitigate CVE-2026-100684, organizations should immediately upgrade Budibase Server to version 3.45.0 or later, which fixes the invite-matching logic. If patching cannot happen immediately, disable OIDC/SSO login for the tenant and audit pending invites and accounts created during the affected window for unauthorized claims. After upgrading, review global admin and builder role assignments for unexpected privilege inheritance.

IONIX Detection, Validation, and Mitigation of Zero-Day Exposures
How does IONIX detect and validate exposures to zero-day vulnerabilities like CVE-2026-100684?
IONIX uses multi-factor discovery methods, including DNS analysis, certificate mapping, and metadata inspection, to automatically map every internet-facing asset across your environment. The platform continuously monitors dozens of threat intelligence feeds using agentic technology to detect new CVEs, proof-of-concept code, and indicators of active targeting. IONIX applies AI to proactively evaluate exploitability, filters vulnerabilities by attacker-centric criteria, and transforms real-world PoCs into safe, non-intrusive test payloads for validation. This ensures rapid, targeted validation of exposures without unnecessary disruption. Note: Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.

What is Preemptive Exposure Mitigation (PEM) and how does IONIX deliver it?
Preemptive Exposure Mitigation (PEM) is IONIX's strategic approach to external exposure management. IONIX discovers the full external attack surface, validates which exposures are actually exploitable, and mitigates them before attackers can act. The platform operates across the CTEM lifecycle (discover, validate, prioritize, mitigate, verify) at machine speed, with humans governing policy and priorities. IONIX's PEM workflow includes Live Exposure Defense, WAF Posture Management, and agentic mitigation capabilities. Note: Best fit for organizations seeking agentless, continuous external exposure management; teams needing internal asset inventory may want to consider alternatives.

How fast does IONIX identify and validate exposures to new zero-days?
IONIX's Live Exposure Defense commits to a 12-hour SLA from CVE publication to identifying every potentially affected asset, with exploitability validation running inside the same window. This enables organizations to respond to zero-day threats like CVE-2026-100684 before attackers can act. Note: Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.

How does IONIX prioritize and route remediation for validated exposures?
IONIX routes validated exposure results through integrations with ticketing, SOAR, and SIEM tools such as Jira, ServiceNow, and Splunk. Issues are written in plain language, bundled into remediation clusters, and prioritized based on asset criticality, exploitability, and blast radius. This approach shortens mean time to remediation (MTTR) and enables teams to act with confidence. Note: Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.
