Summary
CVE-2026-76157 is a missing authentication vulnerability (CWE-306) affecting the upload API endpoint of Datiphy Data Management Center. The flaw allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to upload arbitrary files to the server’s configured upload directory without any credentials or user interaction. The issue carries a High severity rating (8.8) and affects versions 8.3.0 through 8.5.1.
Technical details
- Root cause: The upload API endpoint in Datiphy Data Management Center does not enforce authentication before accepting file upload requests.
- Trigger conditions: An attacker sends a crafted request to the exposed upload API endpoint; no valid session, credentials, or prior authentication is required.
- Attack vector: Network — the endpoint can be reached remotely over the network with no privileges and no user interaction required.
- Impact: Arbitrary files can be written to the server’s configured upload directory, which can be leveraged to compromise data integrity and system availability (e.g., planting malicious content, overwriting files, or disrupting service).
Affected software
- Datiphy Data Management Center — versions v8.3.0 through v8.5.1
Severity
- CVSS Score: 8.8 (High)
- CVSS v4.0 Vector:
CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N
Mitigation and recommended actions
- Immediate: At the time of publication, no vendor-issued patched version has been confirmed in the public CVE record. Organizations running Datiphy Data Management Center v8.3.0–v8.5.1 should contact Datiphy Inc. directly to confirm availability of a fixed release and apply it as soon as it is issued.
- If no patch is available:
- Restrict network access to the Datiphy Data Management Center upload API endpoint to trusted, internal hosts only (e.g., via firewall rules or network segmentation), removing any direct internet exposure.
- Place the upload endpoint behind an authenticating reverse proxy or gateway that enforces credential checks before requests reach the application.
- Monitor the configured upload directory for unexpected or unauthorized files, and enable logging/alerting on upload API activity.
- Consider disabling the upload functionality entirely if it is not business-critical until a fix is confirmed.
