Summary
CVE-2026-92729 is a missing-authentication/missing-authorization vulnerability in SigNoz, the open-source observability platform, affecting versions 0.88.0 through 0.141.0. The flaw allows unauthenticated attackers over the network to reach trace-funnel analytics endpoints and retrieve sensitive tracing data without any credentials. The issue is rated HIGH severity.
Technical details
- Root cause: the trace-funnel analytics routes in SigNoz’s HTTP handler were implemented without the authorization wrapper applied to other API routes, so requests to these endpoints bypass authentication checks entirely.
- Trigger condition: an attacker sends requests directly to the trace-funnel analytics endpoints of an internet-exposed SigNoz instance; no valid session, API key, or user interaction is required.
- Attack vector: Network (remote, unauthenticated), low attack complexity.
- Impact: disclosure of trace identifiers, span durations, span counts, and error information tied to an organization’s distributed traces — data that can reveal internal service topology, transaction identifiers, and application behavior useful for further targeting.
Affected software
- SigNoz (signoz), Go module
github.com/SigNoz/signoz - Versions 0.88.0 through 0.141.0 (inclusive)
- Fixed in version 0.141.1
Severity
- CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 8.2 (High) —
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:L - CVSS v4.0 Base Score: 8.8 (High) —
CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N - CWE-306: Missing Authentication for Critical Function; CWE-862: Missing Authorization
Mitigation and recommended actions
- Immediate: upgrade SigNoz to version 0.141.1 or later, which restores the authorization wrapper on trace-funnel analytics routes.
- If immediate patching is not possible: restrict network access to the SigNoz web/API interface to trusted internal networks or VPN, and place it behind an authenticating reverse proxy or gateway that enforces access control in front of the trace-funnel analytics endpoints until the upgrade is applied.
- Review SigNoz access and audit logs for unexpected or unauthenticated requests to trace-funnel analytics endpoints during the exposure window.
