Utmstack · Utmstack · CVE-2026-82042
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
UTMStack versions prior to 11.2.16
**Description**
An authentication bypass exists that allows remote attackers to obtain full administrative API access. This occurs because the `InternalApiKeyFilter` accepts a valid `Utm-Internal-Key` header matching the `INTERNAL KEY` environment variable for any endpoint. The implementation lacks path restrictions, constant-time comparison, rate limiting, and audit logging. Attackers possessing this key can bypass user account requirements or JSON Web Tokens (JWT) to create accounts, manage users, exfiltrate data, and modify security rules.
**Recommendations**
Update UTMStack to version 11.2.16 or later.
