CVE-2026-114079 triggerdotdev CVE debrief

Who should care

Defenders responsible for Trigger.dev deployments, particularly those using multiple environments (e.g., dev, staging, prod), should assess exposure and verify environment configurations to mitigate unauthorized deployment cancellations.

Why it matters

CVE-2026-114079 allows unauthorized deployment cancellations across environments in Trigger.dev due to improper scoping of API keys. Defenders should verify environment configurations and restrict API key usage to mitigate this vulnerability.

• Potential unauthorized deployment cancellations across environments
• Exposure of sensitive deployment information
• Compromise of production environments via lower-trust API keys
• Need for verification of environment configurations and API key restrictions

Technical summary

The deployment cancel path in Trigger.dev does not properly scope resource lookups to the authenticated key's environment, allowing a secret key for any environment in a project to cancel a deployment belonging to any other environment of the same project, including production. This vulnerability affects Trigger.dev deployments, particularly those using multiple environments (e.g., dev, staging, prod). Defenders should verify environment configurations and restrict API key usage to mitigate unauthorized deployment cancellations.

Defensive priority

Defenders should prioritize verifying environment configurations and restricting API key usage to mitigate unauthorized deployment cancellations.

Recommended defensive actions

• Verify environment configurations to ensure proper scoping of API keys
• Restrict usage of secret API keys to their respective environments
• Monitor deployment cancellation logs for unauthorized actions
• Update to version 4.5.6 or later to fix the vulnerability
• Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified
• Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
• Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented
