Who should care

Defenders responsible for reNgine installations, security teams, and auditors should assess exposure and potential impact. Low-privilege Auditor role users and administrators of reNgine should verify and restrict access to the GetFileContents API endpoint.

Why it matters

CVE-2026-92570 is an authorization bypass vulnerability in reNgine that allows authenticated users to read configuration files with third-party API keys. Defenders should verify exposure, assess impact, and restrict access to the GetFileContents API endpoint.

• Potential unauthorized access to sensitive third-party API keys.
• Possible exposure of configuration files containing sensitive information.
• Risk of lateral movement or privilege escalation through unauthorized access.
• Need for verification of reNgine installations and user role permissions.

Technical summary

The vulnerability exists in the GetFileContents API endpoint of reNgine through 2.2.0. It allows any authenticated user to read bundled recon tool configuration files without role-based permission checks. Attackers with low-privilege Auditor roles can access files containing third-party API keys for services like SecurityTrails, Shodan, Censys, VirusTotal, BinaryEdge, and Hunter. The vulnerability is caused by a lack of proper permission checks in the GetFileContents API endpoint, allowing authenticated users to access sensitive configuration files. Defenders should prioritize verifying exposure of reNgine installations to authenticated users, especially those with low-privilege Auditor roles, and assess the

Defensive priority
