CVE-2026-23944
Unknown Unknown - Not Provided
Unauthenticated Proxy Access in Arcane Enables Remote Resource Manipulation

Publication date: 2026-01-19

Last updated on: 2026-02-02

Assigner: GitHub, Inc.

Description
Arcane is an interface for managing Docker containers, images, networks, and volumes. Prior to version 1.13.2, unauthenticated requests could be proxied to remote environment agents, allowing access to remote environment resources without authentication. The environment proxy middleware handled `/api/environments/{id}/...` requests for remote environments before authentication was enforced. When the environment ID was not local, the middleware proxied the request and attached the manager-held agent token, even if the caller was unauthenticated. This enabled unauthenticated access to remote environment operations (e.g., listing containers, streaming logs, or other agent endpoints). An unauthenticated attacker could access and manipulate remote environment resources via the proxy, potentially leading to data exposure, unauthorized changes, or service disruption. Version 1.13.2 patches the vulnerability.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability affects Arcane, an interface for managing Docker environments. Before version 1.13.2, unauthenticated requests could be proxied to remote environment agents, allowing attackers to access remote environment resources without authentication. The middleware handling environment proxy requests would forward requests with a manager-held agent token even if the requester was unauthenticated, enabling unauthorized access to operations like listing containers or streaming logs on remote environments.

Impact Analysis

An unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to access and manipulate remote environment resources. This could lead to data exposure, unauthorized changes to the environment, or disruption of services managed through Arcane.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade Arcane to version 1.13.2 or later, as this version patches the vulnerability that allowed unauthenticated access to remote environment operations via the proxy.
