Publication date: 2026-10-05

Last updated on: 2026-10-05

Assigner: Perforce

Description
P4 Search prior to 2026.4.2 does not fail securely when its service authentication token is blank. In affected configurations, an unauthenticated attacker with network access can obtain the highest application privilege, potentially leading to compromise of P4 Search and the connected P4 Server.

Executive Summary

P4 Search versions before 2026.4.2 fail to enforce secure authentication when its service token is blank. This allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access to gain the highest application privileges, potentially compromising both P4 Search and the connected P4 Server.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could exploit this to gain full control over P4 Search and the connected P4 Server, leading to unauthorized access, data theft, or system manipulation. This could result in complete compromise of sensitive data and operations.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access and data breaches, violating GDPR and HIPAA requirements for data protection and access controls. Non-compliance may result in legal penalties and reputational damage.

Mitigation Strategies

Update P4 Search to version 2026.4.2 or later to address the insecure token handling. Ensure service authentication tokens are properly configured and not blank. Restrict network access to P4 Search services to trusted sources only.
