CVE-2026-63645: OpenObserve unauthenticated config endpoint information disclosure

CVE-2026-63645 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.5 · Published 2026-09-24

OpenObserve is a cloud-native platform for monitoring and analyzing system performance. A flaw in versions before 0.90.3 exposes sensitive configuration data—including database credentials, administrator emails, and internal infrastructure details—through an unprotected endpoint accessible to anyone on the network. An attacker can use this exposed information to compromise databases, target administrators, or plan further attacks on the deployment.

Technologies: Openobserve. Vendors: Openobserve.

Technical details

The /config/runtime endpoint lacks authentication and returns the full server configuration with an incomplete secret filter that fails to recognize credential field names like dsn, creds, meta_postgres_dsn, meta_postgres_ro_dsn, meta_ddl_dsn, and usage_reporting_creds. An unauthenticated network attacker can directly access this endpoint to extract plaintext PostgreSQL credentials, administrator email, NATS service addresses, and filesystem paths without requiring any credentials or user interaction. The issue is fixed in version 0.90.3 by disabling the vulnerable endpoint.
