CVE-2026-68935: Chartbrew API connection private host bypass

CVE-2026-68935 · Severity: critical · CVSS 9.1 · Published 2026-11-06

Chartbrew is an open-source web charting application that connects to databases and APIs to visualize data. An authenticated user with permission to manage API connections can bypass network security restrictions to access internal HTTP services on the Chartbrew server's network. This could allow an attacker to gather information from or interact with internal systems that should not be reachable, such as metadata services or internal APIs.

Technologies: Chartbrew. Vendors: Chartbrew.

Upgrade to version 5.2.3 immediately. As a temporary workaround, restrict API connection management permissions to only trusted users.

Technical details

Versions 4.8.5 through 5.2.2 accept the allowPrivateHost field from user input during API connection creation and updates, bypassing private and reserved-network destination restrictions. An authenticated user with API connection management permissions can enable this field to reach internal HTTP services. The per-connection setting overrides the CB_ALLOW_PRIVATE_NETWORK_CALLS configuration option, making instance-level restrictions ineffective for connections with this override enabled.
