CVE-2026-74047: Wazuh information disclosure via agent config endpoint

CVE-2026-74047 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.5 · Published 2026-10-13

Wazuh, a security monitoring and threat detection platform, exposes the agent enrollment password to low-privileged users through an API endpoint. An attacker with the default read-only role can retrieve the plaintext enrollment secret and use it to register unauthorized agents with the manager, gaining a foothold for data falsification or lateral movement across monitored infrastructure.

Technologies: Wazuh Manager. Vendors: Wazuh.

Technical details

An information disclosure vulnerability in Wazuh's API allows any user holding the agent:read permission to retrieve the authd.pass enrollment password in plaintext via the agent configuration endpoint (GET /agents/000/config/auth/auth). The vulnerability exists because the mask_sensitive_config() decorator was applied only to the manager-facing configuration endpoint but not to the agent-focused endpoint, despite both querying identical underlying data. The pseudo-agent ID 000, which represents the manager itself, is incorrectly treated as a regular agent and lacks the access controls present in other sensitive methods.
