CVE-2026-79576: Digital-Infrastructure SSO authentication bypass

CVE-2026-79576 · Severity: critical · CVSS 9.8 · Published 2026-09-08

Digital-Infrastructure is an enterprise identity and access management platform used to control employee authentication and permissions across organizations. A critical flaw in its Single-Sign On (SSO) component allows attackers to log in as any user—including administrators—without knowing their password, potentially granting full control over the system and access to sensitive organizational data.

Technologies: Risesoft Digital-Infrastructure. Vendors: Risesoft.

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the Y9AuthenticationHandler.authenticate method, which handles SSO logins. When a login request specifies loginType=qrCode, the handler retrieves a user by personId without verifying any password or QR-code state, bypassing the bcryptMatch validation required for other login types. The attacker can obtain the RSA public key from the unauthenticated /sso/api/getRsaPublicKey endpoint, use it to encrypt a known personId (which may be leaked via other application flaws), and submit a forged qrCode-type login request. Since there are no tenant restrictions or QR-code state checks, authentication succeeds immediately. The flaw affects Digital-Infrastructure v9.6.7 and earlier; patches or mitigations are not yet confirmed in the advisory.
