CVE-2026-97879 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.3 · Published 2026-09-25

StarTraining is an educational training platform that provides REST APIs for managing course content and student data. The vulnerability allows attackers to access the Swagger API documentation and complete API specification without authentication, exposing the full surface of available endpoints and enabling potential unauthorized API calls. An attacker can enumerate all available APIs and potentially exploit them for unauthorized access to sensitive educational and user data.

Technical details

Missing authentication in the api-docs endpoint (v3/api-docs) and Swagger UI endpoints due to overly permissive anonymous matchers in SecurityConfig.java. The vulnerability affects the api-docs Endpoint component and allows unauthenticated remote access over the network with no preconditions. Attackers gain full API surface enumeration and can use the exposed documentation to craft attacks against other endpoints; disabling Swagger in production or requiring authentication is required to fix this issue.
