CVE-2026-1496Coverity CLI Authentication Bypass

Does this affect you?

It affects Black Duck Coverity. Add what you run to find out whether that includes you.

No exploitation reported and no EPSS estimate yet.

Vulnerable versions of Coverity Connect lack an error handler in the authentication logic for command line tooling that makes it vulnerable to an authentication bypass. A malicious actor with access to the /token API endpoint that either knows or guesses a valid username, can use this in a specially crafted HTTP request to bypass authentication. Successful exploitation allows the malicious actor to assume all roles and privileges granted to the valid user’s Coverity Connect account.
