CVE-2026-45246 Details
Description
Summarize prior to 0.15.1 contains an insecure file permission vulnerability in the refresh-free configuration rewrite path that allows local users to read sensitive credentials by exploiting default filesystem permissions. When the refresh-free path rewrites the configuration file, it creates the replacement with default process umask permissions instead of preserving the original file permissions, exposing the config file containing API keys and provider credentials to other local users on shared Unix-like systems.
A vulnerability exists in Steipete Summarize versions prior to 0.15.1, where the refresh-free configuration rewrite process does not properly manage file permissions. This flaw allows local users to access sensitive credentials by taking advantage of default filesystem permission settings. When the refresh-free path updates the configuration file, it applies the default process umask permissions instead of maintaining the original file permissions. As a result, the configuration file, which contains API keys and provider credentials, is exposed to other local users on shared Unix-like systems.
Users can upgrade to Steipete Summarize version 0.15.2 or later, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
