CVE-2026-56265 Details
Description
Crawl4AI before 0.8.7 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability due to a hardcoded default JWT signing key in the Docker API server. Attackers who know the default key can forge valid authentication tokens for any user, bypassing authentication and gaining full access to protected functionality.
An authentication bypass vulnerability has been identified in Crawl4AI versions prior to 0.8.7. This issue arises from a hardcoded default JSON Web Token (JWT) signing key in the Docker API server. Attackers aware of the default key can create valid authentication tokens for any user, circumventing authentication and gaining unrestricted access to protected features.
Users can upgrade to Crawl4AI version 0.8.7 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched. For those self-hosting the Docker API, it's recommended to read the migration guide before upgrading.
