CVE-2026-71216 Details
Description
PagerDuty alarm hook transmits the integration routing key over cleartext HTTP. PagerDuty serves this endpoint over HTTPS and will normally answer plain HTTP with a redirect. That does not remove the exposure. The initial POST -- including the JSON body containing the routing key -- is written to the socket unencrypted before any redirect response is received. Redirection affects only whether the request is retried securely, not whether the first copy left the host in the clear. This issue affects Apache SkyWalking: from 9.6.0 through 11.0.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.0, which fixes the issue.
A vulnerability exists in the Apache SkyWalking PagerDuty alarm hook integration, where the routing key is transmitted over unencrypted HTTP. Although PagerDuty typically redirects HTTP requests to HTTPS, this does not eliminate the risk, as the initial POST request, including the JSON body with the routing key, is sent unencrypted before the redirect is processed. This issue affects Apache SkyWalking versions 9.6.0 through 11.0.0.
Users are advised to upgrade to Apache SkyWalking version 11.0.0, which addresses this vulnerability.
