Impact
What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?
This issue impacts every Soft Serve instance.
A critical authentication bypass allows an attacker to impersonate any user (including Admin) by "offering" the victim's public key during the SSH handshake before authenticating with their own valid key. This occurs because the user identity is stored in the session context during the "offer" phase and is not cleared if that specific authentication attempt fails.
Affected versions
Security releases
Kodem intelligence
Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.
Remediation advice
Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?
Yes, please upgrade to version 0.11.3 as soon as possible.

- Which versions of github.com/charmbracelet/soft-serve are affected by CVE-2026-24058? github.com/charmbracelet/soft-serve (go) versions <= 0.11.2 is affected.
- Is there a fix for CVE-2026-24058? Yes. CVE-2026-24058 is fixed in 0.11.3. Upgrade to this version or later.
- Is CVE-2026-24058 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2026-24058 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

- What actually determines whether CVE-2026-24058 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
