Summary

Credentials for a registry may be inadvertently leaked to external servers. A prerequisite for this attack is a malicious registry server, a malicious blob store, or a registry that does not restrict the external URLs for foreign blobs. Example attack A malicious registry serves an OCI image manifest containing a layer descriptor with a urls field pointing to an attacker controlled host: When regclient fetches the image and the primary blob request to the registry fails, it falls back to the URLs in the layer descriptor. If the external server requests authentication, regclient would send the credentials for the original registry server.

Impact

Severity and exposure

CVE-2026-49349 has a CVSS score of 6.8 (Medium). The vector is network-reachable, low privileges required, and user interaction required. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment.

A fixed version is available (0.11.5). Upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

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 instead of chasing every advisory.

Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether CVE-2026-49349 is reachable in your applications. Explore open-source security for your team.

How severe is CVE-2026-49349?

CVE-2026-49349 has a CVSS score of 6.8 (Medium). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.

Which versions of github.com/regclient/regclient are affected by CVE-2026-49349?

github.com/regclient/regclient (go) versions <= 0.11.4 is affected.

Is there a fix for CVE-2026-49349?

Is CVE-2026-49349 exploitable, and should I be worried?

Whether CVE-2026-49349 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-2026-49349 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.

How do I fix CVE-2026-49349?

Upgrade github.com/regclient/regclient to 0.11.5 or later.
