CVE-2026-42156 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2026-42156: Flowsint is an open-source OSINT graph exploration tool designed for cybersecurity investigation, transparency, and verification. Prior to 1.2.3, a remote attacker can create a node with a malicious type that can escape an existing Cypher query and an adversary can execute an arbitrary Cypher query. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.2.3.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2026-42156

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2026-42156 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2026-42156

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2026-42156.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.
