Admin credentials are not verified when using X.509 client-certificate authentication from Sync Gateway to Couchbase Server. When Sync Gateway is configured to authenticate with Couchbase Server using X.509 client certificates, the admin credentials provided to the Admin REST API are ignored, resulting in privilege escalation for unauthenticated users. The Public REST API is not impacted by this issue. A workaround is to replace X.509 certificate based authentication with Username and Password authentication inside the bootstrap configuration.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.8},"cwes":["CWE-295"],"references":["https://forums.couchbase.com/tags/security","https://www.couchbase.com/alerts","https://forums.couchbase.com/tags/security","https://www.couchbase.com/alerts"],"products":["couchbase:sync_gateway"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:32:39.174919249+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2022-32563","score":0.00842,"percentile":0.5793,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-9266-j9v3-q4j5","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-9266-j9v3-q4j5","summary":"Couchbase Sync Gateway admin credentials not verified when using X.509 client cert authentication","modified":"2024-09-13T18:46:31.603096Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"couchbase","purl":"pkg:pypi/couchbase","ranges":[">=3.0.0 <3.0.2"],"fixed":["3.0.2"]}]},{"id":"PYSEC-2022-207","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2022-207","summary":"","modified":"2026-06-10T17:00:54.882824688Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"couchbase","purl":"pkg:pypi/couchbase","ranges":[">=3.0.0 <3.0.2"],"fixed":["3.0.2"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
