Prior to version 1.9.6, the Enforcer incorrectly validates scope paths by using a simple prefix match (startswith). This allows a token with access to a specific path (e.g., /john) to also access sibling paths that start with the same prefix (e.g., /johnathan, /johnny), which is an Authorization Bypass. This issue has been patched in version 1.9.6.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","score":6.5},"cwes":["CWE-285"],"references":["https://github.com/scitokens/scitokens/commit/7a237c0f642efb9e8c36ac564b745895cca83583","https://github.com/scitokens/scitokens/releases/tag/v1.9.6","https://github.com/scitokens/scitokens/security/advisories/GHSA-w8fp-g9rh-34jh"],"products":["scitokens:scitokens_library"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:28:18.033120106+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-32716","score":0.00396,"percentile":0.33823,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-w8fp-g9rh-34jh","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-w8fp-g9rh-34jh","summary":"SciTokens has an Authorization Bypass via Incorrect Scope Path Prefix Checking","modified":"2026-07-13T07:26:51.235264032Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"scitokens","purl":"pkg:pypi/scitokens","ranges":["<1.9.6"],"fixed":["1.9.6"]}]},{"id":"PYSEC-2026-2276","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2026-2276","summary":"","modified":"2026-07-13T07:15:42.279003548Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"scitokens","purl":"pkg:pypi/scitokens","ranges":["<1.9.6"],"fixed":["1.9.6"]}]}],"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).
