Critical (9.3). EPSS 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
OpenViking through version 0.1.18, prior to commit 0251c70, contains a broken access control vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to gain ROOT privileges when the root_api_key configuration is omitted. Attackers can send requests to protected endpoints without authentication headers to access administrative functions including account management, resource operations, and system configuration.
