netdisk-fast-download: Use of Hard-coded Cryptographic Key

Published Updated By the CyberSecBulletin desk

CVE-2026-111612 is a high-severity use of hard-coded cryptographic key vulnerability in netdisk-fast-download from Qaiu, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. Affected netdisk-fast-download versions: 0.4.8 and earlier. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.49% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.

Next patch cycle

High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.

What to do

  1. Check which version of netdisk-fast-download you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
  2. Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description

netdisk-fast-download through 0.4.8 contains an information disclosure vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to retrieve donated netdisk credentials via the /v2/randomAuth endpoint in ParserApi. Attackers can repeatedly call the endpoint and decrypt the encryptedAuth blob using the hard-coded AES key nfd_auth_key2026 to recover other users' cloud-drive cookies, tokens, or passwords.
