huginn: Exposure of Sensitive System Information to an Unauthorized Control Sphere
CVE-2026-127082 is a high-severity exposure of sensitive system information to an unauthorized control sphere vulnerability in huginn, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.7 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an attacker with a low-privileged account, without any action from a user. The record lists version 2026.11.09 as the first without the flaw, so updating huginn to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.43% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.

Official description
Huginn before 2026.11.09 contains an information exposure vulnerability in JqAgent that allows authenticated users to read the server process environment because the jq child process inherits it. Attackers who can create, configure or dry-run a JqAgent can supply a filter using env or $ENV to disclose APP_SECRET_TOKEN, database, SMTP and OAuth secrets.

The underlying weakness: Exposure of Sensitive System Information to an Unauthorized Control Sphere
The product does not properly prevent sensitive system-level information from being accessed by unauthorized actors who do not have the same level of access to the underlying system as the product does.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Production applications should never use methods that generate internal details such as stack traces and error messages unless that information is directly committed to a log that is not viewable by the end user. All error message text should be HTML entity encoded before being written to the log file to protect against potential cross-site scripting attacks against the viewer of the logs
