CVE-2026-29779 is a high-severity exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor vulnerability in UptimeFlare from Lyc8503, 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 UptimeFlare versions: < 377a5963c66ba9a798abebfe8d80378b053435e9. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.33% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.

High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.

What to do

  1. Check which version of UptimeFlare you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
  2. Read the advisory on github.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
  3. Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description

UptimeFlare is a serverless uptime monitoring & status page solution, powered by Cloudflare Workers. Prior to commit 377a596, configuration file uptime.config.ts exports both pageConfig (safe for client use) and workerConfig (server-only, contains sensitive data) from the same module. Due to pages/incidents.tsx importing and using workerConfig directly inside client-side component code, the entire workerConfig object was included in the client-side JavaScript bundle served to all visitors. This issue has been patched via commit 377a596.

The underlying weakness: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor

The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • Compartmentalize the system to have safe areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area. Ensure that appropriate compartmentalization is built into the system design, and the compartmentalization allows for and reinforces privilege separation functionality. Architects and designers should rely on the principle of least privilege to decide the appropriate time to use privileges and the time to drop privileges.
