heym: Incorrect Privilege Assignment
CVE-2026-67541 is a high-severity incorrect privilege assignment vulnerability in heym from Heymrun, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.1 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. Affected heym versions: < 0.0.70. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.4% 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
- Check which version of heym you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.

Official description
Heym builds and runs agentic systems and business-process automations on self-hosted infrastructure. Prior to version 0.0.70, team-member management (add / remove / update) is gated only on team membership, not on the team creator/admin role — and TeamMember has no role column. Any non-creator member can seat an attacker account into the team; because credential team-shares are scoped only by TeamMember.user_id, the newly-added attacker can then decrypt every credential shared into that team (provider API keys, OAuth tokens. This issue has been patched in version 0.0.70.

The underlying weakness: Incorrect Privilege Assignment
A product incorrectly assigns a privilege to a particular actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
- Run your code using the lowest privileges that are required to accomplish the necessary tasks. If possible, create isolated accounts with limited privileges that are only used for a single task. That way, a successful attack will not immediately give the attacker access to the rest of the software or its environment. For example, database applications rarely need to run as the database administrator, especially in day-to-day operations.
