klever-go: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
CVE-2026-86064 is a high-severity exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor vulnerability in klever-go from Klever-io, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.6 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. Affected klever-go versions: < 1.7.20. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.58% 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 klever-go you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
- Read the advisory on github.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description
Klever-Go is the Go implementation of the Klever blockchain protocol. Prior to 1.7.20, the default-open GET /log WebSocket route configured in config/node/api.yaml and registered by network/api/api.go does not require authentication. The first client message is parsed as a logger Profile in network/api/logs/logSender.go and applied process-wide through Profile.Apply, allowing a remote client to change global log levels and formatting options until the connection closes. The same connection is registered as a log observer and can receive live process logs. An attacker can suppress normal logs, increase verbosity, distort operator visibility, and access operational information without credentials. This issue is fixed in version 1.7.20.

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.
