Fabric Composer: Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity
CVE-2026-95749 is a high-severity insufficient verification of data authenticity vulnerability in Fabric Composer from Hewlett Packard Enterprise, 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, but only if a user takes part, for example by opening a link or file. Affected Fabric Composer versions: 7.4.0 and earlier; 7.0.0 through 7.3.4. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.2% 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 Fabric Composer you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.
- Because the attack needs a user to take part, warn users about unexpected links and files related to this product until it is patched.
