Attackers Exploit Critical JFrog Artifactory Flaw to Mint Admin Tokens Days After Disclosure
Threat actors exploit CVE-2026-82329, a default-config authentication bypass in JFrog Artifactory, to mint administrator tokens days after patch release.
watchTowr reports that CVE-2026-82329 (CVSS 9.8), an authentication bypass in JFrog Artifactory patched in version 7.161.20 on August 28, 2026, is being actively exploited as of September 1. The flaw, in JFrog Access, lets unauthenticated attackers abuse a 'phantom' join key on default configurations to forge access and mint administrator-level credentials. Observed activity includes admin token generation, user, group, and token enumeration, and backdoor user creation in limited cases, raising supply chain poisoning and lateral movement risks for the widely used artifact repository.
