CVE-2026-45222
MEDIUM6.1EPSS 0.01%@steipete/summarize allows local attackers to read bearer tokens and API credentials stored in ~/.summarize/daemon.json
Published: 5/11/2026Modified: 5/18/2026
Description
Summarize versions through 0.14.1, fixed in commit 0cfb0fb, creates the daemon configuration directory and file with default filesystem permissions that may be world-readable on Unix-like systems, allowing local attackers to read bearer tokens and API credentials stored in ~/.summarize/daemon.json. A local attacker can exploit these permissive permissions to read the daemon bearer token and persisted provider credentials, enabling unauthorized access to the daemon or recovery of sensitive API keys.
