Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

prevent

Enforces approved authorizations for logical access, directly addressing the missing authentication enforcement on the OpenAPI endpoint.

prevent

Requires unique identification and authentication for non-organizational users, preventing remote attackers from bypassing authentication on the vulnerable endpoint.

prevent

Explicitly identifies and limits user actions permitted without identification or authentication, ensuring critical OpenAPI functions require authentication.

Security SummaryAI

CVE-2026-3053 is a vulnerability in DataLinkDC dinky versions up to 1.2.5, affecting the addInterceptors function in the file dinky-admin/src/main/java/org/dinky/configure/AppConfig.java within the OpenAPI Endpoint component. The flaw enables missing authentication through manipulation, as classified under CWE-287 (Improper Authentication) and CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Function). It was published on 2026-02-24 and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L).

Remote attackers require no privileges or user interaction and face low attack complexity to exploit the issue over the network. Successful exploitation bypasses authentication on the OpenAPI Endpoint, granting unauthorized access with low impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Advisories on VulDB and GitHub (AnalogyC0de/public_exp issues #6 and #3935019636) publicly disclose a working exploit that may be utilized. The vendor was contacted early regarding disclosure but provided no response, and no patches or official mitigations are available.
