EchelonGraph scoreMEDIUM confidence

This high-severity CVE scores 8.2 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.5%, top 61% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).

OpenChoreo is a developer platform for Kubernetes. Prior to 1.0.4, 1.1.4, and 1.2.1, the OpenChoreo Backstage backend hardcoded backend.auth.dangerouslyDisableDefaultAuthPolicy and auth.providers.guest.dangerouslyAllowOutsideDevelopment to true, exposing /api/* without authentication and allowing unauthenticated catalog reads, scaffolder log reads, and catalog location creation or deletion. This issue is fixed in versions 1.0.4, 1.1.4, and 1.2.1.
