CVE-2026-55882: Tilt: Unauthenticated pprof debug endpoints on the Tilt HUD server

Advisory generated from the CVE record, CISA, Exploit Observer and VEDAS: what it is, whether it is exploited, who is affected, and how to fix and detect it.

Generated by VEDAS. Scores as of 2026-11-01 19:19 UTC. Rebuilt every few hours from cve-scores, CISA KEV and vedas-signatures. How this works and its limits.

What it is

Tilt defines dev environments as code for microservice apps on Kubernetes. From 0.19.5 through 0.37.3, the Tilt HUD server mounts Go net/http/pprof handlers under /debug with no access control. When the HUD or apiserver listener is network-exposed, an unauthenticated caller can read process memory through /debug/pprof/heap and /debug/pprof/goroutine, including session and apiserver tokens, and degrade performance through /debug/pprof/profile or /debug/pprof/trace. This issue is fixed in version 0.37.4.

Description quoted from the CVE record (assigned by GitHub_M, published 2026-07-10).

Weakness: CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor

How it can be exploited

Exploitable over the network with low attack complexity only when specific conditions are present needing no privileges and no user interaction. Impact: confidentiality high, integrity none, availability low. CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N

CISA assessment (SSVC): CISA has no evidence of exploitation. Automatable: no. Technical impact: partial.

How to detect it

Nuclei template (active check)

Tilt - Information Disclosure

Tilt from 0.19.5 through 0.37.3 mounts Go net/http/pprof debug handlers under /debug with no access control on the HUD/apiserver listener. When that listener is network-exposed, an unauthenticated attacker can reach the pprof index and profiling endpoints to read process memory, including session and apiserver tokens.

Name and description quoted from the template, written by VEDAS.

The template sends 1 request (GET /debug/pprof/); it decides using status, word matchers. Severity in the template: high. Marked as not yet verified against a live vulnerable target.
