Taubyte Tau v1.1.10 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in the services/auth HTTP service that allows any authenticated user to read or permanently d

Taubyte Tau v1.1.10 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in the services/auth HTTP service that allows any authenticated user to read or permanently delete another tenant's project by supplying an arbitrary project ID to the GET and DELETE /projects/{id} endpoints. The GitHubTokenHTTPAuth middleware only validates that a caller presents a valid GitHub OAuth token without verifying ownership or access rights to the target project, enabling attackers with any valid GitHub token to invoke bare KV-store operations such as projects.Fetch and project.Delete against any project ID to achieve cross-tenant project takeover.

What it means for a small business

If your business uses tau, install the vendor's update. If you're not sure whether you use it, ask whoever manages your computers.

How likely is an attack? The Exploit Prediction Scoring System, run by FIRST (the global association of security response teams), puts the odds of this one being exploited in the next 30 days at 0.46%, higher than 39% of CVEs. That’s low, but low isn’t zero, and the odds jump the day someone publishes an exploit. Scored October 29, 2026, updated daily.

Check your own setup

Website check: reads what your site runs from the outside (WordPress version, plugins it can see, old server software) and matches it against this database.
Server check: what your web server says about itself, and whether that version has known flaws.
