CVE-2026-81178 — SysReptor: Anonymous note-share link discloses project member identities and non-shared note activity
SysReptor is a fully customizable pentest reporting platform. Prior to 2026.55, an unauthenticated holder of a public note share link receives project-wide collaborative editing metadata because the public share consumer joins the same collaboration group as authenticated project members and forwards client information, connection, awareness, and deletion events without consistently restricting them to the shared note subtree. The disclosed metadata can identify project members through usernames and names and reveal the identifiers and live editing activity of notes that were not shared. The content of non-shared notes remains protected, and the issue does not grant write access. This issue is fixed in version 2026.55.
Who exploits it and how urgent it is
A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.
How the score was calculated
- EPSS 0.3% (30-day exploitation probability)+3
The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).
Triage
Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.
CISA SSVC assessment CISA
Three decision points CISA publishes for the CVEs it assesses (SSVC 2.0.3). A stakeholder decision, not a severity score.
Remediation
Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.
No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.
First 24 hours
Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.
- Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Syslifters Sysreptor).
- No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
- Exploitation requires user interaction: tighten email/web filtering and warn affected users.
- Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (access control), errors and authentication anomalies.

CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N (score shown at the top: security-advisories@github.com) Weakness MITRE
Weakness class according to MITRE’s CWE catalog.
Detection
Read off the CVSS vector and the weakness class. Starting points, not tested rules.
- Prioritize edge telemetry for the network-reachable component (proxy, WAF, IDS/IPS).
- Audit administrative actions and access to resources outside each user’s normal pattern.

What should defenders know first?
CVE-2026-81178 is "SysReptor: Anonymous note-share link discloses project member identities and non-shared note activity", rated Low. It affects Sysreptor (Syslifters); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. CVSS 3.5 describes technical severity. EPSS 0.30% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
