CVE-2026-55884 — Tilt defines dev environments as code for microservice apps on Kubernetes

Critical CVSS 9.2

Tilt defines dev environments as code for microservice apps on Kubernetes. From 0.20.8 through 0.37.3, the Tilt HUD HTTP server registers handlers on a gorilla/mux router with no authenticating middleware. When the HUD is bound to a non-loopback address, an unauthenticated network caller can trigger developer-defined resources, tamper with Tiltfile arguments, read full engine state including the session token, and invoke apiserver resources through the token-attaching /proxy handler. This issue is fixed in version 0.37.4.

Matched remediation archetype

Authentication bypass and missing authentication

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Map every affected endpoint and protocol path, including alternate ports, legacy routes, recovery flows, service accounts, and machine-to-machine access.
  • Confirm which deployments enable the affected authentication mode and whether the interface is reachable from untrusted networks.
  • Review session, token, credential, and proxy trust configuration without attempting account takeover.

Remediate safely

  • Apply the supported fix and centralize fail-closed authentication before protected request handling.
  • Remove default or embedded credentials, rotate affected secrets and sessions, and bind authentication decisions to the intended audience and channel.
  • Add negative tests for alternate routes, malformed or absent credentials, recovery flows, and proxy-derived identity.
