Routine

MEDIUM 6.5REMOTEUPGRADE

CVE-2026-41308 is a medium-severity flaw (CVSS 6.5) affecting password pusher. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

Password Pusher is an open source application to communicate sensitive information over the web. Prior to versions 1.69.3 and 2.4.2, a security issue in OSS PasswordPusher allowed unauthenticated creation of file-type pushes through a generic JSON API create path under certain configurations. This could bypass the intended authentication boundary for file push creation. This issue has been patched in versions 1.69.3 and 2.4.2.

Why this priority

Remotely exploitable, no login, no user action

A fixed release or distro patch exists.

apnotic password pusher UPGRADE

Affected: < 1.69.3 · >= 2.0.0 and < 2.4.2

Fixed in: 1.69.3, 2.4.2

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 2.0.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy password-pusher || rpm -q password-pusher || password-pusher --version

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 2.0.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison password-pusher sudo apt install password-pusher=<VERSION_BEFORE_2.0.0> sudo apt-mark hold password-pusher

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list password-pusher sudo dnf downgrade password-pusher-<VERSION_BEFORE_2.0.0> sudo dnf versionlock add password-pusher

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
