CVE-2026-100103
Perforce P4 Search container images prior to 2026.4.2 reset the service authentication token to a publicly documented default value. An unauthenticated attacker with network access can obtain the highest application privilege, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution and compromise of the connected P4 Server.
CVSS
- Version: 4.0

- Base score: 10
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.42%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 35
- Score date: 10/6/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
