CVE-2026-32824 dataCycle-CORE vulnerability
dataCycle is a data management system for centrally storing, managing, searching, finding, and distributing data. In dataCycle-CORE, the module handling core processing and framework rules, before and including version 25.07.3, a low-privileged authenticated API user can supply `forwardToUrl` and `redirectUrl` values when triggering password reset or confirmation flows. Those values are then embedded into the outgoing email workflow without host allowlisting. This creates two related abuse paths: - password reset or confirmation links can be sent to a victim with the token already attached to an attacker-controlled `forwardToUrl` - after a legitimate password reset completes, the browser is redirected to attacker-controlled `redirectUrl` In practice, this can be used for phishing, token capture, confirmation hijacking, or steering a victim from a trusted email into an attacker domain. This is patched in version 26.06.08.

datacycle-engine dataCycle-CORE should be reviewed and updated if it matches the affected versions. The recommended fix is to apply the vendor-supported patched version or the mitigation steps below, then retest the public website with Fixnx.
Who is affected
Affected versions
- <= 25.07.3
Fixed versions
- Apply the latest vendor-supported patched version.
How to fix it
CVE-2026-32824 affects dataCycle-CORE and involves open redirect. An attacker may redirect users from a trusted login flow to an untrusted destination. Prioritize internet-facing, privileged, automation, and production deployments. Upgrade dataCycle-CORE to 26.06.08 or later.
- Inventory every deployment, device, package, plugin, container, build, and environment that uses dataCycle-CORE.
- Compare the installed version with the recorded affected range: <= 25.07.3.
- Upgrade dataCycle-CORE to 26.06.08 or later.
- Until patched, allow only exact local redirect destinations and block user-controlled external hosts in redirect or email-link parameters.
- Review configuration, roles, tokens, network paths, and exposed endpoints connected to dataCycle-CORE; remove access that is not required.
- Review authentication, email, redirect, and web logs for external destinations, token-bearing links, and unexpected post-login navigation.
- If exploitation is suspected, isolate affected assets, preserve evidence, rotate exposed credentials or keys, restore trusted data, and rebuild compromised systems before returning them to service.

Verify the fix
- Confirm every affected asset now runs the fixed vendor-supported release or has the documented mitigation for CVE-2026-32824 in place.
- Use a safe regression test to confirm the affected open redirect path no longer produces the vulnerable behavior.
- Confirm temporary access controls, endpoint restrictions, network blocks, and least-privilege settings remain effective after the update.
- Review post-remediation logs and rerun Fixnx plus the relevant package, dependency, firmware, browser, or product-specific security check.
- Document affected assets, versions, changes, validation evidence, reviewed logs, and any credential rotation, cleanup, or replacement completed.
