CVE-2026-32825 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, the application accepts unlimited password guesses against both the browser login flow and the JSON login endpoint. The source code enables Devise's `:lockable` module on the user model but explicitly disables both lock and unlock strategies, and no request throttling or rate-limiting layer was identified in the Rails code. This creates a direct online password-guessing risk: - valid user accounts can be attacked continuously without temporary lockout - the same weakness is reachable through both `/users/sign_in` and `/api/v4/auth/login` - successful guessing yields a normal session cookie in the HTML flow or a fresh JWT in the API flow - the API endpoint is especially attractive for automation because it requires no CSRF token This has been 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-2026-32825 affects dataCycle-CORE and involves authentication-control failure. An attacker may make unrestricted login attempts until a valid password is found. 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, enforce rate limits and temporary lockouts at the proxy or identity layer, require MFA, and alert on repeated failures.
- Review configuration, roles, tokens, network paths, and exposed endpoints connected to dataCycle-CORE; remove access that is not required.
- Review authentication and identity-provider logs for password spraying, repeated failures, successful logins after bursts, and unusual session creation.
- 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-2026-32825 in place.
- Use a safe regression test to confirm the affected authentication-control failure 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.
