CVE-2026-32714: SciTokens vulnerable to SQL Injection in KeyCache

• Severity: critical (CVSS 9.8 v3.1)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 0.5% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: yes

Description

SciTokens is a reference library for generating and using SciTokens. Prior to version 1.9.6, the KeyCache class in scitokens was vulnerable to SQL Injection because it used Python's str.format() to construct SQL queries with user-supplied data (such as issuer and key_id). This allowed an attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands against the local SQLite database. This issue has been patched in version 1.9.6.

Affected products

• scitokens: before 1.9.6 — fixed in 1.9.6

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: scitokens 1.9.6. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
