FAUCET Score

CVE-2023-37918 is a critical vulnerability in Dapr, a runtime for distributed applications, that allows an attacker to bypass API token authentication. This flaw affects Dapr users who have configured API token authentication, enabling unauthorized access to the Dapr sidecar via a specially crafted HTTP request. With a CVSS score of 7.5 (High), the vulnerability is easily exploitable over the network with low complexity, potentially leading to high confidentiality impact without requiring user interaction.
