CVE-2026-6043

Insecure Default Configuration in P4 Server

High8.8EPSS 1.3%
Published
Updated
Reserved
Assigned by
Perforce

Description

P4 Server versions prior to 2026.1 are configured with insecure default settings that, when exposed to untrusted networks, allow unauthenticated attackers to create arbitrary user accounts, enumerate existing users, authenticate to accounts with no password set, and access depot contents via the built-in 'remote' user. These default settings, taken together, can lead to unauthorized access to source code repositories and other managed assets. The 2026.1 release, expected in May 2026, enforces secure-by-default configurations on upgrade and new installations

What to do

Solution: Upgrade to P4 Server (P4D) version 2026.1 or later, expected in May 2026, which enforces secure-by-default configurations on both new installations and upgrades.

Workaround: For installations that cannot immediately upgrade to 2026.1, administrators should apply manual hardening by configuring security-related server settings as documented at https://help.perforce.com/helix-core/server-apps/p4sag/current/Content/P4SAG/security-configurables.html.
