# CVE-2026-42864: FireFighter has unauthenticated SSRF in its Raid jira_bot endpoint that allows IAM credential theft

**Signal:** Critical and remotely reachable. No known exploitation yet, but it is network-reachable without credentials. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- No confirmed exploitation. It is not in CISA’s KEV catalog and CISA’s SSVC assessment records no known exploitation. That can change quickly after a public write-up; re-check if you are affected.
- EPSS 0.4% , percentile 38: FIRST’s model estimates a 0.4% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 38% of all scored CVEs (low). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Remotely reachable with no login and no user interaction. If the vulnerable service is exposed to the internet, prioritize it.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes firefighter-incident (PyPI) < 0.0.54, fixed in 0.0.54 . Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.

## What it is

FireFighter is an incident management application. Prior to 0.0.54, the POST /api/v2/firefighter/raid/jirabot endpoint (CreateJiraBotView) is reachable without authentication (permissionclasses = [permissions.AllowAny]). Its attachments payload is fetched server-side via httpx.get() with no URL validation, then uploaded as an attachment on the Jira ticket that gets created. An unauthenticated caller able to reach the ingress can coerce the pod into fetching arbitrary URLs and exfiltrate the response as a Jira attachment. On EC2/EKS deployments that do not enforce IMDSv2, this allows theft of the temporary AWS credentials attached to the pod's IAM role. The docstring on the view claims a Bearer token is required, but the code does not enforce it. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.0.54.

## Affected packages

- PyPI `firefighter-incident` < 0.0.54 → fixed: 0.0.54

## Affected products (CVE record)

- ManoManoTech firefighter-incident: < 0.0.54

## Severity

- GitHub_M CVSS 3.1: 9.9 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:L`
- GitHub CVSS 3.1: 9.9 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:L`

## Exploitation

- CISA KEV: not listed (no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation known to CISA).
- CISA SSVC assessment: exploitation none , automatable yes , technical impact partial .
- FIRST EPSS (model of 2026-10-21): 0.45% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 38.
