A security vulnerability has been identified in the Planet9 desktop application where a hardcoded read-only API key permitted unauthorized access to internal repositories. An attacker could exploit this access to extract embedded administrative keys and secrets, potentially allowing them to gain administrative access to repository infrastructure and modify software source code. To mitigate this security risk, Acer has released an update to resolve the issue.
Planet9 Version v2.8.128 contains a resolution to this vulnerability. The application will automatically update to the patched version (v2.8.128) in the background.
