CVE-2026-67568 Overview
CVE-2026-67568 affects the distributed Mira Android APK version 4.5.15.4, a mobile application for reproductive health tracking. The vulnerability allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to gain read and write access to reproductive health profiles from internet-connected hosts. The flaw is classified under [CWE-798: Use of Hard-coded Credentials], enabling forgery, deletion, or destruction of sensitive health information. CISA published this issue as a medical device advisory (ICSMA-26-223-01) due to the sensitivity of the affected data and the network-accessible attack surface.
Critical Impact
Remote, unauthenticated attackers can read and modify reproductive health records stored by the Mira Android APK, compromising the confidentiality and integrity of protected health information.
Affected Products
- Mira Android APK version 4.5.15.4
- Reproductive health profile data managed by the distributed Mira mobile client
- Associated backend endpoints reachable from internet-connected hosts

Technical Details for CVE-2026-67568
Vulnerability Analysis
The Mira Android APK ships with hard-coded credentials that authenticate access to reproductive health profile data. Because these credentials are embedded in the distributed APK, any party that extracts them can authenticate to the associated backend service. The attack requires no user interaction and no prior privileges on the target account. Once authenticated, an attacker can enumerate, read, modify, or delete profile records belonging to other users.
Hard-coded credentials in mobile applications are trivially recoverable through APK decompilation, static string inspection, or network traffic analysis. The credential set functions as a shared secret across every installation of the application, which eliminates the isolation typically provided by per-user authentication.
Root Cause
The root cause is [CWE-798: Use of Hard-coded Credentials]. Authentication material required to reach reproductive health profile APIs is compiled into the mobile client rather than being provisioned per-user or per-session. This design defect collapses the access control boundary for every user of the platform.
Attack Vector
Exploitation occurs over the network. An attacker downloads the distributed APK, extracts the embedded credentials using standard reverse-engineering tools, and issues API requests directly to the internet-facing backend. No victim interaction, phishing, or malware deployment is required. The attacker can iterate over profile identifiers to read or overwrite arbitrary health records.
No public proof-of-concept is currently associated with this CVE. See the CISA Medical Advisory and the GitHub CSAF File for authoritative technical detail.
Detection Methods for CVE-2026-67568
Indicators of Compromise
- Unexpected outbound API traffic from mobile devices or servers to Mira backend endpoints originating from non-mobile user agents
- Bulk enumeration patterns against profile identifier ranges in backend access logs
- Profile modification events that do not correlate with a corresponding authenticated user session on a registered device
- Presence of the vulnerable APK build 4.5.15.4 on managed mobile endpoints
Detection Strategies
- Inventory mobile device management (MDM) data to identify installations of Mira Android APK at or below version 4.5.15.4
- Inspect backend authentication logs for repeated use of the same credential set across geographically dispersed IP addresses
- Baseline normal per-account API request rates and alert on statistical outliers indicative of automated enumeration
Monitoring Recommendations
- Forward mobile application telemetry and backend API logs to a central SIEM for correlation
- Alert on read or write operations against reproductive health profile records issued from server-hosted IP ranges rather than mobile carriers
- Monitor threat intelligence feeds for public disclosure of the extracted credential material
How to Mitigate CVE-2026-67568
Immediate Actions Required
- Restrict or block network access from managed devices to the vulnerable Mira backend until the vendor issues a fix
- Advise users of the Mira Android APK to avoid entering sensitive data into version 4.5.15.4
- Review backend access logs for evidence of unauthorized profile access or modification
- Coordinate with the vendor and CISA for updated remediation guidance referenced in ICSMA-26-223-01
Patch Information
No vendor patch reference is listed in the NVD entry at time of publication. Consult the CISA Medical Advisory and the vendor's official channels for updated firmware or application releases that remove the hard-coded credential and enforce per-user authentication.
Workarounds
- Uninstall Mira Android APK version 4.5.15.4 from managed devices where feasible
- Apply network egress filtering to prevent the vulnerable client from reaching the affected backend from enterprise networks
- Enable multi-factor authentication on any linked account services that support it
- Rotate any user-supplied secrets (such as account passwords) that may have been transmitted through the affected client
