Perforce P4 Search container images prior to 2026.4.2 reset the service authentication token to a publicly documented default value. An unauthenticated attacker with network access can obtain the highest application privilege, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution and compromise of the connected P4 Server.

Perforce P4 Search prior to 2026.4.2 does not restrict file paths written through its logging configuration interface. An attacker holding the service authentication token can write arbitrary files on the host, potentially leading to code execution as the P4 Search service account.

Perforce P4 Search container images prior to 2026.4.2 enable an unauthenticated Java debug interface. An attacker with network access to this interface can execute arbitrary code as the P4 Search service account, potentially leading to compromise of the connected P4 Server.

Perforce P4 Search prior to 2026.4.2 does not validate file names supplied to its extension installation feature. An attacker with super-user or service-token privileges can write files with arbitrary content to the P4 Search installation directory.

Perforce P4 Search prior to 2026.4.2 trusts a client-supplied address when validating certain authentication requests. An attacker holding a stolen P4 Server ticket can bypass host-based ticket restrictions and trusted-address controls, gaining access to P4 Search as the ticket's owner.

P4 Search prior to 2026.4.2 does not fail securely when its service authentication token is blank. In affected configurations, an unauthenticated attacker with network access can obtain the highest application privilege, potentially leading to compromise of P4 Search and the connected P4 Server.
