CVE-2026-89017: Missing Auth (CVSS 7.5)

Description

Skyline DataMiner BrokerGateway contains an embedded API key vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to retrieve the installation-specific BrokerGateway key even while pairing mode is disabled.

Fixed in DataMiner 10.6.9 CU1, 10.6.0 CU7, 10.5.0 CU19, and 10.4.0 CU22.
