CVE-2026-8668: Progress Chef CHEF360

Low severity, CVSS 2.3. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

A static credential embedded in Chef 360 prior to v1.7.0 permitted unauthenticated access to internal message queues.  Queue messages contained tenant-specific identifiers.  The credential has been rotated and replaced with per-tenant access in subsequent versions, eliminating this access method entirely.
