↑ 10%PoC exploit released for Cleo Harmony auth bypass CVE-2026-84115. A proof-of-concept exploit for Cleo Harmony auth bypass CVE-2026-84115 that manipulates JWT refresh tokens to escalate privileges has been published. Cleo patched the flaw in version 5.8.1.11. A proof-of-concept exploit has been published for a Cleo Harmony authentication bypass tracked as CVE-2026-84115. The flaw affects JWT refresh token handling in an endpoint under /api/connections. Cleo released a patch in version 5.8.1.11, and customers are advised to apply the update immediately. The vulnerability allows an attacker to alter bearer arguments in HTTP headers so the application bypasses access controls. An attacker can craft a payload that tampers with the arguments processed by the JWT refresh logic to elevate privileges or maintain persistent access. VulnDB described the exploitation technique as intercepting legitimate traffic or forging requests in which malformed or replayed bearer tokens bypass the refresh token logic. The database said attackers could replay or forge tokens to gain higher privileges and move laterally to systems integrated with the file transfer platform. WatchTowr reported it reproduced the flaw and urged rapid action. The firm noted the application is frequently targeted by ransomware groups and referenced a separate Cleo product that was exploited by the Cl0p group in late 2024 to steal data from large organizations. Cleo's advisory for release 5.8.1.11 did not include technical details about the defect. Because a proof-of-concept exploit is public, organizations running affected versions should update, monitor logs for signs of token tampering or replayed requests, and check for unexpected privilege changes. Cleo Harmony is a managed file transfer solution used by enterprises to automate and secure data exchange with partners and internal systems. Any flaw in authentication or authorization can affect workflows that move sensitive files.
Cleo updates Chargeback Prevention with AI, 3PL tools. The update offers AI-powered anomaly detection, conversational analytics, and expanded 3PL order visibility for retail suppliers. Kevin is the Managing Editor and Producer of Fleet Equipment Magazine. He joined Babcox Media in 2024, after a decade in TV news production. A frequent attendee of trade shows and industry events, Kevin is happy to talk trucks in person. Published: Aug 16, 2026 Cleo updated its Chargeback Prevention solution with AI-powered anomaly detection, conversational analytics, and expanded order visibility for third-party logistics operations. The Cleo Chargeback Prevention update is available through the company's Cleo Integration Cloud platform. It is designed to help retail suppliers identify fulfillment risks earlier and reduce chargebacks, fines, and deductions. AI flags supply chain anomalies. The updated anomaly detection capability continuously analyzes activity across Cleo Integration Cloud for unusual data patterns. Cleo said the system can identify changes in transaction volumes and other deviations that could lead to missed shipments, compliance penalties, or delayed payments. "One of the biggest risks in supply chain operations is the anomaly no one sees," said Mahesh Rajasekharan, president and CEO of Cleo. Anomaly detection is automatically enabled for eligible partner and document combinations and does not require configuration. Dynamic Insights adds conversational analytics. Cleo also introduced Dynamic Insights, which combines dashboards and drill-down analytics with a conversational AI interface. Users can ask natural-language questions about supply chain transactions and receive contextual responses without first requesting reports from IT or data analysts. Cleo said the capability is intended to give supply chain, operations, and finance teams faster access to information needed to investigate exceptions and make operational decisions. 3PL Order Intelligence extends visibility. The Cleo Chargeback Prevention update also extends the platform's live order view into third-party logistics and warehousing workflows. For companies using outsourced fulfillment, 3PL Order Intelligence provides visibility from the retailer purchase order through warehouse execution and final shipment. The capability is intended to improve coordination across businesses, logistics providers, systems, and document flows while helping suppliers monitor compliance throughout the order process. "The goal of Chargeback Prevention has always been to move businesses from reactive deductions management to proactive, AI-native orchestration," Rajasekharan said.
Cleo, a supply chain orchestration software company, has launched a Chargeback Prevention solution and Supply Chain Orchestration Console to help retail suppliers avoid penalties before they occur. The products were announced at Manifest 2026 in Las Vegas. The Chargeback Prevention solution, powered by Cleo Integration Cloud Orchestration Edition, enables suppliers to measure on-time adherence to trading partner service-level agreements, detect at-risk milestones and capture revenue impact. The platform provides proactive risk notifications and performance monitoring across retailers and carriers. The Supply Chain Orchestration Console offers comprehensive visibility and control, tracking critical supply chain metrics in real time and monitoring historical trends. Cleo serves over 4,000 middle-market and enterprise customers across transportation, logistics, distribution and manufacturing industries.
Cleo launches Supply Chain Orchestration Console and Chargeback Prevention solution to stop retail penalties before they start. * Business Wire * Feb 10, 2026 LAS VEGAS-(BUSINESS WIRE)-Feb 10, 2026- (from Manifest 2026) -Cleo, the global leader in supply chain orchestration solutions through its Cleo Integration Cloud (CIC) platform, today announced the launch of its new Chargeback Prevention solution alongside a new Supply Chain Orchestration Console, a breakthrough combination designed to help retail suppliers move from firefighting to proactive prevention. Cleo's new Supply Chain Orchestration Console Today, suppliers are forced to react after the damage is done - often billions of dollars in chargebacks incurred, deductions taken, invoices short-paid, disputes opened, and revenue lost. Cleo's newest supply chain orchestration solutions shift the industry from hindsight to foresight, helping retail suppliers prevent compliance failures before they become chargebacks, fees, and penalties. Suppliers must orchestrate flawlessly across systems, logistics providers, and customer trading partners. Late documents, disputed timestamps, and the ambiguity of "we sent it" versus "they got it," manifests as late shipments, congested distribution centers, disrupted inbound flow, stockouts, and replenishment failures. These breakdowns cost as low as $100 per violation, but routinely range as high as 5% of invoice value. Further, indirect costs such as reduced order volume, lost shelf space, expedited freight, and damaged relationships are orders of magnitude more impactful. Across the industry, these breakdowns cost suppliers billions. Cleo's Chargeback Prevention solution, powered by Cleo Integration Cloud (CIC) Orchestration Edition, introduces a new way to operate: Prevent deductions before they happen. Instead of discovering compliance failures after payment short-pays and chargebacks, suppliers can: * Measure on-time adherence to trading partner SLAs for orders, shipments, and invoices * Detect risk through at-risk milestones allowing for proactive actions * Capture revenue impact to inform decisions and drive continuous improvement Key capabilities include proactive risk notifications, continuous performance monitoring, comparative scorecards across retailers and carriers, and historical trend analysis tied directly to revenue impact. Complementing this launch, Cleo introduced its new Supply Chain Orchestration Console, giving customers complete performance visibility and control with the entire business in one field of view. The Console delivers a comprehensive system of control and coordination for the extended supply chain, bringing together execution intelligence across trading partners and operations. With dozens of critical supply chain metrics, businesses can track performance and SLA adherence in real time, monitor historical trends, quantify revenue at risk, and evaluate global KPIs through trading partner scorecards. By transforming lagging operational KPIs into proactive intelligence, Cleo enables organizations to eliminate fragmented portals, bolt-on spreadsheets, and disconnected scorecards, unlocking faster decisions, stronger partner relationships, and coordinated action across the network. "Supply chain orchestration is about real-time coordination and synchronization of processes, partners, and data that brings context directly into execution," said Mahesh Rajasekharan, President and CEO of Cleo. "Cleo Integration Cloud already acts as the nervous system of the global supply chain, connecting ecosystems at massive scale. With Cleo's Chargeback Prevention solution and the new orchestration Console, we're bridging the gap between what is happening, what will happen, and what to do next, empowering companies to stop business exceptions from becoming costly failures." With these launches, Cleo is redefining compliance, performance, and control for retail supply chains, turning chargeback prevention into a competitive margin advantage.
