Summary

Budibase: Server Filesystem Existence/Read Oracle via Builder-Controlled MongoDB tlsCertificateKeyFile

Details

Summary

When creating a MongoDB datasource, Budibase passes the tlsCertificateKeyFile and tlsCAFile fields straight to the MongoDB driver as server-side file paths. On Budibase Cloud a customer cannot place files on the server, so these fields only let a builder reference arbitrary absolute paths on the underlying multi-tenant server. When the datasource is verified, the driver performs a real filesystem read of that path, and the error differs by file state, turning /api/datasources/verify into an arbitrary-path existence/read oracle over the whole server filesystem.

Root Cause

packages/server/src/integrations/mongodb.ts passes config.tlsCertificateKeyFile / config.tlsCAFile directly to new MongoClient(config.connectionString, options) as filesystem paths, with no allow-list, no confinement to a certificates directory, and no rejection of absolute / .. paths.

POC

Reproduction — paste each line, press Enter

Line 1 (existing file — proves the file is READ):

RESPONSE

{"connected":false,"error":"error:0480006C:PEM routines::no start line"}

Line 2 (missing file — path is reflected):

RESPONSE

{"connected":false,"error":"ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/nonexistent/pentest/xyz'"}

Actual output

/etc/passwd               -> {"connected":false,"error":"error:0480006C:PEM routines::no start line"}          (EXISTS, was READ)
/nonexistent/pentest/xyz  -> {"connected":false,"error":"ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/nonexistent/pentest/xyz'"}   (MISSING, path reflected)

Existing files return a "PEM routines" error (the file was read but is not PEM); missing files return ENOENT ... open '<path>' with the path echoed back. This confirms a real filesystem read at the attacker-chosen absolute path. Confirmed 3/3 separate runs.

Impact

Who / what is affected	How
The underlying multi-tenant Cloud server	Arbitrary-path existence/read oracle from a builder account
Server config / secret files, other tenants' paths	Located by enumerating paths (exists vs missing)
PEM/certificate files on the server	Content exfiltratable via mutual-TLS to an attacker MongoDB server (mechanism)

Recommended Fix

On managed/Cloud, disallow tlsCertificateKeyFile / tlsCAFile as filesystem paths; accept PEM content and write it to a per-connection temp file under a fixed directory.
Reject absolute and .. paths; confine any file reference to an allow-listed certificates directory.
Route the MongoDB connection host through the SSRF blacklist, as the REST integration already does.

Severity

7.0 (High)

CVE-2026-73409 (GCVE-0-2026-73409)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-08-12 19:19 – Updated: 2026-08-14 22:09

Title

Budibase: Server Filesystem Existence/Read Oracle via Builder-Controlled MongoDB tlsCertificateKeyFile

Summary

Budibase is an open-source low-code platform. Prior to 3.40.1, packages/server/src/integrations/mongodb.ts passed builder-controlled tlsCertificateKeyFile and tlsCAFile values directly to MongoClient on Budibase Cloud. A builder could submit absolute server paths through /api/datasources/verify and distinguish readable existing files from missing files by comparing the driver error, exposing a filesystem existence and readability oracle on the shared server. This issue is fixed in version 3.40.1.

Severity

5.1 (Medium)

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
