CVE-2026-33214: CWE-862: Missing Authorization in WeblateOrg weblate
Weblate is a web based localization tool. In versions prior to 5.17, the translation memory API exposed unintended endpoints, which in turn didn't enforce proper access control. This issue has been fixed in version 5.17. If users are unable to update immediately, they can work around this issue by blocking access to /api/memory/ in the HTTP server, which removes access to this feature.

Technical Summary
CVE-2026-33214 is a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in Weblate's translation memory API affecting versions before 5.17.

The issue was resolved in version 5.17. No known exploits are reported in the wild. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3, indicating medium severity, with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and requiring privileges but no user interaction.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows unauthorized access to certain translation memory API endpoints, potentially leading to unauthorized modification of translation memory data. There is no impact on confidentiality or availability reported. The medium severity score reflects limited impact due to required privileges and lack of confidentiality or availability impact.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade Weblate to version 5.17 or later where the vulnerability is fixed. If immediate upgrade is not possible, block access to the /api/memory/ endpoint at the HTTP server level to prevent unauthorized access to the vulnerable API endpoints.
