VulnerabilityCVE-2026-42291cvecve-2026-42291cwe-639
Published: 05/08/2026 (05/08/2026, 21:57:51 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: Syslifters
Product: sysreptor

Description

SysReptor is a fully customizable pentest reporting platform. From version 2026.4 to before version 2026.27, the endpoints for reading and creating sharing links for personal notes is not properly authorized. This allows authenticated attackers who obtain the note ID of victim users to list and create sharing links to those users' personal notes. This gives attackers read and write access to notes of other users. This exploit works in both SysReptor Professional and Community. In Community it has, however, no impact because all users have superuser permissions and can list personal notes of other users at /admin/pentests/usernotebookpage/. This issue has been patched in version 2026.27.

Technical Analysis

Syslifters sysreptor, a pentest reporting platform, contains an authorization bypass vulnerability (CWE-639) in versions from 2026.4 to before 2026.27. The flaw exists in the endpoints handling sharing links for personal notes, where insufficient authorization checks allow authenticated users who obtain note IDs of other users to list and create sharing links for those notes. This effectively grants read and write access to other users' personal notes. The vulnerability affects both Professional and Community editions; however, the Community edition's default superuser permissions reduce the impact. The issue was fixed in version 2026.27.

Potential Impact

An authenticated attacker can bypass authorization controls to read and modify personal notes of other users by exploiting the sharing link endpoints. This compromises confidentiality and integrity of user notes. There is no indication of availability impact. The vulnerability is rated medium severity with a CVSS score of 6.8.

Mitigation Recommendations

This vulnerability has been patched in sysreptor version 2026.27. Users should upgrade to version 2026.27 or later to remediate the issue. No additional vendor advisory or temporary mitigations are provided. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor's versioning information.
