CVE-2026-44736: CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in opf openproject
OpenProject is open-source, web-based project management software. Prior to 17.4.0, the GET /api/v3/relations endpoint allows any authenticated user to retrieve relations — and the subject (title) of work packages they have no permission to view — by supplying an arbitrary work package ID in the involved, fromId, or toId filter. This bypasses the Relation.visible scope due to a flawed performance optimization in RelationQuery. This vulnerability is fixed in 17.4.0.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-44736 is an information exposure vulnerability in OpenProject, an open-source project management tool. Before version 17.4.0, the API endpoint GET /api/v3/relations improperly allows authenticated users to retrieve relations and the subject titles of work packages without proper permission checks. This happens because the Relation.visible scope is bypassed due to a flawed performance optimization in RelationQuery. The vulnerability enables unauthorized disclosure of sensitive project information. The issue is resolved in OpenProject 17.4.0.
Potential Impact
An attacker with valid authentication can obtain the titles of work packages they are not authorized to view, potentially exposing sensitive project information. The vulnerability does not affect integrity or availability but results in unauthorized information disclosure.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade OpenProject to version 17.4.0 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. There is no indication of alternative mitigations or temporary workarounds. Patch status is confirmed fixed in 17.4.0.
