Upgrade alf.io to version 2.0-M5-2606 or later, where this improper access control issue is fixed. No other mitigation is indicated by the vendor advisory.
Description
CVE-2026-50165 is an improper access control vulnerability in alf.io, an open source ticket reservation system. Versions prior to 2.0-M5-2606 allow organization owners to access system-level configuration secrets via certain configuration endpoints. These endpoints accept arbitrary configuration keys and return values that may include administrator-only secrets such as the system API key. The issue is fixed in version 2.0-M5-2606.
Impact
An attacker with organization owner privileges can access sensitive system-level configuration secrets, including the system API key. This could lead to unauthorized access to administrative functions or sensitive data within the system. The vulnerability elevates the risk associated with compromised or malicious organization owner accounts.
