AI-suggested

Upgrade Joplin Server to version 3.7.2 or later, where this authentication bypass vulnerability is fixed. No additional mitigations are required once the server is updated.

Description

Joplin Server versions prior to 3.7.2 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability in the SSO login process. The UserModel.ssoLogin() method does not verify the is_external flag when matching accounts by IdP-asserted email. This allows an attacker with a valid IdP session to impersonate a local user and gain unauthorized access to that user's notes, files, and settings without knowing their password. The issue is resolved in version 3.7.2.
