AI-suggested
Until an official fix is available, restrict read-only user permissions carefully and monitor for suspicious activity related to project modifications.
Description
OpenPanel through 2.3.0 fails to enforce read-only project access level on 26 of 29 mutating procedures, allowing read-level members to modify, delete, and publish project data. Attackers with explicit read-only access can delete reports and dashboards, schedule entire projects for deletion, publish private analytics to public share links, and modify alerting rules by exploiting missing access level validation in mutation resolvers.
Impact
Users with read-only access can perform unauthorized actions including deleting reports and dashboards, scheduling entire projects for deletion, publishing private analytics to public share links, and modifying alerting rules. This can lead to data loss, unauthorized data exposure, and disruption of project workflows.
Summary
OpenPanel versions up to and including 2.3.0 contain an improper privilege management vulnerability that fails to enforce read-only access restrictions on 26 out of 29 mutating procedures. As a result, users granted explicit read-only access can exploit this deficiency to modify, delete, and publish project data beyond their intended permissions. The vulnerability stems from missing validation checks in mutation resolvers that should restrict such actions to higher privilege levels.
