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.

alf.io is an open source ticket reservation system for conferences, trade shows, workshops, and meetups. Prior to version 2.0-M5-2606, the alf.io extension sandbox injects a fully-functional HTTP client (`simpleHttpClient`) into every extension script's scope. The `postFileAndSaveResponse()` method accepts an arbitrary filesystem path as its `file` parameter and reads the file contents using `new FileInputStream(file)` with no path validation, directory restriction, or allowlist. A malicious extension script can read any file accessible to the JVM process user and exfiltrate it to an attacker-controlled server via HTTP POST. Version 2.0-M5-2606 patches the issue.

alf.io is an open source ticket reservation system for conferences, trade shows, workshops, and meetups. Prior to version 2.0-M5-2606, a sandbox escape vulnerability in the alf.io extension script engine allows an authenticated administrator to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the server. The extension system is intended to execute restricted JavaScript in a sandboxed Rhino environment; however, a combination of an unguarded injected Java object (`returnClass`) and an incomplete AST blocklist allows the sandbox to be fully escaped using Java reflection without triggering any validation errors. Version 2.0-M5-2606 patches the issue.
