Vulnerability in InvenTree (CVE-2026-35478)
Summary
Vulnerability in InvenTree (CVE-2026-35478). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Exploitable via POST /api/user/tokens/. Mitigation: upgrade to 1.2.7 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
InvenTree is an Open Source Inventory Management System. From 0.16.0 to before 1.2.7, any authenticated InvenTree user can create a valid API token attributed to any other user in the system — including administrators and superusers — by supplying the target's user ID in the user field of a POST /api/user/tokens/ request. The returned token is immediately usable for full API authentication as the target user, from any network location, with no further interaction required. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.2.7 and 1.3.0.

Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
A vulnerability (CWE-639) exists in InvenTree. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via POST /api/user/tokens/.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of InvenTree. Attack surface: POST /api/user/tokens/.
Severity: High (CVSS 8.3/10). Confidential information can be exposed externally.
Update to 1.2.7.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.

-
1Identify exposure identify
grep -r 'InvenTree' . | grep -v node_modulesリポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で
InvenTreeを grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。 -
2Hunt for indicators of compromise detect
grep 'POST /api/user/tokens/' /var/log/nginx/access.log | grep -E '(unusual_payload|sqli_pattern)'アクセスログで
POST /api/user/tokens/への異常なリクエスト (不正な認証ヘッダ・SQLメタ文字)を過去 30〜90日分捜索。WAF/SIEM があれば該当パスのアラート発火履歴を確認。 -
3Apply patch patch
Upgrade InvenTree to 1.2.7ステージング環境で 1.2.7 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスと、Step 2 で見つけた異常検知の続報チェックを含めること。
-
4Post-deployment verification verify
Replay attack against POST /api/user/tokens/ on staging to confirm patch closes the vectorパッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番では Step 2 と同じログクエリでアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
