Information Disclosure in decidim-core (CVE-2026-45377)
Summary
Vulnerability in decidim-core (CVE-2026-45377). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Exploitable via download_your_data. Mitigation: upgrade to 0.32.0 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Description
The normal download_your_data flow requires the requester to be logged in as the export owner, but the resulting Active Storage blob redirect URL can be replayed without authentication by anyone who obtains it.
Technical description
This private export flow turns an authenticated, user-scoped download into a reusable bearer link because the protected Decidim endpoint redirects to the underlying Active Storage blob URL. Decidim::DownloadYourDataController#download_file correctly scopes the export record to current_user, so the wrapper route itself is not directly accessible to another user. However, once the owner
performs that authenticated GET request, the response redirects to a signed Active Storage URL that is no longer bound to the user session. Anyone who learns that URL can replay it and retrieve the file without being logged in as the export owner.
Because the blob redirect URL is delivered through a GET request and appears in the redirect chain, it is more likely to leak through browser history, logs, proxy tooling, screenshots, copied links, support transcripts, or other client-side handling of URLs.
Reproduction steps:
Step 1. Generate or locate a completed export in the Web UI.
- Sign in as
user@example.orgathttp://localhost:3001/users/sign_in. - Open
http://localhost:3001/download_your_data. - Request a new export from the page and wait until the export becomes downloadable.
- Open the completed export entry from the lis…
