Vulnerability in @budibase/server (CVE-2026-73303)
Summary
Vulnerability in @budibase/server (CVE-2026-73303). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Exploitable via POST /api/v2/email.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
POST /api/v2/email on the account portal (account.budibase.app) starts an email-change workflow using a client-supplied accountId that is not validated against the authenticated session. A logged-in attacker supplies a victim's accountId and an email address they control; the verification code is delivered to the attacker's address, and completing the workflow changes the victim's account email. The attacker then password-resets the victim's account through the controlled address and logs in — full account takeover with no victim interaction.
Vulnerability Details
The endpoint session-checks the currentEmail field (a mismatch returns 403), but it does not enforce body.accountId === session.accountId. The account-portal frontend only ever submits the logged-in user's own accountId, so in normal use the two always match — the server simply trusts the body value. An attacker who has a victim's accountId can point the workflow at the victim's account while passing their own currentEmail to clear the session check.
This is more powerful than a direct password reset: PUT /api/v2/auth/password {email} already exists and is gated only on knowing the victim's email, but the reset link is sent to the address on the account — the victim's inbox, which the attacker does not control. This IDOR moves the victim's email to an attacker-controlled inbox first, so the attacker receives the reset link and sets a password they know.
