Description
Budibase versions 3.41.0 before 3.45.0 contain an authentication bypass in the OIDC/SSO login path of @budibase/server. In sso.authenticate, when no existing user matches the incoming SSO subject, the server looks up pending user invites by the IdP-asserted email address alone — without validating an invite code and without an email_verified check (the email_verified gate protects only the existing-account lookup). An attacker who can register at an IdP that the tenant trusts for OIDC and assert a victim's invited email address (even with email_verified=false) claims the pending invite and inherits all of its granted privileges, including builder and admin.global, with no admin exclusion. This results in takeover of the invited principal and, for admin invites, full tenant compromise (access to all apps, datasources including production credentials, and automations); the invite is consumed, denying onboarding to the legitimate invitee.

AI Analysis

Impact

Budibase Server prior to 3.45.0 is vulnerable to an authentication bypass that occurs during the OIDC Single Sign‑On (SSO) login path. When a new user attempts to authenticate and no existing account is found that matches the incoming SSO subject, the server looks up pending invites by the IdP‑provided email address without validating an invite code or checking that the email was verified. An attacker who can register at an IdP trusted by the tenant and supply a victim’s invited email address—regardless of the email_verified flag—can claim the pending invitation, inherit all of its granted permissions, and switch into the invited principal’s account. For admins, this provides full tenant compromise, exposing all applications, data sources and automation settings.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects Budibase Server, versions 3.41.0 up to but not including 3.45.0. Tenants running any of these releases are susceptible if OIDC/SSO authentication is enabled.

Risk and Exploitability

The flaw carries a CVSS score of 9.2, indicating a critical risk. EPSS is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the attack requires only that the victim's email be listed on a pending invite and that the attacker has access to an IdP that the tenant accepts for OIDC. The attack vector is thus a forged OIDC assertion from a trusted IdP, which can be performed remotely by creating a malicious account on that IdP. Once the invite is claimed, the attacker gains whatever privileges were granted to the original invitee, potentially full administrative control over the entire tenant.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Budibase Server to version 3.45.0 or later to address the OIDC authentication bypass
  • Revoke pending invites that may have been claimed and audit the tenant's user list for unauthorized escapes
  • Restrict trusted IdPs to those you control and enforce email verification or invite code checks for OIDC logins
  • Consider disabling SSO/OIDC authentication temporarily if an immediate upgrade is not possible
