Description
Blinko through 1.8.8 contains an insecure direct object reference vulnerability in the tag tRPC router that allows authenticated users to read and modify other users' tags by supplying arbitrary tag IDs. Attackers can enumerate sequential IDs via fullTagNameById, updateTagIcon, and updateTagOrder to reveal private note topics and tamper with tag icons and ordering.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is an insecure direct object reference in Blinko's tRPC router. An authenticated attacker can supply arbitrary tag IDs to read and modify tags belonging to other users. The ability to enumerate IDs via endpoints such as fullTagNameById, updateTagIcon, and updateTagOrder can expose private note topics and allow tampering with tag icons and ordering. According to the CWE mapping, this is a classic IDOR flaw, which leads to data exposure and integrity compromise.

Affected Systems

Blinkospace BlinkO version 1.8.8 on all platforms, as identified by the CNA.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates a moderate severity, and the vulnerability requires the attacker to be an authenticated user. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, suggesting limited known exploitation events. Inferred attack path: an attacker authenticates with valid credentials, then manipulates the tag ID parameters to access or modify other users' tags. The lack of input validation allows sequential enumeration and abuse of the aforementioned endpoints.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the vendor patch from pull request #1171 or upgrade to a release that contains the fix.
  • Restrict tag management endpoints so that only the tag owner or authorized administrators can perform read or write operations.
  • Employ rate limiting or input validation on the tag ID parameters to prevent enumeration of arbitrary tags.
