Description
Trigger.dev before 4.5.12 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability that allows holders of capability-restricted user-actor tokens to create alert channels by using the legacy personal access token helper. Attackers with a read-only UAT can POST to the project alertChannels endpoint to create production webhook channels, routing future deployment and error alerts to attacker-controlled infrastructure.

AI Analysis

Impact

Trigger.dev before 4.5.12 contains an authorization bypass that lets holders of capability‑restricted user‑actor tokens create alert channels using the legacy personal access token helper. An attacker with a read‑only UAT can POST to the project alertChannels API to add production webhook channels, directing future deployment and error alerts to infrastructure they control. This allows the attacker to receive sensitive operational information and potentially exfiltrate or manipulate alert payloads.

Affected Systems

The affected product is Trigger.dev, version 4.5.12 or earlier. Only deployments utilizing Trigger.dev prior to the 4.5.12 release are impacted. Systems that use the legacy personal access token helper are also vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates a moderate severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1 % suggests a low probability of exploitation at this time. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers would need a valid capability‑restricted user‑actor token with read‑only access; with that token, they can send POST requests to the alertChannels endpoint to create unauthorized alert channels. The API gateway and network perimeter can thus be leveraged to inject malicious webhook endpoints.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Trigger.dev to version 4.5.12 or later to remove the authorization bypass.
  • Disable or restrict the legacy personal access token helper if it is not required, limiting its use to privileged accounts only.
  • Monitor and restrict access to the alertChannels endpoint, ensuring that only authorized users can create alert channels, and consider enforcing stricter API gateway rules or firewall policies to block unauthorized POST requests.
