Description
Warracker before 1.0.4 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in its Paperless-ngx integration that allows an authenticated, non-administrative user to bypass document ownership restrictions by searching for and linking another user's private document ID to a warranty they own using the `other` document type. Attackers can exploit insufficient authorization checks in the `paperless_search_and_link()` and `serve_paperless_document()` route handlers in file_routes.py to retrieve and disclose private documents belonging to another user via the shared Paperless-ngx API credential, resulting in unauthorized read access and confidentiality loss.

AI Analysis

Impact

Warracker before 1.0.4 contains a missing authorization flaw in its Paperless‑ngx integration that allows an authenticated non‑administrative user to bypass document ownership restrictions. The vulnerability resides in the paperless_search_and_link() and serve_paperless_document() route handlers, which let a user search for another user's private document ID and link it to a warranty they own using the `other` document type. As a result the user can read documents that belong to others, causing a confidentiality loss.

Affected Systems

The affected product is Warracker from the vendor sassanix. All releases prior to version 1.0.4 are impacted; users running 1.0.3 or earlier should upgrade promptly.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6 reflects moderate severity. The EPSS score is not available, so the likelihood of exploitation cannot be assessed quantitatively, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. An attacker only needs an authenticated non‑administrator account and the shared Paperless‑ngx API credentials used by the application; by calling the exposed routes the attacker can locate and retrieve private documents belonging to other users.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Warracker to version 1.0.4 or later to remove the authorization check flaw.

  • Configure the application to disallow or limit the use of the "other" document type for linking private documents.
