Description
Docmost is open-source collaborative wiki and documentation software. Prior to 0.90.1, an authenticated workspace member who does not belong to a private space can call the transclusion / sync-block lookup API with a known sourcePageId and transclusionId pair because the lookup does not enforce private space membership before resolving the source page. The API can return confidential sync-block content and source page metadata even though the normal page APIs deny access to the same page. This issue is fixed in version 0.90.1.

AI Analysis

Impact

An authenticated workspace member who is not a member of a private workspace can invoke the transclusion / sync‑block lookup API with known identifiers. Because the lookup resolves the source page before checking private‑space membership, the API can expose confidential sync‑block content and page metadata that normal page APIs would deny. This omission of access control constitutes a confidentiality breach (CWE‑639 and CWE‑862).

Affected Systems

Docmost, the open‑source collaborative wiki platform. All releases older than 0.90.1 are impacted; the fix is present in 0.90.1 and newer.

Risk and Exploitability

The vendor CVSS score is 4.3, indicating low severity, and no EPSS value is available, so exploitation probability data is lacking. The vulnerability requires valid user credentials and a workspace membership, making it an insider‑or‑compromised‑account threat. Although not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, the potential to disclose private space content remains significant for confidentiality.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Docmost to version 0.90.1 or later to apply the vendor fix
  • Configure the transclusion / sync‑block lookup API to enforce private‑space membership before returning data, or add an explicit authorization guard
  • Audit request logs for abnormal transclusion lookups to detect unauthorized access attempts
