Description
Coop is an open source review and moderation tool from ROOST. Prior to 1.0.0, the `GraphQL` `Mutation.createOrg` operation allows an unauthenticated actor to create arbitrary organizations on a publicly accessible instance. In addition to creating noise in the logs, the lack of rate limiting could potentially lead to database exhaustion. Running the service on an authenticated private network prevents outside actors from directly querying the `GraphQL` API. This issue is fixed in version 1.0.0.

AI Analysis

Impact

The GraphQL Mutation.createOrg operation in Coop, prior to version 1.0.0, allows any actor to create arbitrary organizations on a publicly accessible instance without authentication. This flaw can be exploited to create noise in logs and, because rate limiting is absent, may lead to database exhaustion. The vulnerability is a classic example of unchecked permissions (CWE‑306) and can also cause excessive resource consumption (CWE‑799).

Affected Systems

The affected product is Coop by Roostorg, specifically all versions released before 1.0.0. Users running any pre‑1.0.0 build over a public network are susceptible.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates a moderate level of severity. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, suggesting it may not be actively exploited at large scale yet. The attack vector is network‑based, targeting the public GraphQL API endpoint. An attacker can simply send a mutation request to create an organization, potentially consuming database resources and causing denial of service by overwhelming the system. As there is no authentication required, the exploit can be performed from any external network that can reach the public API.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Coop to version 1.0.0 or later to apply the vendor fix
  • If upgrading is delayed, restrict access to the GraphQL API by placing it behind network controls or a firewall so only authenticated, internal networks can reach it
  • Implement rate limiting or monitor resource usage on the backend to detect and mitigate excessive organization creation attempts
