Description
RansomLook contains an authorization flaw in its legacy database export functionality that can allow unauthenticated remote users to retrieve information intended to remain private.

The /export/<database> endpoint permits selected internal databases to be exported without requiring authentication. While limited filtering is performed for some entity databases, other exportable databases are returned directly without consistently applying the application's private-entity access restrictions. As a result, information associated with groups, markets, posts, or other records marked as private may be included in an export accessible to an unauthenticated requester.

An attacker able to reach the RansomLook web application can request the affected export endpoint and retrieve data that should only be available to authorized users. Depending on the contents of the instance, this may disclose private ransomware intelligence, victim information, internal tracking data, or other information deliberately excluded from public views.

The patch removes the legacy unauthenticated export route and introduces centralized authorization handling that distinguishes ordinary authenticated API access from authorization to view private entries. API keys must now be explicitly granted private-data access, while existing keys do not automatically receive this privilege. The same private-data filtering is also applied consistently across API responses and database exports.

AI Analysis

Impact

RansomLook contains an authorization flaw that allows unauthenticated remote users to export selected internal databases through the /export/<database> endpoint. Some databases are filtered, but others expose records marked as private, including groups, markets, posts, and other sensitive data. This flaw is a classic example of inadequate access control (CWE‑862) leading to the disclosure of private ransomware intelligence, victim information, and internal tracking data.

Affected Systems

The vulnerable product is RansomLook from the vendor ransomlook. No specific affected versions are listed, so all current installations may be susceptible unless the legacy export route has been removed or disabled.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.2 indicates high severity, and because unauthenticated users can reach the web application, the vulnerability is remotely exploitable with no authentication required. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not yet listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is an unauthenticated HTTP request to the export endpoint, which may return private data from the instance. Impact is purely data exposure; no direct code execution or denial of service is implied.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the vendor patch that removes the legacy unauthenticated export route and introduces centralized authorization handling.
  • Configure API keys and grant private‑data access only to authorized users; existing keys should not receive this privilege by default.
  • If a patch is not immediately available, disable the legacy /export/<database> endpoint or restrict it to authenticated requests.
  • Monitor logs for attempted access to the export endpoint to detect potential exploitation attempts.
