Description
Affected versions of Flowintel expose the /my_assignment/user API endpoint to any authenticated API user. The endpoint accepts a user_id parameter identifying the user whose assignments should be returned, but previously had no role restriction beyond general API authentication.


As a result, a lower-privileged authenticated user could potentially query another user’s assignment information by supplying that user’s identifier.


The fix changes:


method_decorators = [api_required]


to:


method_decorators = [admin_or_org_admin_required, api_required]

so only administrators or organization administrators can perform cross-user assignment queries.

Version impacted =>3.3.0
Published: 2026-08-27
Score: 5.3 Medium
EPSS: < 1% Very Low
KEV: No
Impact: Unauthorized disclosure of user assignment data
Action: Immediate Patch
AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability lies in the /my_assignment/user endpoint of Flowintel. The API accepts a user_id argument but enforces only general authentication, not role checks. Consequently, any authenticated user can retrieve assignment records belonging to any other user by specifying that user's identifier. The exposed data contains task scheduling and assignment details that were intended to be viewable only by administrators or organization administrators. This unauthorized disclosure results in a loss of confidentiality for user assignments.

Affected Systems

The affected product is Flowintel Flowintel, specifically version 3.3.0. No other versions or products are mentioned in the advisory.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates moderate severity, and the EPSS score is not available. Because the attack requires only authenticated API access and no further privileges, the vulnerability can be exploited over the network by any legitimate user who supplies a target user_id. The risk is confined to the confidentiality of assignment data, with no impact on system integrity or availability.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the vendor‑supplied patch that updates the endpoint’s decorators to require admin_or_org_admin_required in addition to api_required.
  • Reinforce role‑based access control on the /my_assignment/user endpoint so that only administrators or organization administrators can supply a user_id parameter and retrieve another user’s assignments.
  • Monitor API usage logs for unexpected invocations of /my_assignment/user from non‑privileged accounts to detect misuse early.
