Description
ToolJet Database versions before v3.16.44 contain a privilege escalation vulnerability in the join_tables endpoint that grants JOIN_TABLES ability to all authenticated users without role or workspace membership validation. Attackers can read arbitrary ToolJet Database tables from any workspace by supplying victim workspace identifiers in the request path while authenticating with their own workspace credentials.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability arises in the join_tables endpoint of ToolJet Database versions before 3.16.44, allowing any authenticated user to perform JOIN_TABLES operations without checking the user's role or workspace membership. This capability enables the user to read arbitrary tables in any workspace simply by providing the victim workspace identifier in the request path. Consequently, the attacker can gain unauthorized access to sensitive data across workspaces, breaching confidentiality and potentially impacting data integrity.

Affected Systems

ToolJet, ToolJet Database versions earlier than 3.16.44 are affected. Users running those versions are susceptible to the privilege escalation described.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.2 classifies this as a high‑severity issue. EPSS data is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog. Inferred from the description, the attack vector requires the attacker to be an authenticated user; there is no mention of remote code execution or denial of service. An attacker with valid credentials could exploit join_tables to read tables from any workspace, meaning the attack path is straightforward for users who already have access to the system.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update to ToolJet v3.16.44 or later, which removes the validation flaw in the join_tables endpoint.
  • Configure the application so that JOIN_TABLES operations perform proper role and workspace membership checks before executing the request.
  • Audit authentication logs to detect and investigate any JOIN_TABLES requests from accounts that should not have access to target workspaces.
