Description
APITable through 1.13.0-beta.1 contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability in NodePermissionGuard that fails to enforce node-level access control when permission lookups throw exceptions. Attackers with valid Fusion API tokens can write attachments to private datasheets they have been explicitly denied access to by exploiting the unhandled exception in the permission guard.

AI Analysis

Impact

APITable versions up to 1.13.0-beta.1 contain a fault in the NodePermissionGuard that fails to enforce node-level access control when permission lookups raise exceptions; this allows an authenticated attacker to write attachments to datasheets they are explicitly denied from accessing, effectively bypassing authorization. The vulnerability is an instance of improper validation of authority control, enabling unauthorized data modification.

Affected Systems

Vendors affected are APITable (apitable:apitable). The product is the APITable Fusion API, and the affected releases are all builds through the 1.13.0-beta.1 release. No specific patch version is listed, but security updates addressing the guard issue have been applied in subsequent releases.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 classifies the flaw as a moderate severity vulnerability. EPSS data is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting limited known exploitation. The vulnerability can be exploited by an attacker who already possesses a valid Fusion API token; the exploit relies on inducing a permission lookup exception to trigger a fail‑open state in the guard, thereby allowing the attacker to write attachments to private datasheets they have no right to access.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade APITable to a version beyond 1.13.0-beta.1 that contains a fixed NodePermissionGuard implementation.
  • Restrict the issuance and use of Fusion API tokens to authorized users only and enforce the principle of least privilege for each token.
  • Monitor Fusion API logs for unexpected attachment write attempts to private datasheets and investigate any suspicious activity.
