Description
OpenPanel fails to enforce read-only project access level on 26 of 29 mutating procedures, allowing read-level members to modify, delete, and publish project data. Attackers with explicit read-only access can delete reports and dashboards, schedule entire projects for deletion, publish private analytics to public share links, and modify alerting rules by exploiting missing access level validation in mutation resolvers.

AI Analysis

Impact

OpenPanel’s access control mechanism fails to enforce the read‑only project access level on 26 of 29 mutation procedures. This authorization flaw, identified as CWE‑269, lets users who are only entitled to read privileges change, delete, or publish project data, thereby compromising data integrity and confidentiality.

Affected Systems

The affected product is OpenPanel from Openpanel‑dev. All installations that have not yet applied the vendor’s remediation are vulnerable; specific version information is not listed in the advisory.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.2 places this vulnerability in the high severity range. An attacker requires only legitimate read‑only access to an account to abuse the bug, typically through a mutation resolver exposed by the application. No privilege escalation is needed. The EPSS score is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, but the potential for data loss and accidental disclosure warrants immediate attention.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Check the Openpanel‑dev website or GitHub advisory for a vendor‑supplied update that re‑enforces access‑level validation in mutation resolvers
  • If a patch is not yet released, restrict mutation endpoints to privileged users by configuring firewall or reverse‑proxy rules to block read‑only access
  • Monitor mutation activity logs for unexpected write operations and investigate any deviations from expected behavior
