GHSA-564F-WX8X-878H
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-20 17:25 – Updated: 2026-03-20 17:25Summary
The DELETE /api/v1/projects/:project/background endpoint checks CanRead permission instead of CanUpdate, allowing any user with read-only access to a project to permanently delete its background image.
Details
The RemoveProjectBackground handler (pkg/modules/background/handler/background.go) reuses checkProjectBackgroundRights, a helper originally written for the read-only GetProjectBackground endpoint. This helper only verifies CanRead permission. In contrast, the handler for setting a background (setBackgroundPreparations) correctly checks CanUpdate.
As a result, destructive write operations (deleting the background file from storage and clearing the project's background_file_id and background_blur_hash fields) are gated behind a read-only permission check.
Impact
A user with read-only access to a project — via direct sharing, team membership, link share tokens with read permission, or read-scoped API tokens — can permanently delete the project's background image. The background file is removed from storage and cannot be recovered. This constitutes unauthorized data destruction.
Reproduction
- User A creates a project and sets a background image.
- User A shares the project with User B with read-only permission.
- User B sends:
DELETE /api/v1/projects/{project_id}/backgroundwith a valid auth token. - The request succeeds. The background image is permanently deleted.

Workflow templates endpoints allow any client to retrieve WorkflowTemplates (and ClusterWorkflowTemplates). Any request with a Authorization: Bearer nothing token can leak sensitive template content, including embedded Secret manifests.

Mitigation
- Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
- Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].
Mitigation MIT-4.4
Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
- For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
- For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
- One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
