Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires a victim who is already authenticated to the target Tuleap instance and holds permissions to modify tracker field dependencies, and who must be tricked into visiting an attacker-controlled page while that session is active (UI:R). The vulnerable surface is specifically the tracker field-dependencies feature, which lacked anti-CSRF token validation in Tuleap Community Edition before 17.0.99.1763803709 and Enterprise before 17.0-4 and 16.13-9. Limiting factors: no attacker authentication is needed but the attack fails without an authenticated, sufficiently-privileged victim and without that victim interacting with the malicious content; impact is confined to tracker field modification (integrity), with no data disclosure or service disruption.

Impact

This is a genuinely low-priority, low-severity issue despite being network-exploitable. The CVSS 3.1 vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N, base 4.3) reflects a classic CSRF (CWE-352): network reachable and low-complexity, but it requires user interaction (UI:R) and yields only limited integrity impact (I:L) with no confidentiality or availability impact. The PR:N applies to the attacker, but exploitation depends on an already-authenticated victim, which is the normal CSRF model. All signals align on low real-world risk: EPSS is 0.16% (5th percentile), there is no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit code is referenced in the input. No SSVC decision data was provided. The signals are consistent with one another - low exploitation probability, no active exploitation, modest impact - so this reads as a legitimate but low-urgency hardening fix rather than an emergency. Patch application during normal maintenance is appropriate.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker crafts a malicious web page containing a forged request to a Tuleap tracker's field-dependency endpoint and lures an authenticated Tuleap user into visiting it. Because the tracker field-dependency function lacks CSRF protection, the victim's browser silently submits the request using their active session, modifying tracker field configurations without consent. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, but CSRF of this kind is trivial to construct.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 07, 2026

Missing anti-CSRF protections in Tuleap's tracker field-dependencies feature allow an unauthenticated, network-positioned attacker to modify tracker field configuration by luring an already-authenticated, sufficiently-privileged user into visiting a malicious page while their session is active. Only Tuleap Community Edition before 17.0.99.1763803709 and Enterprise Edition before 17.0-4 and 16.13-9 are affected, and the impact is limited to integrity of tracker fields with no confidentiality or availability loss. There is no confirmed active exploitation (no CISA KEV listing) and no public exploit code identified at time of analysis; EPSS is 0.16% (5th percentile), consistent with a genuinely low-priority issue.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to a fixed release: Tuleap Community Edition 17.0.99.1763803709, or Tuleap Enterprise Edition 17.0-4 or 16.13-9 - vendor-released patches are available, and the fix is the referenced upstream commit https://github.com/Enalean/tuleap/commit/26678c5b411042e68964b199bf88a44607550633 (also mirrored at https://tuleap.net/plugins/git/tuleap/tuleap/stable?a=commit&h=26678c5b411042e68964b199bf88a44607550633). Because the attack depends on a privileged, authenticated victim being tricked into a cross-site request, interim mitigations include restricting write access to tracker field dependencies to a small trusted group (reduces the pool of viable victims at the cost of administrator workload), and deploying browser-side protections such as SameSite=Strict or Lax session cookies plus HTTP Referer/Origin checking at the reverse proxy for state-changing tracker endpoints (may break legitimate cross-origin embeds or API workflows and needs testing). Note that blocking network access is not viable here since Tuleap is intended to be reachable by authenticated users.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The root cause is CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery): the tracker field-dependencies functionality within Tuleap's tracker module did not validate an anti-CSRF token on state-changing requests, so a browser session cookie alone was sufficient to authorize a crafted request. Tuleap (Enalean) is a self-hosted application lifecycle management suite covering trackers, agile planning, Git, and CI, and tracker field dependencies are a configuration construct that governs how field values constrain one another. Affected CPE identifiers are enalean:tuleap with the enterprise and community edition flags, spanning the pre-fix release streams. The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N indicates the attacker needs no privileges of their own, but the attack only succeeds if a victim with an active authenticated session and permission to edit tracker field dependencies is induced to load the attacker's content; scope is unchanged and the only impacted property is integrity.

DescriptionNVD

Tuleap is a free and open source suite for management of software development and collaboration. Versions of Tuleap Community Edition prior to 17.0.99.1763803709 and Tuleap Enterprise Edition versions prior to 17.0-4 and 16.13-9 are mission CSRF protections in its tracker field dependencies, allowing attackers to modify tracker fields. This issue is fixed in Tuleap Community Edition version 17.0.99.1763803709 and Tuleap Enterprise Edition versions 17.0-4 and 16.13-9.
