Exploitation Conditions

Requires a valid authenticated session on the target MrDoc instance (CVSS PR:L); it is not remote-unauthenticated. The attacker sends a POST to the get_doctemp view supplying the doctemp_id parameter, which in MrDoc through 1.1.1 was resolved with DocTemp.objects.get(id=...) without a create_user ownership check, so any logged-in user can read any template. Sequential integer doctemp_id values make full enumeration of all users' templates trivial, and no user interaction is needed (UI:N). Limiting factors: an account is required, so exposure scales with whether the instance permits open self-registration versus admin-provisioned accounts; impact is confined to reading template content (no modification or deletion), affecting confidentiality only.

Impact

Signals are consistent and point to a moderate, not urgent, issue. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) and the 5.3 medium score agree with the description: exploitation is network-based and low-complexity but requires an authenticated account (PR:L), and the only impact is confidentiality of document-template content (VC:L, with VI/VA:N). The vuln.today Decision label is 'this_month' - a scheduled-patch priority, not act_now or emergency. This is not in CISA KEV (no confirmed active exploitation) and no EPSS score was provided, so widespread-exploitation probability cannot be quantified from the input. A public technical write-up (hackmd) and a VulnCheck advisory exist and the fix commit is public, which makes the flaw easy to understand and reproduce, but the input does not mark any PoC as confirmed working exploit code. Net: a genuine broken-object-level-authorization (IDOR) bug worth patching this cycle, but the authentication requirement and confidentiality-only, limited-scope impact keep it below high-priority emergency handling. Missing data to note explicitly: no EPSS score and no KEV entry were supplied, so real-world exploitation volume is unknown.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who holds any valid account on a MrDoc instance (including a self-registered one, where registration is open) sends POST requests to the get_doctemp view, incrementing the sequential doctemp_id parameter. Because the view fetched the template by id alone without verifying ownership, each request returns another user's private template content, letting the attacker harvest every template on the instance. A public write-up describing the flaw exists; it is not verified as working exploit code.

AnalysisAIv1 – Nov 02, 2026

MrDoc through 1.1.1 allows any authenticated user to read other users' private document templates by submitting sequential doctemp_id values to the get_doctemp view, whose database lookup lacks an owner constraint. The flaw is a CWE-639 object-level authorization bypass affecting confidentiality only (CVSS 4.0 score 5.3, PR:L); template contents can be read but not modified or deleted. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, and an upstream vendor fix commit is available.

RemediationAI

Apply the upstream fix in commit ec93679499fb6ea88ce868ffc9169fe025917095, which adds create_user=request.user to the DocTemp lookup in app_doc/views.py; update to a release containing this commit, as a released patched version is not independently confirmed in the available data (upstream fix available via commit; vendor advisory: https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/mrdoc-through-1.1.1-missing-authorization-via-get-doctemp-template-read). If immediate upgrade is not possible, reduce exposure by restricting account provisioning and disabling open self-registration where feasible, since exploitation requires an authenticated session and the issue is limited to instances with multiple user accounts; this lowers attack surface but does not remediate the missing owner check and may block legitimate onboarding. No configuration toggle or endpoint-level workaround is documented in the available sources.

Technical ContextAI · show details

MrDoc is a Python/Django-based document management system. The affected endpoint is the get_doctemp view in app_doc/views.py (referenced at v1.1.1 lines 1983-1996). In affected versions, the view resolved a user-supplied doctemp_id with DocTemp.objects.get(id=int(doctemp_id)) and returned serializable_value('content') without constraining the record to the requesting user. This is an object-level authorization failure (CWE-639, authorization bypass through user-controlled key, commonly known as IDOR): the object identifier is an integer primary key and is sequential, making enumeration of other users' templates straightforward. The upstream commit ec93679499fb6ea88ce868ffc9169fe025917095 changes the query to DocTemp.objects.get(id=int(doctemp_id), create_user=request.user), scoping access to templates owned by the authenticated requester. The assessed impact is confidentiality-only (read), with no integrity or availability effect; authentication (PR:L) is required.

DescriptionCVE.org

MrDoc through 1.1.1 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in the get_doctemp view that allows authenticated users to read other users' document templates. Attackers can enumerate the sequential doctemp_id POST parameter to retrieve the private template content of every user on the instance.
