Impact

While CVSS and EPSS scores are not provided, the real-world risk is substantial based on available signals. The attack vector is network-based and requires authentication (reducing immediate risk from anonymous attackers), but the authorization bypass means that any authenticated Sentry user can exploit this vulnerability with low complexity. The information disclosure impact is significant in a security monitoring tool context—error events often contain sensitive data including stack traces, environment variables, database connection strings, API keys, and personally identifiable information from user sessions. The vulnerability is not listed as actively exploited in KEV, but a proof-of-concept is publicly available via the GitHub Security Lab advisory, substantially lowering the barrier to exploitation. Organizations using Sentry for production error tracking face moderate-to-high risk depending on the sensitivity of data captured in their error events. The fact that this affects cross-organization access (not just elevation within a single organization) elevates severity, as it could impact multi-tenant SaaS deployments serving numerous customers.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with legitimate access to Sentry in Organization A discovers that the GroupEventJsonView endpoint does not validate organization membership for group IDs. The attacker enumerates group IDs from Organization B (either through directory listing, timing attacks, or prior reconnaissance) and directly requests the JSON view of those groups using URLs like /api/0/groups/{org-b-group-id}/events/{event-id}/json/. Since the endpoint fails to verify that the authenticated user belongs to Organization B, the request succeeds and returns sensitive event data including stack traces, environment variables, and potentially hardcoded credentials. A proof-of-concept demonstrating this attack vector is available in the GitHub Security Lab advisory, enabling rapid weaponization by threat actors with Sentry access.

AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 18, 2026

An Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability exists in Sentry versions prior to 26.1.0 within the GroupEventJsonView endpoint, allowing attackers to access event data across different organizations without proper authorization checks. This information disclosure vulnerability enables cross-organization data leakage where an authenticated attacker with access to one organization can enumerate and retrieve sensitive error tracking and performance monitoring data belonging to other organizations. The vulnerability has been patched in version 26.1.0, and a proof-of-concept is available via the referenced GitHub Security Lab advisory.

RemediationAI

Immediately upgrade Sentry to version 26.1.0 or later, which includes the authorization bypass fix. Organizations unable to patch immediately should restrict network access to Sentry instances to trusted IP ranges and networks, enforce strong authentication mechanisms (multi-factor authentication), and monitor access logs for suspicious cross-organization data access patterns such as requests to GroupEventJsonView endpoints with group IDs from other organizations. Consider implementing Web Application Firewall rules to detect and block suspicious object reference manipulation attempts. Review audit logs for evidence of unauthorized access to events from other organizations during the vulnerability window. The patch is available at https://github.com/getsentry/sentry/pull/105601.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key), a class of flaws where object identifiers used in direct object references are not properly validated against the requester's authorization context. Sentry's GroupEventJsonView endpoint, which serves JSON representations of grouped error events, fails to enforce cross-organization access controls. An attacker who is authenticated to Sentry in one organization context can manipulate direct object references (such as group IDs or event IDs) to access data from other organizations by crafting requests to the GroupEventJsonView endpoint without triggering authorization validation. This is particularly dangerous in Sentry's multi-tenant architecture where organizations are logically isolated but data access controls are inadequately enforced at the endpoint level.

DescriptionGitHub Advisory

Sentry is a developer-first error tracking and performance monitoring tool. Versions prior to 26.1.0 have a cross-organization Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability in Sentry's GroupEventJsonView endpoint. Version 26.1.0 patches the issue.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Organizations using Sentry should be aware of notable risk from CVE-2026-26004, a IDOR vulnerability rated CVSS 6.5. Exploitation could compromise the security of affected deployments. Organizations should apply vendor updates when available and monitor for exploitation.

Business Impact: Moderate
Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch. If patching is delayed: restrict network access and enable monitoring.
