DescriptionCVE.org

dataCycle is a data management system for centrally storing, managing, searching, finding, and distributing data. In dataCycle-CORE, the module handling core processing and framework rules, before and including version 25.07.3, anyone with a DataLink UUID can fetch the attached text file directly, even if the link is expired, the caller is unauthenticated, or the normal show flow would have denied access. Because the route is public and the mailer embeds the direct file URL, any leaked, forwarded, logged, or stale email link can continue to expose the attachment.

AnalysisAI

Broken authorization in dataCycle-CORE (versions up to and including 25.07.3) lets any remote, unauthenticated caller download a DataLink text attachment directly by supplying its DataLink UUID, bypassing expiration checks and the access controls enforced by the normal show flow. Because the file-serving route is public and dataCycle's mailer embeds the direct file URL, any leaked, forwarded, logged, or stale email link permanently exposes the attachment. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but SSVC rates the flaw automatable with partial technical impact.

Technical ContextAI

dataCycle is a Ruby-based (dataCycle-engine) data management platform used to centrally store, manage, search, and distribute data. The vulnerability lives in the DataLink feature, which generates shareable links (identified by a UUID) to attached files and delivers them via email through the mailer subsystem. The mailer embeds a direct file-serving URL rather than routing recipients through the guarded 'show' controller action. Per CWE-285 (Improper Authorization), the direct-download route performs the file lookup by UUID without re-applying the authorization and link-expiration checks that the show flow enforces, so possession of the UUID alone is sufficient to retrieve the file regardless of caller identity or link validity.

RemediationAI

Patch available per vendor advisory: upgrade dataCycle-CORE to a fixed release published after 25.07.3 as directed in GHSA-gj99-3h7x-v4rv (https://github.com/datacycle-engine/dataCycle-CORE/security/advisories/GHSA-gj99-3h7x-v4rv); the exact patched version is not stated in the available data and should be confirmed against the advisory before deployment. As compensating controls until patched, restrict or disable the public direct file-download route so attachment access is forced back through the guarded show flow that enforces expiration and authorization (side effect: legitimate email recipients may need to re-authenticate to reach files), rotate or invalidate existing DataLink UUIDs to render already-leaked links useless (side effect: previously shared links stop working), and place the file-serving endpoint behind authentication or an application gateway that revalidates link expiry. Additionally, audit mail logs and forwarding sinks that may have captured direct file URLs, since exposed links remain valid until the route is fixed.
