MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | OneUptime versions prior to 10.0.42 with unauthenticated access to /notification/ API endpoints via Nginx proxy. Attacker exploits missing ClusterKeyAuthorization.isAuthorizedServiceMiddleware. Requires projectId leaked from public Status Page API. No user interaction needed. Enables unauthorized Twilio account manipulation. |
| Impact | This vulnerability presents critical real-world risk despite high attack complexity rating (CVSS 4.0 AC:H). The CVSS vector shows network-reachable (AV:N), no privileges required (PR:N), and high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability (VC:H/VI:H/VA:H), yielding a 9.2 score. However, AC:H reflects the multi-step attack requiring both endpoint discovery and projectId enumeration from separate API surfaces. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and no CISA KEV listing, indicating exploitation not confirmed in the wild. The technical impact is severe for affected organizations: attackers can incur unexpected Twilio billing charges through phone number purchases and completely disable incident alerting by deleting configured notification numbers-a particularly damaging scenario for monitoring platforms where alert delivery is mission-critical. The attack is network-based and requires no user interaction (UI:N), making it scriptable once the projectId enumeration technique is understood. SSVC assessment indicates high technical impact (monitoring system compromise, financial fraud via API abuse) but exploitation status remains proof-of-concept level. Patch availability since version 10.0.42 (released per GitHub tag) significantly reduces risk for organizations following standard update cycles, though the open-source nature means internet-exposed instances may lag in patching. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker discovers OneUptime instances through internet scanning and accesses the public Status Page API to enumerate valid projectId values for target organizations. Using these leaked identifiers, the attacker crafts HTTP requests directly to the unprotected /notification/ endpoints (bypassing normal authentication flows) to invoke Twilio integration functions. They purchase premium-rate international phone numbers on the victim's Twilio account, generating significant billing charges, then delete all legitimately configured alerting phone numbers to disable incident notifications. This prevents the operations team from receiving alerts during a subsequent attack or system outage, creating a window for further exploitation or extended service disruption while avoiding detection. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Apr 02, 2026
Authentication bypass in OneUptime notification API endpoints allows unauthenticated remote attackers to manipulate Twilio account resources via missing authorization middleware. Affects all versions prior to 10.0.42. Attackers can purchase phone numbers on victim Twilio accounts and delete configured alerting numbers by exploiting unprotected /notification/ endpoints, using leaked projectId values from public Status Page APIs. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though attack complexity is rated high (CVSS AC:H) and proof-of-concept details are available in the GitHub security advisory.
RemediationAI
Upgrade immediately to OneUptime version 10.0.42 or later, which implements proper ClusterKeyAuthorization middleware across all notification API endpoints per commit 9adbd04538714740506708d6fa610e433be4d2a4 available at https://github.com/OneUptime/oneuptime/commit/9adbd04538714740506708d6fa610e433be4d2a4. Release details are documented at https://github.com/OneUptime/oneuptime/releases/tag/10.0.42. Organizations unable to immediately upgrade should implement network-level access controls restricting /notification/* endpoints to trusted internal IP ranges via Nginx configuration, though this is only a temporary mitigation as the underlying authorization flaw remains. Additionally, audit Twilio account activity logs for unauthorized phone number purchases or deletions, and review Status Page API configurations to minimize projectId exposure where feasible. No effective workaround exists that maintains full notification functionality without the authentication fix.

Technical ContextAI · show details
OneUptime (cpe:2.3:a:oneuptime:oneuptime) is an open-source monitoring platform that uses Twilio for SMS/voice alerting. The vulnerability stems from CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) where notification API endpoints at /notification/* are exposed through Nginx reverse proxy without implementing ClusterKeyAuthorization.isAuthorizedServiceMiddleware, despite this middleware being correctly applied to sibling endpoints in the same codebase. The architecture flaw creates an inconsistent security boundary: while most API routes require cluster-level authentication tokens, the notification subsystem endpoints are reachable without any credential validation. The attack chain requires combining this missing authorization with a separate information disclosure issue-projectId values that should be internal are exposed through the public-facing Status Page API. These projectIds serve as the only required parameter to invoke privileged Twilio operations (purchasing numbers, deleting configurations) through the unprotected endpoints. The Nginx proxy configuration routes external traffic directly to these handlers without enforcing authentication at the gateway level.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
OneUptime is an open-source monitoring and observability platform. Prior to version 10.0.42, multiple notification API endpoints are registered without authentication middleware, while sibling endpoints in the same codebase correctly use ClusterKeyAuthorization.isAuthorizedServiceMiddleware. These endpoints are externally reachable via the Nginx proxy at /notification/. Combined with a projectId leak from the public Status Page API, an unauthenticated attacker can purchase phone numbers on the victim's Twilio account and delete all existing alerting numbers. This issue has been patched in version 10.0.42.
Executive ViewAI
OneUptime versions prior to 10.0.42 contain an authentication bypass in notification API endpoints that permits unauthenticated attackers to manipulate integrated Twilio accounts, including purchasing phone numbers and deleting alert configurations. Organizations using OneUptime for incident alerting face potential disruption of critical notifications and unauthorized cloud resource charges, requiring immediate patching to restore API security controls.
Vendor-released patch: OneUptime 10.0.42. Until patching is complete: (1) Restrict network access to OneUptime notification API endpoints (/notification/*) using firewall rules or WAF policies to trusted internal networks only; (2) enable Twilio API rate limiting and purchase restrictions at the account level; (3) audit and rotate any projectId values exposed in public Status Page configurations; (4) monitor Twilio account for unauthorized resource provisioning via CloudTrail/account activity logs.
