DescriptionGitHub Advisory

Mathesar is a web application that makes working with PostgreSQL databases both simple and powerful. From 0.2.0 to before 0.10.0, explorations.get, explorations.replace, and explorations.delete operate on an exploration_id without verifying that the requesting user was a collaborator on the exploration’s database. An authenticated user on the same Mathesar installation who knew or guessed an exploration ID could read, replace, or delete a saved exploration belonging to a database where they were not a collaborator. This affected Mathesar-managed saved exploration definitions, including names, descriptions, selected columns, display metadata, filters, sorting, and transformations. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.10.0.

AnalysisAI

Broken access control in Mathesar 0.2.0 through 0.9.x allows authenticated users to read, modify, or delete saved explorations (database query definitions) in databases where they lack collaborator privileges. Exploitation requires only a valid user account and knowledge of an exploration ID - easily guessed or enumerated. Fixed in version 0.10.0. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, with EPSS data not available for this recently disclosed vulnerability.

Technical ContextAI

Mathesar is a PostgreSQL database management web application designed to simplify database operations through a user-friendly interface. Saved explorations are query definitions that store column selections, filters, sorts, transformations, and metadata for reuse. The vulnerability stems from CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key), where the explorations.get, explorations.replace, and explorations.delete API endpoints accept an exploration_id parameter but fail to verify the requesting user's role in the associated database. The application's role-based access control (RBAC) should enforce database-level collaborator permissions before allowing exploration operations, but these specific endpoints skip that verification step. This is a classic Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) pattern where internal object IDs are exposed without proper authorization checks.

RemediationAI

Upgrade immediately to Mathesar 0.10.0, which implements proper authorization checks on exploration API endpoints to verify requesting users hold collaborator permissions for the associated database. The fix is confirmed by the Mathesar Foundation in their security advisory at https://github.com/mathesar-foundation/mathesar/security/advisories/GHSA-wf8r-g5rp-w69f. No workarounds exist that preserve full functionality. Temporary compensating controls for environments unable to upgrade immediately: restrict network access to the Mathesar web interface using firewall rules or reverse proxy authentication to limit the authenticated user base to fully trusted personnel only, accepting the trade-off that untrusted users cannot access the system at all. Alternatively, monitor application logs for repeated exploration API calls with sequential or unusual exploration_id patterns to detect enumeration attempts, though this provides detection rather than prevention and requires custom log analysis infrastructure.
