Network PATCH with low complexity but requires project-admin (PR:L); cross-project/storage impact gives S:C with C:H and I:H (ACL overwrite), A:L since victims may lose folder access.

DescriptionCVE.org

OpenProject is open-source, web-based project management software. Prior to 17.3.3 and 17.4.1, there is an IDOR through /projects/<A>/settings/project_storages/<A_ps_id> via PATCH parameter "storages_project_storage[project_folder_id]" leads to Access to Unauthorized Resources. A project-admin in one project can hijack the managed Nextcloud or OneDrive folder of another project on the same storage by writing the victim project's project_folder_id into the attacker's Storages::ProjectStorage row. The next managed-folder sync overwrites the ACL on the referenced folder with the attacker project's user list. This vulnerability is fixed in 17.3.3 and 17.4.1.

AnalysisAI

Cross-project folder hijacking in OpenProject before 17.3.3 and 17.4.1 lets a project-admin abuse an insecure direct object reference (CWE-639) to take over another project's managed Nextcloud or OneDrive storage folder. By PATCHing the storages_project_storage[project_folder_id] parameter on /projects/<id>/settings/project_storages/<ps_id>, an attacker writes a victim project's folder ID into their own ProjectStorage row, and the next managed-folder sync rewrites the target folder's ACL to the attacker's project member list. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Authenticate as project-admin on shared storage
Delivery
Identify victim project_folder_id
Exploit
PATCH storages_project_storage[project_folder_id] to victim folder
Execution
Wait for managed-folder sync
Persist
Sync overwrites victim folder ACL with attacker members
Impact
Access or lock out unauthorized files

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the attacker already hold project-admin (PR:L) on at least one project, that the OpenProject instance use the Nextcloud or OneDrive/SharePoint file-storage integration with the 'managed folder' automation enabled, and that the attacker's project and the victim's project share the same underlying storage backend so their folder IDs are addressable from the same ProjectStorage scope. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Signals are partially aligned and partially missing. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who is project-admin of a low-value project on a shared Nextcloud storage learns or guesses the project_folder_id of a sensitive project, then sends a crafted PATCH request setting storages_project_storage[project_folder_id] to that value on their own project's storage settings. When the next managed-folder sync runs, OpenProject overwrites the victim folder's ACL with the attacker's project members, granting them read/write access to confidential files and locking out legitimate users. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: upgrade to OpenProject 17.3.3 or 17.4.1 (whichever matches your branch), per advisory https://github.com/opf/openproject/security/advisories/GHSA-3vpx-94qx-xpw6. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Identify and document all OpenProject deployments and versions in use; audit which projects have Nextcloud or OneDrive integrations enabled; consider temporarily disabling cloud storage integrations if operationally feasible. …
