AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 26, 2026

Cleartext credential disclosure in OpenProject's Storages module (versions prior to 17.3.3 and 17.4.1) writes the userless OneDrive/SharePoint OAuth access_token in plaintext to Rails.cache under the deterministic key storage.<id>.httpx_access_token, refreshed by an hourly cron and every userless-OAuth call. Because none of the supported cache backends (file_store, memcache, redis) encrypts at rest, an attacker who can read the cache backend retrieves the Azure-AD application-tier bearer token via an anonymous memcached/Redis get. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV.

DescriptionCVE.org

OpenProject is open-source, web-based project management software. Prior to 17.3.3 and 17.4.1, OpenProject's Storages module writes the OneDrive/SharePoint userless OAuth access_token plaintext to Rails.cache under the deterministic key storage.<id>.httpx_access_token, repopulated continuously by an hourly cron and every userless-OAuth call site (see Write cadence). None of the three allowed cache backends (file_store, memcache, redis) encrypts at rest. An attacker with read access to the cache backend recovers the Azure-AD application-tier bearer with an anonymous get over the memcached binary protocol (or the equivalent against Redis). This vulnerability is fixed in 17.3.3 and 17.4.1.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

OpenProject's Storages module (versions prior to 17.3.3 and 17.4.1) stores Azure AD OAuth access tokens in plaintext cache backends, exposing credentials to anyone with cache access. Organizations integrating OpenProject with OneDrive or SharePoint risk unauthorized access to cloud storage and corporate data. No patch is currently available.

Recommended Action

Within 24 hours: Identify all OpenProject instances running versions prior to 17.3.3 and 17.4.1 with Storages module enabled. Within 7 days: Restrict network access to cache backends (memcached, Redis, file-based caches) via firewall and VPC controls; enable authentication on all cache services. Within 30 days: Upgrade to OpenProject 17.3.3 or 17.4.1 once released, or disable Storages module if upgrade timeline extends beyond 30 days.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Restrict network access to cache backends via firewall rules and VPC security groups to authorized systems only; (2) Enable authentication and TLS on memcached and Redis services; (3) Disable userless OAuth in OpenProject Storages configuration if operationally feasible; (4) Implement access logging and alerting on cache backend connections; (5) Immediately rotate Azure AD application credentials used by OpenProject.
