MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires that a victim already authenticated to Tuleap - and holding sufficient permissions to modify a tracker's general settings - be tricked into interacting with attacker-controlled content (CVSS UI:R), such as visiting a malicious page while their Tuleap session is active. The attacker itself needs no account or privileges (PR:N), but cannot act without this authenticated, interacting victim, which is the primary limiting factor. The affected feature is specifically the tracker general-settings configuration in Tuleap Community Edition below 17.0.99.1762444754 and Enterprise Edition prior to 17.0-2, 16.13-7, and 16.12-10; instances already upgraded to the fixed versions are not exploitable. No special non-default configuration is named as a prerequisite, but the impact is confined to integrity of tracker settings with no confidentiality or availability effect. |
| Impact | This is a low-to-moderate priority issue, and the signals are internally consistent rather than conflicting. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3 (MEDIUM) reflects a cross-site request forgery (CWE-352) flaw with network vector (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), no attacker privileges (PR:N), but mandatory user interaction (UI:R), unchanged scope (S:U), and only a low integrity impact (I:N→ actually C:N/I:L/A:N - no confidentiality or availability impact). The EPSS score is very low at 0.02% (5th percentile), indicating virtually no observed exploitation activity in the wild. There is no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit code identified in the provided data, so exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' All signals align toward LOW real-world urgency: the impact is limited to unauthorized changes to tracker general settings (an integrity-only, non-privilege-escalating effect), exploitation requires tricking an authenticated victim with sufficient tracker-administration rights into interacting with attacker-controlled content, and the EPSS probability confirms this is not a mass-exploitation target. A patch is confirmed available from the vendor. This is a legitimate defense-in-depth fix rather than an emergency; prioritize routine patching over out-of-band response. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a malicious web page or email containing a forged request targeting a Tuleap tracker's general-settings endpoint and lures a logged-in Tuleap user who has rights to modify that tracker into visiting it. Because the application does not adequately validate request origin (CWE-352), the victim's authenticated browser silently submits the state-changing request, altering the tracker's general settings without the victim's intent. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, and the network vector with low complexity is offset by the requirement that the victim be authenticated and actively interact (UI:R). |

Alert meAnalysisAIv2 – Oct 07, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in Tuleap's tracker general-settings endpoint allows a remote attacker with no account of their own to trick a logged-in user who has tracker-administration rights into silently changing a tracker's general configuration options. The flaw affects Tuleap Community Edition below 17.0.99.1762444754 and Tuleap Enterprise Edition prior to 17.0-2, 16.13-7, and 16.12-10, and is scored CVSS 4.3 with integrity-only impact (no confidentiality or availability loss). Exploitation requires an authenticated, sufficiently privileged victim to interact with attacker-controlled content, and no public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis; EPSS is 0.02% (5th percentile), indicating a low likelihood of near-term exploitation.

RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade Tuleap Community Edition to 17.0.99.1762444754 and Tuleap Enterprise Edition to 17.0-2, 16.13-7, or 16.12-10 (or later on the corresponding branch); the fixing change is visible in commit 993316dd6a291bb3937cb7a4571eaab0e7d55370 (mirrored at tuleap.net) and the advisory at https://github.com/Enalean/tuleap/security/advisories/GHSA-vxfh-h8p6-p5rg. Community Edition users not on a release train should note the 17.0.99.x nightly-style version string and confirm with the vendor artifact page which build supersedes it. If immediate upgrade is not possible, compensating controls include tightening tracker permissions so that only a small set of trusted users can modify tracker general settings - this shrinks the pool of usable victims but does not remove the underlying CSRF flaw and may slow legitimate project administration; and issuing session cookies with SameSite=Lax/Strict or adding an edge WAF/reverse-proxy rule that rejects cross-origin (mismatched Origin/Referer) POSTs to the tracker settings endpoint, with the caveat that overly strict Origin/Referer enforcement can break legitimate embedded or cross-origin workflows and is a stopgap rather than a vendor-supported fix. Advising privileged users to log out of or close their Tuleap session before browsing untrusted sites reduces exposure only marginally and is entirely user-dependent, so it should not be treated as a substitute for patching.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause is CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery): the Tuleap tracker general-settings functionality - where project members with the relevant rights configure a tracker's title, description, and other global options - does not adequately validate that an incoming state-changing request originated from Tuleap itself, so a request forged from a third-party page is accepted using the victim's ambient session. Tuleap is an open-source (PHP/MySQL) application lifecycle management and collaboration suite maintained by Enalean, distributed as Community Edition and Enterprise Edition, which is reflected in the supplied CPEs (cpe:2.3:a:enalean:tuleap with 'community' and 'enterprise' edition components and wildcard version fields). The independent CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N shows a network-reachable, low-complexity attack in which the adversary needs no credentials (PR:N) and cannot act alone - success depends entirely on a victim who is already authenticated and holds enough permission to modify tracker settings being induced to load the attacker's page or content (UI:R). Because the scope is unchanged and only integrity is affected (I:L), the realistic consequence is unauthorized modification of tracker configuration rather than data theft, service disruption, or full account compromise; instances already running the fixed releases are not vulnerable.
