MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Defense Evasion The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires the target Chartbrew instance to have at least one public project configured with team-level chart export functionality enabled. The attacker must obtain or enumerate valid chart identifiers, which may be exposed through browser developer tools on public dashboards, predictable ID sequences, or information leakage in API responses. Exploitation succeeds against default configurations of Chartbrew 4.9.0 when public projects exist, as the vulnerability is in the route authorization logic itself rather than optional features. No authentication required (PR:N), no user interaction needed (UI:N), and remotely exploitable (AV:N). Limiting factors: attacker must know the target has public projects, must discover valid chart IDs, and can only access data within charts in public projects (not private projects). Organizations without public projects enabled or without sensitive data hidden from public reports are not practically vulnerable despite running affected code. |
| Impact | Real-world risk is MODERATE despite the 7.5 CVSS score (High severity). The CVSS vector confirms network-based unauthenticated exploitation with high confidentiality impact (C:H), but no integrity or availability impact (I:N/A:N). Exploitation requires the attacker to know or enumerate valid chart identifiers in a public project, which represents a significant practical barrier. The vulnerability is limited to data disclosure of intentionally-hidden charts rather than full database access or system compromise. No EPSS or KEV data provided, but no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The attack complexity is low (AC:L) once a valid chart ID is obtained, making this exploitable via automated scanning if chart IDs are predictable. Primary risk is confidential business intelligence or sensitive data exposure in multi-tenant deployments where organizations rely on chart-level access controls to hide data subsets from public dashboards. Organizations not using the public report feature or those without sensitive data distinctions between public and hidden charts face minimal risk. Patch availability in version 5.0.0 is vendor-confirmed via GitHub security advisory and release notes. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An external attacker identifies a Chartbrew instance with public projects by browsing the application or through reconnaissance. The attacker enumerates or guesses valid chart identifiers (potentially through incremental ID scanning or leaked references in public reports) and crafts direct HTTP requests to the export API endpoints with these chart IDs. Because the routes only verify project-level public access without validating chart-level SharePolicy permissions, the attacker successfully retrieves data from charts intentionally hidden from public view, potentially exposing confidential business metrics, customer data, or internal analytics that should remain private. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Apr 30, 2026
Chartbrew 4.9.0 allows unauthenticated attackers to access hidden chart data via authentication bypass in public chart export routes. Attackers who know a chart identifier in any public project can read or export charts that were intentionally excluded from public reports, bypassing SharePolicy access controls. The vulnerability requires only network access and a valid chart ID, with no authentication or user interaction needed. Patched in version 5.0.0 per vendor advisory GHSA-mq7q-6xh6-5649. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though exploitation complexity is low (CVSS AC:L).
RemediationAI
Upgrade to Chartbrew version 5.0.0 or later immediately, available at https://github.com/chartbrew/chartbrew/releases/tag/v5.0.0. The vendor confirms no manual migration required for v4 users, though updating to Node.js v22+ is recommended. The patch addresses the authentication bypass through improved access control validation in public chart routes. If immediate patching is not feasible, implement compensating controls: disable team-level export functionality in admin settings to prevent chart data exports (trade-off: legitimate export features unavailable to all users), restrict public project access entirely until patching (trade-off: breaks intended public dashboard functionality), or implement reverse proxy/WAF rules to block unauthenticated requests to chart export endpoints matching patterns /api/*/chart/*/export or similar (trade-off: requires precise endpoint mapping and may break legitimate public access if rules are too broad). Review application logs for suspicious chart access patterns from unauthenticated sources prior to patching. Rotate any sensitive data exposed through hidden charts if unauthorized access is suspected.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Chartbrew is an open-source web application for database and API visualization. The vulnerability stems from improper access control (CWE-284) in HTTP routes handling public chart retrieval and export. The affected routes perform project-level public access verification and team-level export toggle checks, but fail to validate chart-level permissions via the SharePolicy mechanism. This creates an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability where chart identifiers can be used to bypass intended access restrictions. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates the flaw is exploitable remotely without authentication, low complexity, and requires no user interaction. The application uses Node.js and has been affected since at least version 4.9.0, with the fix introduced in version 5.0.0 through a comprehensive UI overhaul and codebase refactoring.

DescriptionGitHub Advisory
Chartbrew is an open-source web application that can connect directly to databases and APIs and use the data to create charts. In version 4.9.0, Chartbrew exposes public chart retrieval and export routes that only verify project-level public access and, for exports, a team-level export toggle. The routes do not verify whether the target chart is actually allowed on the public report or whether the governing SharePolicy permits public access. An unauthenticated attacker who knows a chart identifier in a public project can read or export chart data for charts that were intentionally hidden from the report. This issue has been patched in version 5.0.0.
Executive ViewAI
Chartbrew 4.9.0 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability allowing unauthenticated attackers to access and export chart data from public projects by exploiting hidden export routes, potentially exposing sensitive analytics and business intelligence that were intentionally restricted from public visibility. Organizations using Chartbrew for multi-tenant or shared analytics deployments face data exposure risk without immediate visibility controls.
Vendor-released patch: Chartbrew 5.0.0. Until patched: Implement network-layer access controls to restrict public chart export endpoints by IP whitelist; disable public chart functionality entirely if not business-critical; monitor audit logs for anomalous chart export requests using non-standard identifiers.
