Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the attacker to be an authenticated Bugsink user (CVSS PR:L) with at least member-level access to any project on the target instance. Critically, the attacker must already possess a valid UUID for a target issue in a different project - the application provides no issue enumeration path, and UUIDs are randomly generated and not guessable in practice. The attack targets the bulk action endpoint on the issue list view and is limited to state modifications (resolve, mute) with no confidentiality or availability impact. Hosted Bugsink deployments are not cross-tenant vulnerable, as each tenant receives a separate instance; exploitation is strictly cross-project within a single shared instance. The CVSS AC:H rating directly encodes the UUID-knowledge prerequisite as the limiting complexity factor.

Impact

Real-world risk is low and consistent across all available signals. CVSS 3.1 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N) reflects network accessibility but high attack complexity, no confidentiality or availability impact, and limited integrity effect. The AC:H rating is directly justified by the requirement to possess a valid UUID from a target project - UUIDs are non-enumerable and not practical to brute-force. EPSS at 0.03% (8th percentile) and SSVC classification of Exploitation:none, Automatable:no, Technical Impact:partial all converge on the same assessment. The CVE is absent from CISA KEV and no POC has been identified. The self-hosted, single-tenant deployment model common to Bugsink further constrains blast radius, as Hosted Bugsink isolates tenants to separate instances - cross-project impact is bounded within a single organization's instance. This is a genuine but low-priority authorization flaw: worth patching promptly but not a crisis.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated Bugsink user with legitimate membership in Project A obtains the UUID of an issue in Project B - for example, from a previously shared link, a notification, or prior elevated access. The attacker submits a bulk resolve or mute request through the Project A issue list interface, supplying the Project B issue UUID in the payload. The backend processes the bulk action against the Project B issue without verifying project ownership, silently changing its state and potentially hiding active errors from the Project B team.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 08, 2026

Cross-project issue state modification in Bugsink prior to 2.2.0 allows authenticated users with access to one project to alter the state of issues belonging to other projects if a valid target issue UUID is known. The bulk action endpoint authorizes based on the project in the URL but applies submitted issue IDs without verifying project membership, creating a project-boundary authorization bypass. No active exploitation has been confirmed (not in CISA KEV), no public exploit code has been identified, and the EPSS score of 0.03% (8th percentile) reflects minimal real-world exploitation probability.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to Bugsink 2.2.0 or later, which scopes bulk issue actions and event lookups to the authorized project, eliminating the boundary bypass. The release is available at https://github.com/bugsink/bugsink/releases/tag/2.2.0 and the security advisory at https://github.com/bugsink/bugsink/security/advisories/GHSA-g5vc-q7qc-v939. If immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict project membership so that users are only added to the specific projects they require - this reduces the attacker's opportunity window since exploitation requires authenticated access to at least one project on the instance. Given that exploitation also requires prior knowledge of a target issue UUID (not discoverable through the application), organizations with strict, minimal project membership assignments face materially reduced risk during a patching window. There are no significant trade-offs to the membership restriction workaround beyond administrative overhead.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The root cause is CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key): the bulk action handler trusts client-submitted issue UUIDs without cross-referencing them against the URL-scoped project. Bugsink is a Django-based Python web application distributed as the pip package 'bugsink'. Its issue list view performs project-level authorization using the URL path, but the bulk state-change logic (resolve, mute, etc.) then operates on any submitted UUID regardless of project membership. CPE cpe:2.3:a:bugsink:bugsink:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all versions prior to 2.2.0. The fix in 2.2.0 enforces that bulk issue actions and event lookups are scoped to the authorized parent project, closing the object-level authorization gap.

DescriptionCVE.org

Bugsink is a self-hosted error tracking tool. Prior to 2.2.0, In affected versions, the issue list view authorizes access through the project in the URL, but applies the requested bulk action to the submitted issue IDs without also requiring those issues to belong to that project. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.2.0.
