Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires two conditions: (1) the attacker can reach the Craftplan Settings JSON:API endpoint over the network, and (2) the attacker possesses or can enumerate a valid Settings record ID. The record ID is not publicly disclosed and must be obtained through prior reconnaissance - this is the basis for the AC:H rating in the CVSS 4.0 vector. No authentication, user interaction, special platform, or non-default configuration is required beyond network reachability and a valid ID. Limiting factors include: the need to enumerate or guess a valid record ID before exploitation succeeds, and the impact being confined to credential confidentiality (no integrity or availability impact on the Craftplan instance itself). Craftplan deployments isolated from untrusted networks are protected by network boundaries rather than by any application-layer control.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.2 reflects a remotely accessible credential-disclosure flaw with no authentication requirement (PR:N) and high confidentiality impact (VC:H). However, AC:H is a meaningful modifier: the attacker must supply a valid Settings record ID, which is not publicly known by default and requires prior reconnaissance or enumeration. This complexity gap limits opportunistic mass exploitation but does not protect against a targeted attacker who has already obtained an ID through other means. No EPSS probability data was supplied in the available intelligence, and no CISA KEV entry or public exploit code has been identified - exploitation probability and breadth remain unknown. The credential types at risk (SMTP passwords, email provider API keys and secrets) carry outsized downstream harm: they can enable account-takeover via password-reset hijacking, impersonation phishing sent from a trusted mail server, or abuse of third-party email-service quotas and reputation - risks that extend well beyond the Craftplan instance itself. Any organization running an internet-exposed Craftplan deployment should treat this as urgent even absent confirmed exploitation.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker targeting an internet-facing Craftplan instance enumerates or infers a valid Settings record ID - for example by observing application behavior, API responses in an authenticated session on a shared instance, or brute-forcing sequential IDs - then issues an unauthenticated GET request to the Settings JSON:API endpoint. The response body returns decrypted SMTP credentials and email provider API keys, which the attacker uses to dispatch phishing emails through the victim organization's trusted mail server or to access the victim's email service account directly. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but the technique requires only standard HTTP tooling once a valid record ID is obtained.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 21, 2026

Craftplan versions prior to 0.5.1 expose decrypted SMTP passwords, email API keys, and email API secrets to unauthenticated network attackers via a broken always-allow authorization policy on the Settings JSON:API resource. Exploitation requires only a valid Settings record ID and a standard GET request - no credentials or elevated access are needed. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but the low post-enumeration technical barrier makes this a meaningful credential-exposure risk for any internet-facing Craftplan instance.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Craftplan to version 0.5.1 or later immediately; this is the vendor-released patch confirmed by the GitHub release at https://github.com/puemos/craftplan/releases/tag/v0.5.1 and commit 317acd584b68887f592dc3b97f47703dd63b1bf. If immediate upgrade is not possible, apply a network-level control to block unauthenticated external access to the Settings JSON:API endpoint - note this may disrupt legitimate API consumers and does not address the underlying authorization defect. Regardless of patch timing, rotate all SMTP passwords, email API keys, and email API secrets stored in Craftplan immediately, as there is no reliable way to determine whether credentials were already exfiltrated from an exposed instance. Also audit any third-party email service accounts (e.g., SendGrid, Mailgun) for unauthorized usage following the credential exposure window.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Craftplan (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:puemos:craftplan:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is a project management application developed by puemos and built on the Ash framework for Elixir. The root cause maps to CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): the Ash authorization policy for the Settings resource was implemented with an unconditional allow rule on read operations, meaning the framework never evaluates the caller's identity before permitting access. Compounding the flaw, the JSON:API serializer included decrypted credential fields - SMTP passwords, email API keys, and email API secrets - in the response body rather than suppressing them. The v0.5.1 fix, confirmed by commit 317acd584b68887f592dc3b97f47703dd63b1bf, addresses both layers: it gates Settings reads to authorized staff and administrators and removes credential fields from API serialization entirely. It also corrects JWT-authenticated API users being incorrectly applied to Ash authorization policies, suggesting a broader authorization wiring defect in the pre-0.5.1 codebase.

DescriptionCVE.org

Craftplan before 0.5.1 contains a broken access control vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to read sensitive credentials by exploiting an unconditional authorization policy on the Settings resource. Attackers can send a GET request to the settings API endpoint with a valid record ID to retrieve decrypted SMTP passwords, email API keys, and email API secrets due to the read policy using an always-allow authorization check that bypasses all identity verification.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Craftplan versions prior to 0.5.1 contain an authorization bypass that exposes email credentials-including SMTP passwords and API keys-to any unauthenticated network attacker; no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Any internet-facing Craftplan instance is vulnerable if not patched. Organizations must upgrade immediately and rotate email credentials to prevent unauthorized access to email systems.
