Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
Ghostwriter through 7.2.6 does not apply per-object authorization on its report template lint endpoints. RoleBasedAccessControlMixin.test_func returns only request.user.is_active unless a view overrides it, and neither the endpoint that lints a report template nor the endpoint that returns stored lint results provides an override, so each resolves a ReportTemplate from a caller-supplied primary key with no ownership or client-scope check. Any authenticated account can therefore lint an arbitrary template, which overwrites that template's stored lint result, and can read the returned findings, which enumerate the template's variable names and template-engine errors and so disclose its structure. This is distinct from the template swap path: that endpoint authorizes the report but omits the per-template check, whereas these endpoints omit authorization entirely and remain unfixed.
AnalysisAI
Missing per-object authorization on Ghostwriter's report template lint endpoints through version 7.2.6 exposes cross-tenant template metadata to any authenticated user. The RoleBasedAccessControlMixin.test_func method defaults to checking only request.user.is_active, and neither the lint-trigger endpoint nor the lint-result retrieval endpoint overrides this with ownership or client-scope validation. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Authentication is required - the attacker must hold any active Ghostwriter user account (CVSS PR:L confirms low-privilege authentication is sufficient; unauthenticated access is not possible). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N) confirms low-complexity network exploitation requiring only a valid authenticated session - no elevated role or special configuration needed. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An authenticated Ghostwriter user with any active low-privileged account iterates through sequential or guessed report template primary keys by calling the lint trigger endpoint with each ID. The endpoint resolves the template object and executes linting with no ownership check, returning findings that enumerate variable names and template-engine errors belonging to templates across all clients and users. … |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch version is identified at time of analysis - the CVE description explicitly states the lint endpoints remain unfixed. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
