CVE-2024-39902Network attack vector

Unauthorized document changes via ignored recursive-permissions checkbox

Published Jul 22, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Improper permission preservation in Tuleap allows remote authenticated users to retain edit or management rights on document sub-items. The web permissions modal treats its recursive checkbox as unchecked, so restrictions applied to a folder are not propagated to sub-items. A project administrator must change permissions through the web UI; direct REST API changes are unaffected, and existing users can retain access.
