Contact-record disclosure via missing object authorization
Published Aug 5, 2026 · Updated Aug 5, 2026
IDOR in Groundhogg 4.5.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary CRM contact records through its REST API. The GET /wp-json/gh/v4/contacts/ handler checks only view_contacts, then read_single() fetches the full record by sequential ID without the object-level view_contact ownership check used elsewhere. A user with view_contacts but not view_others_contacts, including the built-in Sales Rep role, can disclose other contacts’ PII, metadata, owner IDs, edit URLs, and linked WordPress capability sets.
