CVE-2026-67527Network attack vectorHinoki check available

File-link deletion and metadata disclosure via unscoped IDs

Published Jul 30, 2026 · Updated Jul 30, 2026

Improper access control in OpenProject before 17.6.0 allows remote authenticated users to delete or re-parent file links via API. The work-package update path omits the file-link management check, while its setter resolves Storages::FileLink records by raw, globally unscoped IDs. Possession of edit_work_packages without manage_file_links is sufficient to hard-delete attached links or move another project's link and read its filename, origin ID, and MIME type.
