CVE-2026-24042 Details
Description
Appsmith is a platform to build admin panels, internal tools, and dashboards. In versions 1.94 and below, publicly accessible apps allow unauthenticated users to execute unpublished (edit-mode) actions by sending viewMode=false (or omitting it) to POST /api/v1/actions/execute. This bypasses the expected publish boundary where public viewers should only execute published actions, not edit-mode versions. An attack can result in sensitive data exposure, execution of edit‑mode queries and APIs, development data access, and the ability to trigger side effect behavior. This issue does not have a released fix at the time of publication.
A vulnerability in Appsmith versions through 1.94 allows unauthenticated users to execute unpublished (edit-mode) actions in publicly accessible apps. This is achieved by sending viewMode=false or omitting the viewMode parameter in POST requests to /api/v1/actions/execute. This behavior bypasses the intended publish boundary, which restricts public viewers to executing only published actions. The vulnerability could lead to unauthorized execution of edit-mode queries and APIs, access to development data, triggering of side effects such as write operations or external API calls, and exposure of sensitive data from unpublished actions.
