CVE-2026-44732 Details
Description
OpenProject is open-source, web-based project management software. Prior to 17.3.2 and 17.4.0, OpenProject exposes a document update endpoint used to modify existing documents. The target document is loaded with visibility checks and then updated. During update, attacker-controlled attributes are applied to the persisted record before authorization is enforced. As a result, a user without :manage_documents in the source project can move and modify foreign project documents by setting project_id in a single PATCH request. This vulnerability is fixed in 17.3.2 and 17.4.0.
A vulnerability exists in OpenProject versions prior to 17.3.2 and 17.4.0, where the document update endpoint can be exploited to unauthorizedly modify documents. The issue arises because attacker-controlled attributes are applied to documents before proper authorization checks are conducted. This allows users without the 'manage_documents' permission in the source project to alter and relocate documents from other projects by including the 'project_id' in a single PATCH request.
Users can upgrade to OpenProject versions 17.3.2 or 17.4.0 to address this vulnerability.
